Skylar's POV

"He's in surgery right now. But he will be put in this room," She informs me. I nod as I try to slow my breathing. "We're going to keep you overnight to make sure your head is ok," she says. I nod as I turn on the TV trying to get my mind off of Joey. After what feels like forever, the nurses bring him in. "Is he ok?" I ask sitting up. They nod which makes me smile. "He should be awake soon," One nurse informs me. "Can I lay on the bed with him?" I ask. She nods and helps me move the IV thing with me. I lay down next to Joey and hug him tightly. "I'm so glad you're ok," I whisper hugging him. I cuddle with him for what feels like forever until I finally fall asleep. I'm woken to movement next to me. "Joey?" I open my eyes to see him smiling at me. I hug him around his neck as he hugs around my waist. "I'm so glad you're ok," I sigh kissing his cheek. He smiles back at me and places his lips on mine. I could taste blood as he did this. I pull away and rub my finger over his lip. "You shouldn't have pushed me out if the way," I sigh running my fingers through his hair. "I would do anything for you," He sighs cuddling into my neck. "I'm ending things with Blake," I tell him. He smiles. "But we have to keep us on the down low for a while. I don't need to be called a slut on top of everything I'm being called because of the accident," I sigh. He looks at me confused. "I'm being called names because you jumped in front of a car for me," I inform him. "Names like?" He asks. I shake my head, not wanting to repeat what I read. He hugs me tighter, which wasn't tight because of the fact he just got hit by a car. "You don't deserve that," He sighs kissing my cheek. "I do though," I whisper. He looks at me with wide eyes, probably at the fact that I think I deserve it. And honestly, I do. I should have been watching out for the car, I should have gotten hit. He shouldn't have to go through any of it. "You don't. Sky," He whispers, his eyes glazed with tears. Looking at him makes my eyes tear up. "God don't cry," I sigh hugging him. He smiles and hugs me back. There's a familiar voice from the doorway and my heart stops.
