"Please, Mrs. Spaulding, I'll be quiet-"

"Why is it so Goddamn hard to ever get you to just leave!? I swear I may as well be speaking to a wall. It's probably your fault he's here in the first place," she mumbled something about me being a 'filthy' something or other.

"Mom-stop!" Nick said standing up. "That's not fair; she deserves to be here, just as much as you or me. If she hadn't been with Aaron-"

"AH HA!" She exclaimed, was she always this loud? "See?! She must've done something!"

Aaron began to stir and his mom rushed toward me and actually pushed me out the door. I stood there for a minute just crying. How can one person hurt me this much? Oh wait, Jack can do it too. I walked out of the hospital and took out my cell phone.

"Hey, Julie...I need a ride."

"Why? Where are you? Is everything okay?" She quizzed.

"Because my ride here can't take me home, the hospital, and no..." By the time I got to "no", I was sobbing. I sat myself down in one of the chairs we'd been sitting in before.

"Excuse me..." A girl with blonde hair asked me as she walked up to me slowly. "Can you help me? I'm looking for someone."

"I don't work here, sorry..." I trailed off, sniffling.

"What?" I half-heard Julie ask while I ignored her for a moment.

"Well, maybe you've seen her - my mom - blonde hair, black jacket, really upset-"

"Les!" Another blonde girl called out as she rushed over to us. "Where'd Mom go?"

"Wait, Leslie?" I sat up straighter suddenly. "Are you Bobbie Jean?" I asked the other girl.

They both nodded. "Yeah..." Leslie said suspiciously.

"I'm Amy. Aaron's-" I paused. Should I really say it? Ugh, forget Ms. Spaulding. "I'm Aaron's girlfriend. He’s right this way..." I got up and started leading them down the hall, forgetting about Julie. "I'll call you back, Julez..."

I closed my phone and opened Aaron's room door for them, letting them walk in while I held it open. "They were looking for you guys, so I figured I'd help them out. I'll see you guys when you get home, I guess..." I said, looking at Nick and Angel and avoiding eye contact with their mom.

"Don't count on it!" Ms. Spaulding shouted back at me after I'd already walked away from the door.

"Mom! Stop! I mean it!" Nick exclaimed.

"She seemed nice, Mom..." I heard Leslie say. At least I made a good first impression on someone...

I dialed Julie’s number once again and waited for her to answer.

"Hey. Again."

"Hey yourself... What was that about?" Julie asked.

"Aaron's sisters, the ones I hadn't met..." I trailed off, once again sitting in the chair in the hall.

"What about them?"

"They were the ones I was talking to, I just met them, they were looking for him..."

"Wait, back-up a second. Aaron's in the hospital?!??" I explained everything that happened today, forgetting she wasn't there to see it all firsthand. "Oh my G- I'll be right there to get you." Click.

As I got up from the chair and began to walk to the front of the building, someone grabbed my shoulder and tried to turn me around. "Wait!" the mystery person exclaimed as I turned around.

I looked up and saw Nick with a sad expression on his face when he said, "Amy, I can't tell you how sorry I am..."

"Don't be sorry Nick, it's not your fault she, for some unknown reason, hates my guts...God knows you did more to help me out than Aaron when she and I first met," I half-joked, trying to wipe the sad look off his face, it was adorable and kind of sexy... Oh no! Not this again! My shoulder angel said. You are NOT going to start that, no way, nuh uh, no how!

I'm not trying to! I retorted mentally.

Girl, have you LOOKED at that boy lately?! The shoulder devil said as it too popped up. He is pretty hot.

He's our boyfriend's BROTHER! The Angel said half screaming...man I seriously need to get help...

I must've been staring at him because Nick said, "Uh...Amy...are you okay?"

"Huh, oh what?" I said snapping back to reality. "Yeah I was just um...thinking."

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Uh...I'd be lying if I said 'yes,'" I said with a grin.

He let out a sigh and smiled, "You're really somethin' else, you know that? Anyway, Aaron's up...well sort of, he still really groggy. But he keeps asking for you. Mom tried to tell him that you'd left cuz you got bored-"

"WHAT!?" I accidentally yelled, and was reminded by several nurses to keep it down. "Sorry," I whispered to them.

"She tried to tell him that, but Angel actually stood up and told Aaron the truth. He can obviously understand us, cuz he asked my mom to leave."

"He did?" I asked.

"Yup, and that's when he started telling us to find you, when I told him you were probably gone by now, he begged me to check just in case. So uh...here I am."

I picked up my phone and called Julie back, "Sorry Julez, I don't need a ride after all."

"Okay, keep me updated."

"Yeah, bye." Click. "Come on, lets go." I said to Nick as we walked back down the hall.

"Hey..." Aaron said wearily as we walked in the room.

"Hey." I replied.

"I'm glad you came back..."

"So am I."
