i wake up to zachs arms still wrapped around me.
i pull myself from his grip and go downstairs.
i get some of jonahs infamous waffles and sit down.
i hurry up and eat and rush to my office.
i start working and i hear some yelling downstairs.

corbyn's pov
i see zach walk down the stairs.

"fucking asshole!" i yell.

"whoah, i just woke up. can you give me a minute before you yell at me?" he replies rubbing his eyes.

"no! why was the chick that you were talking to here last night? you're a fucking asshole! you bitch!" i yell.

"dude she wasn't here." zach defends.

"oh really?" i ask angrily.

he nods.

"than what's this?" i show him the security footage.

zach's pov
shit.
good thing we don't have the audio ones.

"yea, she was here. but it wasn't anything serious." i claim.

"fucking more lies. more fucking lies." corbyn yells at me.

what had happened was, she came over and we had a quick fuck sesh.

"you're a dick." corbyn says and storms upstairs.

y/n's pov
i didn't hear what the yelling was about or who it was with though.
i sigh and continue working.
but than corbyn storms in.

"how may i help you?" i joke.

"no i need to tell you something. seriously." he said sitting down next to me.

"ok?" i respond.

"i have proof zach is cheating." he said.

"he's not cheating." i claim, brought back to the incident in the car.

"he is let me show yo-" corbyn starts until we hear yelling downstairs.

i run down to see what happened.
i see zach on the floor in the kitchen.
i run to him and see what happened to him.

"babe!" i exclaim when i see him all disoriented.

"what happened?" corbyn said from behind me.

"he-he tripped." jonah said in shock.

i feel his ankle.
it feels broken.
fuck.
i try to pick him up but i'm not very strong.
corbyn grabs his other side and we walk him to daniels tesla
we lay him down in the back and corbyn jumps into the front.
the other boys get in too.
i go and grab his heath information from our room and the boys take off.
i run back down to drive in my jeep.
i start rushing towards the hospital.
i get a text:

corbs 🥺: hurry up with his info, we arrived and they need it to give him an x-ray

i look down to read it then-

boom

a car comes crashing into mine.
knocking me unconscious.

third pov
the driver who had just hit y/n called an ambulance.
the ambulance soon arrives and puts y/n in a stretcher.
they grab her purse and her phone and drive to the hospital.

corbyn's pov
y/n didn't respond to me and i'm wondering if she's ok.
not too long after paramedics come rushing in with someone that looks like y/n on a stretcher.
i run up to them and see.

it's her

"exuse me. that's my cousin what happened?" i ask worried.

"she had gotten into a car accident and she needs to be rushed to get tests done. just incase she has some internal bleeding or anything." the paramedic said handing me her purse and phone and going into a doctor only area.

i rush back to the boys.
they see that i'm hysterically crying.

"y-y/n sh-she g-got into an ac-accident." i sob out.

zachs eyes widen.
through the pain he's feeling he attempts to get up.

"zach not sit!" daniel yells at him.

he ignores daniel and hops away.
i catch him and bring him back.
i grab his information along with y/n's from y/n's purse.
i sign both in and zach gets taken for an x-ray.
i sit down and cry hysterically while the others try to comfort me.

"she's going to be ok." jack assured me.

"b-but w-what if sh-she di-dies?" i sob out falling into jonahs arms.

jonah holds me tight and shushes me.

~~

zach soon comes out with a cast and crutches.
he sits down next to us and sees that y/n's not here.

"she's still getting looked at?" he asked shaky.

daniel nods.
i'm still crying hysterical in jonahs arms and zach soon joins me.
jack and daniel get up to go ask about y/n.
they soon come back.

"they said that one person can go see her. she's fine, she's asleep and will be for a while." daniel says.

me and zach look at each other.

"you go, you're her cousin." zach says.

"but you're her boyfriend, you go." i say.

"you're the only family she has." he reply's.

"but you're her forever. coming from her only family, i say go.

he gets up at crutches over to the desk.
the tell him to go somewhere and he disappears.

zach's pov
i crutch down to where the doctor person said to go.
i see y/n laying there.
practically lifeless.
i sit next to her and hug her.
i hug her so tight.

"i love you." i whisper.

"i love you too." she replies looking at me.

at that moment i get a call.

lea.

i look back and forth from y/n and my phone.
