Well I'm completely healed now and I don't have my cast anymore.

Zach is doing okay but he still gets those nightmares once in awhile. He's been in the hospital since he came see me that day we made up so I thought I'd go and surprise him today.

I got out of bed (my actual bed) and walked into my closet and and pulled out some black leggings and a grey tshirt. I put in some tie dye vans and threw my hair up in a messy bun then grabbed my phone and walked out my room.

"Hey mom can you bring me see Zach?" I asked walking into the kitchen.

"Yeah let me get your sister and the keys. I'll meet you in the car."

She bought the house back from Shawn because she says she doesn't want anything bad happening again.

Shawn's out touring with Austin right now so I haven't talked to him in a while.

It's now September and my birthday is coming up in a few days. I'm not really excited to turn 15. I don't want to grow up.

School started already and it's so boring without Zach there. Yeah I have Marie Javeon Robert Ray and Ty but it just isn't the same without him.

My mom walked out of the house with my sister and she unlocked the car and I climbed in the passenger seat.

Hospital

We walked into the building and I walked up to the lady at the front desk. (Just a warning I have no idea what a mental hospital is like so don't judge me if I get something wrong.)

"Excuse me. What room is Zachary Clayton in?" I asked politely. She looked at me with a bitchy face then started typing something on the computer.

"He's in room 321. Go to the third floor." She rolled her eyes while pointing at the elevators.

I rolled my eyes back then waved at my mom and Gracie to follow me to the elevators. I hit the 3 and stood there waiting for the doors to open.

When they opened I found his room and looked in the window. He was laying there looking up at the ceiling.

I knocked then opened the door and he didn't ever turned to look to see who it was.

"I told you I'm fine. I don't need medicine." He said still not looking.

"Okay then I'll just leave." I said looking at him smiling. He looked at me and smiled.

"Lashea?! What are you doing here?" He got up and came ingulf me in a hug. I squeezed him tight and put my head in the crook of his neck.

"I came to surprise you." We still stood there hugging until I pulled away from him and put my arms around his neck.

I smiled up at him and he kissed the top of my head. I kissed his chest then laid my head back on it.

"I miss you." I said pulling away and holding his hands.

"Baby I miss you too but I have to be here. I need these things to go away. I need to get better."

"I know." I said putting my head down. He let go of my hands and grabbed both of my cheeks. I closed my eyes and held his arms.

"Baby look at me." I opened my eyes and stared back into his. "I'm trying to get through this but I can't do it without you. I love you so much." I smiled and closed my eyes again and he kissed my head.

I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tight. "I love you." I said looking up at him. We exchanged smiles and I put my hand in his hair and trailed it down to his cheek.
