*Important Authors Note At The End*

Ashley

I woke up in a white room. My head was pounding and I couldn't remember what happened. The last thing I recalled was falling asleep on the couch next to Hayes after we got home from the long drive from Disneyland. All I remember was feeling happy for Sam because she finally found a guy that treated her well and loved her as much as she loved him.

I heard movement to my right and tried to turn my head to see but I felt a sharp pain in my neck instead. I had no clue what was going on. "Oh good your awake. Do you remember anything that's happened? Any idea why your here?" a doctor said coming into view in front of my bed. I then realized I was in a hospital. I didn't know why. I tried to speak but my throat was too dry and I had no voice.

The doctor left for a minute and returned carrying a cup if water. He walked over to my left side and handed me the plastic cup. As I sipped the cold liquid I immediately felt better. I looked back at the doctor and answered his previous question, "I have no idea why I'm here. Can you explain? or get someone who can." I asked him curious as to what happened to me.

I then wondered about Hayes and Nash and Sam and Cameron. Were my friends ok? was I the only one injured? I had to make sure they were fine. "I don't know exactly what happened but judging by your wounds we found out you were beaten. You have a broken leg and shoulder. You also have a mild concussion and stitching in your neck and wrist. It is actually surprising this person didn't beat you to death." The doctor explained. Who the fuck beat me? I couldn't remember a thing and I didn't know whether that was good or bad. It can be good because then if it was someone close to me I will never know and won't feel betrayal and heartbreak. It is bad because I want to get revenge on that bitch.

"Are my friends ok? Were they beat too? They are Hayes Grier, Sam Jones, Cameron Dallas and Nash Grier." I asked suddenly listing their names. I really needed to know my friends were ok, especially Hayes and Sam. I had strong feeling towards Hayes and Sam has been my best friend through everything. I don't know what I would do without either of them.

"Your friends Sam and Cameron are absolutely fine. They weren't there at the time of the accident. They've visited everyday you've been here and one of the nurses finally convinced them to go rest for a little while. You've been asleep for almost five days and they just left last night." The doctor said cautiously. I can understand because if someone normal got told they were asleep for 5 days they'd be worried but I do that everyday anyways so I wasn't concerned.

"What about Nash and Hayes. Are they ok?" I asked frantically. I could not lose Hayes. Not after I just got him back.

"Unfortunately, your two friends experienced much worse wounds than you did. Nash has many broken bones down his right side and open gashes. He is still sleeping it off and is to be expected to wake up soon. He should be fine after a couple weeks here doing some physical therapy." He said obviously avoiding Hayes' situation. I looked at him with pleading eyes, wishing he would just tell me already.

"And what about Hayes? Is ok as well? please tell me doctor I need to know!" I said raising my voice scared of what he might say next.

"Your friend Hayes, he isn't doing good. He broke lots of bones, much like his brother, and got stabbed a few times as well. Unlike you or Nash, Hayes is experiencing major head trauma and isn't responding correctly to the treatments. His parents are believed to arrive today to sign the papers saying he can go into surgery. We can't do anything until we get that ok." I couldn't believe it. He couldn't do this to me. Why him? not that I didn't like Nash, but I loved Hayes. He is my everything and I can't stand him not being around. I needed him like the flowers need the sun.

Just then a nurse walked in and made us aware that Sam and Cameron were on their way here to check up in me again. I felt kind of guilty because they've been here all week basically and as soon as they leave I wake up. And now when they finally get to rest they are called to come back. But either way, I was glad my best friend will be around at my lowest point.

After that the doctor left to give me some time alone and let this all sink in. I cried and cried. I could not give up on him. He was my world and I will do anything to make sure he's ok. But this is out of my control. I can't just heal him if he's already dying. And that's the saddest feeling one will ever encounter. That you can't do anything about it, just sit and wait.

About 30 minutes later Sam and Cameron came rushing into my room, Sam running to me and crushing me in a hug. I cried some more into her shoulder and she tried to calm me down by whispering good things in my ear to get my hopes up a little. She told me he wasn't dead just unconscious and after the surgery he should be fine. I just had a hard time believing her. We sat there the rest of the day watching tv.

I really wanted to know what happened so I figured I'd ask Sam and see if she knows anything."Do you know what happened?" I asked afraid of the answer.

"I have no clue. Someone broke into the Dallas' house and just started beating you guys. Emma got raped but not injured so she's home "traumatized" and you guys are here. I guess there were 3 guys. The one who took Emma, the one who beat up Hayes, and the one who beat up Nash and you. I guess he just went for you but Nash tried to save you. I guess he didn't know that his brother was also getting attacked. Anyways, you got a few broken bones and I guess they threatened to just slit your wrist and let you bleed out but then they thought it'd be better if they slit your jugular vein. Right as they were about to it, Nash tackled the man and you passed out on the floor. Then Nash got his ass kicked and the whole time Hayes was getting tortured." She finished finally. I don't know how she knew all this if she wasn't there. As if she was reading my mind she explained more. "This was gathered by what all the neighbors thought had happened. Cam and I were at the park down the road. He asked me out on a date but obviously we didn't really get to that yet." She said with a laugh to try to lighten the mood.

"What if he doesn't make it?" I questioned unsure what to feel. I didn't want to admit that he might not be strong enough, but the reality of the situation is tough and I don't know if any of us are going to be able to handle it.

"We can't just sit here and say 'what if's' it'll just get us more upset. If you just focus on the good then that's what's going to happen."

Unfortunately what Sam said that night wasn't true. Because no matter what you do, you can't change someone's destiny. And in reality things are hard, because the world is terrible and cruel. That's why we chose to live in our own little perfect fantasies.

Ok so I decided that I was going to make a sequel to this and that I will start soon. It will be called Terrible Reality and I will start it probably tomorrow but I'm not sure yet.
