Chapter Fourteen

Kendall successfully crawled out of the hospital bed without waking Aria. She looks so cute & peaceful he thought, staring at her as she slept. He blinked himself back to reality. I have to get back to the Palmwoods to grab some stuff and get back here all before she wakes up he thought. He tried to tip toe to the door but tripped on the edge of the bed. His head whipped around and he looked at Aria. She stirred a bit but remained asleep. Kendall let out a sigh of relief. He shuffled to the door and opened it. Aria groaned.

"Kendall?" she asked sleepily.

He cringed. "Yeah?"

"Where are you going?" she asked in a haze.

"I just gotta run back to the Palmwoods real quick. Go back to sleep. I'll be back when you wake up." He said slipping out the door.

"Wait…"

Kendall poked his head in the door. "What?"

"Can you grab my…erm, your hoodie out of my room for me?" she asked.

Kendall cracked a smile. "Of course."

He left the room.

Aria closed her eyes. She knew she wouldn't be able t get back to sleep.

Aria turned over. There was a pain in her side. She tried to ignore it. She was trying to remember what had happened before the crash. She remembered she was riding to Rocque Records in a cab and she had her phone in her hand.

"My Phone!" she said sitting up and looking around. She spotted it on the bed side table. It was off. She pressed the power button and her phone came whirling to life.

She watched her phone fill with messages and missed calls. She never knew she was so popular. Once her phone had finally stopped buzzing and ringing. She checked to see the last message she received. It wasn't anything special. She clicked the back button and saw a message in her drafts. She clicked on it and read "I forgot to tell you. I love you. :) I'm really happy tha-" the message was cut off. Suddenly Aria blinked and saw the whole crash flash before her eyes. She screamed and threw her phone on the bed. Just as she did so, Kendall opened the door. "ARIA?" she said running to the bed. "What's wrong?" he said throwing his arms around her. She grabbed his arm, pulling herself toward the edge of the bed, tears falling down her face.

"I remember." She said in a panicked tone.

"Shhhh." Kendall said stroking her hair. "You're okay. It's okay."

"I want to go home." Aria said, she was still crying.

"You can, you just have to wait a bit. Okay?"

"Yeah." She said as her voice cracked.

Kendall calmed Aria down. He hated seeing her this way. She was hurting and there was nothing he could do about it.

"I'll be right back." Kendall said slipping out of the room. She walked to the reception desk. "Hi." He said to the lady sitting there. She was a perky brunette and was clicking the mouse on her computer.

"Oh shoot!" she said angrily at her computer.

Kendall gave her a questioning look. She looked up. "Sorry, I just lost my game of angry birds." She looked disappointed. "Anyways, what can I help you with?" she asked perking up.

"Um, I was wondering if you could tell me when Aria Smith can go home? She just really wants to go." She asked hopefully.

The woman grabbed a folder with Aria's name on it. She opened it, read for a brief moment and looked up at Kendall.

"She can leave when a doctor clears her to go," She tapped a few buttons on her computer. "I can send one to her room in about an hour. Is that okay?" she asked.

Kendall smiled at her. "Perfect." She said. He spun around on his heel and walked back to the room.

He opened the door and told Aria what the women had said. She perked up a bit.

They say and chatted, trying to pass the hour. Aria said she was feeling better but Kendall didn't know if she was saying that because she meant it or because she wanted to go home so desperately. After a 45 minute chat and about 28 thumb wrestles. The doctor arrived.

"So Aria how are you feeling today?" the doctor asked. He was a tall, lanky man with short brown hair and was wearing a name tag that said "Dr. Hastings".

"Better than yesterday." She said to him.

"You seem to be healing quite well, seeing as you've only been here for a day," said. "I could keep you longer…"

Aria's face dropped.

"But could she go home?" Kendall butted in.

"I suppose." The doctor said scratching his head. "I don't think anything will go wrong but if anything happens you are to call me immediately." He wrote her a prescription and gave it to her and she changed into some clothes Kendall had brought her and put Kendall's hoodie on. Kendall has called Aria's parents to give them a ride to the Palmwoods.

A nurse wheeled Aria out of the hospital in a wheelchair. Aria had protested and said she could walk up the nurse insisted. The car pulled up to the curb. Aria stood. Kendall opened the door for her. She glanced at the car and then looked at Kendall nervously.

"It'll be fine." He assured her.

She trusted him enough to get in the car. Kendall got in after her and took the seat next to her. Kendall took Aria's hand as they drove back to the Palmwoods.

NOTE

I'm sorry for the long wait. This chapter wasn't very good. I've been having some really bad writer's block lately. :/
