Chapter 13: They Don't Know Do They?

**Matt's POV**

I'm laying in the hospital bed replaying the events of the last 24 hours before my head begins to throb again. The doctor said I have a concussion, that I'll need 8 stitches in my hairline on the left side of my head and that I fractured my left arm in two places. The funny thing is...I don't feel any physical pain, right now, the only pain I'm feeling is emotional. I keep asking how Michelle is but they refuse to tell me...they say I'm not family so until she's released from the Intensive Care Unit, they can't legally tell me shit.

There is a knock on my door and I see Zacky, Johnny and Jimmy standing there. Ugh, I don't really need the third degree from them right now. I'm sure Jimmy has clued them in on what was going on and emotionally..I can't handle it right now.

"Hey man.." Johnny says sadly, "how are you feeling?"

I can't help but scoff, "I'm just fucking fantastic Johnny...I might have just killed the woman I'm in love with!"

Johnny and Zacky just look at each other with confused expressions. Shit, I guess Jimmy didn't tell them everything.

"Fuck man, you really whacked your head....Val is ok....Michelle is...." Zacky starts to say but doesn't finish his sentence before his eyes drop to the floor.

"She is what?!" I shout, "Please tell me she ok and that I didn't kill her! The doctors won't tell me shit!"

"She's in a coma Matt!" Jimmy yells and suddenly I can't catch my breath. I start to have a panic attack so Johnny runs to grab the nurse.

"I'm sorry guys but you need to leave!" she says forcefully then turns to look at their worries expressions and sighs, "I'll come and get you once he's calmed down, I promise."

They nod their heads and give me a small wave while making their way out of the room. The nurse attempt to get me to calm down but how can I? Michelle is in a coma and it's all my fault!

"P..pl..please, I..I can...I can calm d..down if I..I ca..can...see...M...Mich...Michelle!" I stammer out but the nurse just shakes her head no.

"Sir, I've already told you...if you're not family I can't even tell you about her condition let alone let you see her, I'm sorry." she replies while giving me an injection of something to help me relax. As my eyes drift close and I feel like I'm about to pass out I remember something....

...the engagement ring!

**Val's POV**

I wake up in a cold sweat and am confused by my surroundings...this isn't my house. I just had a horrible nightmare when Matt cheated on me with Michelle and then they got into a horrific car accident because they caught Brian and I fucking. My head is resting on someone's lap and they are lovingly rubbing my cheek. I turn my head upwards expecting to see Matt but instead, Brian looks down at me with sad, tear-filled eyes. I shoot up and realize that we are in the waiting room of the hospital and that I wasn't dreaming at all....I fainted! Matt really did cheat on me, Michelle really is in a coma, and I really did have sex with Brian!

I begin sobbing uncontrollably with my head in my hands. Brian tries to comfort me but I can't handle it right now, not after everything that happened. I jump up and rush towards the restrooms because I feel like I'm about to puke, but as I do, I run full force into someone and fall backwards onto my ass.....OUCH!

"Holy shit, Val!" Zacky says and lifts me off the ground, "are you ok? We didn't know you were here yet, have you seen Brian?"

I point my finger in the direction of the waiting room and push my way past the three of them. I wonder how they knew to come here? Maybe Brian called them while I was passed out.
