I see Janet beside me taking my blood pressure.

"Sweetie you're gonna be fine." She says, giving me a warm smile. A smile that I have not gotten in so long.

I groan, my head feels like a thousand needles is prickling me at the same time. Once Janet finishes measuring my blood pressure, I lift my hand up to touch my head. I feel a bandage wrapped around my head. I turn my head a little to face Janet.

"What happened to me?" I ask her. "Why am I in the hospital?" My voice barely coming out.

"Sweetie, you were hit in the head. But you're fine. Everything is going to be okay now." She offers me a small smile, holding my hand in between hers.

But I can't register her words, why would I be hit in the head? I don't understand.

I squint, the light in the room is too bright for my eyes. "But who would do that?" I ask her again. She's not making any sense.

"Its Claire." She answers, quietly. "She must've thrown a liquor bottle at you." She says, her eyes holding so much sadness.

At the mention of Claire's name, my eyes go wide, as the scene replays like a haunting movie before my eyes. The shouting. The smell of alcohol. The blood. I remember everything now, Claire did this to me. Tears begin to fall down my face, as I recall the event.

"Claire. She- she did this to me. She-" I start to cry. "I was just trying to help and she-"

"Shh sweetie you're alright now. She won't hurt you anymore." She says, wiping the stray tears from my face. "She's taken care of. Don't you worry about a thing."

"What? What do you mean she's taken care of?" I ask her, curious as to why she would say that.

"Matt informed the police about what happened. She's in jail now." She explains to me.

I have mixed feelings of emotions running in my body right now. The woman who has made my life a living hell is finally in jail. But why am I not happy? Why do I feel sorry for her?

"Sweetie I think you should get some rest okay? I'm going to go check on the other patients. Matt will be here soon." She tells me, and stands up to leave.

"Janet? Did you call my dad?" I ask her.

"No. Matt took care of it. Now get some rest okay?." She says and leaves the room, closing the door behind her.

Will dad finally believe me now? If he doesn't, well then I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave the house. I don't think I'll be able to live there, because I'll be reminded of Claire every second. I need to be free from her, this time for real. I'm not sure whether I'm relieved or sad that this is over, but I do know one thing. I need to see Claire one last time. I need the closure I deserve.

"Hey look who's finally decided to grace us with her presence?" I hear Matt coming inside the room. I turn my head to look at him and see that his face is hidden by the balloons he's holding in his hands.

"Really Matt? Balloons?" I chuckle lightly. I'm still afraid to move much because it hurts a lot worse everytime I move a bit.

"What? You don't like them?" Math pouts, feigning hurt as he put his hand over his heart.

"No I love them. Only one would have suffice, though. Now the room's almost full of balloons." I tell him, giving him a small smile.

"Yeah. I suck when it comes to presents." He says, scratching the back of his head. "But I have another surprise! You'll love it I promise." Matt grins.

"I think the balloons are enough for the day." I say.

"Just wait." He says and opens the door.

I feel everything around me pause for a minute when I see Lucas walking in the room. I suck in a breath at the same time his eyes meet mine. I think my heart just stopped.

"See I knew you'd love this one!" Matt says grinning, in contrast to the expression of both Lucas and I.

Lucas looks as if he's about to cry, and I think I cried already. He's here. He's standing right in front of me. If not for all the wires holding me down, I'd jump right out and hug him.

"Amelia." He says. He's really here.

Oh no he's here! Which means he knows. He's probably only here out of pity. My face falls suddenly when I remember how he asked me to leave when I confessed to him. All the embarrassment and the hurt that I felt from that night is coming back now.

"No." I say, looking away from him, putting my gaze on Matt. "Matt I don't wanna see him. Please let him leave." I say, still looking at Matt. I can see Lucas frowning from my peripheral vision, when I said that.

"Ems you're being stubborn. Give him a chance at least." Matt pleads.

"Amelia just give me one more chance. I promise I won't let you down this time." Lucas says approaching me.

I slowly turn my gaze at him, his eyes filled with so much sadness, my heart aches for him. I'm about to answer him when the doctor comes in.

"I'm going to do a check up on her. It'd be great if one of you could stay with her." The doctor says to both Matt and Lucas.

"I'll leave." Matt quickly states, leaving the room.

Lucas looks relieved that Matt decided to go instead of him. I ignore him and give my attention to the doctor instead.

"Miss, have you had any severe headaches since you got conscious?" The doctor asks, feeling my pulse on my wrist.

"Yeah my head's been hurting a lot." I flinch.

"Okay. Do you feel nauseous?" He asks again.

"No." I eye Lucas and see that he looks really worried.

"Alright. That's good. You're gonna be fine Miss. The nurses will give you a dose of painkiller for the headache. The headache is normal after a head injury so you don't need to worry about it." The doctor offers me a sweet smile.

"Doc is her head okay? I never got the results of her CT Scan." Lucas asks him.

"Yes her head is fine. We were afraid she might have suffered some skull fracture but she's lucky the bottle was empty so the impact was less on the skull." The doctor explains.

"So it didn't effect her brain in any way right?" Lucas asks further.

"Lucas he said I'm fine. Let it go." I warn him.

The doctor chuckles, "You're lucky you have such a caring person for a husband. He must really love you." He smiles.

I gasp at the same time Lucas smirks. I glare at him, he just smiles back at me.

"Yes she sure is lucky." Lucas says with a smug expression.

I roll my eyes at him, if it hadn't been for the headache, I'd fight him. I know I'm only torturing him because I'm too ashamed about how I told him I loved him. That has got to be the most unromantic way to confess to someone in history.

After the doctor leaves, the room feels smaller with only Lucas and I inside the room. I look at him and see that he's fidgeting near the door. He seems as much uncomfortable as I am right now. Its almost awkward like meeting an ex after a terrible break up. Exes, is that what we are now? Were we even together in the first place? I'm not sure. But the grip he has on my heart, I swear it could make me brave enough to do anything for him.

"Amelia." Lucas speaks up, breaking me from my thoughts.

I see him coming closer to me, sitting beside the bed, taking one of my hands in his. The touch from his hands alone ignite a thousand flames within me. I suck in a breath, my mouth suddenly feeling dry.

He looks at me, his hazel green eyes never leaving mine. "Amelia I'm sorry." He finally says.

"I am so sorry. I should have listened to you. I didn't know that you were going through all this. And I got mad at you for lying to me. I'm sorry Amelia. I was a jerk. Not I'm the biggest asshole there is!" He says.

"And a douchebag too." I add.

"Yes and a douchebag! The douchest-bag there is!" He exhales.

I break into a smile at that. "That didn't make sense at all." I laugh.

I can see the relief in his eyes when he saw me laugh. His face slowly contoures into a laugh, laughing along with me.

"Amelia I really am sorry." He says kissing the back of my hand. The kiss making the butterflies come alive in my stomach.

"I know. Its okay." I give him the first genuine smile I had given him in a while.

"Amelia I thought I should tell you this. I know this may be kind of a shitty way to say it here but I really need you to know this now." He breathes.

"Amelia I-" he begins to say.

"Amelia!" My father comes in to the room cutting Lucas from finishing what he was trying to say.
