Okay, so any of the medical info I have in this chapter I got from some website called OrthoInfo. I apologize if it is not correct, but that is what I am going off of.

It felt like time stood still as Oliver sat in the waiting room of the busy hospital. He ignored the stinging of the cuts and bruises on his skin as he waited to hear about his injured girlfriend.

There had been a long silence following the accident and Liv was in so much pain, she was barely able to cry, let alone talk to him.

He had been sitting there for nearly twenty minutes before the doors burst open and he saw his dad hurry to him. "Are you okay?"

He nodded and shrugged. "I'm fine. We got hit by another car on Liv's side."

"How is she?" He asked quickly and took in his son's frantic look.

"I don't know. They haven't come out yet and I'm really worried, Dad." He sighed. "She was awake when they brought us in but she could barely talk and she was in pain."

"Olivia Anderson-Hummel?"

They looked up and saw her doctor standing in the doorway. They went over to him. "I'm her boyfriend. We are staying with my dad this weekend. Is she okay?"

He sighed. "She will be fine. It wasn't severe, but she did fracture her scapula. That's in her shoulder." He said at the confused look on Oliver's face. "She will need to wear a sling for a few weeks but she should be able to go back to her regular activities in four to six weeks. She will still be sore, but it will be okay to do so by then. We do want to keep her overnight, though."

Jesse nodded. "Thank you very much."

The doctor sighed then. "I am, however, worried about the scars on her wrists. I think she may have a cutting problem."

"Excuse me?" Jesse asked as Oliver sighed.

"Those are old scars. She hasn't cut herself in a long time. She got help for it." He explained and the doctor gave him a pitying look.

"I know that it might be a scary subject, but it does need to be addressed if she is going to get better." He said slowly.

Oliver stared at him. "She is fine and it has been addressed! I just told you that those are old scars and she is getting better. You do not need to be worried about that right now, okay? Just worry about her shoulder."

He sighed and nodded. "Fine. I will check on her in a bit. You can see her in a few minutes. I will send a nurse out for you."

He walked away and Jesse turned to him. "Oliver…"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I didn't want you to judge her before you met her. It's her business, not mine."

Jesse shook his head. "I know that. I understand that. I would never judge her for that." He told his son, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Is she okay now?"

Oliver nodded truthfully. "She had a rough time a few months ago, but she's okay now. Honestly, she is."

He nodded. "Okay then. I believe you."

They looked up as they saw a man run into the waiting room and approach the nurse's station. "I got a call about my niece."

"What is her name, sir?"

"Olivia Anderson-Hummel. She was in a car accident." He said quickly.

"Are you Cooper Anderson?" Oliver asked him from where he stood and the man turned to him.

He nodded. "I can't sign any autographs right now, kid. Family emergency."

Oliver shook his head. "I'm Liv's boyfriend."

He walked over to the boy. "What happened? The hospital called me when they brought her in, I guess she asked them to."

He sighed. "That makes sense. We were hit by another car. It was his fault, not ours."

He nodded and shook Jesse's hand. "Is she okay?"

Oliver shrugged. "The doctor just came out to talk to us."

Jesse took over for his son. "She had a fractured scapula. He said it should be healed in four to six weeks and it wasn't severe. He is sending a nurse when we can see her."

Copper sighed. "Thank God."

"I'm sorry we had to meet this way." Oliver said suddenly.

Cooper nodded. "Me too, kid."

The nurse came to get the a few minutes later and as much as he wanted to make sure his girlfriend was okay, Oliver let Cooper go in first.

When he got inside, he was sick at the sight of his niece sitting up in her bed, a pale look on her face. "Hey, Liv."

She groaned. "Uncle Cooper…"

He walked forward and kissed her head. "How are you feeling?"

She tried to shrug out of habit and whimpered in pain. He nodded. "That good, huh?"

"I can't believe my shoulder is screwed up right before Nationals." She complained and he shook his head.

"Just like your dads…always thinking about glee club." He said with a small smirk as the door opened and her doctor walked in.

"I assume you are Cooper Anderson? She asked us to call you as we brought her in." He said as he greeted the man.

Cooper nodded. "I'm her uncle. Her parents live in Ohio, so I'm the closest relative she has here."

The doctor nodded. "Well then I guess you are the person to talk to. As I was telling your friends out there, she fractured her scapula but it was not severe. She got lucky. She will be fine to resume her regular activities in about four to six weeks."

"Right before Nationals." Liv sighed. "Thank God."

They ignored her comment and the doctor sighed again. "However, there is another issue we should talk about."

"What is it?" Cooper asked quickly.

"When I was examining your niece, I found many cuts on various places of her skin." He informed them. "I am concerned that she may need help to deal with this."

"They are scars." Liv said immediately, her voice rising. "I haven't cut in a long time."

"I understand how hard it can be to understand that you have a problem, but we can help you. Cutting is a serious issue in teens today and with help, it can get better." He said quickly.

She nodded. "I know. I got help. These are old."

He shook his head and looked at Cooper. "There are many places that are willing to help her, but since she is eighteen, it is her choice. But she will need to be convinced by those around her. I suggest trying to get her some help as soon as you can."

"Uncle Coop, I swear these are old." She said quickly and he could tell she was starting to panic.

Cooper put his hand on her uninjured shoulder. "Thank you for the concern but she's fine. My niece did need help at one time, but she got it and now she is better."

The doctor sighed, dissatisfied with his suggestion being passed on. "Fine. I will be back to check on her in a little while."

Cooper watched him leave, before turning to her. "Is that the truth?"

She bit her lip. "A few weeks ago, I had a panic attack that led to me cutting and puking." She looked down as she sat next to her. "Danny showed up and got help. Uncle Finn managed to calm me down and Danny and I made up. Dad and Daddy know about it and I've been fine since." She paused. "Just really disappointed in myself."

He nodded. "I know. But it'll be okay. We know that you aren't completely cured. You will have days like that sometimes. But you are definitely better than you used to be."

"Thanks, Uncle Coop." She smiled and he nodded.

"You know, Oliver is as cute as Kurt said he was." He smirked.

"Uncle Cooper!" She chuckled. "Can he come in?"

Cooper nodded and opened the door. Immediately, Oliver ran in and kissed her gently. "Are you okay?"

She nodded. "I hurt…a lot. But I will fine."

Cooper and Jesse stood back and watched them together.

"They're really in love." Jesse said quietly as he watched his son carefully lay in bed with his girlfriend and hold her closely.

Cooper nodded and sighed, crossing his arms across his chest. "They really are. The way my brother talks about him, it seems like he really has helped her through all of this."

"I think she's helped him, too. He had to deal with a lot from my ex-wife and her husband and until he met her I didn't know how he would handle it. Then he started talking about her and I could tell that he was doing well."

"They do make a cute couple." Cooper commented.

A little while later, her nurse came in and told everyone that they had to leave for the night. Liv immediately clutched Oliver's arm and sent a pleading look to her uncle. When the nurse wouldn't give in, Cooper took charge.

"Hi." He shook her head and her eyes bugged out of her head.

"Oh my Gosh…you're Cooper Anderson! I love your movies." She said quickly.

He chuckled. "Well, thank you. I was wondering if you could do me a favor."

She nodded. "Anything."

"Can you please allow my niece's boyfriend to stay the night with her? She hates hospitals and will probably freak out if he is forced to leave."

She hesitated and then sighed. "I suppose it shouldn't be a problem. I will put it in her chart."

He smiled at her. "Thank you very much."

When Liv had finally fallen asleep a few hours later, Oliver stayed awake and continued to hold her. He was so afraid that he'd lost her and his heart had only just started to go back to its normal rhythm. He laid in bed with her, careful not to touch her injured shoulder, and stroked her hair.

"I love you." He whispered into her hair and let himself drift into a restless sleep.
