~Shawn's POV~

"Dude I love this bucket hat. I want it." Matt turns around and points at a blue bucket hat with penguins. Before I can even answer he screams, "I LOVE PENGUINS ARHHHGG."

"Get them. I'm going to get these swim bottoms." I lift up two pairs. One is red and grey striped and the other one is light blue.

I walk up to the cashier behind Matt. "Hi."

"Just these?" The young girl at the register doesn't look up.

"Yup. That will do it."

She rings both of them up. "That will be $58.72."

I hand the girl my credit card and she looks up then freezes. "Sh-Shawn?"

"Yes that's me." I chuckle. Her name tag reads Angela.

"I'm such a huge fan! This is insane." She comes around the desk and gives me a hug. "I love you Shawn."

"I love you too Angela."

"How do you know my name?" She looks up at me then stumbles like she is about to fall over.

"Your name tag." I point at it.

"Matt, Shawn!" I hear Snow tell from outside. "Guys we have to leave. Jess cut her leg on some glass and it looks bad. We're taking her to the hospital."

"Ok well I will ring you up. Can I get a picture real quick?" She pulls out her phone.

"Obviously." I snap a picture with her phone then she quickly slides my card and hands me a receipt.

"Please remember me." She looks up and smiles.

"Of course I will." I smirk at her then run out of the door.

Snow comes running up to me and Matt. "Hurry guys we have to take her quickly. It's worse then we thought."

I turn to Matt. "I can just go and make sure everything is alright if you want to catch a ride back to the hotel with Taylor."

"No I'm coming." He has an intense look on his face.

"Ok. Alright." I climb into the front seat and look back. Jess has her leg covered in a red bandage and had it propped up. Matt sits next to her and carefully lifts her head up to rest on his chest.

"There is a hospital right around the corner, luckily. Snow backs out of the parking space. I can't help but see Matt out of the corner of my eye giving Jess a quick kiss on the corner of her lip.

"Where's Nikki?" I blurt out.

"She went with Taylor." Snow looks intently at the road. "She wanted to make sure that is wasn't too crowded."

"Oh." Through all of this, all I am worrying about is Nikki and Taylor being together.

~Jess's POV~

I feel really out of it at the moment. My leg doesn't hurt anymore but my head is throbbing and every small noise sends an echo through my head.

I shift slightly to my right and see a blurry figure open the car door. I make out Matt's face as he lifts my head and rests it on his chest.

Everyone thinks that I must have lost a lot of blood. What they don't know is I may have taken a hit earlier. I haven't done it in so long that my body probably isn't used to it and well, I don't remember if I did or not.

Matt leans in and kisses the corner of my lip while he rubs my back. Shawn says something but I can't make out what it is. My head throbs like crazy. I slowly let my eyelids shut and drift off to sleep.
