"Throne of lies."

Hailey's POV

Dream

I was running. As fast as a cheetah. I wasn't running just because. I was running from Carter.

He was chasing me, like I was his prey. Carter is the lion and I am the gazelle. Gazelle, so innocent and frail. The lion strong and intimidating.

He wanted me and only me. I couldn't stop running, I had to keep running or else I'd be caught by Carter.

I saw a bush. My opportunity. I ran faster and ran to the bush and dived behind it.

"Where'd you go Hailey?" I heard Carter say. I couldn't see him. He was gone.

I sat up and looked around. Carter grabbed my shirt and lifted me up.

"I got you know." He said covering my eyes. All I could see was black.

End of dream.

Aaron's POV

A nurse gave us pillows and blankets. Everyone slept in Natalies room. I left and went into Hailey's room with Matt.

I laid down on the floor next to Hailey's bed. The only thing that you could hear was beeping of machines and our breathing.

I couldn't sleep. I stood up and looked at Hailey. She was so beautiful. I moved her hair from her face.

"Wake up soon baby girl." I said kissing her lips.

"Aaron?" I heard Matt say. He didn't sound like he's been sleeping. He was sitting up looking at me.

"What's up Matt?" I whispered sitting down.

"You love Hailey?" He asked me. Of course.

"To re moon and back." I said looking at her. Matt didn't say anything.

"Are you excited?" I asked looking at him.

"For what?" He said.

"Your gonna be a dad dude! You've gotta be excited." I said. I was excited and I wasn't even the soon to be dad.

"I am excited, but I'm nervous too." He said. I can't blame him, I would too.

"I just want them to have a great life. I want to be the best dad." He said. Matthew would be the best dad to these two kids.

"I'll be right back." He said standing up and walking out of the room.

"I love you." I said to Hailey crawling into be with her. "So much." I finally fell asleep next to my beautiful girlfriend.

Natalies POV

I woke up in a white room. White walls, white ceiling. White, white, white. There were blankets and pillows all over the floor.

I turned my head to the left and saw a girl sitting there.

"Natalie your awake." She said. Who is she. She ran out of the room and came back with another girl, 7 boys and a doctor.

"Natalie. How are you feeling?" The doctor asked me.

"My head hurts." I said closing my eyes.

"Do you remember anything?" The doctor asked. The last thing I remember was a girl my age passing out at a magcon event.

"I remember a girl my age fainting at a magcon event." I said looking at the doctor.

"Hailey." A boy with beautiful blue eyes and brown hair said. The girl that's a sin here when I woke up was next to him with his arm around her.

"You don't know who these people are?" The doctor said extending his hand.

I looked at them all smiling at me.

"No." I said looking down. In and insane everyone's faces grew a frown.

"Are you sure nat?" A blonde boy asked me. I really don't know who these people are.

"No. I'm sorry. I want to remember, but I can't." I said looking down.

"Natalie, you'll be free to go in a few days, but for know just hang tight." The doctor said walking out. I looked at the boy sitting on my bed.

"I love you." He said hugging me. Why was he hugging me and why did he tell me that he loved me.

"Cameron, she doesn't remember anything." The boy with beautiful eyes said pulling this boy, Cameron, off of me.

"Well, we have to make her remember. Or at least try." He said sitting down.

"Natalie. Your name is Natalie Wilson. You live in Knoxville, Tennessee. These are your friends." Cameron said to me.

"Okay if we are gonna do this, don't talk to me like a baby." I said. He nodded and continued.

"This, is Bella Rose. She's one of your best friends." Cameron said pointing to Bella. She was texting someone.

"We've been best friends for two years. We started playing volleyball together and that brought us closer." She said. I nodded.

"This is Caila Ryder. She is one of your other best friends. She is going to have twins." Cameron said. Caila waved a little and I smiled. Two boys walked in.

"This is Matthew Espinosa, he's dating Caila." Cameron said.

"Hey Natalie your awake!" a kid with brown hair and brown eyes yelled.

"That's Aaron Carpenter and he's dating Hailey." Cameron said. He introduced the rest of the people.

"And I'm Cameron Dallas. I'm your boyfriend. We got into a fight before you passed out. I love you." He said standing up and taking my hand.

I started thinking. Hard. I didn't remember any of these people or what they were telling me, but they seemed to care about me. A lot.

"Okay, so where's.... Hailey?" I asked. Everyone's head went down and Matt clenched his teeth.

"Hailey is in the hospital. That's why we were all here. They you had a stroke. She has a collapsed lung." Matt said finally. I nodded. I will remember these people.
