I woke up to the pungent smell of hospital disinfect, invading my nostrils. The room was silent apart from my heavy breathing and the beep-beep sound you often hear in hospitals that indicates you're alive. I slowly opened my eyes, squinting in an attempt to sharpen the blurred images before me. I glanced around and took in the blue and white color schemed hospital bedroom. How long have I been here?

I felt a not-too-heavy weight press against my stomach and squinted my eyes again before tilting my head downwards, causing a sudden pain to shoot through my head. What the hell?

I squinted my eyes for the third time and my heart nearly stopped when I saw Blake's sleeping face... resting on me.

His eyes were shut close and there were noticeable dark half-circles underneath them. His light brown hair was sprawled all over my stomach and the front of it was covering the tips of his eyes like it usually does when he's asleep. His lips were molded into a frown as he slept and I knit my brows at that. I didn't like the look of a frown on his gorgeous face.

I averted my eyes to the side of the bed and butterflies immediately started erupting in my stomach the second I realized that our hands were interlocked and resting beside my stomach on the bed. My heart fluttered and I felt my cheeks heat up at the simple contact.

I knit my brows once again and shut my eyes, trying to remember what had exactly happened. Then it all hits me with a bang. The memory of it all starts to occupy my thoughts.

Ashton. Touching. Groping. Kissing. Choking. Panic.

My breathing hitched and I tilted my head upwards, my eyes still closed. The images kept replaying in my head and I didn't realize that I was crying until I tasted the familiar salty taste of a teardrop on my lips.

My body shook a little as I held in my choked sobs and I brought a hand to my mouth in an attempt to keep myself quiet.

'Shhh. Olivia. It's alright, we're just having fun over here,'

I didn't want to have fun

He pushed me against the wall and cornered me. He... touched me and grabbed me in places no man has ever touched before. He made a move to...

I heard the heart monitor beside me beep faster and I suddenly felt something touch my cheek softly causing me to flinch. "Livi?"

I shot my teary eyes open and looked at Blake's blurry appearance. His head was no longer resting on my stomach and his face was now closer to me, one of his hands was resting on my cheek while the other was still intertwined with mine.

He quickly brushed the tears away from my cheek and I just cried harder, the sobs escaping my mouth this time instead of being held in.

The images won't go away.

"I- I'm s- H-he... Bl-lake he-"

"Shh, Livi, I know. I know. It's okay. It's all over now, please don't cry." Blake looked like he was in physical pain while saying these words to me. He kept trying his best to wipe away every tear that was slipping past my eyes but failed.

I just cried harder. I was being so weak and vulnerable at the moment but I just couldn't help it. I looked away from him and down at the blanket resting on top of me, seeing the spots of dampness on it from my escaped and fallen tears.

"Hey, look at me," Blake brushed his thumb over my knuckles. I kept sobbing as I looked down. "Look at me, Livi." He whispered ever so softly and brought his fingers beneath my chin, tilting my head upwards.

I couldn't see him because of the tears blocking my eyes but he quickly brushed them away after I blinked and I was able to see his face now. "He paid for what he did. Olivia, he's never going near you again- no one's going near you again. Please breathe," He tucked a lock behind my ear because it was starting to get damp from my tears.

"I c-cant-" My breathing kept hitching.

"Yes, you can, Olivia. Here, breathe with me, sweetheart." Blake waited for a few seconds before he looked at me softly in the eyes and nodded his head for me to start taking a deep breath with him.

I nodded my head and took deep breaths with him as he continued to brush his thumb over my knuckles with one hand and wipe my tears away with his other one.

"There you go, keep going, Muffin." Blake gave me a small smile that made me almost forget everything and just focus on his face. We took many deep breaths until I started to calm down and Blake kept praising me every few minutes to help me keep going.

I took my last deep breath with him and he wiped the last few tears dampening my face away and gave me another smile, this time a bigger one. I could barely return it but he didn't look like he minded.

"H-how long have I been here?" My voice came out hoarse when I asked the question.

Blake checked the clock that was on one of the hospital room's walls, "Almost eighteen hours."

My eyes widened. Eighteen hours?! "What happened after..." I sucked in a breath.

"You had a seizure, Muffin." Blake had a gentle expression on his face.

What?

That was what wa-

My thoughts were cut off when I saw the hospital room's door open and I froze in my place when I saw who had walked in.

"Luke?"

His eyes widened when he saw me awake on the bed and before I could even take a second to blink and check if my eyes were seeing clear or not, he was beside me on the other side of the bed, squeezing the life out of me while his chin rested on top of my head.

I wrapped my arms around him slowly and stuffed my face in his chest, taking the familiar scent of my only brother in and feeling him kiss my head repeatedly.

"You're awake," He whispered over my head before kissing it again.

I squeezed him hard and nodded my head against his chest, "What are you doing here? When did you get here?"

Luke sighed over my head, "Yesterday. I got in the car as soon as I heard the news- are you feeling alright? How's your head? Do you need me to get you a nurse?" He pulled away from me and looked me in my eyes, a worried yet relieved look taking over his features.

I made a move to shake my head no, but the action caused pain to shoot through my head again and I groaned. Luke and Blake seemed to notice that and Blake quickly stood up from sitting on the chair that was on my right and made his way to the door. "I'll go call a nurse."

Luke nodded and Blake was out of the room before I could protest. "How are you feeling," Luke grabbed my face and tilted it gently from side to side to check if I had anything there.

"I'm fine, Luke," I smiled at him. The way he was being tentative with me right now made a memory flash in my head.

*Flashback*

"Lukey! I can't" I yelled out to Luke as he held onto the bike from behind me.

Mommy and daddy had bought me a new bicycle for my birthday a week ago and Luke pinky promised me that he'd teach me how to ride it later. But now that the time has finally come, I was having second thoughts.

"Yes, you can, Livia. I'll be behind you the entire time." Luke assured me before adjusting the gigantic purple helmet over my head.

"Now, remember what I told you? Keep pedaling as if the ground beneath you was on fire and you can't stop or place your feet on the ground or else... POOF!" He exclaimed dramatically causing me to giggle.

"But Lukey, that way I'll fall and my tushy will hit the fire!"

"No, Munchkin; I'll be there to catch you."

"But won't your legs burn while you push me?" I whispered the word burn instead of saying it aloud because I didn't like it. It scared me.

"No, I have uh- SUPERPOWERS that make me immune to it! Just like Crabdozer! But shhh... don't tell anyone, Munchkin; it's our little secret." He whispered the last part.

I giggled again before frowning, I wanted a superpower! "But Lukey, don't I have any superpowers?" I turned my head towards him from where I was sitting on the bike's seat, causing the gigantic helmet to move and cover my eyes.

Luke chuckled. "Well of course you do, Munchkin," He fixed my helmet again.

"REALLY?" I beamed, my lips forming into a huge smile. "What is it?!"

Luke leaned closer to me to whisper so no one could hear, "You see that smile on your face right now, Livia?" He asked and I nodded my head vigorously, eager to hear the rest. "Just go up to the bad guys and flash them it, and you'll find them going POOF before you know it!" He smiled.

I gasped, "That's so cool!"

"I know right?!" Luke exclaimed. "That's why you gotta make sure it always stays right there on your face." he poked my cheeks and I giggled for the millionth time.

"Are you ready now, Livia?" Luke asked me and I turned my head around to look forward.

"Yes!"

"I didn't hear you Munchkin- I said are you ready?!" Luke said and I laughed a little because he reminded me of Patchy the Pirate from SpongeBob SquarePants.

"YES!" I laughed.

"Start pedaling in three, two, one, GO!" I felt him push me a little as I started moving my feet over the pedals of the bike, the bike started moving faster and I was guessing that Luke was still behind me, pushing me while I pedaled so he could make sure I don't fall.

I felt the fresh breeze of air hit my face and I smiled as I kept pedaling, not resting my foot on the ground for one bit so my feet don't go POOF. "LUKEY! I'M DOING IT! LOOK!"

I heard him laugh from behind me but noticed that his voice was way farther away than it was a few seconds ago and I frowned. I did the mistake of looking back to check if Luke was still pushing me but gasped when I saw that he had let go and was only running after me with a smile. Though his smile instantly dropped when he saw me looking back and he yelled "NO LIV! KEEP YOUR EYES FORWAR-"

I felt myself losing control over the bicycle and I let out a scream before I felt the bike start to fall with me on top of it. I shut my eyes close and waited for my body and head to hit the ground and was shocked when I only felt my body make contact with the floor and my head touch something less hard instead.

I whimpered from the slight pain that struck my body and heard the sound of rapid breathing beside me. "Olivia?"

I opened my eyes slowly and was met with Luke's blue t-shirt. I looked up and realized that my head had landed on his thigh. He quickly put his arms underneath my armpits and helped me sit up in front of him, I looked down at his clothes and saw that they were all dirty now; I'm guessing he had slid down the street fast enough to make my head land on his thigh instead of the ground, even though I had an almost-useless big helmet on.

Luke placed his hands on either side of my face and moved my head gently to tilt it in different directions, checking for any injuries. "Are you alright? Does it hurt, Livia? Where does it hurt? Did you hit your head? I'm so sorry, Munchkin."

I shook my head no at him, "Issokay!" I put my small hands over his face, just like he was doing now, and shook it, giggling. "I'm okay. Just a few small POOFS!" I pointed at my scratched arms and legs.

He chuckled and shook his head, booping my nose. I booped his nose back and he stood up, placing his arms back underneath my armpits again and making me stand up with him. "Come on, let's go to mommy and daddy so they can use their superpowers on you."

I knit my eyebrows. "Mommy and daddy have powers too?"

Luke nodded his head and smiled, "They do!"

"What are their superpowers?!" I asked excitedly as Lukey removed the helmet from the top of my head and fixed my messy hair with his hands.

He leaned closer to me again to whisper, "They'll kiss the POOFS and make them disappear, of course." He kissed the top of my head after he was done fixing my hair.

*End of flashback*

"Are you sure you're oka-" Luke began to ask but was cut off.

"OLIVER!"

I shot my head towards the door, causing the pain to pang again, but ignored it as I searched for Cole. I knit my eyebrows when I didn't see him standing near the door and was about to question if I was hearing things before I felt someone embrace me in their arms.

I smiled when the smell of children's watermelon scented shampoo invaded my nose.

I automatically recognized that it was Cole who was hugging me right now. I really loved his hugs.

"I was gonna whoop your ass if you died, Jesus Christ." He whispered and I chuckled as I squeezed him back.

I heard Luke chuckle too from beside us and Cole squished my organs even harder.

We pulled back from the hug once we heard the door open and looked its way to find a nurse and Blake walking towards me. Luke and Cole backed away a little so the nurse could do a check-up.

"Hello, Olivia. How are you feeling?" The nurse gave me a polite smile.

I shrugged, "Fine, thank you. My head just hurts from the back over here." I pointed at the spot that was hurting the most.

She nodded her head and asked me a few questions, noting the answers on a small board. "Okay then," She said when she was done questioning me, "I'll be right back with the pain killers, dear."

I nodded my head carefully and the nurse was about to walk away when Luke said, "Excuse me?"

"Yes?" The nurse replied.

"Do you know when we'll be able to take her home?"

"We're going to have to run a few more tests and wait until the results appear. We also might need to discuss something with her legal guardian and her. Hopefully, it wouldn't take more than a day, she might be able to leave tomorrow morning."

Luke furrowed his eyebrows when she mentioned that the doctors needed to discuss something with us and nodded his head, we all watched her as she left the room and Blake turned to Cole and Luke. He eyed their fists for some reason then looked back up at them.

"What did you guys do?" A lock of hair fell over his forehead and he brought his hand up to run his fingers through his hair, my eyes widened when they noticed his bruised and swollen knuckles.

I was about to ask him about that when Luke started talking. "They were taking him to the hospital, you left him looking dead- we were able to reach him before they took him, though." Blake waited for Luke to continue and I noticed Cole's facial expression turn into a scowl. I'm so confused.

"I broke his other hand and might have done a few other things..." Luke trailed. HE BROKE SOMEONE'S HAND? "And Cole, well..."

"Broke his penis." Cole finished off.

"What the hell are you guys talking about?!" I exclaimed from where I was sitting on the bed.

Everyone averted their gazes to me. "Ashton Tuffin's broken penis," Cole answered brightly.

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped, yet at the same time, I felt my heart skip a beat at the mention of his name and my blood went cold. "W-what?"

Luke sighed and stepped closer to me, taking a seat on the chair to my left. "It doesn't matter, Olivia. What matters is that he got what he deserved and paid for what he fucking did to you- yes, we know what happened." Luke said when he saw my confused face, answering the question that was running in my head.

"We don't exactly know what he did to you in detail, and we're not pressuring you to tell us, but we know that he fucking touched you and he's the reason you're in this hospital bed. Don't worry about it, okay?" Luke softly said to me.

I nodded my head without uttering a single word and looked away from them, fiddling with my fingers. If I'm being a hundred percent honest, a huge part of me liked hearing that; I wanted him to pay for what he did to me, so badly. I was glad that he was in pain. But another part of me felt guilty for feeling like this.

I felt Luke grab one of the hands I was fiddling with and saw Blake from the corner of my eye step closer to me from my right and crouch down. "You okay?" He asked.

I nodded my head again the same minute we saw the nurse enter the room with the painkillers.

"Huda you're gonna suffocate me." I choked out when Huda didn't make a move to unwrap her arms around me and squeeze me hard. She's been clutching me for ten minutes straight ever since she and Mrs. and Mr. Martin entered the room.

"Shut up," She mumbled against my shoulder and continued to hug me while everyone in the room continued to watch us.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin gave me warm smiles a couple of minutes ago and mouthed me a few words while Huda was embracing me before leaving to talk to the doctors. Peter and Jordan had come a few minutes before Huda and were now sitting with Cole and Blake, who were staring at Huda in amusement 'cause she really won't budge even though it's been ten minutes. Luke was smiling softly at us.

"Come on Hudson~" Cole almost whined. "Get off of her, she still hasn't seen the shit we got!"

"Shut up," She mumbled again.

Cole let out a breath, "Hu-"

"Shut up,"

"It's been ten m-"

"Shut up,"

"Goddam-"

"Aight, I'm done," Huda pulled away.

"Finall-"

"Shut up," She cut Cole off for the hundredth time.

"Stop saying that!" Cole narrowed his eyes at her.

"Then shut up,"

"N-"

"Yes,"

They stood there narrowing their eyes at each other for a few seconds before they both turned around to face me and broke out into grins at the same time, though it looked coincidental. The whole room watched as they widely smiled at me and I was kind of creeped out.

"Wha-"

"Gifts and shit!" They beam.

Whaaaa.

"We got you gifts and shit," Huda started jumping in her place.

"Not shit as in actual shit but as in good shit, like shit that's goo- I mean, we just added the profanit- Jesus Christ. Let's just get everything." Huda gave up and Cole nodded before the both of them left the room, not giving me a chance to say anything.

My eyebrows pinched in confusion and I turned my head towards the boys in the room, silently asking them what the hell was going on. They just smiled before we heard the voices of Cole and Huda from outside the room.

"CHARCOAL I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU POP IT I'LL POP YOUR BA-"

"I'M NOT GONNA POP I-"

"IF YOU KEEP HOLDING IT LIKE THE IDIOT YOU ARE, I GUARANTEE YOU THAT IT WILL POP, AND YOU'LL LOSE YOUR TINY BABY MAKERS."

We heard Cole gasp, "TINY MY ASS! I'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT MY BALLS ARE PROBABLY BIGGER THA-"

"SHUT UP,"

We heard Cole let out a groan and everyone in the room chuckled before we saw the two of them enter the room with LOADS of different things in their hands. Huda was holding three huge gift boxes that were all colored a light shade of blue, a bunch of gameboards, and a deck of cards. Cole was holding a huge helium balloon that had "IT'S A BOY!" printed on it, a few other smaller blue helium balloons, and what caught my attention the most was the HUMONGOUS teddy bear both Huds and Cole were holding. It was almost as tall as Huda!

"Woah," I let out a breath.
