-Nick, is my hot bestfriend from Australia.-

Lili's PoV

It's been three days since I last saw Ryder. Tomorrow, I'm finally leaving.

I hate hospitals.

Ryder didn't come to visit at all after the night we spent together.

Sam and Nat are here with me and we're in a very intense game of...

...UNO.

Sam throws a red card, making me squeal internally.

I only have one more card left before I win and they have no idea what card I'm holding.

They both glare at me.

Nat throws a yellow card.

I fake frown.

"Oh, dang." I say and pretend to reach out for another card. They smile proudly and when they least expected it...boom!

I throw a +4 card and yell, "UNO!!"

They both gape at me in disbelief.

"I win. I win. You lose. You lose." I point at them while singing my winning song.

"That's not fair." Nat throws her cards on the bed.

"I obviously let you win." Sam says and I give her a blank look.

"Oh, really? You can barely even spread your cards on one hand." I say.

She scoffs.

"Round two?" I ask, amused.

"Hell no!" They say.

I laugh at them as we do our stuff for the rest of the night.

"Freedom!" I say as I walk out the automatic sliding door of the hospital but wince when my wound hurts a little.

(Ootd: grey oversized sweatshirt and sky blue denim shorts)

"Stupid little girl." Kyle says.

"Hey! I heard that. I may have a bullet wound but my hands are perfectly fine!" I say, pulling his ear.

He winces and crouches down a little.

"Hey, hey, hey! Ouch! I'm sorry, okay?!" He says and I release his ear which is now red.

He rubs it and glares at me.

I shrug.

"You deserved it." I say and walk ahead of him.

He huffs and walks faster with me to the parking lot.

"Where is mum and dad?" I ask.

"About that..." He trails off. "They went to visit ma."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" I say, panicking a little.

"She got into an accident. But she's okay...ish." He says.

"As long as she's fine." I say.

"So, what about Oggy?" I ask.

"He's staying with uncle Ashton and aunt Tessa." He says.

"Dang it. Now, I'm gonna be the only sane person in the house." I mumble.

He glares at me.

I smile at him innocently.

I look ahead of me only to be met with the one guy that's been on my head for the past four days.

"What's Mr. Gira-Ryder, doing here?" I ask Kyle.
