If you could choose

It's been 3 days and Bass's treatment is so far working he's started doing better, still not awake but they don't think it will take long. I haven't left the hospital at all. I sit here and hold his hand. I owe his this much though, he put so much effort into making sure I would be alright after the last time and I just want him to know I appreciate it. Just as Matt said no one wants to leave me, so they canceled a couple shows until further notice.

The only reason they're staying is to make sure I don't do anything to myself. I promised I wouldn't but Matt and everyone doesn't wanna take those chances. The bruises on my hips have worn down and the cuts are starting to heal. I have both knees pulled up to my chest in this chair with my left hand in Bass's even though I'm the only one gripping. My head rested on my knees I herd foot steps so I looked up to see his doctor.

I didn't move cause he hasn't said anything to make me jump at him every time he walks in. "Hello." I said. "Morning, Ms.Flyzik." He said and a nurse came in. "He no longer has the need to be on the drugs provided so when we pull him off them he should come out of his comma like state." I stared at him. "Wait, you induced his comma?" I asked. "Yes, to make sure he wouldn't do anything physical to accidentally harm himself." "That makes sense I guess, so when do you think he'll wake up?"

I watched as he helped the nurse do whatever they were doing. "Umm... it could be hours at the earliest and a day to two days at the most." I nodded my head in understanding, cause if I had spoken I would have said something rude surely. Two days?! I can't wait that long he has to be fine, and wake up now. They finished and I turned my chair to face the bed. I rested my head on the side and closed them.

"Paige." They shook me a little. "Paige." I opened my eyes and sat up really fast. "What?" I asked focusing my eye sight. "I brought you something to eat." "Alex, I'm not hungry." "Paige you haven't eaten pretty much since you got here." I looked down fumbling with my hands. "I know...I'm just not hungry." Alex turned my chair back to where it had been several hours ago. "Look, you may not be hungry but you're gonna eat this cause I want to eat with you."

He took the seat next to me and I sighed. He pulled out a togo box of chinese and handed it to me. I held my hand out and he slapped some chop sticks in it. "Thought you weren't hungry." He said opening his own box. "Not, but I can't let this deliciousness go to waist." He smiled at me. I nudged his arm and took a piece of chicken and plopped it into my mouth. I looked over at Bass, letting out a sigh as I chewed. "So did the doctor say anything about him?"

I turned to Alex. "Yeah, they took him off some medicine and he should wake up soon." I smiled at him. He looked away and continued to eat. "So, are you gonna come back on tour...with us?" He asked still not making eye contact. "I don't know, Alex. I haven't really thought about it." I said and took another piece of chicken in my mouth. "So... like what's your relationship with Sebastien?" He asked looking up at me.

"He helped me get through something while you guys were gone and we got really close." "So he took my place." Alex said. I looked at Alex but he wasn't looking at me. "Hey, you're the one who threatened those kids when I was in 6th grade, you're the one who helped me when I got dumped the first time, you're the one who helped me when my dad died... not Bass. Now I love Bass, he is an amazing friend, but he's not my best friend." I took Alex's left hand in my right, waffling our fingers.

"You are. Please don't forget that. Just cause you got famous and have thousands of girls fighting over you every day doesn't mean that I don't like you anymore, it just means we need to rekindle our relationship." I shook our connected hands, and smiled at him. "Plus you couldn't pay me not to be your best friend, Gaskarth." He laughed. "I have no intentions in doing so." I pulled his hand up to my lips and gave it a kiss, right on the rose.

Alex tried to take a bite of chicken but couldn't hold the container and use his chopsticks so I let go of his hand. "Do you want to come back on tour with me? us." I looked at him. "Yeah, I guess. I really just don't wanna be stuck here-" "Oh well good to know." I spun around fast and looked at Bass as he tried to sit up. His voice was scraggily. "Ahh, God, you're finally awake!" I said and watched him as he tried to sit up.

"So what? No hug?" He asked. Alex got up and left. "I would hug you but like you're in really bad shape so I don't wanna make it worse." I smiled at him. "I'm so happy you're ok." "Me too. That reminds me, where's Chris? I need to punch him in the face." I laughed. He smiled at me. "God, my ribs hurt so bad." He looked down and took his hand rubbing his side. "You broke some of them in the crash along with a punctured lung which should actually be ok now, for the most part."

"Wow, that sucks." He said and leaned his head back. "Please don't scare me like that again, you almost killed me." He turned to look at me. "I don't plan to." He took my hand in his. I let out some air and smiled. "So how long have you been here?" "3 days but seeing the clock over there it has now been tallied to 4." "Wow, out for 3 full days." "Yep." The doctor came in and I stood up. "Alright, Ms.Flyzik. I'm gonna need you to step outside while I talk to Mr.Grey and go over somethings, seeing as he is up."

I stepped past him. "Ok, I'll be back Bass." "Sounds good." I stepped outside and Alex was sitting in a chair. I walked over and plopped myself next to him. "You look better." "I feel better, knowing that he's ok I can finally breathe correctly." I pulled out my phone and pushed it up to my ear after selecting Chris.

Chris: Hi.
Me: Alright, so he is awake now and fully functioning.
Chris: Really?! I'm on my way!

He hung up and I pulled the phone away. "Was that Chris?" Alex asked. "Yeah." "Why wasn't he down here like you?" Alex asked looking at me. "Well, his mom remarried to a guy who had a younger daughter a couple years ago and after she turned 6 they found out she had Leukemia, his mom and step dad didn't know what to do so they sort of pushed her onto him. He was much older and paid for her medical bills and such but about two years ago she past away. She had just turned 7. That's why he doesn't like hospitals."

"Wait, how old is Chris?" "He's 22." "Ok, I guess that makes sense." I nodded and Chris walked in. "Are we allowed to go in?" He asked. "Yeah, once the doctors are- actually they're leaving so in a second." I said as the doctor and nurse left. Chris ran in, I stayed put in my spot. I rested my head back and closed my eyes. "Tired?" Alex questioned. I nodded eyes still closed. "Yeah, I would even take a bunk right now I'm so tired."

Alex laughed. I turned my head and smiled at him. "I love that about you, you laugh at all the stupid little jokes I make. I love it." I leaned my head on his shoulder. He returned it by resting his head on mine. I closed my eyes and a few minutes passed and before you know it I was out cold. I'm so tired, and for good reason too. I did stretch a little and folded further into Alex.

I opened my eyes to notice I was curled into the crook of his neck and was in his lap sitting sideways. I leaned up a little. Alex's death grip went limp but his arms remained around my body. "How long was I asleep?" I asked and yawned. "A little over an hour." I smiled at him. I leaned over and kissed his cheek and stood up stretching. Chris came out of the room.

"Look who is awake." I glared at him playfully. "Shut up." He laughed and leaned against the door frame of the room. "Alright, they just finished checking him out and what not, I'm gonna take him home and help him recuperate." "Ok." I said and stepped forward. "Paige, go back on tour. You need time with your brother and your real family. I'll have him call you all the time, I promise I wont do anything stupid either."

"I swear Christopher, you do anything to get that bot in there hurt and I will come back here remove you nipples with pliers put them on a pizza and feed it to you." I stepped past him as he held his hands over his nipples and took in a sharp breath. "Oh god, you always were a feisty one." "Yeah, it happens." "I love it though." He said. I continued into the room. "Hey." Bass said.

I walked over. "Are you gonna be-" "Yes, I'll be fine. Chris is a fuck up but that was a true accident. I love you and go have fun." I smiled at him and leaned down and pulled him into a hug. "You're awesome, love you too. Call me tomorrow ok?" "I can do that." I let go of him and picked up my suit case. "I'm gonna change in the bathroom, ok?" "Do what you want." He said.

I stepped in and looked at myself. I took a shower yesterday but other than that no effort was really made. I was wearing sweat pants and long sleeve shirt. I opened my bag and pulled out some skinny jeans, a sweater, new bra and panties. I changed and pulled my hair in to a french braid to the side. I stuffed my huge feet into my mint converse and stepped out of the bathroom. "Yay, you don't look like a hobo anymore." Bass said.

I rolled my eyes. "Shut up, bye." I said and took my bag out of the room. "I'm ready, where's the guys and stuff?" Alex hopped up out of the chair. "Are you coming back with me?" "Yep." "They're at my house." "Ok, let's go then." Alex and I left the hospital and walked out to his car. "Ugh, the suns coming up." I said as we drove down the road. "Nice observation captain obvious." "Shut your mouth, I've been awake for a long time and I'm running on fumes here."

He laughed and continued to drive. Alex didn't live far from the hospital. We pulled up and I grabbed my bag. Alex walked ahead and opened the door, I set my bag down and went to the living room. I sighed and stood with my arms crossed. "We can either wake everyone up or go and get some sleep but seeing as you're practically falling asleep standing up I'm not giving you a choice." Alex said and scooped me up bridal style.

"Alex, I can walk. I'm too heavy for you to carry." "Are you kidding me, you weigh nothing and plus I like carrying you." He kicked open the door to his room. He set me down. "Thanks." I said and flopped on his bed. "Are you gonna change?" He asked. "Nope. Ain't nobody got time for that." I said pulling off my pants. I pulled back the covers on his bed. I snuggled down into it. "God...your bed is better than sex right now." I said muffled into the pillow.

The bed dipped and he crawled in. "I bet it would be considering how you slept the past few days." I scooted closer to Alex. I laid my right arm over his torso and put my head on his chest, which was bare. His right arm laid across my back. I sighed and took in his scent, everything about his room smelled like him and I loved that. "I love you, Lexi." I said barely audible. "Love you, too." I smiled and soon enough I was out again, asleep on Alex. As always I was so glad he didn't care, much like when I was little.
