Dedicated to @Katie_Madsen for her kind comments

After having the boys drag me up into one of the uncomfortable hospital chairs I finally calmed down. We were sitting, waiting for the time we can go and see Luke. After an agonizing two hours a nurse came out and led us to Luke's room.

I stood outside the door to the room trying to prepare my self for what I was about to see. Once I thought I was good to go I stepped into the room.

None of my prepping could have helped with this. Luke's head was bandaged heavily and even through that blood was still seeping out. His left arm was in a cast and his right leg was being held on a suspension cable from the bed also covered by a cast. So in other words he looked like absolute shit.

Seeing Luke like this reminded me of the time that he got beat up trying to save me from a horny jock named Cory who went to our school.

 "Get off of me!" I yell at Cory, the biggest jock in school. He grabbed my face and slammed our lips together. He backed me up against the wall in the janitor's closet and pushed his lower half against mine.

The only thing going through my mind was the fact that this ISN'T Luke.

Cory takes his lips off mine to get his breath back.

"LUKE!" I scream as loud as I could. "HELP ME!"

"Lover boy isn't here to save you this time," Cory said reconnecting our lips.

While he was busy getting turned on I kicked him in his junk causing him to fall to the ground clutching his dick. I dart for the door, it luckily being unlocked. I run out and start running around the school. It was completely abandoned and right when I was about to give up hope I ran into someones chest. I screamed, thinking I had run into Cory but looked up to see Luke looking at me with worried eyes.

"Hey, calm down. Why were you running?"

Just then Cory comes barreling around the corner, face red with anger directed toward no one but me. I gulped and a tear slipped out of my right eye as I hid behind Luke.

Cory finally looked up, seeing Luke and stopping right before he ran into him. Luke finally got what was going on and his worried expression turned into one of hatred. Luke steps forward at swings a punch, hitting Cory right in the jaw. His face turns sideways from the force of the impact. He recovers and punches Luke in the stomach causing Luke to groan and bend over clutching his stomach. During this time Cory knees toward Luke's face hitting his lip making it split open on impact.

I walk over to Cory completely outraged by the fact he had just beaten up my boyfriend. I go and use all of my force to punch him right in the nose. I thanked myself for wearing rings today when I heard the nasty crunch of a bone breaking. His nose automatically started gushing blood.

I looked back over at Luke to see him smirking. I walk over to him and he gently puts his hands on my face moving it side to side.

"What are you doing?" I giggled

"You have bruises on your cheeks," He says "Did he do this to you?"

"Yea" I answer quietly.

"I'm so sor-" Luke started to apologize.

"No, I'm sorry. You got hurt way more than me!" I said.

I lift up his shirt to where Cory punched him. I see the purple of an already forming bruise. I lightly trail my fingers over the area and he winces.

"I'm so sorry!" I exclaim quickly.

I look up into his eyes and smile. I then look to his lips and see that his bottom lip was still bleeding. I raise my hand up and wipe off the blood with my thumb. We both slowly lean in and share a passionate kiss that absolutely took my breath away.

As I came back to my senses I started studying all of his features since I knew it would be the last time I saw him in person. His beautiful blond hair was messed up and had specks of dried blood in it. He was in a hospital gown but his bloodied clothes were being held underneath his bed until someone could dispose of them. Even as he was I still though he looked like the most beautiful creature on the face of the planet.

The fact that this is all my fault kept sinking further and further into my brain, making me realize he doesn't need someone who does this to him in his life. I stood right by his bed and reached for his hand, clasping his cold hands in mine. I had to hold him one last time.

Just then the doctor came in to tell us what all happened to Luke. He looked to be a little older than middle aged. His brown hair becoming sparse at the top of his head. He wore the old time metal glasses with thick lenses. He was dressed in a typical white lab coat and black dress pants. In his hands were a clipboard.

"Are you Luke's family?" He asks

"Uh, no. We're his close friends and band members. And that's his girlfriend," Ashton answers.

"Ex girlfriend," I say quietly, not wanting to truly accept the fact that we were over. The boys looked over at me, shocked looks on their faces. I lowered my gaze as the doctor cleared his throat and continued.

"Luke has a severe concussion which is going to cause him to have amnesia. Now what you need to know is to help him remember everything again is to talk him over what you all have been through and maybe even recreate some memories. He has a broken arm which as you can see, we've already taken care of and fractured a bone in his leg. Now the best thing for his leg is to keep it elevated. Lastly, he broke one of his ribs which for that to heal just make sure he doesn' get shoved or tries to move too much. We will be keeping him here until he wakes up which could be a while."

He then walks out and shuts the door, leaving us to try and soak up what he had just told us.

"Don't tell him about me!" I shriek to the guys, causing them to jump.

"Why?" Asks Calum

"It'll be for the better! I'll move somewhere and Luke's life will be so much better without me," I try to explain. "If you don't tell Luke about me he won't remember all of the bad memories I came with."

"Mel, are you sure about this?"

"Positive."

(A.N.) Woah guys. That was intense and you got to see a cute little moment of Melody and Luke. Isn't Mel just one awesome badass? Beating up douches and all that.
