Chapter Six: The Feelings Are Shed

Hadley sits in the bathroom. "He never mentioned any of this shit when we were together for the past ten freakin' months," she says to herself crying.

"Ellie?" asks a very soft and faint voice. Ellie looks to see that James is awake.

"Oh my God, James. What happened? Why did you do it? What was wro—it doesn't matter. You're okay."

James smiles and closes his eyes. "At least I know you're here," he says as he drifts back to sleep.

Hadley enters the room quietly to see Ellie sitting in a chair scrolling through her iPhone. Ellie gets up and taps James. "James? Hadley's here. Wake up and let her know that you're okay."

James opens his eyes and looks around to see Hadley.

"Hey, Hadley. I'm okay," he says with a soft smile.

Hadley walks over to his bed. "Thank God," she whispers as she kisses him on the cheek. James smiles up at her and closes his eyes once more.

"I'm tired. Thanks for coming," he says falling asleep once again.

Logan and Kendall walk through the door.

"Is he alright?" asks Kendall worryingly.

"Yeah, he's not fine, but he's far from bad. He has three broken ribs and he broke his arm," Ellie replies.

"Oh man, oh man, oh man. I still don't understand why he did it," stutters Hadley. She looks at James then at the doctor who snuck in the door. "Can I stay here overnight?" she asks him.

Ellie loses it. "You know exactly why he did what he did. He was so depressed you thought he cheated. Stay here! Who cares? You think James is going to take you back? Wrong." She storms past Logan and Kendall and out the door.

"What the HELL was that?" yells Hadley. She looks at Kendall. "Kendall, what if he doesn't want me back?"

Kendall shrugs as Logan turns and runs after Ellie.

"Kendall," she pushes his head up from looking down at his feet to look in her eyes, "you have to tell me." She puts her hands on his shoulders. "I want James back. This isn't fair. I loved him so much and he hurt me inside. I don't know what it feels like to be loved anymore," she says making circles with her finger on Kendall's chest and looking at him with seducing eyes. "Would you love me, Kendall?" she asks leaning in closer.

Kendall shoves Hadley's hands off of his shoulders. "You're disgusting. How could you do this? And, no. I wouldn't love you. Honestly, I don't know how James did it for this long. I love someone else. You don't deserve to be loved, to be honest."

"Who do you love, Kendall? You've never been in love before. You don't know what it feels like. Ellie's a bitch Kendall."

"I'm in love with my best friend. Just like James is. And, no. I'm not referring to you. She isn't a seducing little whore like you. I love my best friend, Karlee. We've been through everything together and the little things she does everyday to make me smile just make me fall in love with her even more."

The sound of a cup of coffee is heard and Kendall turns around in response to it. He sees Karlee standing there in pure silence with a shocked look on her face. She runs to Kendall and he embraces her with a hug.

"Thanks a lot, Kendall. For everything you've done. For example, ruining my life and any relationship I had left with James," yells Hadley. She cries and sits in the corner.

The three hear a mumble.

"Oh God," whispers Kendall, "he's awake."

"What the hell is going on and why is everyone yelling?" asks James grumpily.

"Oh shit," Courtney thinks in her head. She walks over to James, still crying. "I'm sorry. A lot of drama is going on right now and it's not getting better," she says as she wipes her tears.

"Where'd Ellie go? And I thought I heard Logan. Where are my clothes? Why am I still in the hospital? I'm better!" James yells crying and scared.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" he screams at the top of his lungs.
