I started regaining consciousness, and I saw a bright light even though my eyes were still closed. I opened them, immediately blinded by the light. Slowly, I regained my eye sight, and looked over to the right side of my hospital bed to see my mom by the door on the phone with somebody.

"M-mom?" I asked, groggily.

My mom gasped. "I got to go, she's awake!"

She practically ran over to my bed, and gave me a hug, causing me to yelp. She backed away, knowing why I was in pain.

"Oh! Honey, i'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"D-don't worry a-about it, i'm fine." I cut her off.

She nodded, and sat down on the chair next to my bed. There was an awkward silence for awhile, before I decided to speak up.

"H-how did y-you k-know that I w-was missing?"

"Because you never texted me after that one text. I texted and called you thousands of times, and I got really concerned. After about a couple months of you being missing, the news wanted me to do an interview, some of which was actually on the news. On there, I basically said-"

"If I was l-listening, then y-you w-would find me, and that you l-loved me." I finished.

She looked at me, dumbfounded.

"You saw it?! How?!"

"Well, B-brendon wanted a second c-chance, so I gave it to him, because I-I didn't want him to abuse m-me more. And t-then when I went to the l-living room, you were on t-the news." My eyes brimmed with tears.

"It's okay, nobody is going to hurt you anymore." She soothed, and held my hand, rubbing circles on the back of it.

We talked about random things, mostly to get my mind off of everything. But all of a sudden, my mind clicked. Where's Dallon?

"Where's Dallon?! Where is he?!" I asked frantically, trying to get up. I screamed in agony and curled up the best I could.

Mom ran out of the room, searching for a doctor, as I sobbed. Everything hurt, and I didn't know what the doctors did to me. I was scared out of my mind. I just wanted to see Dallon. I haven't seen him in what feels like forever.

"Scarlet? What's wrong hun? What hurts?" The doctor rushed in, and stood by my bed.

"E-everything." I whimpered.

She checked everything. My heart monitor, stitches, bruising. 

"Well, everything seems to be normal. I'm going to send in your actual doctor to give you some more pain meds." She started walking out.

"Wait!"

"Hmm?" She hummed in response.

"Where's Dallon? Is he okay?"

She contemplated on telling me for a few seconds, but continued.

"He should be fine. He just had surgery to fix up that bullet wound, and he's expected to recover."

"When can I see him?"

"Maybe tomorrow if both of you feel up to it. I can ask him if you want me to?" I nodded, and she left.

The rest of the day was okay. Mom came back in, followed by my doctor, who gave me stronger pain meds. The other doctor came back a little while later and told me that Dallon really wanted to see me as well, so we planned on doing that tomorrow. I was super excited! 

The thing is, I don't know what we are. Are we friends? Best friends? Boyfriend and girlfriend? I have no clue. I guess i'm just gonna have to ask him that tomorrow.
