Twenty Three

CC POV

I open my eyes and see bright lights. The walls are white and I'm in a bed. Am I in the hospital? I look around and see Hayes sitting in the chair with his head in his hands. I look outside the door and see Taylor standing there talking to a doctor.

"Hayes?" I say softly.

"CC oh my gosh, your awake!" He says sitting on the bed and holding my hand.

"What happened?" I ask.

"You were beat, then Taylor and I found you and we took you here, you have a slight concussion and a few bruises, that's all." He says rubbing his thumb over the back of my hand.

Hayes POV

One hour earlier

They just rolled CC away to do some tests. Taylor was sitting on the chair crying.

"Hey hey it's gonna be ok." I tell his sitting down next to him, I know him and I aren't on good terms with CC but she needs both of us right now.

"Thanks Hayes, I just need to apologize to her." He says.

"I know." I say rubbing his back, that's when I knew that Taylor wasn't mad at me, he wants to make everything right. We were sitting there for about a half an hour before a doctor came out and told us we could see her.

Taylor and I run to her room and see her sitting on the bed. She was a asleep, she looks so peaceful. Her makeup was removed and she just sat there in a hospital gown looking perfect. I don't know what this girl did to me but I am head over heels for her, and I almost let her get killed.

Taylor sat down on the bed next to her.

"CC I know you can't hear me but I am so sorry! I'm sorry for telling you what to do, I'm sorry for kicking you out of the house, I'm sorry for hitting you. I'm sorry for everything. I promise once you wake up I will say all of this again but please just let us be ok." He says crying again. We bother sat there in silence for a while before a doctor called Taylor out into the hall. I put my hands in my head, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have left her.

"Hayes?" I hear, I shoot my head up and see CC sitting there.

"CC oh my gosh your awake!" I say sitting on the bed. I take her small delicate hand and put it in mine.

"What happened?" She asks.

"You were beat then Taylor and I found you and we took you here, you have a slight concussion and a few bruises, that's all." I explain to her.

"Where were we?" She asks.

"A party." I say.

"The one to piss off Taylor?" She asks.

"Yah that one." I tell her. "How far do you remember?" I ask

"I remember getting in the shower to get ready for the party but that's it." She says, oh my gosh she has memory loss now we won't know who attacked her.

CC POV

I lied to Hayes and said that I didn't remeber what happened, I can't tell him who took me, and I can't tell him what I have to do.

"Where is Taylor?" I ask.

"Talking to a doctor, he should be in any moment." Hayes says we sit in comfortable silence for about ten minutes before Taylor walked in. He stopped and just starred at me, I could see the tears in his eyes but they didn't dare to spill. He sits on the bed and Hayes excuses himself.

"CC- I am so-" I cut him off, "Taylor I heard it all, I am sorry too, I overreacted and went all goth crazy." I say with a light laugh. I did hear Taylor talking to me earlier, I forgive him and I am so happy that this is all over.

"I love you." Taylor says before pulling me into a hug, we were inturrupted when a nurse came in and told me I was well enough to go home.

"Come on." Hayes says.

"They said I could stay overnight and I have no clothes." I say laughing, I am not putting on that dress let alone the heels.

"I'll carry you." Hayes says picking me up bridal style.

"Thanks babe." I say and rest my head on his shoulder. He got to the car and headed for home. When we got there I changed into a t-shirt and some spandex.

I walk into my moms old room, I haven't been in here for two years, everything was still in its place, all the clothes and the blood. My devil-of-a-father killed my mom in their own bedroom. I rummage through a couple drawers before finding the ring that my dad gave my mother at their wedding. It was gold with a big diamond in the middle. I wish she could be here now, I need her.

I close the drawer and go back into my room I put the ring into my old jewerly box. I really hope this goes smoothly.
