Addison's Pov
      I wake up to the sun shining in my face. Ugh why are my blinds open. It takes a minute till I realize I'm not in my room. In fact I'm in a hospital room. That's when everything from last night comes rushing back to me. Dixie almost left me. For good.
        I frown at the thought and slowly get out of the bed being careful not to wake the sleep girl next to me. I walk over to the windows and shut the blinds, and then proceed to pull the curtains closed.
      I walk back over to the bed and lay back down again, this time I pull her close as if I'm afraid to lose her, and I am. I lay my head on her chest and then drift back to sleep.
Dixie's Pov
     I wake up and the room is pretty dark seeing as the curtains are pulled close. I check my phone and it's only 8:30am so I decide to go back to sleep, but before doing such I shifted enough to put both my arms around Addison's waist and pull her a little closer.
       I lay my head back down on the pillow a float back into a peaceful dream.
2 hours later
"Goooooood morning wake up!" Someone yells bringing my out of my peaceful slumber.
"Hmm." I say not wanting to get up.
"You and your girlfriend need to get up."
"She's not my girlfriend." I finally open my eyes to see both Avani and Charli sitting on the couch.
"Oh. It's you two." I say unamused.
       "Wow, such a nice way to greet your sister and her girlfriend." Avani says sarcastically.
        "Shut it clown girl." I say.
         "Anyways why are you guys here?"
"One because it's 10am, two visiting hours just started, and three Addison is gonna need to go home to shower and change so we're here to keep you company." Charli says.
"Like good friends." Avani adds and I let out a small laugh.
I turn my attention back to the sleeping beauty next to me.
"Addi it's time to get up." I say quietly and shake her a bit.
I feel her start to stir. I shake her again and her eyes open sleepily.
"Good morning." She day is the most adorable voice.
"Good morning beautiful." I say back to her.
She smiles and pulls me in for a soft and short kiss. Every time I was with her it was like the rest of the world just disappeared. It was just us. I heard one of the girls clear their throat bringing me back to the real world. Addison jumped and turns her direction to the girls.
       "When did they get here?" She turns and asks me.
        "When you were sleeping." I answer.
       "So anyways we're here to keep Dixie company for whenever you go home and change." Vani speaks out.
        "But, I don't wanna leave you here." She looks at me with sad eyes.
       "Adds I'm gonna be here until Monday afternoon, you have to go home to do things. I'll be fine. Go home, you can come right back after." I reassure her.
      She nods and starts to get out of the bed. She sits on the chair she was in last night and slowly starts to put her shoes on.
"Hey stay here until you wake up a bit more. I don't need you driving while half asleep." I say.
"Okay." She yawns and stretches.
"So Char, how was the house last night?" I ask.
       "I- umm, I didn't go home last night. I got scared so I told mom I'm gonna stay at Avani's until you get out on Monday." She says.
       "Why are you scared to go home?" Addison asked curiously.
       "My dad tends to have anger issues so I didn't want to put myself in a bad position." She says lowly.
"Yeah, it's true. Nights that he gets really mad at me I usually go to Avani's." I add.
Addison's Pov
"Why didn't you ever tell me about this?" I ask her.
"It's not really that important I guess." She answers.
"Dixie, this is serious. You should never be afraid to go home because of him."
"Look, I'm fine Addison. He just has anger issues sometimes, I'm literally the same way. Have you seen my wall?" She snaps at me.
"Okay, I'm sorry for caring." I whisper to myself.
"I heard that." She says to me.
"Umm, we're gonna get snacks so you guys can sort out whatever this is." Avani says and they exit the room.
"Addison I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get mad at you. It's just... I'm okay he's just has some issues."
"Dixie look at me." Our eyes interlock.
"Dixie I'm asking you to be one hundred percent honest with me right now. Do you understand that?" She slowly nods.
"Has he ever hit you?"
She looks away and stays quiet.
"Dixie?" I ask grabbing her hand.
She goes to open her mouth, but Avani and Charli walk back in the room.
"We'll continue this conversation tonight. I'm gonna go home and change, I'll be back here as fast as possible. I love you so much Dixie." I give her a quick kiss and then walk out of the room.
        As I walk don't the hall my mind wonders to what her silence had meant. I shake it off as I get into my car and drive home.
        As I pulled up in my driveway I let out a long sigh, and got out the car making my way to my house. I opened the door hoping that I wouldn't get attacked by questions but of course that wasn't the case.
       "Where were you?" Is the first thing that I heard walking inside the house.
       "I told you that if I didn't come home I was fine." I replied.
       "That doesn't answer my question, where were you?" My father asks again.
       "I was at the hospital." I say.
        "Why?" My mother pitches in.
        "Dixie was there last night."
        "I thought you two weren't seeing eachother." My mom says.
         "We weren't. I was the only emergency contact on her phone. I mean we're back together now but we weren't when I left last night." I say.
      "So why was she there?" My dad asks.
      "Umm, she uh she overdosed last night and they had to pump her stomach, and then She said my name right when she woke up but her parents were in the room, so then Marc found out that I was me and start to get mad so Heidi told him to go to the car and then she said sorry to us, and yeah that's a recap of last night." I felt a tiny tear stream down my face.
"Hey, don't cry. Come here." My dad says opening his arms.
I immediately hug him back. "Everything is gonna be alright with Dixie, I promise that Addison." He says trying to comfort me.
"I know, but I almost lost her dad." I say crying harder into his shoulder.
"But you didn't. She's still here." He wipes away my tears like he used to when I was a kid.
"Yeah." I sniffled wiping away the rest of my tears.
"I need to go shower and then get back to the hospital." I let go of him.
He nods and I go upstairs.
Charli's Pov
It's just been the three of us sitting quietly in the room for 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure dixie went back to sleep and she's laying back down and breathing lightly. I feel a weight on my should that was all too familiar. I laid my head on top of hers as we remained silent.
      "I'm sorry Charli." She says.
       "Why bubba?" I ask confused.
         "Because when everything was going on last night I just stood there. I should have done something, what if he hurt you? I don't know what I would have done." She says getting quieter throughout the sentence.
          "Baby look at me." I feel her shift and then her eyes meet mine. "You were scared last night, just like everyone else. I understand, but look even through my dad may be homophobic, I don't think he would ever physically harm me or my sister. I don't think he's homophobic, I think he's scared. It's a just rough world out there for people like us avani." she nods.
"Stand up."
"Why though?" I ask.
"Just do it." She says.
I obey and get off of the couch and watch as she lays down completely. She looks to me and out stretches her arms. "Cuddles?" She asks.
I nod and lay on top of her. She wraps her hands around my waist and I give her a soft kiss.
"I'm really tired." She says looking up at me.
"Why?"
"I don't really know, I just couldn't sleep last time. I guess it was just everything running around my mind and I stayed up to make sure you were okay and didn't have any nightmares or stuff like that." She confesses.
"Aww, avani you really didn't have to, I'm fine now. Why don't we take a nap?"
"I like that idea," she yawns. "Goodnight princess." She says pulling my closer and snuggling into my neck.
"Night night bubba." I whisper back to her.
Addison's Pov
      I walk into the room and shut the door quietly behind me. I walk a bit further in the room realizing that everyone is now asleep. It's 11:30 and I'm hungry but everyone is sleeping, just perfect. I walk over and sit in the chair next to the bed, while sitting there I take out my phone. I take ahold of her hand and look back to my phone. Since I'm here by myself I decided to text Kate.

Me: kateeeee
horsey girl🤩🥺: yes?
Me: you know what you should do...
horsey girl🤩🥺: and what's that?
Me: go get food for me, avani, char, and dix. Then you should come hang out with me here.
horsey girl🤩🥺: and why should I waste my gas, and my cash on you guys?
Me: because you love me, and the rest of them are sleeping so I'm bored.
horsey girl🤩🥺: ugh, okay I'm coming
Me: yay😌
30 minutes later
"Hey addi." I hear Kate say upon entering the room.
"Wow, you weren't lying when you said they where all asleep. Awww, look at them." She points to Charli and Avani.
"I know they're so cute, too bad we have to wake them up."
       "You get dixie, I'll get the both of them."
I watch as Kate walks over to the two of them and stands looking over them debating how to wake them. Just then she looks as if she's gotten and idea.
          She puts her hands next to Charli's ear and claps loudly. She shoots up looking around frantically and her eyes meet Kate's as she gives her a glare, at this point there was a confused yet tired avani staring up at her girlfriend with a questioning look plastered on her face. Kate lets out a small chuckle and then gestures me to wake dixie up.
       I slowly crawl on the bed and just sit on her lap, the pressure doesn't wake her up so I decide to start poking her. Suddenly, I feel two hands on my hips pulling me down onto her. Although no one could see it I knew I was blushing.
         "So what did you wake me up for princess?" She whispers in my ear and I can feel her smirking.
       "One, I woke you up cause there's food and two, there are three other people in this room, so calm down." I whisper back. I feel her immediately let go of me and I move off of her, in the background I hear Charli fake gagging at the seen she had just witnessed. Avani and Kate were laughing a the younger D'amelio.
       "So? I heard something about food?" Dixie says sitting up in the bed.
        "Oh, yeah I gotta Chick-fil-a." Kate says.
         "Bless you, you're a literal angel Kate." Avani says grabbing her and Charli's food from the bag.
       I grab me and Dixie's food and hand it to her as we just talk about random things. 
9 hours later
Dixie's Pov
       "Bye guys thank you for hanging out with me today." I say as Kate, Charli and Avani walk out the door leaving just me and Addison.
      I really hope she forgot that she wanted to talk to me, because honestly the topic of my father makes my uneasy. We just never had a good relationship especially after moving to Connecticut.
         "So, time to continue our conversation." She looks to me.
        "Do we have to?" I whine.
      "Yes. Now, has he ever hit you? Please be honest with me." She gives me a soft look.
        "No. He hasn't, and if he ever did I'd probably hit him right back. But no, he's never laid his hands on me. We just have a bad relationship." I say.
        She gives an sigh of relief. "Good." She gives me and small smile.
       "We have something else to talk about."
       "What is it?" I ask.
       "Why did you do it? Last night. Why did you take them?"
        "I don't know Addison. I just had a bad headache and my thoughts were getting loud, and I couldn't concentrate. I wasn't really in the right head space either. There was just a lot going on. I'm sorry Addison, I never should've taken them." I grab her hand and run my thumb over the top of it.
         She gets really quiet until I see a tear stream down her face.
        "Addison I'm sorry and if I could take everything back I would, but it happened and I'm never gonna do it again."
       "Dixie do you know how close you were to dying?" She asks me tears streaming down her face.
       I shake my head no. "That's what I thought. You were one minute from being gone. ONE MINUTE! One goddamn fucking minute, and then I would have lost you. It would have been my fault."
          "Addison it's not your fault, this isn't on you okay? I promise baby. I did it, it was my actions not yours. Can we just move in from this, I don't want to lose you."
     "Come here will you." I pull her on the bed and she lays on top of me crying into my neck.
       "Sh, sh, sh. It's okay Adds, everything is gonna be okay. Why don't we go to sleep? It's been a long day, and you need some rest. Goodnight angel, sleep well. I love you to the moon and back." I say softly as I play with a strand of her hair, it's not long until I hear her quiet snores telling me she's out like a light. 
          I close my eyes and soon enough I'm engulfed by sleep once more.
