"Alright, Pip. I signed the papers, and everything is good. You can go." He said, entering the room.

Alex had left to go to the bathroom, and I was left ro change into clothing that Nick had brought.

I nodded, biting my lip.

"Nick?" I said, after a moment.

He came and sat down by me, sensing my uneasiness.

"Yeah, pip?" He asked.

"Mum and dad don't know... Do they?" I ask, voice shaking and lower lip quivering.

He wrapped an arm around me.

"No, they don't. I told them you were spending a few nights with me." He said.

"Thank you. I'm so sorry." I said, hugging him.

"No problem, pip. We all have shitty moments like this." He said, running his hand through my hair.

I nodded and we stayed like that for a bit.

"Nick?" I called again, biting my lip.

"Hmm? He hummed thoughtfully.

"I have to tell you something."

He backed me up.

"What is it?" He asked.

I looked into his eyes.

"I've had a crush on Alex forever, and he kissed me twice when I was taking care of him and once today after I woke up and he likes me back, too." I said all at once.

"Please, don't be mad." I begged.

"Sarah," he laughed. "I already knew. About your feelings towards one another."

"R-Really? How?" I asked.

"Yeah. Do you remember back in like, chapter 19 or summat,-"

"What?" I asked.

He stared at me for a moment.

"Nothing... Just, you remember the night you ran outside, and Alex had bloodied knuckles and all that?" He asked.

"The night Van kissed me, yeah. Why?" I ask.

"Alex and I took a little longer to get to the car. Because, we were having a discussion. He went outside and was trashing everything around him and punching the walls because he was angry. He thought you liked Van, and that made him upset to no end. He was trying to alleviate his anger. That night, he told me his feelings about you, and why he was doing what he was doing with... Her." He explained.

I nodded, surprised at the info.

Just then, Alex walked back in.

He smiled at us.

I had on a baggy Bowie shirt and my red pajama bottoms.

"She's been discharged, we can take her." Nick said.

Alex nodded.

"We can't take her home, she's too weak." Nick said, thoughtfully.

Alex perked up.

"She can stay at mine. She took care of me, so perhaps I can repay the favor." He suggested.

Nick nodded.

"Alright."

"Can you walk, pip?" He asked

I tried standing up, but collapsed against the bed.

My head was still a bit dizzy.

Maybe more than a bit.

I shook my head.

"Nick, could you grab my guitar?" Alex asked. "I've got this."

Nick nodded, standing up and grabbing Alex's guitar, as he walked over to me.

"Do you think you can hold onto me?" He asked.

I nodded.

He turned around and lowered himself slightly, moving his hands so I could climb onto his back.

I put my hands on his shoulders, and my legs around his waist and he lifted me up, holding me with no problem, as I wrapped my arms around his neck, careful not to choke him.

"Let's go." Alex said to Nick.

We began to walk out and a nurse watched us from down the hall.

When we got to her, she smiled.

"You have the kindest boyfriend ever." She said.

I felt a blush rise up to my cheeks, but before I could even correct the woman, Alex spoke.

"Thank you." He smiled sloppily and she smiles, nodding.

I burried my face into his neck.

So, was that his way of saying that we were dating now?

The heat lingered in my cheeks.

"Boyfriend, now?" I whispered as we continued to walk our way out to the car.

"Yes. Is that alright?" He asked.

"Are you asking?" I said.

"Yes. I just wanna be yours." He said.

I felt my breath hitching in my throat.

This was actually happening.

"Yes." I said.

"Yes... You'll be my girlfriend?" He asked, tone sounding unsure.

"Yes. I'll be your girlfriend." I said, smiling.

I saw the smile on his face from the side.

We reached the car, and Alex sat me down in the back swath carefully.

Him and Nick went to the front seats.

Then, we began driving.

When we reached Alex's home, he carried me bridal style.

He sat me on his couch and Nick came in for a cup of tea.

We all sat around talking and what not until Nicks phone rang.

Nick lookes at it and then tossed it to me.

I read the words that said Incoming call; Matty.

I pressed answer, and held the phone up to my ear.

"Hello?" I said.

"S-Sarah?!" Matty exclaimed on the other end.

"Hi, Matty." I said.

"Thank fucking god that you're okay, Fuck, don't you dare ever do that to me again, it was Fucking horrifying and I was so bloody worries!" He let out all at once.

I chuckled.

"I'm sorry about that... But I'm okay... I'm at Alex's with Him and Nick." I said.

"Text the address, I'm coming over." He said.

Then, he hung up.

I laughed, sending off the text and then handing the phone back to Nick, announcing ro the boys that Matty was going to make his way over.

~~~

A ring came to the door and Alex went to answer it.

I heard a few words between them.

"I'm sorry for trying to kick you out." Matty said.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you. You were just trying to protect her, and I was a Fucking idiot." Alex said.

I smiled and watches Matty come in the room.

He was wearing black skinny jeans, a Joy Division shirt, a jacket, and red lipstick.

"That's a nice shade on you." I commented.

"Shut up." He said, rushing over to hug me.

I hugged the boy back.

I'm glad that he was there.

Though, it made me miss Van a bit.

We all shares conversation for the next hour or so, clearing the tense air.

I grew tired soon, and Nick and Matty took their leave, abd Alex carried me to the bedroom, laying me down, and laying down with me, my head resting on his chest.

He kissed my head and rubbed my arm.

This was absolutely amazing.
