Only for Him.

She's Awake. Now What?

~1 week later~

Jordan's POV
She's slowly recovering, she's slowly becoming my happy Britt again. She remembers who Haiden is, which is one of the best things that's happened. He's been nonstop at her side since she's woken up. Aydan hasn't been back since that afternoon. She has small glimpses of memories with me but she's not too sure yet. Their parents are still on the "trip" and haven't called once. Sometimes I wonder if life would be better for the both of them if they were away from their parents, but who am I to judge. I haven't seen either of my parents in years.

"Britt? How are you feeling today?" Haiden brings me out of my thoughts when he walks in.

"Shh. She's been asleep all day. I don't want to wake her, the doctor said to just make sure she's okay by gently tickling her feet every hour" I try to fill him in slightly of what the doctor said this morning when I woke up. Yeah, I still haven't gone home. I've been here all week with no change. I sometimes talk the nurses into letting me sneak into the showers for 15 minutes but it depends on what staff is on. I'm just waiting for her to remember me. I miss my Britt.

"Has she shown any signs of the amnesia going away?"

"None besides remembering you, and slight memories of me. She doesn't even remember your parents Haiden." Now I just think it's sad that she can't even remember her own parents, but I mean if my parents were only in my life when it was good for them I would try my hardest to forget them too.

"Haiden?" We hear her quiet voice over our own surprisingly.

"Yes sweetie? What's up?" He's been the caring figure for her for too long now.

"I remember more. I was dreaming. I remember you Jordan. I remember a lot." I felt my heart leap, and then drop when she said a lot. Could she remember Aydan? If so what was she thinking.

"What do you remember sunshine?" I just have to ask. Haiden is giving me a stern look as I ask but I don't care. I need to know.

"Everything Jordan. Where is Aydan?" She looks between Haiden and me curiously. I felt my heart drop at those three words.

"Um. He left after Jordan came up. After what hap-" I threw a water bottle at Haiden, it hit him right in the ribs.

"Sorry Haiden I was trying to shake it up, it slipped" I glare very strongly at him from the other side of the room.

"Until what happened Jordan?" She looked at me with her stupid squinted accusing eyes. The look alone was enough to get anything out of me.

"Until I confessed how I felt about you to him, until I became very protective over you when I thought you were dead because of that idiots choices. Because I told him I was in love with you."

Britt's POV

In love with me? Jordan's been my best friend for the last 11 years. Now don't get me wrong, I've felt a lot for Jordan. He's been by my side forever, but he's not boyfriend material. He's the kind of guy to just hang out with a girl to get in her pants and move on. I don't want to be another one of his conquests, especially because I don't want to lose my best friend.

"Britt please say something." He breaks me out of my thoughts abruptly. What do I say? What can I say?

"I don't know Jordan, can you go for a few minutes? I need to talk with Haiden." I just need him out of here. The tension is hurting my head. He got out of the chair he was sitting on next to me and walked out, but not before turning around and looking right into my eyes.

"Britt it's different with you." That was all he said before he walked out shutting the door behind him.

"Is it true?" I'm looking Haiden dead in the eyes trying not to cry. "Does he actually love me?"

"Britt I'm not the one you need to be asking that. I don't think you need to be worried about that right now. Why don't we make sure you're doing okay and I'll make sure neither boy comes back until you're being released. Okay?"

He always knew how to properly calm me down. I never had a doubt in my mind when it came to talking to Haiden. He knew absolutely everything there was to know about me, he felt everything I felt.

"Okay. Just make sure you don't leave me please? I need at least one constant thing I love here." I felt so lonely in here. Even with Jordan right by me. I still felt as alone as ever.

"I'm not going anywhere Britt. Ever. I'm not our parents." That hit a real sore spot for me. Our parents were people I was supposed to look up to, but with them never there I couldn't really see what I was supposed to look up to. When Sarah died my family stopped being a family.

"How are you doing Haiden? I'm sorry for scaring you like she did." I can't hold it in anymore. I start bawling. We lost Sarah 4 years ago now, and it was exactly how he almost lost me. Sarah was our older sister, she was the one who was there for us no matter what. She stepped up as a mom when our mom wasn't there. It was pouring down rain, and she was leaving her boyfriend's house. We still run into him at events and the store and sometimes Danny's but we just exchange glances never a word spoken. We don't blame him, but he blames himself. They were fighting and she left in a rush. It was the last time anyone saw her. We found her car crashed off the side of Denver's turn. Nobody believed us when we said we knew, but we did. We had the aching feeling in all of our stomachs. She was gone. They found her body off the shore of the creek that runs through our town. Ever since that night we haven't ever been close, it's been Haiden and I, and my parents. They never spend 5 consecutive days at home. They're always traveling, it just hurts that they wouldn't come up when I was hurt.

"Britt sweetie calm down, you're okay. We're both okay. It's still you and I against the world forever." He pulls me close to his chest and holds me while rocking back and forth on the bed. I hear the door open and look up over his shoulder. Haiden heard it too and turned around.

"Aydan, I told you not to come back here until after she was released." Haiden was looking at him with a weary look.

"Look man, I just need to talk with her" Wow was he drunk, he was stumbling in and slurring every word.

"Aydan it's time for you to go." My brother got into his protective stance. I could hear my heart machine going crazy. Haiden started to advance towards Aydan to show him out. All I heard was the door slam against the wall and the sound of knuckles cracking. I couldn't look up at them. I knew one of them was hurt and I didn't want to accept that it was him. I knew I'd look over and Haiden would be on the ground. What I didn't expect was what I actually saw. Jordan had Aydan pinned against the wall and had punched the door next to him. I looked back down as the hospital security came in to detain both of the most important boys in my life. Right before they were completely removed, I didn't know what came over me but I had to shout it.

"Jordan! I love you too!" It slipped out as he was walking with the guard. I saw his eyes light up, but I also saw Aydan's eyes dim. I couldn't fake my love for him anymore. I needed what my heart wanted, and that was Jordan. I knew my heart was only for him.
