(43) hospital

an: good evening, loves

i'm super excited for this chapter (even tho it's sad) so... let's just jump right into it :)

y/n pov: 

I opened my eyes and was met with some bright LED lights. I was in a white room with blue curtains on the edges of my bed. I tried to sit up but my head began to pound. 

"Ow! What the fuck?" I held onto my forehead. I saw a person get up out of the corner of my eye. 

"Holy shit! Y/n, you're awake! Dude, call the nurse!" The boy spoke to another guy in the room. The taller, curly, light brown headed boy smiled at me and rushed out of the room. The other tall boy walked over to me I could tell he had barely gotten any sleep. "Babe! I'm so happy you're awake!" 

"Babe? I'm sorry do I know you?" I asked, confused. I studied the boys face as his happy expression turned into a sad one. I have legitimately never seen this boy in my life. "You look kinda tired. You probably need some sleep."

"Hah, I guess you're right." He scratched the back of his head. "I haven't slept in 4 weeks. Wait so you really don't know me?"

"No, I'm sorry. Should I? And where am I?" I looked around. 

"You don't remember? The accident? Anything?" I saw tears begin to slip down the boy's cheeks. 

"Accident?" I replied as the other boy and a nurse walked into the room. 

"Oh my gosh, bubs! I can't believe you're awake!" The curly headed boy walked over to me and squeezed my hand. He looked at the other boy and stared at him, confused. "What's wrong, dude?"

"She doesn't remember." The boy spoke, looking at me. 

"Excuse me?" I looked at the nurse. "I'm not sure what I am doing here or who either of these guys are."

"Oh, sweetie." She propped the bed up into a sitting position. "You're at the LA General Hospital. You were in a terrible accident 4 weeks ago and have been in a coma ever since."

"Why am I in LA?" I looked around, again. "Shouldn't I be in Nashville?"

"It seems that she is suffering from Amnesia and a concussion." The nurse looked the boys. "She doesn't remember either of you. She doesn't even know why she's here."

"I called the rest of the house members and Sway. They'll be here soon. We'll see if she remembers any of them. The curly headed boy said to the other guy.

The nurse left the room and the two boys sat on the edge of my bed. 

"Y/n." The curly headed boy placed his hand on my lower leg. "Do you remember anyone or anything?"

"I remember my mom and Nashville. I also remember that I had a best friend from Nashville. I've always thought he was super cute. The two of us never really got the timing right, though." I laughed to myself. "Hm. I can't really remember his name, though. It was like maybe Ryan or-"

"Ryland." The curly headed boy spoke up. 

I nodded my head. "Yes, yeah. That's it! How did you know?" 

"Y/n. I'm Ryland." The boy said. My eyes widened. I remembered the last 17 1/2 years that we had spent as friends. I felt tears come to my eyes and I held out my arms for him to hug me. "You remember me?"

I nodded. "O-of course." I sobbed into Ryland's shoulder. 

"I've missed you bubs." He sighed into the hug. We pulled away and I wiped my eyes. I looked at the other boy who was also crying. 

"Oh no. What's wrong?" I asked, grabbing one of his hands and squeezing it. 

"Nothing don't worry about it." The boy looked down. I looked over at Ryland who decided to speak up. 

"Y/n. This is Nick. Nick Austin. He is... or was." He looked at Nick who shrugged. "I'm not really sure because you two never confirmed it yet but... he is your boyfriend."

I looked at the other boy. Nick. I looked at Nick but I couldn't remember anything. "You sure? I don't remember a single thing." 

Nick nodded and held out his hand. In it, was a necklace with a key on it. I took it out of his hand and looked at it. It was beautiful but it didn't click with any emotions or anything. 

I handed the necklace back to Nick. "I'm sorry. I can't remember." 

"I-It's okay." He stuttered, tears flowing down his cheeks. I felt absolutely horrible that I was causing him all this pain. I wanted to remember. I needed to remember. But I couldn't get anything to come to mind. 

"So why am I here in LA?" I asked as suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It opened and a bunch of teenagers filed into the room. 

"They're why." Ryland responded, motioning to all the strange faces that were now in the room. I scanned all of the people. 

"I know him." I pointed to a tall, skinny boy with blond hair and tattoos on his arm. And him, him, him, him and him, too." I pointed to a total of 6 guys. 

"Do you know our names, though?" One of the guys who I pointed to spoke up. 

"Hm." I stared them down for a few more seconds. "Anthony? ...Kio? Josh and Griffin? Bryce... and Jaden?" Jaden walked over to me and hugged me tight.

"Hi, Angel!" Jaden kissed my forehead. 

"And you're all in... Sway, right?" I asked.

"That's right!" The boy who I called Bryce walked over and rustled my hair. "Good job, princess."

"Hi Bryce! I haven't seen you since, when was it, last September?" I said, recalling my memories. 

"Actually no." Josh walked forward. "You've seen all of us much more recently. Just before you left for the Bahamas a week ago."

"A week ago? And I went to the Bahamas?" I asked, eyes wide. 

"Yeah, with most of the Hype House." Griffin walked over and hugged me. "I've missed you, kiddo."

"You too, Griffy." I kissed his cheek. "But wait. What the hell is a Hype House?" 

"Hm. I think we'll let you guys have her." Josh spoke up.

"Yeah, she already remembers us through Ryland. She just needs to reconnect with the reason she is really here." Jaden agreed. 

I said goodbye to all the Sway members and I promised them that I would stay with them soon, once I was out of the hospital. 

I looked around the room and noticed that Nick was sitting on one of the chairs by the window in the far corner of the room. It made me sad to see him sad. 

"So, y/n. We're the Hype House. You're part of the Hype House." A tall boy with black hair spoke up. "Does that help at all?"

"No, sorry." I shrugged and looked at Ryland. "Can you please tell me what exactly happened to land me in the hospital for 4 weeks?"

"You were in a horrible accident." Ryland replied. "You and Nick were driving home from the airport. We had all just landed from the Bahamas. Something went wrong and you two collided with a tree. Your airbag didn't deploy and you hit the windshield really hard and immediately lost consciousness." 

"Y/n." A girl with long blonde hair spoke up."You've been in a coma for the past 4 weeks. And now you have Amnesia."

"Obviously..." I mumbled. 

"I have an idea!" Ryland piped up and walked over to Nick and whispered in his ear. 

"Hm. It better work." Nick sighed, getting up. "Y/n. Tomorrow, I'm taking you somewhere after you are discharged."

"O-okay." I replied, trying to seem happy.
