I woke in a white room surrounded by the people I loved. My mom, Luke, Calum, Micheal, Ashton, and Mary. I gave a weak smile. I than looked at all of them individually.
My mom looked tired. She looked like she'd been up for days worrying about me. She had bags under her eyes and they were also red and puffy from crying I believed. She was a very strong person, and it makes a lot to make her cry.
Luke looked almost like my mom. But their was something different. He had a scrath above his right eyebrow and a bruise on his left cheek. I am assuming that Calum did that, and I would get him back for it later. He had dry tears on his cheeks. I really felt bad for him.
Calum had a sorta pissed off look to him. He looked like he was gonna punch somebody. Which, he did. He also had dried tears on his face. I really wanted to hug him, but also wanted to punch his senseless face.
Micheal had looked as tough as nails. Like he didn't cry in that period in which I was out. But, I knew he cried. Micheal would break, but not in public. I had asked Mary if he had ever cried in front of her, and she said only once in the 4 years they've been together. You would never see him cry.
Ashton would always show emotion, but he showed no emotion in that hospital room. His face was straight, his eyes weren't glossy, and he had dry cheeks. I was shocked to see him so lifeless. It also sorta scared me.
Mary, last but not least. She was taking harder than Luke, but not harder than my mom. She hadn't slept for days, her eyes are bloodshot, and her wrists were slashed. Wait, why were they cut? She said she had stop, but she must've relapsed. She was a very strong girl, but if something happens, she breaks.
I took a look at their faces one more time. I finally found a voice to say something.
"Hi..." My voice came out hoarsed.
"How are you feeling?" My mom was always the first to ask how things were going. I rubbed my chest.
"My lungs hurt."
"The doctor said that they would for a while. When the tubes disconnected, your lungs didn't know what to do, so they shut down." Luke said with frown on his face.
"So, they just...sorta gave up on me?" They all nodded.
"Kadee, you have to stay in the hospital for a few more days. They need to run a few more scans and make sure everything is okay." Mary butted in. Micheal wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed the top of her head.
"Will...will you guys still visit me?"
"Of course. Just because you are stuck in here for the next few days doesn't mean we won't visit you, silly goose," Calum said ruffling my hair. I smiled again. I glanced down at Mary's wrists again.
"Mary...why did you do that?" I point weakly at her wrists. Micheal looked down at her wrists and went wide-eyed. I guess he didn't know.
"I thought that I was gonna lose you, so this was my escape." She rolled up her sleeves and showed the numerous cuts on her wrists. Michael almost lost it.
"How long was I out?"
"4 days." Ashton spit.
"Mary, you did all that in 4 days!? I would understand 4 weeks, but not 4 days." Micheal shook his head at her.
"Excuse me a moment." Mary stormed out of the room with Micheal following behind her. I looked at the remaining people in the room.
"Calum did you do that to Luke?" He shamfully nodded his head.
"I thought you wouldn't do that anymore, Calum? What happened?"
"Luke called me in panic saying that you passed out and he didn't know what to do. I just gave him a beating when he came by my house."
"You let him do this to you, Luke?"
"I deserve it."
"Lucas Robert Hemmin-,"I stopped when I realized my mom was still in the room,"Mom, can we have a moment?" She nodded and left.
"Lucas Robert Hemmings, you do not deserve any abuse what-so-ever. The fact that you think you deserve the beating from one of your best friends hurts me. Please, don't think you deserve any sorta abuse anymore. Okay?"
"Okay."

I woke up in the same white room, just there were less people in it. There was only one. Luke. He was sleeping on the couch next to me. I looked at the wall clock. It read 7:30 a.m. I try to get up, but something is holding me back. I call the nurse to help me.
She undid all my tubes and lead me to the restroom. I decided to take a shower. I turned on the water and let the steam fog up the mirror. I started to peel my hospital gown off my body when there was a knock at the door.
"Yes?"
"Miss Richard, are you taking a shower?"
"Yes."
"When you are done, we brought breakfast for you and your boyfriend." I was about to say thank you when I realized what she said.
Boyfriend? Was Luke my boyfriend? More importantly, am I his girlfriend?
"Miss Richard?" I snap out of thoughts.
"Thank you."
"No problem. We will also need to run some tests when you're done with breakfast."
"Ok, thank you."

I got released a few days early because everything was fine. Luke had picked me up and he blared One Direction's new album.
"MIDNIGHT MEEEMMMORIES OH OH OH OH, BABY WHERE WE GO, NOW WERE SAYING NO JUST DO IT, DO IT, DO IT..."
I got tired after a few songs and stopped singing, but Luke didn't. He kept screaming and singing like he was a Sleeping with Sirens concert of something. I looked out the window and realized, we aren't going home.
"Luke," He turned down the music as soon as he heard me call his name,"where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
"Come on, Lukey,"I poked his cheek and he smiled,"tell me."
"Nope, its a surprise."
