Nailea woke up a few hours later. The blinding lights causing her to shield her eyes and groan out in pain. Jaden and Nessa took quick notice and struggled to wake up Marie, who was sleeping on the couch with her legs dangling over the edge.

Nailea tried to speak but her throat felt closed. Swollen even. She panicked and started flailing her arms around. Trying to signal to the others.

Jaden ran over and placed his hand on her shoulder. "You're fine, we just have to wait for your throat to re-open" Naileas body relaxed as she nodded.

"So, how are you?" Marie asked. All Nailea could do was shrug. But even that didnt show her true emotion. She felt uneasy. That everyone knew her life secrets. She didnt even know how long she had been passed out for. It could've been days or even hours. But either way, it was long enough for people to start commenting hateful words on Nailea, without an explanation.

Then the door to her room opened, and in walked an unfamiliar doctor. "Nailea Devora?" His eyes widened. Naileas face grew to a smile as she nodded. "Oh my gosh, my wife loves you" He cheered.

The nurse behind him stared at him with a glare. "Oh, right" He started getting back on track.

"What happened to her?" Jaden asked cutting him off. The doctor pulled out his clipboard, searching through information.

"It seems as though she had an anxiety attack. A really bad one and passed out. Any reason why?" He asked Jaden. His lips formed to a line, trying to avoid the question.

"I would answer, but its Naileas personal information that I will not share" He stepped back. The doctor nodded and moved his focus towards Nailea.

"I know its gonna be hard, but could you try to speak for us?" He questioned, pulling out a chair and sitting in it.

She tried, as hard as she could. But the sharp cracks that were coming out of her throat caused immense pain. She felt the tears welt up in her eyes as she tried and tried again. But nothing came out audible.

She turned her focus to the soft placement of a hand on her shoulder. It was Jadens of course. He had tears in his eyes. He tried to blink them away but caused them to fall and hit Naileas shoulder.

Nailea put her hand to her ear, making a phone symbol with her pinky and thumb. Jaden reached to his back pocket and handed her the phone. In which she typed out questions to them. 'Did you tell anyone else?' it read.

"No, we didnt want anyone else to be surrounding you and causing stress" Marie replied trying to wake herself up. All Nailea could do was nod.

It was silent until Jaden spoke again, "Um can I talk to Nailea... alone" He whispered. Marie and Nessa understood and left the room, leaving the teens alone. Jaden let out a loud sigh.

"I'm sorry" Was all he said. Nailea was confused. Why was he apologizing for the deed she did. "I should've let you explain in the car. But I didnt, I cut you off and now its my fault your here." Nailea frantically shook her head with a saddened expression on her face. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight. She opened her mouth o speak but the sharp cracks felt like they were tearing her throat.

"Here type" He suggested while handing Nailea the phone.

It took her a few minutes as Jaden patiently waited. 'I'm sorry, I still dont know who the unknown number is. But I should've never listened to it and blocked it. I'm sorry that I put you in a horrible place where you were put in literal jail. I'm sorry for not explaining myself and letting your anger get to me. And lastly, I'm sorry for ever leaving you alone. And making you wait for me when I know you are too good for me. I promised you I would go on that date, and I didnt. I stood you up like a fucking idiot, and now I'm paying the price. Jaden, I'm fucking sorry' She finished typing letting tears fall down her face. She passed Jaden the phone and let him read.

His face turned to a smile near the end. And he knew what he should do next.

"So, you wanna try that date again?" He smiled. Naileas face brightened as she nodded quickly. Gripping Jadens wrist and pulling him down to her level. And wrapping her arms around his neck.

She was happy again.
