I woke up the next morning, pain taking full control. I wanted to scream out for help, but I'm strong enough. The monitor next to me started beeping like crazy, my eyes widening in fear. A nurse rushed in with a clipboard. She quickly plugged a wire back in, "You're okay Miss. Caniff, your wire just came undone." she smiled. I nodded. "would you like some water? or something for breakfast?" she asked. "Uh sure." I mumbled. "Here's a menu. Just scan over it, then press this button and I'll come bring it to you." she smiled again and walked out of the room. I decided to get a glass of orange juice, pancakes, fresh strawberries and blueberries. The nurse brought my food to me, then quickly left. A few minutes later Taylor walked in. "Hey." i said. "Hey... how are you feeling?" he asked. "Eh... hurts... a lot, but I'm fine." I mumbled. "Courtney if it hurts you need to tell the nurse, they'll bring you painkillers." he told me. "nah.. I don't want them." I replied. I looked out of the window and admired the city. My room was up high enough, so I could see the tall buldings. A nurse came in with a bottle of pills, "You're brother told me you're in pain. Take these, while I check your scans and make sure you're alright." she smiled. I swollowed the pills and watched her look at a laptop screen, her face dropped. I tried to not look at her, and now say anything until she told me. "Uh... you have lung damage. Have you smoked before?" she asked. I froze. I'm way under age to smoke, and I could be arrested if they find out, "I need to know.. you won't be in trouble. but this affects your health." she said annoyed. "yes.." I mumbled. "what kind?" she asked. "uh weed..." i answered. She typed something into the computer. "You know you have lung damage from the water in the bathtub? like when you were lying down in the tub, you got a lot of water in them?" she asked me. "so what's wrong with my lungs?" I asked. "We need to run a test, I think you may have lung cancer. It's from the smoking and a little of the water, since it wasn't flushed out of your system imeditatley." she told me. My stomach dropped. Lung cancer? I bit my lip. "We can test later on today, I can get you in for a four-thirty test." she told me. I nodded. the nurse left the room and Taylor returned with Nash.(Listen to Wake Me Up by Ed Sheeran here if you want.) "What's wrong?" Taylor asked seeing my face. I shook my head, I cannot have lung cancer. "Courtney... tell me what's wrong. are you okay?" he asked. "Can I talk to you... by ourselves?" I asked. Nash nodded and left the room, "Taylor... the nurse thinks I have lung cancer." I bit my lip. "no.. she's wrong. you're perfectly fine Courtney." he said shaking his head. "No... she's not wrong. I'm being tested at four-thirty." I mumbled. He wrapped his arms around me. "if you do.. you'll be strong, promise?" he asked. I nodded. He brought Nash back in, and I was crying. Nash looked at my carefully. I closed my eyes, and felt someone pick up my arm. Nash pressed his lips over my stitches. All eleven on my arms, I cried harder as he lifted up my hospital gown to reveal the very long four scars on my stomach. He carefully put his soft lips on them, along with the thirteen on my thighs, and the fourteen on my legs. "thank you." I smiled through my tears. I opened my arms and Nash gave me a soft hug. For someone I don't remember, he is doing a lot for me. I really wish I could remember him, because there's something about him I like. Maybe it's the way he cares about me. "You're perfect." he whispered into my shoulder. "I wish I remembered you." I told him. "Courtney... there was nothing in the past. Now you know me, and I don't want you to remember the past, because you fought with Taylor and I don't want you to remember that." he said. I released him as he sat back on a hard chair. I looked into his eyes, and that's when I fell for him. The words I thought would never come out of my mouth, I like Nash Grier. 

Sorry for the short chapter. It's not the best I could do. But I listened to Wake Me Up by Ed Sheeran while writing this, and I liked the way it fit with the chapter. Haha. Well I'll update Saturday!
