Hello! I hope you enjoy this chapter! :)
I was texting Michael at the moment, he understood what was going on. He helped me through all this, and it was really sweet. I still felt like crap, but he was making me feel a bit better.. I put the phone down, and drove to the campus. I was almost there, good thing too. I just needed to lay down, and relax. I heard my phone beeping, so I grabbed it. I saw that it was Nellie... She had texted me, again.
Dani, for the hundredth time, I'm sorry. Please text me back..
I rolled my eyes, and started texting again. Little did I know, that was a big mistake. I didn't notice the big pickup truck, and apparently it didn't notice me either, I looked to my side, and saw big bright lights. I screamed as it smashed right into my tiny little car.
I woke up in the hospital, and saw my whole family standing in front of me. Well, except for dad... I looked at the door, and saw Michael there. "Oh, honey!" I heard my mom say. I looked down, and saw that I was all scratched up, and that I had a cast on my arm. My mom wrapped her arms around me, and I could hear her start to cry. "Mom... Its okay." I said, reassuring her.
"I told you this wasn't a good idea. You leaving home was not a good idea!" She said, starting up again. "Mom, it was fine up to this." I said, taking her hand. I then heard Andrew scoff, what did he want? "Guys, can I talk to Andrew?" I asked. I saw them nod, but they didn't leave. "Alone guys." I said, smiling. "Oh, right. Bye hon." My mom said, kissing my forehead.
They left, same with Michael, who still hadn't spoken since I woke up. "Alright, what is it?" I asked, curiously. Andrew sighed, and looked at me. "You said that it was fine up to the crash. But you yourself told me that somebody threatened your life.." He said, angrily. "Oh.. Right. I forgot I told you that. But, its alright Andrew." I said, trying to comfort him. "No! Its not alright! You, you keep getting hurt by that Nellie chick, by Mr Foxenworthy, by everybody! Maybe mom was right, you don't belong in college." He said, trying to calm down.
"Andrew.. I belong in college. Just because a few things happened doesn't mean-" I started, but got interrupted by Andrew. "Oh cut the crap Dani! I'm not mom, I know whats going on!" "You were texting me before the crash. We were talking, and you didn't answer. I should have known that something happened..." He said, sitting down. "I just thought that your phone died or something, not that you almost died. God Dani, you're my sister Don't tell me that not much has happened, because heads up, a lot has happened. I worry about my sister, you aren't horrible to me you know?" He rubbed his face, and moved hair out of his face.
"I hate it when you are hurting Dani... You know this.." He said, really upset. "Andrew, what is this really about? You aren't mad at me, its something else.." "Its nothing.. Just that I almost killed you!" "It isn't your fault.. I wasn't texting you at that time.." I said, grabbing onto his hand. He looked at me, with hurt in his eyes. "Who were you texting then?" "Nobody.. It doesn't matter." "Yes it does. Who was it?" "I said it doesn't matter..." "Dammit Dani! Who was it?!" He shouted, standing up. "Fine! It was Nellie okay? Happy?" I said, leaning up in my bed. "No, I really am not happy. You shouldn't be talking to her... You don't talk to Julie now do you?"
"No, but Nellie's different And you shouldn't change the subject. Why are you really getting angry at me?" He sat down again, and turned his head towards me, but still didn't look at me. "Mom and dad.. They, they think I'm crazy.." He blurted out. "What do you mean?" "They took me to a special doctor the other day.." He said, emphasizing the word with quotation fingers. "Huh?" "They took me to a doctor the other day to get tested. I'm crazy!" He yelled. "Just call me Mr Crazy!" He stood up, and shouted. "Andrew sit down... What did they say?"
"I have a small case of beginners schizophrenia .. I need to see a doctor every week.." He said, starting to get more upset. "Andrew, that doesn't mean you're crazy, it means you have to work a bit harder, that's all..." "No! It means that nobody will want me to work with them, because I could go off any second!" He shouted, starting to cry. "I feel so useless and I cant do anything about it.." He sat in the chair and just cried. "It isn't your fault Andrew.." "Then whose fault is it?!" He finally broke down and bawled. I didn't know what to say, so I just sat there, awkwardly.
We sat there for, who knows how long, until finally a nurse came in. "Hi, Dani Shay? You have a few visitors." She said, smiling. "Ill just leave..." Andrew said, getting up. I nodded, and waited to see who it was. The nurse left, and in came Abraham, Ali, Charlie and Aylin. "Hey guys.." I said, smiling. Abraham just looked at me all bandaged up, and lost it. "I'm sorry. I promised myself I wouldn't cry.." He said, whimpering. "Abraham.." I said, waiting for him to start. He immediately started crying, and hugged me. "Oh Abraham." I said, rubbing his back.
"I was so scared that you weren't going to be okay..." He cried. "Well, I am.. I am in pain, but whatever..." He let go, and looked at the others. They all looked pretty worried, except for Ali for some reason.. "You're lucky that you don't have to be in a wheelchair.. No offense guys." Aylin said, turning to Charlie and Ali. "I'm not offended Aylin.. She is lucky.." Ali started eyeing me up, and my broken arm. "What are you doing?" I asked her. "No offense, but you're kind of milking this whole thing." She said, angrily now.
"Why are you mad all of a sudden?" Abraham asked, kneeling down to her. "You say that you're in pain, but you don't know. I'm in a wheelchair my whole life thanks to a drunk driver, and you think you have it bad? Please, you don't even know how lucky you are." She said, starting to wheel to the door. "Ali. I'm sorry.." I said, confused as to why I should be sorry. "Just don't Dani.. Nobody even gets how I feel. Not even Charlie. Hes going to get out of that chair, you wont be in a chair for long, only a couple of days, and that'll only be here, I have to be in this my whole life."
"I'm out of here.." She said, leaving the room. "I should probably go check on her..." Abe said. I nodded, and he hugged me. "See you later, okay?" He smiled, and left. "Well, That was depressing." Aylin said, sitting on the chair beside me. "So, what did it feel like?" She asked. "What did what feel like?" "Getting into a crash. Like, did you see your life flash before your eyes? Or is it all a myth?" She asked. "Actually, I did see something... I saw some of the most important factors in my life. Being born, my parents getting a divorce, me coming out to my parents, and... Something else." "Something else? Well, you have to tell us." Aylin begged.
"Nah, its silly.." "No! Tell us!" She laughed. "Fine... My last important memory, was meeting Nellie.. Guys, I don't want us to break up, but how do I know I can trust her again after she kissed somebody else?" I asked. "Ill be right back.. Girl talk, yuck." He said, laughing. I smiled and looked at Aylin. She crept over to the door, and closed it. "You and Nellie are adorable together, you guys need to stay together.. You love her right?" I nodded, and started twiddling my fingers. "How did you guys really fall in love, like what did you do to make each other fall in love?" She asked, curiously.
"She sang an original song to me. Ill never forget it.. Bright Bright Lights." I said, singing along. "That's it, write a song! Sing it to her, then sit her down and tell her everything you just told me." "Well, I do have a few songs already made. But, they kind of suck.. Except one particular one... Its called One." I said, remembering it. I started humming the tune of it, and I sat up in the bed. "Sing that to her then." I smiled at the thought, but soon realized something. "I cant sing though.." I said, a bit upset that the idea would go to waste. "Ill sing it to her then. Charlie can watch, and Ali could sing backup to Abraham. We'll all be singing to who we love. I've been told I'm pretty good in the singing department." She said, dusting off her shoulders.
I just laughed at that. "Alright. But, how can I trust Nellie after how she hurt me?" I asked. "Ooh, that's the hard part... I guess I could call her and see how much she loves you, then by that, you could see if shes trustworthy." Aylin said, getting out her phone. I nodded, and watched as she dialed the number. "Hey Nellie? I'm going to put you on speaker phone." Aylin said. She clicked a button, and I could hear Nellie.
"Hey girl!" Aylin yelled, happily. "Hi..." She responded. "Listen, quick question okay?" "Sure whatever..." "How sorry are you that you kissed another woman and how much do you truly love Dani?" Aylin said. I quickly slapped my hand over to mouth piece on her phone. "What the hell? You cant say that!" I shouted. "Relax... She'll never know that you're with me." Aylin said, taking my hand off. "So?" Aylin asked. "I'm extremely sorry, and I love her too much that I cant even say how much it is. But what does it matter, she'll never forgive me..." She sighed. "Maybe she will... Anyways, gotta go. BYE!" Aylin yelled, hanging the phone up.
"Now, lets go see if Abe's calmed Ali down yet." She said, helping me out of the bed. She put me in a wheelchair, which I was forced to be in by doctors orders, and we rolled out. Then I saw them... Emily and Maxfield. Are you kidding me?
