Zoe P.O.V

"Max!" I giggled, holding Max's hands away from me as far as I could, "Grow up!" I shouted, trying to act serious.  He just managed to tip the bottle over my head, drenching me in water, "YOU'RE A DICK!" I screeched, Max was doubled over laughing.

"Your face! You didn't think I'd do that!" He managed to get out in between laughing and backing away before I'd come up with payback.

"You little shit!" I grabbed a towel and started drying myself off when I heard my phone ring, "My phone was in my pocket too!" I scowled, "Hello?" I answered while still drying my arms off, "Yes, this is she... oh my god, I'll be there now" I hung up and threw the towel on the side.  "We need to leave" I ran to my bag and keys,

"What's the matter?" Max ran after me,

"Grace she's, she's in hospital, she's got in an accident" tears were welling up in my eyes, Max looked panicked,

"Shit, okay..."  He opened the door for me.

"Hi um Grace? Grace Bailey? She hasn't long been brought in? Where is she? Is she okay?"

The nurse looked me up and down, I was obviously still soaked but I couldn't care less at this point,

"If you could follow me please" she said and pursed her lips. I heard Max running up behind me,

"He's on his way" he rested his hand on my lower back as we followed the nurse in to A&E.

"Only one at a time please" the grumpy bitch looked between Max and I,

"You go, I'll be just here" Max rubbed my back and stepped back. I nodded and followed the nurse in through the doors.  She opened a curtain for me and there she was, I covered my mouth with my hands and couldn't stop sobbing,

Grace P.O.V

"Anyone would think you'd just come in to see my dead body"  my voice croaks out.  Zoe rushes over to me and pauses next to my bed, I give her a weak smile,

"I want to squeeze you but you're hurt" she sobs,

"I'm ok, just a bit fragile"  I tell her a little bit of a white lie, I don't know how 'ok' I am.  My body aches, my back hurts a lot and the bright lights hurt my eyes,

"Grace...what..what happened?" she sniffs, wiping her eyes with the backs of her hands and dragging a chair over to sit right next to me,

"Idiot drivers" I close my eyes with a headache,  "I don't know, I don't want to think about it.  I want to sleep and wake up and everything is ok"  I sigh.  A door slamming open makes me jump and I wince,

"I don't care if someone else is in there I'm not exactly going to take up the whole room am I?"  I gasp at the sound of Jacks voice, he rips back the curtain and I see him, his face is wet from tears and he rushes to the other side of my face,  "Grace, babygirl, fuck...fuck, I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry, I'm here now Grace"  He gently cups my face, his eyes looking straight in to mine.  I felt my bottom lip quiver and tears started pouring out of my eyes,

"I'm so sorry Jack" I croak,

"You scared me" he breathes, his lips press gently to mine and my body suddenly turns heavy, I feel myself relax into the bed, his lips tasting like our salty tears.  He pulls away and kisses my forehead,

"I'm going to let you guys have some time together, I'll just be right outside though, Max is here, I should let him know you're ok"  Zoe gives my hand a gentle squeeze and slips out of the curtain room,
