A car comes in speeding on Charlie's side, the world slows down

I wake up in a bed, I look around, seeing my hands having IV's inside of me, my body was stiff. I had a head ache, I look next to me to see Tom. He look up at me, as I try to sit up he immediately stops me. "Don't move too much"

Silence

   "I'm sorry." He stares at me confused at my apology. "It's your wedding you should be on your honey moon with your newly wife, but here you are next to me."

   "It's not your fault, you didn't plan this. In fact I'm not even really with Zendaya."

"Wait.. what?"

"Well her management made me be with her for fame, but she thinks she has to act like that around everywhere. There were cameras at the wedding."

"So.. this is awkward, huh?"

"Are you actually with Charlie?" I hesitate to answer his question. "Yes or no, it's simple"

"Yes, I am.. but it's not my fault that I actually thought you two were dating... plus you left me during those moments so don't even blame me, Tom." He traces his finger across my eyebrow.

"It's funny, now you'll look exactly like him with your eyebrow." He says, he stands up kissing me, for a quick second before he stands up leaving. I lay there in shock, all the information I got, then he had kissed me. I missed how he felt. How he would come over after school, how we would snuggle, how he confessed about his messed up love life. He hurt me so much yet I miss him. I look over to the window seeing my reflection. Seeing the eyebrow, how I had a moon scar on my eyebrow. I loved Charlie but not being with Tom also hurt me. The doctor soon walks in, and gives me a check up. Taking out some of the chords connecting to my body.

"Is Charlie okay?" I ask

"As far as we know yes.." silenced filled the room. I hear the door open and I look up to see Harrison. He gives me a warm smile, in which I return. The doctor leaves, leaving Haz and I alone.

"Sorry I wasn't there" Harrison apologizes.

"It's not your fault, it's mine, I got the threat and ignored it."

"No, stop blaming yourself, you couldn't have stopped that from happening."

"I miss him, Haz. I miss Tom. I don't want to hurt Charlie because he's done so much for me and just disappointing him like that."

"What would Charlie like, for you to be in a happy state or to feel trapped with him?" I stay silent. "To be happy so just go for it, if he doesn't like it than he isn't the one Ellie." I sit up hugging Haz.

1 week later

Charlie and I were discharged from the hospital 4 days ago, he had understood my life choices and we were still the best of friends. I started staying at my house with Harrison.

In the morning

I wake up, stretching and yawning. I sit up, opening my window, that was right next to my bed. I had 4 windows, 2 on each wall since there were only 2 outer walls. I head to the bathroom, brushing my teeth. I then go downstairs and make myself a lunch. Last night Haz had gone out and got himself in a mess in the bed, with the after effect of being hung over. I make an omelet, but then when I almost sit down I hear a knock on the door. I head over to open it and see Tom. "Hey" He spoke with a raspy voice.

"Hi, come in." I open the door wider for him to enter. He comes in and I go to sit down on the chair that was in front of the island. He sits next to me. "So did you need something, or if you wanted to see Haz he is dead asleep."

"Actually I came to see you, Harrison told me about everything about you and Charlie." My smile drops, turning into a frown. "And honestly, I want to go on a date with you. I mean I haven't felt any different than you"

"Are you serious or are you messing with my head?"

"What does it seem like Ellie."

"Well I want to believe it's the truth."

"God you are so freaking stubborn. I love you Ellie don't think I'm lying this time. Cause I really won't hurt you this time cause I've changed" as soon as he stops talking I pull him into a kiss. His hands go to my cheeks. His thumb right on my cheek bone while his other fingers were under my ear. My arms wrap around his neck. His tongue enters my mouth hitting every corner. His hands move from my cheeks to my waist. Tom stands up not breaking the kiss, picking my up. Slowly going upstairs making sure I wasn't going to fall. He opens my bedroom door. I feel my back press against my bed. I whimper as I feel Tom's lips separate mine. "Ellie are you sure you want this?"

"Why wouldn't I"
