The squad returned to Florida during all the commotion, completely oblivious to the stuff happening.
They parted and returned to their respectable homes.
Autumn was browsing her social media before checking her DM's.

heyDespite her confusion, Autumn replied to the direct message.
She had loved them for a while now and couldn't believe she was texting - wait..
Which one was she even texting?

Cierra's P.O.V
I sat on the bench next to her room, fingers folded together.
Tears stained my cheeks from the emotional rollercoaster that was today.
Earlier this morning, Avalon's heart had failed and she needed to have it restarted. That alone was enough to ruin my day.
But when it happened again juat ahout twenty minutes ago, I was stressed beyond belief.
No matter how much they tried, neither Kelly nor Aiden could get me to leave.
I didn't want her to leave us when I was gone.
"I'm sorry Miss but only family and close f-"
The receptionist was cut off by a familiar voice, seemingly angered.
"I am her fucking girlfriend!" The voice exclaimed.
Billie.
"Ma'am I'm going to have to ask you to-"
"Let her in." I interrupted the woman this time, taking everyone by surprise.
Once her eyes landed on me, she knew something was up.
"Is she okay!?"
"I don't know." I responded, feeling extremely numb.
"What do you mean you don't know! You were here!" She started to get angrier, her face turning red.
"Her heart failed.. twice." I mumbled.
No matter how quiet I tried to be, Billie had heard me.
She looked mortified. Her palm covered her mouth and her eyes welled up with tears.
"I need to see her." She said sternly.
She attempted to walk around me and I placed my arm out to block her.
"They are still in there. Making sure she is stable. They will tell us when you can enter." I stopped her.
I could tell Billie wanted to bust the door down but knew she couldn't.
She sank into a nearby chair, burying her face in her palms.
"Please tell me this is a dream." She said, voice barely above a whisper. "Please tell me she didn't get hit."My silence told her everything she needed to know.
Avalon's door opened to reveal the doctor from before - Dr. Henderson.
He wore a calm expression, cooling my nerves but not by much.
"How is she?" I asked.
Billie perked up at the new visitor, extremely invested in his words.
"She's stable."
That was all the confirmation Billie needed and she quickly rushed into the room to see her.
"Oh thank God." I breathed out.
I followed after Billie, accompanied by another girl.
Who is this?
Upon entering the room, I saw Avalon sitting there, eyes barely open.
She smiled weakly at me.
"What exactly happened?" She asked slowly.
"You got hit baby. You're safe now though." Billie cooed.
"I guess I can say I'm back bitches?" Ava asked hesitantly.
The room erupted with laughter and as she laughed, she winced and shifted uncomfortably.
"Take it easy." I warned.
Avalon scanned the room before her eyes landed on the mysterious visitor. Her eyes instantly darkened and her grip on Billie's hand tightened.
It was almost...
Protective?
Was Avalon jealous?
I laughed to not only myself, but Avalon. She is worried about Billie and her? No no no.
I see the way Billie looks at her.
The same way Aiden looks at Bianca.
And the way Finneas looks at... Me..
Love.
My eyes widened at the prospect.
Do I love him?
"I uh gotta go! Be back soon!" I kissed Avalon's cheek and rushed out of the building quickly.
I had to tell him.
