~Anas POV~

I wake up to the front door slamming shut and stomping on the stairs. Cameron bursts through Carter's door and comes towards us. His face is red and the veins in his neck are popping out. The next thing you know, Cameron pulls Carter of the bed and starts punching him.

“Cameron stop!!!" I shriek as Carter pushes Cameron off of him. Carter stands up and I jump in between them just as Cameron swings. Then everything goes black.

I wake up to a pounding headache and my eye really hurts. I see tubes running out of my left arm and Cameron passed out in a chair. Carter is sitting on the edge of my bed, holding my hand and crying. They both look bruised and slightly bloody.  I squeeze his hand and he looks at me.

“Ana. I'm so sorry. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have let you get in the way. It's all my fault," Carter's voice cracks as he holds back more tears. I rub small circles on his hand and try to soothe him.

“Hey. It's not your fault. I'm fine and so are you. That's all that matters to me," I give him a small smile and wipe away his tears. He just shakes his head. “So when can I come home with you?" I ask.

Carter gives me a confused look. “What do yo mean ‘come home with you'?"

“I mean, I'm gonna need someone to take care of me and snuggle me while I'm healing," I smile at him and a small grin creeps on his face.

“The doctor said as soon as you wake up, we can go. Your test results came back normal,"

I try to get up, but my head pounds harder when i move. Carter stands up and holds out his hand. I grab his hand and he pulls me up. I start to fall over and he catches me. “Heh. Thanks," I glance up and stare into his chocolate brown eyes. We start to lean in when someone clears their throat.

“Oh. Hey Cam. I forgot you were here," I mutter, slightly blushing.

“I can tell," He glares.

“Look. Can we not fight? Do you remember what just happened? You knocked out my girlfriend," Carter shows Cameron no emotion what so ever.

“Yeah. About that. I just wanted to say I'm really sorry. It was an accident. I meant to hit Carter, but you jumped in the way. By the time I realized it was you, it was too late. Could you ever forgive me?" Cameron rambles.

“Of course. But you should know that you owe me a cotton candy frappé," I joke at him. He smiles and opens his arms. I carefully walk over to him and give him a hug.

I let go and look at them both. “Do you guys know where my clothes are? I don't want to walk around with my ass hanging out," We all laugh at my stupid joke and Carter hands me my clothes. Cameron walks out the door and Carter helps me put on my outfit.

We walk out of the room hand in hand and find Cameron. He's sitting in a lounge chair in the lobby. We grab him and check out at the reception desk. Carter drives Cameron home while I lay down in the back seat. Carter parks the car and opens the back door.

He picks me up bridal style and carries me into his bedroom. He gently lays me down on his bed. He enters the bathroom and comes back with a cup of water and two ibuprofen. I gladly accept the medication as Carter leaves again. I swallow the pills and chug half of the water.

Carter walks back in with an icepack in one hand and Divergent in other. He puts in Divergent and

lays next to me, pulling me closer to his chest. We fit together perfectly, like two puzzle pieces. We silently watch the movie and I hear a light snore behind me. I turn around and see Carter sleeping.
