Thank you so much TheOutsidersFan, Guest, and Sodasgirl1 for the reviews. I really thought no one was gonna like it. Please keep reviewing.

"Wake up baby. Come on sweetie. Wake up." It was Parker. Where am I? The last thing I remember was the socs. I opened my eyes and nine pairs were staring at me.

"Hi baby." Paxton whispered.

"What happened?" I asked, trying to sit up. I was at the Curtis' house on the couch.

"No. Don't sit up." Soda advised, pushing my head back onto the pillow.

"You were jumped by the socs. We had to patch you up in three different places. Four stitches on the side of your head, three on your wrist, and seven on your stomach." Paxton informed me. I looked down at my torn open tank top. The guys tried to sew it back together. How sweet.

"I'm fine guys. Really. Can we just go home so I can change?" I asked Parker.

"Sure honey. Let's go." he replied. I got up and fell back down onto the couch. All of the guys moved my direction.

"Tali?" Parker asked, helping me back up and balancing me. I waved to the guys and we walked back to our house without problem. I went up stairs regretting every step. Ooh. That kick to the ribs hurt. I got to my room and put on a pair of sweatpants and a Minnie Mouse sweatshirt. I put my hair in pigtails and got slowly into bed. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

When I woke up, there was somebody's arm around me. It was Paxton.

"Hey honey. How ya feelin?" he asked, removing his arm.

"Honestly? I've felt better." Paxton chuckled.

"Take a couple aspirins when you get down stairs." he stated. I nodded and gave him a fake salute. "Oh, by the way, Soda came over earlier. He was really worried about you. I told him you were sleeping and that if you felt up to it, once you woke up I'd take you over there." Paxton told me as he got ready to leave.

"Really? You would do that? Ooh, what am I gonna do about my face?" I asked as I cringed. I probably looked really bad. I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

"You know? They've already seen your eye, wrist, and head. Only me and Park saw your stomach. Paxton shouted from the bedroom. I walked out with another leather jacket, a tank top, and a pair of jeans. I pinned my hair back with a bobby pin and put on a pair of sunglasses. We walked down the stairs, I more slowly than Paxton.

"Ah, the sleeping beauty awakes." Parker quipped.

"Shut it!" I snapped playfully. "Let's go Pax." I continued. We walked over to the Curtis' house in silence.

"Remember, dad wants you home by 10:30." Paxton reminded me. I nodded and walked through the door.
