-now, what can you do?-

Lili's PoV

I don't remember when I fell asleep but I definitely don't remember going to the hospital.

My eyes were closed but I opened them for a second before to look at where I was and pretended to be asleep.

I finally decided to wake up Kyle who was on the chair next to the bed with his head buried in his hands on the bed.

I sit up and shook him a little.

"Kyle...wakey wakey..." I whisper but he doesn't budge.

I huff and roll my eyes.

I put my ear really close to his ear and shout.

"KYLE!!!FIRE!!!" I shout in his ear.

He jolts up awake and falls of the chair. I stifle a laugh.

He looks around until his eyes landed on me.

I look at him innocently.

"Lili!" He exclaims and gives me a bear hug.

"Yup. That's me." I say.

He let's go and looks at me.

"What the hell, happened?!" He asks.

I sigh as I recall what happened.

"Long story short. I was driving, I saw a squirrel in the middle of nowhere and went off the road. My phone was dead and I just decided to walk." I say, shrugging.

He raises an eyebrow at me.

"A squirrel? Really?" He chuckles.

I'm so amazing at lying.

Is that a good thing?

Oh well, it is to me.

"How did you guys find me?" I ask, curiously.

"Ryder said he found you, unconscious, at the sidewalk and he brought you to the hospital before informing us." He says.

Thank God, he didn't tell them about that place.

I nod.

"Shouldn't you like...call the doctor or something? At least, I guess that's what normal people do." I say.

A look of realisation washes over his face. He tells me he'll be back and walks out.

I sigh and close my eyes.

Getting admitted into a hospital on your birthday?

I chuckled at the thought.

God, I miss you.

I wish you were here, Caleb.

Why couldn't you just hand me in?

I sigh.

Then, a thought pops into my head.

What was Giraffie even doing there at that time?

Is he secretly a vampire or something?

Maybe he was looking for a rabbit-

My thoughts were interrupted when the door flew open, revealing my mom and dad.

"Lili!" My mom cried as she ran to me with dad behind her.

"Sweetpea!" My dad exclaims.

"Hi?" I say.
