"Park! Hurry!" Jason yelled at Mitch, who was driving around the hospital car park frantically. The rest of the boys were behind them, looking for a place to park as well.

In the end, they had to park very far back, but it was better than nothing. Everyone got out of the cars and ran towards the entrance. People in the hospital stared at them as they ran through the doors and up to the reception desk.

"Savannah Cooksey! Which room?!" Jason said, almost yelling in a panic.

The plump woman at the desk just stared at him, as if he had two heads. She just shook her head, her curly grey bob shaking around as she typed the name into the computer. "Room 85-" and before the lady could finish, they had all run off to find the room.

"Wrong way! Dammit Mitch!" Jerome sighed as he, Ian and Mitch walked down a different corridor. "Sorry. The sign pointed this way!"

"At least we all split up..." Ian mumbled sarcastically. In the panic, people just scurried off. Jerome, Mitch and Ian were together. Jason and Ty were a different group. Zoe ran off on her own and Adam and Quentin went into the elevator, insisting the room was upstairs.

"Here! A little map!" Ty said and motioned for Jason to come over. The map was complex, and all the writing was small. "Our Gunnar's would be useful now, huh?" Jason joked to break the tension.

"There!" Ty exclaimed and pointed to the small Room 85 on the map. It wasn't too far away, but lots of little corridors to confuse them.

"45? How did I get here?" Zoe sighed out of frustration. She walked over to the signs, Rooms 60-80 were to the left. Rooms 90-100 to the right. "Useful." The blonde groaned.

"Guess it's not upstairs. We're getting into the triple digits..." Quentin sighed. Adam simply shrugged and walked towards the elevator. "Back to level one."

"Found it!" Jason smiled and didn't even hesitate to throw the doors open.

Savannah laid on the bed, her body beaten and broken, a few stitches scattered over her body. Jason froze, Ty right behind him. "It's ok Jason. Go ahead." Ty smiled and put his hand on his friends shoulder. Jason managed to make his way over to her, and when he got close to her, Savannah stirred and her eyes opened.

"Jason!"

The next to arrive was Mitch and Ian, they had lost Jerome on the way. Ty told them to call the others and try to get them to the room.

Eventually, everyone found the room. They all got chairs and sat around her bed, apart from Jason, who sat on her bed with her.

"Jesus Christ guys! I have really missed you! Speaking of, where the fuck am I?" Savannah asked.

"Virginia!" Adam laughed.

"I knew we weren't in LA anymore. No snow!" She smiled.

"Savannah, we need to get you out of here." Zoe said.

"Please! The food sucks!"

As they all talked, Jason traced all of her cuts and stitches, occasionally kissing her cheek, and every time he did, Savannah would blush.

"Excuse me, but why are you all in here? It's past the visiting hours." Everyone swung around to face the nurse. She was very short, long brown hair to match her light blue eyes and pale skin. She would've been pretty is she didn't have the disgusted look on her face. She pointed to the clock and it read "9:37"

"Where are we staying?" Quentin asked, and he raised a good point. It wasn't like they had lots of friends in Virginia.

"I don't care where you are staying, but it can't be here." The nurse snapped. Zoe grimaced at her rudeness.

The group stood up and said goodbye to Savi, giving hugs and kisses on the cheek. Everyone promised to visit tomorrow morning. But Jason wouldn't leave.

"Seriously Jason. You can visit me tomorrow and get me out of here, it's ok." Savannah giggled and kissed his cheek. "But, I don't want to leave..." He frowned.

"Can you make an exception, Julie?" Savannah asked the nurse, knowing her name.

'Julie' sighed and rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I'm done dealing with this." She threw up her hands in defeat and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Zoe watched the nurse leave, without Jason. "I guess he's staying?"

All of their car doors were open, everyone was half in their cars so they could all talk. It was about 10 o'clock by now, it was very dark and all the stars were out. Their only light was from the moon and the flickering street lamps. Their cars were turned on and Zoe's playlist of R5 songs played quietly in the background.

"Really? None of us have friends here?" Ian asked. It was kind of surprising.

Adam scrolled through his phone, trying to find someone in his contacts list who lived in Virginia.

"I can't believe this. Are we going to have to sleep in our cars?" Jerome asked. "That's gonna suck..." Mitch said, his arm around Zoe's shoulder.

"Found someone!" Adam exclaimed and held up his phone. "Dakota!"

"Oh yea! Dakota! Wait, he lives here?" Quentin asked Adam. Adam was the only one who kept contact with Dakota. After the... Accident.

"Yeah! He never liked LA, remember?" Adam told him, then dialed Dakota's number.

"Who's Dakota?" Zoe asked, hoping to actually get an answer this time.

"He's an old and trusted friend. We've known him for a long time." Mitch smiled.

"He said we can stay!" Adam smiled and got into the drivers seat.

"To Dakota's!" Mitch smiled and everyone cheered as they drove off.
