Author's note: Sorry for the wait, I'm really busy with school. I plan on making the upcoming chapters more detailed and a lot longer. Enjoy! xo


Zoey POV

The first thing I did when I woke up this morning was brew a cup of coffee. I was up all night, tossing and turning, thinking about Mike. What if he was discharged? What if I never see him again?

I was trying to figure out what to wear today. I mean if I was going to the hospital to see anyone, I would just wear sweats, but this is Mike.

I put on a comfy blue American Eagle T-shirt and a pair of dark denim jeans. I put my hair in a ponytail, my white vans on and applied makeup. I put on some foundation, red lipstick and lots of concealer to hide the dark bags under my eyes.

Courtney wasn't home. She probably went for her morning jog.

I headed out the door, and went on my way to the hospital. My mind was festering with thoughts. Please be there, You're wasting your time he's discharged! , Stop you can't give up its Mike!

I wasn't aware of my surroundings, and I guess the constant back and forth conversation I had in my mind made me pace faster because I arrived at the hospital in no time. I could feel my heart beating fast as I entered.

I asked the woman at the front desk for a visiting pass. She asked for his name. I said Mike, but she needed to know his last name. I didn't know, but I told her he was in room 307.

She told me he was still here and was going to be discharged later in the day. She gave me the visiting pass and I headed up to see him.

I arrived in his room, and he was sound asleep. He looked so adorable. I couldn't help but to smile. I would've been so devastated if they discharged him, and I never got to see him again.

I looked around his room and noticed he had a huge bouquet of flowers next to his phone. There was a note attached to it. The note read: "Feel better my love."

My eyes widened in shock. He has a girlfriend?

I felt my heart sink to my stomach. I just wanted to go home and cry on my pillow. I backed up but my foot somehow managed to get tangled in the phone cord and I dropped the phone.

Mike woke up.

"Zoey?" He said in shock as he rubbed his eyes.

"Hey Mike!" I said right back as I picked up the phone and put it back on the table that was beside him.

"Cool you came back, I was worr- I mean wasn't sure if you would" He said giving a little chuckle and rubbing his head.

"How are you?" I asked as I sat beside him.

"Oh I'm fine, I'll be going home by 5, my arm and leg should be healed in 3 more days, I just need some bed rest at home" He said looking at me with his gorgeous light brown eyes.

I smiled at him, and he smiled back. I'm pretty sure I was blushing. I looked away for a moment and remembered about the flowers.

"Those are some nice flowers you got there" I said

"Oh yeah? Haha, my mom came last night, she couldn't stay for long and she felt bad so she just gave them to me" He said while grabbing them and smelling them.

I started to laugh. And to think you were going to leave!

"What?" He said with some pollen stuck on his nose. This made me laugh harder. I got a napkin and whipped his nose and showed him the pollen.

"Well that's embarrassing" He said as we both laughed.

"Hey Zoey, how'd you get your hair so red?" He asked tilting his head in confusion.

"Well I use L'oreal excellence highlights in magenta, it's for dark hair, so I don't have to use bleach, and my hair stays healthy and shiny!" I said and I let down my ponytail. My hair wasn't long at all, it was up to my collar bones, but it was healthy and soft.

"Want to feel it?" I asked leaning towards Mike. As I got closer to him, I felt my heart beat faster; he ran his hand through my hair.

"Your hair is so pretty Zoey" He said as he twirled my hair.

He took his hands out of my hair and broke the stem of one of the flowers from the bouquet. He put the flower behind my ear.

"Aww, look how cute" He said smiling.

Okay that was the cutest thing ever!

I could feel my face getting warm, and I knew for a fact I was blushing.

We both laughed.

My phone rang, it was my boss. Way to ruin the moment.

I answered the phone, he told me how I needed to go and cover Janice's shift since she just got fired. I hung up.

"Was your ringtone "Everybody breaks a glass" by LIGHTS?" Mike asked

I smiled. No one ever knows who LIGHTS is!

"YES I LOVE HER!" I said with enthusiasm.

"She is performing in Williamsburg soon; we should go if you want!" He said while smiling

"Yes sure, but Mike I have to go to work now." I said

I told him to put his number in my phone, and he did. I told him I'll text him right after work and I hugged him goodbye.


Courtney POV

I just finished my morning jog around Central Park. I couldn't wait to go home and shower. As I was waiting for the walkman, I noticed a girl leaving the hospital that looked exactly like Zoey.

Did she really visit Mike again?

I called out her name but the taxis over powered my voice as they passed by.

Normally, I would run and catch up with her, but I could barely feel my legs.

I'll ask her later


Sam POV

"Sam dinner is done!" My mom screamed that way I could hear her from the basement.

I looked at the clock, it was 5.P.M

Geez I was sleeping that long?

Guess that's what happens when you play video games all night.

I went upstairs and ate some pasta with peas and butter. It wasn't my mom's best cooking, but it wasn't her worst either. When I finished I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I combed my hair back, put deodorant on. I trimmed my beard up a little too.

I was leaving to go see Dakota. I wanted to make myself look decent in front of her.

I told my mom I was going to work, when really I had the day off. If I told my mom the truth, she would just tell me to mail it to Dakota. But I want to show Dakota that even though I am a gamer, I am also a gentleman. And maybe that'll make her thank me face to face!

She lives on the upper east side, right near Central Park. She must be rich!

As I started to walk to her house, I felt kinda nervous. I sucked it up though; because I knew what I was doing was right.

When I arrived at her apartment, I rang the bell.

She buzzed me in. I was pretty sure she would've asked who I was before actually letting me in.

I went to her room number, but before I would even knock on the door she opened it. She must've heard me walking up the stairs.

"KYLE I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 10 MIN- wait who are you?" It was her. The beautiful, real life barbie, Dakota.

"Ugh hi I'm Sam and I saw you drop your wallet yesterday, and I was calling you back but you didn't hear me I guess, so I um went to the address on your license and figured I might as well do the right thing and give it to you" I said giving her the wallet and a smile.

"Oh, thanks, well you have a nice day now." She said as she took the wallet. She slammed the door in my face.

My heart shattered. I knew that this was going to happen. No girl will ever want me, especially not one as beautiful as Dakota.
