Calum's PoV:

I watched as Nessa was rolled out of the hospital room and taken to the operating room.

It was only leg surgery, I knew that, but she was scared and therefore I was scared for her.

I walked out to the waiting room where my friends were waiting and sat down next to them.

"So?" Luke asked.

"They just took her back."

"And i'm guessing my advice worked because you two are back together." Kate smiled.

"Yeah." I laughed. "It's great, but i'm worried about her."

"Why?" Ashton asked.

"Because she's terrified of this surgery, and I just want her to get better."

"Trust me, this is a simple surgery. She'll make it through. Physical therapy will be tough, and she'll need a lot of support but as long you don't turn into a total dick again, things should be fine." Michael smirked.

"Thanks." I rolled my eyes. "Now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go to the hospital gift shop and buy her some flowers."

I stood up and Kate came with me as we went down to the gift shop.

I was looking at different flower options when Kate came up next to me.

"Red roses are her favorite." She said.

"Noted." I picked up a vase.

"Also, it'd be cute if you had Eli and Cade write her a get well soon card or something for when she gets out of surgery."

"That's a really good idea, actually. I'll call my mom."

I did as such and she said she'd bring the kids by, and so we went back up to the waiting room to wait for Nessa's surgery to be over.

It was going to take hours, and as they passed by a nurse came out to update us to say it was going well so far.

After a while I looked over to see my parents walking in with Eli and Cade. I hadn't seen them since I had started taking care of Nessa.

"Daddy!" Eli ran towards me and I caught him in a hug.

"Hey, bud." I smiled.

Cade then ran over and I hugged him as well before kissing his cheek.

"Where's Nessa?" Eli asked me.

"She's in surgery right now."

"We made her pictures!" He then showed me the cards he and Eli had made.

"Those are awesome." I said.

"Calum, can I talk to you for a moment?" My mom then asked me, and I held Cade while Eli went to Kate to show her the picture he drew.

I followed my mom and dad  into the hall outside the waiting room.

"We were just wondering, do you think it's the best thing for Eli to see Nessa if you've broken up." My father said.

"We got back together, actually." I said.

"You did?" My mother raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah. It took a lot of convincing and a broken leg to wear her down but we're back on." I tried to joke.

"Are you going to bring her to dinner so we can meet her for more than five minutes this time?" My mother asked.
