~natalie's pov.~

   i got home from the hospital 9 days ago. i was so sick of being there. when i got home i was so happy to be able to be in my own bed and to cuddle up with my boyfriend. i love being able to call zach my boyfriend, i love him so much.

   right now i'm laying in bed watching netflix with zach, his arms wrapped around me and i have my head on his chest.

"how's my baby girl doing?" zach asked smiling.

"i'm doing good now that i'm in your arms." i say looking over at him smiling.

"good to hear princess." he says kissing my forehead.

"i love you herron." i say burying my head into his chest.

"i love you more smith." he says tightening his grip.

   this past week has been exhausting. my dad is frantically trying to help both my mom and i while getting emily to school and him to work. he has taken off most days but he has went to the office twice.

   zach and the boys have come by almost everyday. i love them all so much. they've helped me as much as possible considering they've had rehearsal every since the accident.

i haven't gotten out of bed unless to go to the bathroom or to the doctors. i've gone twice because they wanted to check up on me.

my ribs are fine and same with my arm but i still have to wear a boot and rest because of my concussion.

~lilly's pov.~

daniel and i walk into natalie's room hand in hand.

daniel opens the door and i go in to see natalie and zach cuddling watching friends.

"hey nat. i have to take off in an hour." i start.

"awe lilly i'm gonna miss you." natalie says starting to get up to give me a hug.

"well you don't need to miss me i'll be here in two weeks."

"ah can't wait!" natalie says hugging me.

"me neither. we'll have the week of our lives." i say starting to get excited.

"wanna watch some netflix with us before you have to go."

"we'd love to." and with that daniel and i lay next to natalie and zach.

"i'm gonna miss you baby girl." daniel said pulling me closer.

"ah i'm gonna miss you too." i say resting my head on his chest.

"you two we are trying to watch a show!" natalie laughs.

"sorry." i say laughing cuddling up to daniel.

~zach's pov.~

daniel took lilly to the air port 2 hours ago and now natalie and i are eating dinner at the wdw house with the boys.

"so how have you been feeling?" jack asks nat.

"i've been as good as i can considering i nearly died." i say laughing.

"yeah death can be a tiring thing." corbyn says laughing.

"oh shut up corbyn you wouldn't know." natalie says smiling. her smile is so perfect, i missed it.

"i would. it kills me every day to see your face." daniel says to natalie laughing.

"well maybe that's the reason i almost died. i stared at you too long." natalie says as me and the boys laugh.

"oh shut up. there's a reason lilly likes me." daniel said rubbing a hand through his hair.

"yeah, yeah because you're famous." jack laughs.

"what about my great personality?" daniel asks.

"yeah your great personality is definitely it." jonah laughs.

"yeah or the 700 thousand followers he has." i say laughing.

"or the 2 eps you guys have." natalie says.

"come on guys it's not the fame." corbyn says.

"that's right!" daniel says.

"it's the fact she gets to hangout with me." corbyn adds slicking back his hair.

"oh guys shut up its probably to make her ex jealous." natalie says smiling.

"yeah yeah. wait what?! noo!" daniel argues.

we joked around with each other for awhile untill we ended up watching white chicks and sitting on the couch.

right now we are watching the do over laughing our asses off.

i look at natalie in my arms smiling and laughing. it's so good to see her happy. she's been through a lot lately and she needs sometime to relax and be happy.

~natalie's pov.~

right now i'm in zach's arms watching the do over with the guys. it feels so good to get out of the house.

i can tell zach's looking at me smiling. i love this boy so much. he's been with me through a lot and i couldn't be more thankful to have him in my life. he's so perfect and handsome.

eventually we all drift off to sleep on one another.
