I woke up by Damon. We were landing soon. I thanked him for waking me up before we suddenly started going down. When we landed, he took my bag much to my protest. We walked out. Jenny was waiting to pick us up. I had txted and asked her to. The hospital wasn't far so it was easy that way. We had a quiet ride over. Damon was looking out the window probably thinking about what he was going to tell Bailey.

"Damon, just wait till you walk in the room. I want it a surprise."

"That's fine."

We arrived the hospital. We walked out. We got to her floor. This place... Bailey shouldn't be here. She was only a little kid. They found out after the trip to see Johnny. She fainted. A doctor visit and she's been here ever since. Trying to get better. But her heart isn't in it. Hopefully seeing Damon... I shouldn't put my trust in him though. I walked in, trying to be brave. Seeing her weak in the hospital though....

"Bailey. I had Caroline and Holly here a couple days ago. I went on a trip with them. I brought some one with me."

"Who?"

"Me." Damon walked in.

Bailey was surprised. "Damon?"

"Yes, sweetie it's me." He went over to give her a hug. She was excited to see him.

"You actually came."

"Surprised?"

"Everyone said you were different. Meaner. Victoria told me that you didn't seem to care anymore about anything that remind you of her." He frowned.

"I know I made mistakes. But I'm trying to fix them."

"Fix me you mean? That's what everyone is saying."

"Actually I came here to tell you the truth. I'm trying to fix the problems I'm having with Victoria."

"What's the truth?"

"That whatever problems we are having, it's not your fault. I didn't tell Victoria that I was upset at her. She didn't pick up on them. We didn't handle our problems well."

"So I didn't do anything wrong?"

"You never did. The rumors were trying to make up good stories."

"I don't understand."

"When people call you names in front of others, trying to get drama, same idea."

"I see."

"So promise me you will eat something and get better?"

"Pinkie promise!" They pinkie promised. It was the cutest thing.

He got up from being so close to Bailey. He stood off to the side to let me talk to her. I went up and sat on her bed.

"How are you feeling today?"

"Better now that Damon explained it to me. I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. I'm sorry." I brushed the hair away from her eyes. "I love you, baby-girl." She hugged me.

"I love you too, Vee-Bee. So what did you do with Holly and Caroline?"

"Fashion show, went to Holly's school, hockey game, movie night, laser tags."

"Sounds fun."

"It was." I smiled at her. "But you will always be my number one girl."

She smiled at me. "I miss you."

"I'm not going anywhere again. Not until you are much better."

"Sleepover tonight?"

"Of course!"
