ELIZABETHS POV

The time is 9:15. I paced back and fourth waiting for the doctor to come out with the news. Cory had arrived a few minutes ago, he was sitting on a chair besides Sally who was asleep, she wasn't aware that Cory was here.

When the lady on the phone told me that Troy had gotten in an accident, I rushed down here with Sally. I decided to call Cory and tell him as well, he said he'll be here in five minutes and to my surprise he did get here in five minutes. The doctor said that he's responding to treatments well and that when he's awake, we'll be able to talk to him.

"Elizabeth stop worrying the doctor will be out soon." Cory said slowly shutting his eyes. "Will he be okay?" I asked.

Cory looked at me. "I'm sure he'll be fine." He was about to shut his eyes again but I yelled at him. "Are you sleeping?!"

"No." He muttered. "You can't sleep, you have to stay awake so you can see Troy when he wakes up." I said.

"You're seeing Troy, not me." He said as if to correct me, I sighed. "Why don't you want to see Troy?" I asked.

"The guy hates me."

I didn't know how to respond to that, I can't lie to him and tell him that Troy doesn't hate him because I'm not so sure if he hates him or not. My mind went to myself, Troy hates me too.

"He hates me too so I can't see him."

"He doesn't hate you." Cory said to me while looking at Sally. "You're still seeing him." I said on my defence.

"What's the point of even waiting for him if we're not going to see him?"

The only person here that Troy didn't hate here was Sally so...

"Sally wake up!" I yelled, Sally was a light sleeper so I had no doubt that she'll wake up immediately.

"Don't wake her-" Cory said but it was too late, Sally was already awake.

Sally looked at me then she looked at Cory, she looked at me again then back at Cory. "What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Same purpose as you." Cory said looking at the room Troy was in.

"Is he awake yet?" She asked.

"No, but you're going to see him when he does." I said hoping that Sally would say yes without asking questions.

"Okay." She said relaxing herself on the chair.

Cory let out a relief sigh and Sally thought it was suspicious. "You guys are going to see him too, right?" She asked. We shook our heads simultaneously saying 'no'

"Why not?" She asked almost sounding angry.

"Because we can't." I said, Sally rolled her eyes. "You guys are cowards." She said while getting up.

"Where are you going?" Cory asked curiously. "Home." She said and began walking away from us, she stopped midway. "When you make up your mind to see him you'll let me know." Cory stood up and walked to her, I didn't know what they were talking about but Sally nodded her head and they walked away together leaving me alone.

The doctor came out a few minutes later, she was a woman in her mid 30's and her name was Emma according to her name tag. She told me that Troy was awake and said that I could see him.

As I walked in the room, Troy looked at me and I waved shyly walking nervously to his bedside. There was a long silence, I had nothing to say to him. I started regretting my decisions, I shouldn't have come to the hospital in the first place, I could have stayed at home with Sally. Now I was here and I had nothing to say to him.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

Troy shrugged. "Week."

"Sally and Cory came but they left." I quickly remembered.

"They left together?" He asked and I nodded. "Good for them." He said grinning like he achieved something.

What did Troy mean by 'good for them?' They just left together nothing more than that happened, as if reading my mind Troy answered my question.

"At least they'll talk and clear things up." He said facing the ceiling.

"Do we need to talk?" I honestly didn't know how those words escaped my lips, I regretted saying it but I mostly feared the answer. Troy turned his face away from the ceiling and looked at me.

"Yeah, we do." He said then looked back at the ceiling. My heartbeat rose as I thought of what I was going to say next. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked.

"Us."

SALLYS POV

Cory offered to take me home, he said it was late and I shouldn't be going home by myself. I didn't want to argue so I agreed, I also missed his company.

The car ride was silent, there was a lot of tension between us. We talked in school and he said he'll forgive me if I forgave Elizabeth and I did but why is he still behaving like we had another argument?

"Are you still mad at me?" I asked. Cory gave me a look before facing the road. "Why would I be mad at you?"

I shrugged. "Because you're not saying anything, it feels weird." I said.

"If I was mad at you I wouldn't have offered to take you home." He said.

"Maybe you're just trying to be nice."

"Well, I'm not mad at you." He said bluntly.

"Your tone says otherwise." I argued.

"Do you want me to be mad at you?" He asked angrily and I shook my head. "Why would I want that?"

"Because you're starting a fight." He said pulling over, we reached my house but I refused to get down. "I'm not starting a fight!"

"You're doing it again Sally." He said trying to sound calm.

"I'm not doing anything!" I yelled. "You're the one who doesn't want to talk to me!" I added.

"What am I doing now?" He asked.

"You're arguing, that's what you're doing!" I said coming out of the car, Cory came out too. I walked towards my house but Cory stopped me. "Sally what is your problem?"

I sighed in frustration. "I don't have a problem it's just... it's just..." I was lost of words to say. "Just what?" He asked

"I'm sorry about that night, okay? It was probably one of the worse decisions that I'd ever made, kissing you for Elizabeth and Troy to see, I was jealous and selfish. But none of those things matter anymore cause all I can think about these days is you." I blurted out.

Cory stood there and he didn't say a word. "And all I want is us but you don't want to forgive me." I said the last part sadly, it was hard to say the truth but it was nice to finally let it out. The next thing I knew was Cory smashing his lips on mine and me kissing him back...
