              Cata's POV
      I wake and look around me. Guilt rushes over me as I remember what happened last night. After Draven and I had sex we went back to his place and fell asleep as if it was perfectly fine. I also remember calling Noah and telling him I was sick and in the hospital, but he couldn't come cause he's not family.
     My body is pressed against Draven, his arms wrapped protectively around me. I might feel guilt for doing this to Noah, but no regrets. I find myself tracing the lines of his muscles and spine. His eyes slowly open and look into mine.
    A smile forces its way to my face despite the urge to fight it. "I'm surprised your still here," he says. So am I. Last night was supposed to help me let go. I wasn't supposed to actually feel anything towards him.
    "I shouldn't be. What happened was stupid and immature," I say. I'm saying this, but I diny want to move away from him. He shifts to get up but I wrap my arms around his waist,  laying head in his chest. "Not yet."
   "Please don't play with my feelings," he says. I look up at him with a small smile.
   "I'm not. Your just really warm," I tell him. He smirks and pulls me closer. My phone goes off and Noah's caller ID comes up. Reaching over, I grab it and answer.
    "When do you get to come back from the hospital?" He asks. I close my eyes tightly and groan.
    "As soon as I can," I tell him. He starts saying something, but I hang up and look at Draven. "This was a terrible thing to do," I say mostly to myself.
    "You should be with him," he says. "Not some gang leader that's a recovering heroine addict," he says. I sit sit up and shake my head at him.
   "You think that's all you are? Just some guy with a bed rep?" I ask. He stays quiet. "Your so much more. And I can't stop loving you." He site up and kisses me. I pull back. "But I am in a relationship, meaning that this can't happen."
     "Yeah," he says and gets up. I stand as well and fix my clothes. "Just know, I'll always love you." With that he puts the ring back in my hand. "I'm going to marry you. I'm not breaking that promise."
    ×××××
        Noah wraps his arms around me as I sit next to him on my parents couch. This feels so wrong. I shouldn't of put the ring back on, that's like making the same promise. Maybe that's why I did, cause that's what I want.
     "You feeling a little better?" He asks. I nod and bury my head in the crook of his neck. I'm expecting to smell metal, sweat, and cologne, but its just lotion. Even after one night I'm used to Draven's scent again. "You look like you've seen a ghost."
    "I feel like I've been possessed by one."
    ××××××
      The needle falls out of my arm as I fall to the ground. My heart is beating fast and I can't focus on anything. It looks like the room is spinning. Trying to get up, I groan, but fall when darkness overwhelms me.

              Cata's POV
     I answer my moms phone when I see it's Tori. "Its Cata," I answer, making myself sound like I have a sore throat. That not the part of me that's sore. Tori"s soft cries is all I can hear from the other end.
    "Cata, you need to get to the hospital," she says. I look around nervously. "It-it's Draven. He might have overdosed."
     ×××××
      My heart feels like its going to stop beating. I've ran through those hospital doors so many times before but I'm never been this nervous. My head hurts from thinking the worse and my bod hurts from shaking so much on the ride here.
    "Where is he?" I ask Tori. Someone rests their hands on my shoulders. Spinning around I see a shortish women with great hair that has black streaks in it still. The eye color matches Draven's, letting me know who she is. "Mrs.Century?" She nods.
    "I wish we didn't meet like this," she says with a shakey, nervous laugh. "The doctors said their doing all they can. Just, can you stay?" She says. I nod and sit down in one of the chairs. She gives me a sweet smile and walks back to her husband.
     Noah sits down next to me, looking extremely uncomfortable. I'm not sure if he knows that Draven is my ex, I've never talked to him about it and I never told him that Draven was my ex.
     "Listen, I'm sure he'll be fine," he tells me. I glare at him.
   "I'll believe that when a doctor says it." His eyes widen at my snappiness. I don't even bother to feel sorry for that.
    ×××××
    The doors open and a doctor walks in. Many people look up hopes it's for them. "Century," he says. My chest grows tighter and tighter as I see Draven's parents walk over and talk to him. Tori and I stand and go over to them.
    "He's okay," his step dad says. I sigh and give a small smile. "We're gonna go see him to make sure he's okay. After awhile, we'll come and get you if he's okay with that."
        ×××××
       Draven's mom walks directly towards me as she comes into the waiting room. I snap my head off from Noah's shoulder. "He wants to see you," she says. Tori comes in with her mascara smeared under her eyes. I nod and get up to follow her into the room. The hallways are so cold.
    We get to the room and slowly walk in. My eyes immediately find Draven. His skin is slightly pale, his eyes are glazed over, and his hands are shaking. I rush over and place my bag in the seat next to him.
    I hug him tightly, letting the tears I've been fighting back fall. His hands brush my hair softly as I cry into his neck. "Why would you do this?" The door is now shut and his Mon has left the room.
    "I just needed it one more time. I didn't mean to cause this," he tells me. Its goof to know he wasn't trying to kill himself. I kiss his cheek.
   "Don't you ever do that again. If you need to talk, you've got me, always. You know that," I tell him. He squeezes my​ hand.
     "I love you," he sighs.
     "I love you too."
