[Evalina's POV]

"She's going to be okay, at least."

"Remember, Charmz, don't be mad."

"I'll never be mad. Upset's one thing, but never mad at her."

"Wait, shhh.... I think she's waking up..."

"Eva.... babe..."

My eyes fluttered open and I look, seeing 5 pairs of familiar worried eyes looking down at me.

"G-Guys??" I stuttered.

All of a sudden, I felt arms around me, and someone crying into my shoulder, air knocked out of me.

"Please don't do it again!! Please, please!!" Arielle cried as she was squeezing me, crushing my ribs.

"Ari... Cant ... Breathe..." I gasped out.

"Ari, take it easy," Brandon said, pulling Arielle from me.

I take a deep breath, seeing I was in a hospital room and sat up, then feeling something pricking my arm and look, seeing I had an IV needle.

"W-What happened??" I asked.

"You collapsed, Evalina. Doctor's said you haven't eaten in days, almost a week!" Virtual said, her eyes red and puffy.

I froze, and looked down in shame.

"Oh..." I said, feeling tears stream down.

"Guys, can I have a moment with Eva, please?" Chris asked.

Oh no...

"We'll be outside," Brandon said, his arm around Arielle as they exited, Arielle wiping her eyes dry.

"Okay," Chris said as Brandon and Arielle walked out.

Virtual then walked up and hugged me tight and I literally lost it and clung to her, sobbing.

"Sshhh, its okay. You're okay," Charmz said.

We pull back and I nod.

"I'll be back," she said. I nodded and watch as she takes Kevin's hand before waking out, Chris closing the door.

He probably hates me now...

He sat by me on the bed, but I couldn't look him in the face.

"Eva," he said, a sad tone in his voice.

"I'm sorry," I cried.

"Eva, look at me," he said, his fingers cupping under my chin as he gently lifts my head to look at him.

"You hate me, don't you??" I asked.

I expected a 'yes' or something... but instead he leaned in and kissed me softly.

I froze in surprise, but immediately relax and kiss him back.

We then pull back and I look at him with surprise.

"I would never hate you, Evalina. Why would I?" he asked

"Maybe because I'm a mess," I mumbled.

"No you're not, Eva," he said. "You're an awesome girl. You're nice, you're beautiful, you're really talented... You're the most amazing girl I've ever met. I know life has never been easy before, but you won't ever have to face it again, cuz its all in the past. If it ever happens, I'm always gonna be by your side, Eva."

"Wow... No guy has ever said that to me," I admitted.

"Well, now a guy is saying it," he smiled. "And I'm gonna help you through this."

I couldn't help but smile back as we leaned in and hugged again.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you, too," I said, smiling a bit as he kissed my forehead.

I had a feeling everything was going to be okay now.

It wasn't long until a doctor walked in, removing my IV and telling me I need to start eating healthy and right, or I'll be at risk of getting too sick. I was given the all clear and we all went home.
