I'm waiting in a hospital chair till I can walk in and see Zach. His mom is in there along with his dad. I'm here with his sis and little brother.

His mom walks out and signals his siblings and I in.

We all walk in and I see him. Broken leg, brusied eye, and his stomach looks damaged.

Tears fill my eyes and fall down my cheeks. After ten minutes his mom signals his siblings out.

He looks at me and smiles. I lay by him on the bed, "so, what happened?" I ask him. "Ugh, do you really wanna know?" He asks, "well does it involve Bryan?" I ask him.

Theres a long puase, "yes." That was all the answer I needed. He turns his head and I turn mine looking in his eyes.

He runs his fingers through my hair and smiles. "How are you?" He asks me, "shouldn't I be asking you that?" I ask him. He laughs, "well yah but, I wanna hear about you." He says.

I exhale, "well I really missed you. And was worried as hell about you." I say, he kisses my head. "Sorry, in a week or two they said they'll send me home." He says.

"That seems like so long. Well since my mom doesn't care about me or what I do. And my dad is literally never around, I'm staying here overnight." I say.

I pull out a cover and pillow from my backpack I brought. Then take of my shoes, and jacket.

Hry, brb im gonna change in the bathroom." I say he nods and I leave.

Zach's P.O.V...

Pain fills my body if I try making even the slightest move. Bryan caught me by suprise. And I wasn't gonna fight him because I'm a real man.

So, he beat me till I bled and my vision blured. It's too bad that Carmella thinks he's a good person.

She walks in wearing long pastel pink pajama pants, a matching tank top. And a white little sweater over her. She slips into her white slippers and sits on the couch only seven steps away from me.

"What do you wanna watch?" She asks as she flips through the channels.

"A movie, those are always good." I say, she takes a minute to find one. Then ends up turning on Catching Fire.

"I love this movie." I say with a raspy voice. She looks at me and smiles weakly.

I know she hates seing me like this, and I hate it too. "Do you want me to go get us food?" She asks.

"What, hospital food?" I ask, she nods. I groan and nod. "Okay, brb. Stay put I'll be quick." She says.

Then with that she's gone. I look around the room. Bryan did this, and I can't even tell Carmella.

It'll hurt her too much if I tell her what he really did. I whatch the movie and time passes by.

Then, she walks in setting a plate of food on my tray and sitting down to eat hers.

The food is peas, chicken, grapes, and a cup of chocolate pudding. I eat the pease and scarf down the chicken.

"This is konda horrible, but i'm starving." I say to her, she laughs. I eat all my grapes and half my pudding.

"Here, let me take this, she leaves the room to throw away our garbage.

She only ate her chicken, three grapes, and left her spoon and pudding on the couch.

I go back to whatching the movie to try not focusing on the pain.

Carmella gets her pillow and cover from the floor and puts it on the long couch.

She gets in her cover and lays on the pillow. "Goodnight." She says, "goodnight." I say, she closes her eyes and I keep mine open.

I look out the large window and see the city lights. Being in a hospital isn't fun, but why would it be.

I wonder to myself if Carmella will go to school tomorrow. But it's a long shot if she does.

I feel my eyelids getting dry and heavy. My body shutting down and I drift off to sleep.

"Zach wake up, come on you have to wake up." I wake up to Carmella shaking me and trying to wake me up.

"Why do I have to wake up?" I ask sleepily. "Because you have to eat so you can take your pill. That's what the doctor said." She says.

I prop myself up feeling a long sharp pain in my torso. "Here." She sets a plate of food on my tray.

Two chocolate chip pancakes, a strip of bacon, and fruit. I start eating. And drink some orange juice.

The eggs are beyond bland, no pepper or cheese. Just salt, I  scarf them down and wash out the taste with the juice. I eat a pancake and my bacon.

"I have to go to school. My mom is coming by to take me, so take your pill real quick so I can know." She says.

I take my pill with my juice and a swallough then eat another bite of pancake.

"K, bye." She says. She kisses my forehead and leaves the room. A doctor walks on and takes my plate.

"Okay, how are we doing today?" She asks me. "Meh." I say, she looks at me. "Not to good aye?" I shake my head.

"Well, your pain killer should kick in in about thirty minutes to an hour." She takes my tray and sets it asside.

"What is this cover and pillow?" She asks. "Oh, my girlfriend's." I say. She nods, "very well."

She makes it neater and sets Carmella's backpack in the corner of the room.

"I'll be right back to assist you." She says, I nod and she leaves the room.
