I stepped out of the warm shower and quickly wrapped myself in my towel as regret hit me when the cold air squeezed me tightly. The mirror was completely fogged up. I must have been in there for awhile.
A quiet knock came from the outside of the bathroom door. I unlocked it and opened it a sliver as I clutched my small towel wrapped around me. It was Alec. His green eyes glanced up and down and his cheeks flushed a little as his eyes met mine. His hand ranked through his thick dark brown waves.
"Can I talk to you-"
"Andreas showering in there!" Lucky shouted toward Alec as a slight glare came upon his face.
He sighed and pushed his way through (crutches and all) the opening and into the steamy bathroom.
"Alec! I'm practically naked!" I hissed at him my face going red.
"I need you to promise you won't tell anyone about what happened in the hospital room." His eyes stared seriously at mine.
"Yea, I-i wasn't going to."
"Thank you-"
"Hey! Get out perv!" Lucky pounded on the door.
Alec swung open the door and hobbled past lucky who stood glaring at Alec.
"What the hell did he want?" Lucky frowned.
"Calm down. He was just talking to me." I rolled my eyes.
"He couldn't of waited?" He frowned and crossed his arms across his chest.
I shrugged.
"Guess not."
I walked into my room quietly to grab my clothes.
All the lights were shut off, the curtains closed.
I chewed on my lip as I glanced at the boy that slept quietly in my bed. Poor guy.
I closed the door and came back out to change in the washroom.
"How is he?" Alec asked,
"He's still asleep."
Alec hopped up onto the bar stool and resting his crutches on one of the legs.
"Thanks guys, for letting me crash with you. I really had no where else to go."
I smile at him and Lucky glared at me.
I flicked his arm.
"Get it together lucky."

Hours passed as everyone waited for luke to wake up.
"Should I go check on him?" I asked, eyes glanced around assuring everyone was agreeing.
I got up off the couch my eyes meeting Alec's and then Lucky's as I walked to my room.
I opened the door quietly.
"Luke?"
I flickered on one of the small lamps and walked towards the side of my bed. My hand stroked his cheek and his jaw tightened.
"Where's alec?" He whispered. His voice raspy and low. I couldn't tell whether his eyes where open or not the way he was frowning.
"He's here. He's in the living room."
"It's really bright in here." He mumbled. I turned off the lamp and opened the curtain just a sliver so I could at least find my way back.
"Are we back home?" He asked.
"Yea we are. Does your head hurt? Do you want some Advil?"
"I'll get it." He mumbled as he got up.
I grasped onto him as his weight shifted onto me.
"A-are you sure?"
He was standing now, beside the bed. His arm around my shoulder and mine around his waist. He closed his eyes for a long second before he nodded.
"Yeah."
I opened the door slightly and his breath hitched and he winced.
"I-its really bright out there." Luke said as he rubbed his eyes.
"How about you just stay in here."
He shook his head.
"No I want to go out there."
"Alright close your eyes and give me one second, I have something that can help you."
"Why the eyes clos-" I flicked on the big light and he wined.
After rummaging around in my suitcase I came back and slid the sunglasses onto his face.
He chuckled slightly and kinda slowly too.
We walked out and he sat down, practically on, Alec. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to do that.
Alec laughed and lifted his arm up and onto the top of the couch, Luke went from leaning on Alec's arm to on his chest.
"How's that concussion working out for you?" Alec said making everyone chuckle.
"Sh." Luke mumbled barely even awake.
"I'm just glad he's ok." Kate said.
"What even happened to him? I left after Alec kept yelling, it was annoying." Isabel sat beside Marcus, twirling her hair between her fingertips.
"He had a small brain bleed and severe concussion. He's alright now though." Sebastian said.
"We just can't let him hit his head on anything."
Luke wrapped his arms around Alec, his head still on his chest. Completely asleep.
"That's hilarious." Isabel pointed out and the others kinda agreed. Alec laughed and smiled down at Luke.
"Whatta goof."
"How'd it happen?" Marcus asked,
"um w-what do you mean?" Alec's eyes found mine.
"He probably doesn't want to talk about it marc. It was pretty traumatic." I spoke up.
"Why are you always defending him?" Lucky frowned.
"Why would it matter?" I asked him.
"You just never act that way with me." He said quietly.
"That's because I've never had to. Lucky stop being so jealous all the time."
"Oh please Alec was barely hurt! How'd it happen?" Isabel daunted him.
Alec's jaw set and he stared at Isabel.
"We just got in an argument and didn't know the edge was so... close." He chewed on his lip and didn't make eye contact with anyone.
"So that's why you did it. You were angry."
Alec's eyes focused on the carpet. There was something really different about him. He was so tall, so buff, his slit in his eyebrow made him look kinda badass. Also something that looked so vulnerable about him. Maybe It just showed how bad he felt.
"Cmon Alec, I know you did it. He could have died!" Isabel taunted him urging him to snap.
I pulled myself off the couch and whipped my hand through the air and it slapped across Isabel's face. She grinned then pretended as if my hand hit her so hard it broke her jaw.
"Andrea!" Lucky stood up.
"What the hell are you doing?" He frowned.
"She was harassing him!"
"Barely. She wanted the truth."
Alec sighed and stood up with his crutches.
"Ill go take Luke to your room." He mumbled.
As he attention was on luke as Alec tried to wake luke up while he leaned on his crutches.
"I'm awake." He mumbled.
Isabel lightly kicked one of the crutches out from under him causing him to put all his weight onto his right leg, the broken one. I watched in pain as his back heaved and he pulled the crutch back.
I walked around to him as he chewed on his bottom lip wincing.
"Do you want me to help you get Luke over there?"
He nodded.
"I-I can walk myself. Are you alright?" Luke mumbled looking up at Alec.
He nodded.
We all walked back to the bedroom and as soon as the door closed Alec sat back on the bed.
"God I hate that bitch." Luke frowned still quiet.
He sat behind Alec, his hand must have been on his back or something.
"I'm fine." Alec wiped his eyes, his cheeks going red.
I stared at them briefly before I glanced at the door. Alec's eyes glanced that way too and I left feeling like I was intruding.
Lucky hopped off the couch and wrapped his arm around me,
"I want to show you something." He mumbled. I shrugged staring at his baby blue eyes,
"Don't feel like it right now."
"Bullshit." He chuckled.
"I want to show you something." He repeated himself as he grabbed his coat off the rack, sliding it on.
"I didn't say yes."
"Ah but you didn't say no." He grinned pulling me out the door my jacket in his hand.
"Ah but I basically did." I rolled my eyes.
"Cmon it'll be fun. And anyways it's one of our last nights here."
So I followed him. We walking in the darkness of the night up and up and up until we reached the top of the hotel.
The roof.
Lucky swiftly got up the ladder in about two out of the five steps with his long legs, I did it in six out of the five.
We walked across the wide rooftop and to the edge.
Lucky sat down his feet dangling over the edge. He glanced back at me and patted the open "seat" beside him.
I cautiously sat down my feet copying Lucky's.
"Wow we're pretty high up."
"Ya it's pretty cool up here." He grinned.
We were quiet for a second and i couldn't take my eyes off of him. His blue eyes stared off into the horizon, his pink lips waiting to be kissed, his soft fluffy hair, his broad shoulders, his cheekbones, his-
"Andy?" He chuckled and I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
"What now?" The side of his mouth twitched upwards.
"It's just-" my cheeks grew red.
"You haven't called me that in awhile."
He sighed and dropped his arm around me, pulling me against him.
"Actually Andy, I've called you that at least twice this week so..." I laughed and pushed him lightly.
"I wanted to bring you up here to tell you something too." His eyes stared deeply into mine.
"I'm moving to L.A."
