It's Just Love.. (Hayes Grier)

Chapter 21- Is He Okay?

**ALYSSA'S POV**

I woke up in Hayes' arms. He was lightly snoring with his head on top of mine. I carefully took my head out from under his and sat up, my arms still around his neck. I looked at him and quickly pecked his lips. Then I looked over and the rest of the boys were sleeping too, except for Carter. He looked over at me and smiled.

"Finally somebody is awake." He whispered. I smiled back and him. I got out of Hayes' grip and walked over to the empty chair next to Carter.

"I'm hungry." I whispered, putting my head on his shoulder.

"Let's go get some food from the café." He smiled. We both got up and headed down the hallway to find the cafeteria. The hospital was pretty big so it took us about 10 minutes to find it. We walked in and there were very few people in there. Just some workers and patients.

I looked up at him. He noticed and looked down at me with a smile.

"Get anything you want." He said and patted my back. I nodded and smiled back.

I walked around, grabbing food for myself and Hayes while Carter got things for him and the rest of the guys. Except Taylor of course. I keep thinking about him. I need to get him and all of this out of my mind, even though I'm at the hospital while Taylor is practically on his death bed. We can only hope that he is alright.

I grabbed about $20 worth of stuff and went back to Carter who also had a good amount. We payed and took the food back for everyone to eat. By now it was about 8:00, visiting hours end at 8:30. When we got back to our friends, they were all awake and hungry as well.

We finished eating around 8:20 and the nurse who was in the ambulance with me came up.

"Hi guys." She waved. "I'm sorry to say that visiting hours are ending in just ten minutes. We are only allowed to have one visitor stay overnight with us and Taylor." She said. We all looked around at each other.

"I think Alyssa should stay." Hayes blurted out. I smiled at him. Everyone agreed and then it was final that I was staying with Taylor. I hadn't seen him since he was taken away to the ER. I sighed and gave all the boys hugs.

"Thank you, guys." I gave them a light smile. They all said their goodbyes to me and walked out, except for Brent and Hayes.

"I love you. Stay strong." Hayes said intertwining our fingers. I gave me a short but passionate kiss and then a hug. "Bye baby." He waved and walked out the door. I waved back until he disappeared out of sight.

"So will you be okay here alone?" Brent asked. I nodded and took in a shaky breath. "Be safe. Here's $20 in case you get hungry." He said, handing me the money. I shook my head and gave it back to him.

"I have my own money, thanks anyways." I said, holding up my wristlet. He shook his head.

"You've been through a lot. Take it." He demanded. I took the money and gave him a long hug.

"Thanks for everything." I whispered. He kissed my forehead.

"Good luck. I love you." He said as he walked away.

"I love you too." I waved.

I walked up to the desk and asked where Taylor's room was.

"Room 132." The woman smiled. I nodded. I walked down the hall until I found it. I was debating on whether I should go in while he's in this state. I was confused and tired and sad but I had to see him.

"Here goes nothing." I whispered to
Myself as I walked in.

There he was, one of my best friends, laying there. He looked so lifeless. He was hooked up to tubes. A doctor came in as I sat down in the chair next to the bed.

"Hello. You must be Alyssa." He smiled. I nodded my head. "Well your friend, Taylor, has suffered some injuries." He added.

"Can I know what they are?" I asked. He nodded and flipped some of the pages on his clipboard.

"Well, he's got a concision, but it's not too bad so he should be alright. Also, he has a broken leg, we will perform surgery on it tomorrow. That's it. Not too bad." He smiled. I smiled really big and took Taylor's hand. "He should be up soon." The doctor smiled. I nodded and looked down at Taylor. The man exited the room.

"Did you here that, Tay? You're going to be alright." I said, happy tears filling my eyes.

"A-Alyssa?" Taylor said, his eyes opening. I gasped.

"You're awake!" I exclaimed, the tears falling out.

"Alyssa. Is that really you?" He smiled. I nodded, a huge smile spreading wide across my face.

**TAYLOR'S POV**

I woke up to a familiar voice in my ear. Alyssa.

"A-Alyssa?" I asked. She looked shocked and she started crying hysterically. I didn't think she was actually standing in front of me.

"Alyssa. Is that really you?" I smiled big. She nodded and smiled with me.

"Come lay with me. I'm lonely." I whined. She shook her head.

"Taylor, I'm afraid I'll hurt you." She sighed.

"No you won't. Just come here. Pretty please." I pleaded.

"Fine." She sighed. She came to the bed and crawled up next to me. I pulled her really close.

"What happened?" I asked her. She put her head in my chest.
----------------------------------------------

When she was all done telling me, small tears fell out of her eyes. I wiped them away and kissed her forehead.

"Alyssa don't cry." I let out a small chuckle. She clutched me tighter and I pulled her into me more. I don't know why she is taking this all so hard. "I'm fine, baby girl. Look at me." I said. She poked her head up from my chest. "There's nothing to cry about, I'm fine. Everything is okay except for my leg. It hurts like hell." I explained.

"Um...Taylor?" She asked.

"Yeah?" I smiled down at her. She hid her face in my chest again.

"Y-your leg hurts b-becuase-" she paused. "It's broken." She sighed. So that's why my leg has been hurting.

"Oh. Well that's okay. Why are you acting so weird about everything? I'm fine, Alyssa. As long as you stay here with me." I wrapped my arms around her tightly and she snuggled into me. We slowly drifted off to sleep like that.
