Sitting in the backseat of Honey's car, we were currently driving to the hospital. I had been asked so many questions from the police, i thought i was going to explode with annoyance.

-How did you know her

-When did this start

-Why didn't you tell the police in the first place?

Wiping away the tears that were still in my eyes, I kept going over the scene in my head. What if Tate dies? What if he's already dead.

Biting down on my lip, I let go of another annoying sob. As Honey suddenly hit the breaks on the car, my head collided with the back of the passenger seats chair.

"Fuck" I shouted while rubbing the middle of my forehead.

Honey unbuckled her seatbelt and spun around to face me with her face reddening by the second. Her caramel hair hung down in loose curls down her chest.

"Will you just shut the fuck up" She practically yelled in my face. My sobs automatically stopped, and my eyes widened.

"Will I shut up? Tate could be fighting for his life right now, and what? would you rather me talk to you about the freaking weather forecast" Hearing her mutter things in Spanish, I scoffed to myself.

What was actually going through her freaking mind. Seeing as she wasn't starting to car up, I undone my seatbelt and clambered out of the car while holding my heels in my hand.

"And where do you think you're going?!" She shouted from out of her car window. I laughed and span around to face her while still walking.

"I'm going to see my boyfriend!" Spinning back around, I heard her start her car back up. Driving her car slowly beside me, I looked at her annoyed expression and then back towards the street.

"He was my boyfriend as well" She said more calmly than her earlier tone.

Rolling my eyes, I ran a hand through my messy hair, and winced as I accidentally touched my treated wrist.

"So maybe we weren't head over heels in love, but we were something." She carried on.

Wrapping my arms around myself, I started to sniff my nose as the cold breeze had started getting to me.

"And then you came along, and now this has happened" Choking on nothing, I put my hand to my chest to try to calm myself down.

"You're saying all of this-" Motioning my finger in a circular motion -"is my fault?" Laughing bitterly, I ran the tip of my tongue over my teeth, and turned back to look at the street. I could see the hospital alot more clearly now.

"Maybe if you had noticed your daddy was getting it on with one of your school mates, all of this could have been prevented."

Stopping in my tracks once again, I felt like I had done that 100 times already tonight. Narrowing my eyes, I quickly walked ahead to stand in front of the car. Hitting her hands on the brakes, I placed my hands flat on the hood and glowered right into her mixed eyes.

"Get.out.the.car" I said slow enough so she could hear the seriousness in my voice.

"Tate's probably dying because of you, and you want to-" Slamming my fist on the hood, I arched my back and continued to stare at her.

"I said. Get out" Laughing under her breath, she held up her hands in defense and got out of her car in 1 swift move. Watching as she sauntered over to me in her six inch pastel pink heels, and white fitted jeans, I could feel the envy creeping up on me again.

"Don't you ever dare think that you have the right to talk about my father, just because you used to screw Tate, because you dont.

You're mad, upset, envious, I get it. But don't tell me that this whole situation is down to me, because trust me, when I woke up this morning, If I had the slightest hint that all this would happen today, I wouldn't have got up.-

So stop blaming me just because you don't know how to handle yourself right now." Watching the small smirk on her face disappear, she looked me up and down, Like she was summing me up or something.

Nodding her head shortly, she made her way back to the car, got back in and opened the passenger side.

"Hurry up then"

***

Once we got to the hospital, we both ran inside and went straight to the front desk.

"Tate Capetti, where is he?" I asked in a rush.

"Are you family?" The nasally woman asked while holding her clipboard tight to her chest.

"Yes" I lied "Now where is he godammit!" I started to get aggravated, and the poor women was only doing her job. Honey placed her warm hand on my shoulder to try to calm me down.

Turning to face her, I smiled weakly and then peered over her shoulder. Seeing Jared struggling to carry many cupped drinks, I sighed a sigh of relief.

Grabbing Honey's hand, we made our way over to his pale worn face. His hair looked like he had constantly been running his hands through it, and you could see the faint tear streaks fading on his tired looking face.

Seeing us, he had dropped the coffee's instantly and engulfed me into a hug. His fingers tangled in my hair as he held my head close to his warming chest.

"Caramel" He breathed. Even in this situation, he still would get my name wrong on purpose.

Letting me go, he outstretched his arm for Honey to take, but she declined before turning her head in the other direction.

"Tate. where is he? Is he okay, please tell me he's fine" Holding onto his jacket, I shook it the more he stayed quiet.

Looking away, I quickly put a hand by my mouth while I dropped the other. Backing away until I bumped into Honey, I shook my head violently.

"He's not. H-he can't be dead" Jared shook his head, but still looked towards the tiled floor.

"No, he's not de- he's not gone, they stabled him...it's just-"

"Just what!" Honey interrupted.

Glancing up at Honey, I could see the tears threatening to roll down her face. Her hands tangled in her hair, she pierced her eyes into Jareds.

Jared first looked at her with hurt, he looked at her the same way I or Tate would look at eachother, with love.

"He should have woken up by now, but he hasn't, Honey." He snapped. Clenching his eyes shut, he releaded them with a calmer expression.

Nudging her out of the way, he grabbed hold of my hand and began to drag me down the hectic halls. I was trying to scan them to see if I could spot my mom anywhere.

Finally reaching the rest of the Capetti's, I froze upon seeing their devastated faces. Francesca had her hair up messily done, while a large jacket drowned her body out. She had her eyes shut as she sat on the floor, and leaned her head against the wall.

Giovanni was smothered into his mothers chest, weeping his eyes out, while his mom put on a brave face.

Olivia and Evan sat up in the chairs, sniffling and wiping tears from Under their eyes, while River paced up and down the halls with Jensen.

"Excuse me" I whispered loud enough so they could all hear me. Tates mom first looked confused, but sent me a reassuring smile my way. No one else made a move to speak to me, or even get up to see if I was alright.

Why would they? It's not like you're the one in that room?

Biting down on my lip, I asked Jared if he thought it was okay that i went in, and he said that he saw no harm with it.

Swiftly sneaking into the room, I shut the door with my back facing his bed. Spinning around, I put my hand by my heart as i got surprised by seeing Elliott by Tates bed.

Turning his head, he looked back at me with fury in his eyes as his lips pursed.

"Im sorry, I didn't know you were in here. I'll go.-" about to open the door, I stopped midway as he called out stop.

"Even though I think you're just some bitch.....he thinks otherwise, so stay" softly closing my eyes with breath, I turned back around to face him with them open.

Sitting around the other side, I held onto his large hand and kissed his knuckles.

"Your girlfriends here now, you can stop pretending and wake up" Elliott whispered. Smiling to myself, I held onto Tates hand tighter while Elliott kept speaking softly to his brother.

"Do you remember that time i took you to the fair, and you saw this big green bear. You told me that you wouldn't go home until I got it?" Laughing to himself, he ran his fingers through his tousled hair, and smiled back at Tates pale face.

"So I tried to win it for you so many fucking times just stop you from moaning. I didn't stop until I didn't have any money left. So then you started throwing this ridiculous tantrum, i swear I wanted to punch you in the face so badly, everyone started to stare at us" He began to laugh a bit more softly.

"The guy behind the stall finally gave up and just gave you the stupid thing. You were so happy with yourself. Then on the way home, you ran off to that alley way behind mcdonalds, making me chase you all that way after we had just eaten 2 hotdogs. After all that, you gave that stupid bear to some homeless guy and told him that he'd never be lonely again, ever" The tears in his eyes, were now forming into droplets as they ran down his face slowly.

"You said that everyone should have someone that's there. And im so sorry because i wasn't there, I left you and I wasn't there Tate. You need to wake up so I can tell you that, okay?. And I swear to you, I'll go out there and bring you back the biggest green bear the world fucking has, you just have to wake up first" Not tearing my eyes from Elliott's vulnerable state, I creased my eyebrows sympathetically, his head was now on the side of Tates bed.

I'm guessing it was my turn

"You're such an idiot" I spoke while staring him straight in the face, I ignored the puzzled expression Elliott had sent me.

"Why'd you have to be so different? Why couldn't you have just told me to stay away from you? I was basically a stranger, have you never heard the phrase stranger danger?" Leaning in closer, so I could get a better look at his face, my frown deepened.

"You can't just come into someones life and then go awol? What were you even thinking? You left Honey, the Honey Sweet...for me?, you're definitely a lunatic" My voice began to break as I got to the end. Rubbing my thumb across his cheekbone, I leaned forward to place my lips on his. Kissing his dry lips, I backed off as I heard a small moan escape from his throat.

I obviously wasn't the only one that heard, as Elliott had widened his eyes in his brothers direction.

"Tate?" He said, slightly shaking his shoulders.

Scratching the back of my head, I looked back at a baffled Elliott.

"kiss him again" He said with curiosity hidden in his voice. Furrowing my eyebrows, I was about to say something but held my hands up in defense as he pointed to my lips and back this brother.

Taking a breath, I gently closed my eyes, and softly moved my lips to his. Feeling his lips tinge against mine, I then felt how a small smile fell onto his lips.

This was some sleeping beauty shit.

Breaking away so our lips were brushing against eachother, my eyes flickered to his opening eyelids. Elliott had already got up like a shot to get a doctor.

"Did you beat me up again?" He whispered through his hoarse voice. Wiping my eyes with the back of my hand, I didn't understand why I was even crying.

"Now, why would I do that?" I laughed through my teary voice. Moving his hand to dry my tears, I held it tight as he winced in pain.

"You're-" I started.

"Awake!" Francesca screeched. Scurrying over, she wrapped her hands arm around his wired body.

"Francesca, this isn't a fucking movie. This shit hurts" He winced breathlessly. I could tell he was still in a lot of pain, but was trying to hide behind his smile.

As I saw everyone gathering around him, I decided that I'd wait by the sidelines to speak to him.

Looking back at my wrist, I was starting to regret not getting the gash not fully checked over... because now....I was starting... to get a little..

and like that, I passed out.

Great.
