Joey comes in, "Alex!" He exclaims. I run into his arms, and hug him tightly. "It's gonna be all right, trust me," he whispers into my ear.

"Joey, I love you so much!" I exclaim, "but this is all my fault! My brother tried to hurt Chad!"

"Ssssh darling ssssh," he coos, "come on you need to rest." He leads me to a chair, and sits me down. "Go to sleep now, we'll talk in the morning." He kisses my head. "Night Joey, love you." He smiles, "You too, kid, now get some rest." I drift back off to sleep.

I awake the next morning, early. Why am I- oh wait. I see Caleb, Kelsey, Joey, Alan, and Fallon crowding around me.

"Morning beautiful," Alan says. I smile, "Good morning."

"We heard you had a rough night, hun," Kelsey says. I nod, "That's why Joey came down."

"Do you want some breakfast, kiddo?" Caleb asks. I nod, "Yes please!" Fallon smiles, "What would you like, sweetie." I shrug my shoulders, "Whatever you guys want is cool."

Joey gets wide-eyed, "Alan, can we go to IHOP?" Alan smiles, "Is that okay, Alex?"

I nod, "That's cool, but I don't wanna leave Chad alone."

"I'll stay with him!" Fallon, and Kelsey volunteer.

The guys and I head outside, "We'll all fit in my car, do you just wanna ride there?" Caleb asks. Alan smiles, "Yeah, let's do that." Caleb gets in the driver's seat, and Alan next to him. Joey and I sit in the backseat.

"Uh, can we stop at the house so I can change clothes?" I ask. Caleb smiles, "Sure kiddo, we'll stop there now."

"I'll be back," I promise, running inside. "Here, I'll come with you," Alan says. He follows me inside, and pets the dogs.

I run upstairs to my room. I get my favorite jeans, a tee, and a purple sweater that Kelsey picked. My tan boots match nicely so I put them on.

I head back downstairs, where Alan is. "You look nice," he compliments. "Thanks Alan!" I exclaim, hugging him. We walk back out and get into the car.

We go to IHOP and order tons of pancakes. After, we're all stuffed we go back to the hospital.

Chad is actually awake, but he still looks weak. "Hey," I greet him. "Hey kid," he says hugging me. I kiss his cheek, "How ya feeling?" I ask. He grins, "I could be better."

The guys are just now coming in. "Chaddy! Oh how I missed you!" Joey exclaims. "Really? Did you?" Chad asks smirking. Joey quickly shakes his head, "No! Now you'll blackmail me forever!"

Caleb, and Alan quickly greet their friend. "Uh, can I talk to him alone?" I ask everybody. They all nod, and step outside into the waiting room.

"What's up kiddo?" He asks, feebly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run away! Chad, you were right. I'm sorry, I just love you so much!" I ramble. Chad places his hand on my arm, "What are you talking about?"

"My brother was the one who robbed us. I should've listened to you, you were right," I clear up. "It's okay, honey, you believed what you thought you could. From now on, trust me. I kinda know what I'm talking about," he laughs.

"I love you, Chad. I promise I'll never run away again!" I exclaim. He smiles, "I love you too, Alex, and I know you won't."

"Do you get to come home today?" I ask him. He nods, "If my test results are okay, I should be able too." I jump up, "Yay! Kale misses you." He laughs, "Calm down there, killer." I smile, sitting back down.

Caleb and Joey come in. "Chaddy, the nurses said you could come home," Joey says. "They'll be in to unattach you soon," Caleb adds.

Susan and another nurse named Holly come in and detach all the wires and IVs.

"You're free to go, Mr. Graham, just take it easy for the next couple of days," Holly says. Chad nods, "I will. Thank you both."

I grab his hand, as we all walk towards the elevators. Fallon stops to sign him out, and we all go to the cars.

Fallon drives, and Chad sits next to her, and I'm in the backseat. Alan's dropping Joey off, and Caleb and Kelsey are going home.

We arrive home, and all walk towards the front door. "Babe, take it easy," Fallon reminds Chad before opening the door.
