Alic's POV:

"Hey Princess how are you?" Matt asked Zoey as soon as we got inside the room. "My arm still hurts, but it's a little better." Zoey said. Did he call her princess? Did he ever call her princess? I thought calling her princess was my thing. I felt jealousy surge through me. 

He walked over to the other side of the bed and sat in the chair by her bed. "Hey kiddo, what's up!?" Cam said coming in. "CAMMY!" Zoey yelled. He came around and hugged her lightly.

As soon as he let go Taylor came in. "HEY DON'T TOUCH THE QUEEN!" He yelled. He had one hand on his hip and another in the air. He's probably thinking he has wind blowing at him. I laughed at him. These guys always make a bad moment turn into a good one. That's why Zoey and I love them so much.

Taylor dismissed his stance and walked over to Zoey. All the boys surrounded her, leaving me no space. I weakly smiled. I looked around the room for a place to sit. It was a big room. IT didn't look like a normal hospital room though. The walls were a grassy green color and the floors were white. All the way in the corner of the room was a wooden chair.  I sigh and look back at Zoey one last time, before going to my seat...in the corner.

***3 hours later.***

It's been almost three hours and everyone is still here. Zoey is asleep, Cam and Taylor are laying next to her on their phones. I rub the middle of my back trying to take away some of the ache. I stand up and twist my body to get my back to crack. Damn wooden chair. While doing that, I try to take a quick glance at Matt. I was surprised to see he was already looking at me. "Can we talk?" He said. My heart started to beat fast. I stopped twisting my body. I blushed, "Sure."

He got up from his chair, walking out the door with me following. When we were out of the room he closed the door and turned to me. "Listen before you say anything I'm sorry I didn't tell you I have my reasons on why I didn't. If you let me explain I will. Just please don't hate me." I said fast. I didn't want to lose Matt. He deserves to know everything, but first he has to let me explain. I didn't want him to just assume things and leave Zoey and me.

"Alic, that's why I brought you out here. I want to know why." He said looking into my eyes. I swear everytime I look into them, it's like there's no problem. Like everything was perfect. Him in general makes everything better. He looked down breaking the eye contact and some of my hope.

I sat on the hospital floor not really caring on how dirty it was and put my back against the wall. I patted the cold tiled floor motioning for him to sit. He took a deep breath and sat down. "When I found out...I didn't know what to do." I started, not caring if he was ready or not. "I was so afraid. I thought all the negatives. What if I can't finish school? What if I can't support the baby? What if Matt rejects us? What if he leaves us? That was the one thing that scared me the most. I wanted to tell you, but I thought about your future. You have so many dreams you want to accomplish. I couldn't take that away from you. I couldn't have you help supporting Zoey when you wanted to go to college and become an actor. Then when we came to Magcon you and Zoey instantly connected. She had the best time ever with you. I did too. It's like I have my best friend back." I explained looking down.

I felt him pick up my hand and kiss it. I felt a tingling sensation where his lips were placed. "Alic I would never ever think of leaving you. Even if it was something big like the Zoey situation. I will always stand by your side....and Zoey's." He said. I looked at him and smiled. He has no idea how much that means to me. This is what I wanted to hear for almost four years. His eyes instantly taking me in and comforting me. I felt myself lean in. Wait? Is this happening? He started to lean in too. Is this actually going to happen? My stomach started to swirl in butterflies. We were inches apart.

Every second he was coming closer. I was becoming impatient, just wanting to feel his lips on mine...just one more time. Last time we kissed was the night of the party. I didn't remember kissing him, everything that night was still pretty hazy, yet it was so clear. His lips was now a centimeter away. I could feel his breath against my lips. I felt excitement rise in my stomach and my heart start to race.  

"Guys- oops was I in-interrupting something?" Cam said laughing. I jumped away from Matt, as soon as I heard Cams voice. "Oh you're so going to get it!" Matt yelled and got up. Cam's eyes went wide. He started to run down the hall way with Matt chasing him. I just sat and watch still in shock.

I was going to kiss Matt.
