I rolled onto my side, a bunch of tubes that were hooked up to my arm tugging me back onto my back. I opened my eyes, seeing the darkness out my window and groaned. I brought my hands up to my face, rubbing my eyes, and yawned. I half expected to see CC at my side, but I knew he couldn’t stay sitting, or laying down for a long amount of time unless he was asleep. I looked around the room, seeing the curtain pulled back slightly. There were seven figures standing at the end of my curtain, recognizing one of them as CC. I closely studied the other figures, only recognizing two out of the six remaining. A female with long, electric purple hair bounced on her toes as her fingers tapped on her thigh; it almost looked as if she were playing the piano. Hannah. Another girl was standing next to her, just a hair shorter than Hannah. She had her hands clenched into fists at her side, tapping her toes rapidly. Becca. My girls came back for me. I wonder how things went at University. Did they make the scholarship program? When are they moving? What University were they going to study at? What were they going to major in? Were they going to come home every once in a while? Are they going to forget about me? A million questions swirled through my head, each one demanding my attention. I saw a man wrap his arm around Becca’s shoulders, trying to get her to calm down. My eyebrows knit together, trying to figure out who this person was but I didn’t recognize him. I sighed heavily, sitting up onto the pillows that were propped against my back.
“Ayeee! She’s alive!” I heard a man’s voice blurt out; interrupting the peaceful silence I was in. A bunch of other cheers came from the group as they all turned toward me. I caught gazes with CC, a glowing smile lit across his face as I questioned him with a look. I saw Hannah walk toward me first, Becca shrugging the man’s arm off of her and followed behind her.
“I’m so glad you’re okay.” Hannah said, hugging me. She backed away as Becca came over and hugged me as well. God did I miss her hugs. Okay, I know that might sound a little weird, but Becca had the most comforting hugs; it literally felt like she was sprinkling sunshine and rainbows over you.
“Me too. I missed you guys, like, a lot. So, Europe… I need the whole scoop. Every. Single. Detail. Got it?” They nodded in agreement, letting the other guys step through. CC walked around my bed, taking my left hand in his. He flipped on the light, blinding me and everyone else in the room. “Sorry!” He retorted as I laughed softly. My eyes wandered around the room, taking in everyone before they returned to CC.
“Why is your band here?” I said quietly, hoping only he could hear.
“Because Lover boy here won’t stop running his mouth about you!” Ashley shouted, answering the question for CC. I reached over to the table by my bed and threw a stuffed animal at him. “You’re being to fucking loud.” I spat at him, my head felt like someone was trapped inside and was taking a hammer to my head trying to break my skull open.
“Hey now, no throwing animals at me!” He said just as loud as before. I glared at him before Hannah walked over to his side, taking the material of his shirt in her hands, gave him a seductive look, and pulled him out into the hallway. Holy hell, what’s happening? I shook my head as CC started to formally introduce all the band members to me. Andy was leaning against the wall, looking down at his feet; Jinxx was still standing by the curtain, talking on the phone, quickly getting off of it; and Jake had his arm around Becca’s waist in a protective position.
“Would someone like to tell me why my best friend just gave Ashley the ‘look’ and why Becca is cuddled up to Jake? And why everyone is here?!” I looked around the room, daring someone to speak up and answer my question. Holy fuck, hope everyone’s ready for my anxiety! All eyes landed on CC, expecting him to answer for them. He started to stumble over some word and handed it over to Jinxx, since he was best with words.
“Well, Chris told us that you woke up after three days in a coma, then fell back asleep and went back in for another four days. So, being the concerned friends we are, the band made our way here to support CC and your friends flew in from the UK, they heard the news about you and left straight from the airport and came here. As for the back story on Ash and Han, you should ask them...” I interrupted him, anger boiling inside of me.
“Excuse me? Did you just call her Han?” I turned to CC, “Did he seriously just call her Han?” I asked astonished, turning back to Jinxx. “You’ve only known her for a few days and you’re already calling her Han? You don’t even know half of her story.” I turned my attention to Jake who still had his arms around Becca. “Do you even know who she really is? Did you grow up with her? Did you aid her in your dark times?” I blew up, every word I spat out, hit them like a bullet. I heard CC say something to everyone, causing them to start walking out of the room, but I caught Becca’s eye. How could she betray me like this? I screamed at myself. I started taking huge breaths of air, ripping the oxygen tubes out of my nose, throwing it to the ground.
CC rested his hand on my cheek, “Hey, shhh it’s alright. Just calm down, its okay.”
“No! It isn’t okay! They betrayed me! My best friends left me for some rock stars.” I blurted out, biting my bottom lip angrily.
“They didn’t betray you. They found a person that they love, just in a different way that we found each other. Think of it this way,” He was trying to get my mind off of it; I knew he would do this, but it always calmed me down, it always help. “, if it was us, and you just met me three days ago, and you knew that I was your soul mate what would you do?” I sighed in defeat, sinking back into the pillows.
“You’re right, you always are.” I said quietly, averting his eyes. That was something that I had never said to him, because I knew the way that he would react.
“I know I am, and it took you this long to figure it out. You’d think after seventeen years of friendship you would catch on...” I could hear the smirk through his words, and I wanted nothing more than to wipe it off his face.
“Asshole.” I murmured into my shoulder. He raised his eyebrows at me, tilting my chin up to look at him, an evil smile resting on his lips.
“So, I’m an asshole for saving your life, am I?” I rolled my eyes as he brought our lips together. I melted into the kiss quickly. Goodness, why does he always do this to me? He smirked on my lips, knowing he had won this match.
Our lips moved in sync, not daring to pull apart as each one of us battled for dominance in the kiss, but I quickly gave up, pulling apart for air. As soon as I got my breath back, he pulled me back in; kissing me with a sense of passion I had never felt before. I returned the passion easily, resting my hand on the side of his neck as he settled his on the nape of mine. Footsteps entered the room, stopping instantly. They probably saw us. Eh, who gives a fuck? I thought as my mind reentered the mood between CC and I. A short while after the first pair of footsteps entered the room another entered. I heard multiple people whistle at us as they spotted CC and I kissing. Ashley being the instigator that he is yelled “Get a room!” at us. CC and I pulled apart, raising our hands, flipping him off and resumed where we had left off in the kiss.
