This will be in Carter's POV btw. Don't worry it will change back to Kali's POV in the next updates.

Carter's POV:

Brad and I rushed into the hospital and to Kali's room. The door was slightly open. I walked in first. Brad followed behind me. We walked over to Kali's bed. She was sitting up in her bed.

"Hey." I smiled.

"Hey." Her voice was quiet.

"How are you feeling?" Brad asked.

"Horrible, how long was I out?" She rubbed her eyes and patted a spot for one of us to sit on. I walked over to her and sat down at the end of her hospital bed while Brad sat beside us in the chair.

"For two months." Brad sighed.

"Oh my gosh what!? Two months!?" Kali panicked.

"Brad what the hell?" I glared at him.

He chuckled. "I'm just kidding. It's only been a day."

Kali let out a long breath and pushed her hair out of her face. "Wow I hate you." She gave Brad a dirty look.

"I'm sorry I just had to do it." Brad sheepishly smiled.

"Not cool bro." I shook my head.

"You two have to admit that was funny."

"Okay it was a little." I admitted. Kali gave me a little push. I looked over at her. Her face looked just like Brad's but worse. She had more bruises on her face than Brad. "I'm glad you're okay." I put my hand onto her thigh and smiled.

"Yeah me too." She sighed. "Have you two been here all night?" Brad and I both nodded. "You two do know you could of went home."

"We couldn't leave you." I said. She smiled and wrapped her arms around me. She winced a few times but still kept hugging me. I gently pulled her closer to me and wrapped my arms around her. I love having her in my arms and beside me. She always gave me this warm feeling inside.

The door flew open scaring the living shit out of us. Kali pulled away from me. I couldn't help but frown. In came Luke with flowers and balloons in both of his hands. "Nobody bothered to come get me over at my friends house!?" Luke walked over to Kali and hugged her. He even kissed her cheek. "I made my friend stop so I could give you these." He gave her the flowers which were red roses. Then he tied the balloon strings to her bed. On some of the balloons it said 'get well soon' and the other ones were plain and didn't say anything on them.

"Aw thank you so much Luke. That's so sweet of you." Kali smiled.

"You're welcome. I'm just glad you're okay." Luke said. Kali looked down at the roses and smelled them. Us three boys just stared at her. Probably making her feel uncomfortable. But we couldn't help it. She's so beautiful. All I want to do is cuddle up next to her and kiss her and tell her how much she means to me but I couldn't because more and more people started to come into the room.

"Oh my baby!" Kali's mom ran towards her and hugged her. She started crying and telling her how much she loves Kali. Then my dad hugged Kali. After that Shawn and Noah came in hugging her too. I could tell Kali was getting overwhelmed by all of us in here. I guess I should give her some space. I went to get up but someone's hand grabbed onto mine giving me a tight squeeze. It was Kali's hand. She mouthed the word 'stay'. Of course I stayed with her.

"I'm sorry guys but can I have some time alone?" Kali asked.

"Yeah I should probably get back home and get Noah changed and feed him. I will see you soon Kali." My dad waved goodbye. Noah followed my dad and so did Shawn and Luke.

"I'll come back. I will run home and get you some clean clothes. Okay?" Her mom said.

"Okay mom." Her mom hugged her and then left.

"I'll leave so you two can talk. I will come back with your mom tonight to see you again." Brad got up and hugged her. He kissed her forehead and left. Leaving me and Kali alone.

"Do you mind if I lay with you in this uncomfortable bed?" I asked.

"No I don't mind. I would like it a lot actually."

I smiled and crawled up to where she is at. I got under the covers with her and pulled her into me. My front against her back. I rested my chin on her shoulder. "You're so beautiful." I mumbled.

"Beautiful? I'm far from beautiful..have you seen me?"

"Yes I have and you're still beautiful." I rubbed my face into her neck, making her giggle. She turned around and was now facing me. I quickly kissed her lips and then left wet kisses all over her face.

"Oh my gosh Carter stop!" She giggled again.

I chuckled. "Okay, okay I'll stop." I looked into her eyes and gave her a half smile. "I missed this. I missed being with you, talking to you. I really am sorry Kali about that girl in Hawaii. I don't know what I was thinking? I was just being a idiot when I kissed her. She meant nothing to me. I was drunk and upset and did something so stupid. I regret it so much. I wish I could take it back."

She didn't say anything to me. I felt like a horrible person. Was she mad at me again? Should I have brought it up now or waited. Surprising me, she crashed her lips into mine. I gently kissed her back. I was too afraid of hurting her so I didn't deepen the kiss. Her bottom lip is still swollen and looked like it hurt so I didn't kiss her roughly. Oh but how I wanted to so badly. She pulled away and looked into my eyes. "Don't be afraid to kiss me. I promise you won't hurt me." She said.

"I know." I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her into me. She rested her head against my chest. I started playing with her hair. "Why didn't you tell me about your dad?"

"It wasn't something I could just bring up out of nowhere."

"You could of told me though. I mean you obviously must have told Brad about him. Why not me? Do you trust me?"

"I do trust you. I just don't like talking about my dad and I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

I sighed. "It is a big deal. He use to hurt you and now he hurt you again. I just want you to be safe. I want to protect you. I'm not trying to argue. I'm just worried about you that's all."

"I know." She softly spoke.

"I like you a lot, Kali." I kissed her forehead. "I care about you. I really do. I would do anything for you and I will always be here for you no matter what." I promised.

She kissed my cheek and then rested her head back onto my chest. "Thank you Carter."

"For what?" I asked.

"Being in my life."

"Now you're the one saying the cheesy comments." I chuckled.

"Oh no I'm turning into you." She laughed.

"Oh the horror." I slapped a hand over my mouth.

"You're so cute." She looked up at me.

"But you're cuter." Why am I so cheesy????

"We are going to have to stop hanging out with each other because we are turning into those one really annoying couples."

"Oh so we are a couple now?" I raised an eyebrow.

She blushed. "You know what I meant."

"Do I?"

"Carter stop it."

I chuckled. "I'm just kidding." I yawned. "We should take a nap. I could use one."

"Take a nap? But I just woke up."

I sighed. "Alright, I guess we don't have to take a nap. We can just watch a movie and cuddle. Oh and kiss a lot." I smirked. She rolled her eyes but had a small smile on her face.

"So...you're staying here? Shouldn't you go home and take a shower and change or eat?"

"Yes I should but I won't."

"Great..I have to deal with you some more."

"Hey!"

She let out a little laugh and wrapped her arms around me. "You know I like dealing with you."

"You better." I poked her cheek.

"I do." She smiled.

AW they're so cute!

I made another update. It needs some editing but I could finish it up and have it out by tomorrow. Should I update again or nah?
