Classic ~ Nick Austin (COMPLETE)

33. Explanations

*Ronnie P.O.V*
I woke up, wow that's weird to say, my eyes fluttering open as I glanced around the room that I was in, Nick, Ryland, Josh, Bryce, Dixie, and a... nurse? My brow furrowed as I sat up slightly, making everyone look over at me.
"How are you?" Josh asked, moving closer to me.
"I'm, uh, where am I?" I asked back, still trying to take in everything around me.
"Hun, you collapsed in the airport." Dixie informed as she sat down next to me. "And we brought you here, to the hospital."
"Oh." I whispered back, my hand brushing the hair out of my face.
"Here these will help you sleep, take one every night. Does anyone here live with her?" The nurse informed, before turning back to the boys.
"Yeah we do, and she does part-time." Josh replied, pointing between himself, Bryce and Dixie.
"Okay, well you need to make sure she takes one every night, otherwise, her sleep schedule will return back to how it is now and she will end up back here." The nurse replied and Josh nodded.
"Yeah, no problem. Is she okay to go now that she's woken up?" Josh asked again.
"We've conducted all our tests and apart from her sleep, she's completely healthy, so I don't see why not." She replied, me sitting up a bit more as I glanced around the room again.
"Okay, thank you. Here, I'll help you up." Josh instructed, wrapping his arm around me as he helped me out of the bed. 
"How long was I out?" I asked as we started walking out of the hospital.
"14 hours, we were starting to get worried there was something more wrong." Josh answered as I leaned over, resting my head on his shoulder.
"What time is it?" I asked again, him checking his watch.
"Uh, it's about 7, we were going to order a pizza and watch a movie." He answered and I nodded.
"Sounds good." I smiled back, I was helped into the car, noticing there were paparazzi taking pictures of me. Josh drove me back with Bryce in the car, while the other's went back to Hype, so that they could walk up to ours. When we arrived, I walked upstairs to my room, changing into some different sweatpants and an exercise bra, threw my hair up into a ponytail, and applied makeup over the dark circles that were still living under my eyes.

I walked down the stairs, hearing noise from the living room, so deciding to walk in there. I saw Nick, Dixie, Noah, Charli, Ryland, Bryce, Addison and Josh sitting around the couches, the only spare spot was next to Nick. I smiled at him as I started to walk over, noticing Bryce stand up.
"Anyone want a drink?" He offered and I nodded.
"Please." I replied, glancing over at Nick, who gave me a small smile.
"How you doin?" He asked as everyone focused on the movie in front of us.
"I'm alright, I guess I didn't really realize just how bad my sleeping habits were getting." I replied and he nodded slightly.
"You know you really had me worried." He whispered and I smiled softly.
"Really? Aw you care about me and shit." I smirked and he laughed.
"Yeah, he even cried." Ryland whispered, leaning over Nick to talk to me. "I was kinda worried two or whatever."
"Thanks Ry, and aw you fucking cried about me." I smirked again, giving him a small hug. I rested my head on his shoulder, his hand holding onto mine where Josh couldn't see it.
"Shut up." He replied, rolling his eyes back at me as a small smile crawled onto his face, "I'm glad you're okay though."
"Me two." I smiled as the doorbell sounded.
"That's the pizza, I'll go get it." I offered, standing up and walking out of the room, to the front door, looking down to my wallet as I opened the door. "Hi, how can I..." I started before glancing up to... Tommy?

"Hey." He smiled, his big, brown eyes staring down at me.
"Wh.. Wha... What a... are you doing he... here?" I stuttered out, my hand holding onto the door frame.
"I heard you went to hospital..." He started and I nodded.
"Yeah, so? What do you care?" I retorted back at him.
"I care. Ronnie we were together for four years and..." He continued but I cut him off.
"And then you cheated on me. Come on the only reason you moved out here is so that you could use Josh and his friends for fame. You don't really care about me. I know you don't. What are you really doing here?" I asked, watching his smile drop slightly.
"Tess is four months pregnant. I haven't gotten any in weeks." He complained, making me scoff.
"Oh, so you're here for what? To see if maybe I'll let you come do me? You're a pig." I groaned as his hand slid up to my waist.
"I miss you, Ronnie. I still love you." He insisted.
"Hey Ronnie, do you need some hel... What the fuck?" Nick's voice sounded as I pulled away from Tommy's grip.
"Hey Nick, right?" Tommy's smile reappeared on his face as a car pulled up behind him.
"Okay great, you're not getting what you came for and our pizza's here. I think you should go." I whispered and he nodded, still smiling up at Nick.
"Yeah, I'll see you later." He smirked as I rolled my eyes, watching him walk back down the driveway.

"Care to explain?" Nick asked, a grimace on his face and his brow was furrowed.
"There's nothing to explain." I answered as I paid the pizza guy, grabbing the large stack of pizzas. Before walking past Nick back into the living room, handing out the pizzas and finding a seat on the other side of Ryland.
"What happened?" Ryland whispered to Nick, who was clearly mad.
"Ask Ronnie. She won't tell me shit because there's nothing to explain." He growled in a whisper, making me roll my eyes.
"Nothing happened. Can we just talk about it later?" I asked, also in a whisper.
"Fine."
"Thank you."

I finished my pizza, and a couple more drinks, and checked the time to see that it was nearly 12.
"I'm going to bed." I said to those who were still awake.
"Good night. Your pills are on the kitchen counter, take one before you shower because they take thirty minutes at least to take effect." Josh ordered and I nodded.
"Okay, I will. Nick can I talk to you in the kitchen?" I asked, him nodding in agreement as he walked over to me, following me into the kitchen.
"So you've decided there is an explanation, then?" He asked, me rolling my eyes.
"Why are you acting like this?" I asked as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"What do you mean? I walk around a corner to see the girl I'm with talking to her ex boyfriend. What am I meant to do?" He asked as Josh walked around into the kitchen.
"I'm sorry, the girl you're what?"
