He slowly opens his eyes.

"Oh thank god your awake." Not even thinking I crash my lips to. Just a lingering kiss. I pull back and he has a confused look on his face.

"I'm so glade your awake. I've missed you so much." I cry caressing his cheek with my thumb. He is just staring at me. He opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out. "I love you so much." I sob. He does it again then clears his throat. The it dawns on me. "You want something to drink?" I sniff. He nods his head yes so I let go getting him some water. I bring it back and start to bring his head up and bring the cup to his lips as he tries to do it on his own. "No babe. You haven't used your body in a while just let me do it." he gives me another confused look but nods letting me do it. He slowly takes a couple of sips. I bring it from his lips laying his head back down. "How are you feeling? Any pain?" he shakes his head no. He opens his mouth again but nothing comes out. He clears his throat a couple of times.

"Stiff." he whispers.

"Yeah. You've been here a while." he nods closing his eyes he opens then again. "You want to sit up?" he nods his head so I push the button sitting him up. I sit next to him taking his hand. I cup his face with my other hand and caress his cheek. "I love you so much. I know it's my fault but please don't ever do this to me again. I've miss you so much."

"Where am I?" he whispers.

"Hospital." he nods and looks around.

"Umm who are you?" he whispers looking back at me. I stop everything just stare at him shocked.

"You don't remember me?" I whisper dropping my hand.

"Sorry no but you look familiar." I jump up pushing the nurses button a couple seconds later the nurse comes on.

"What can I do for you Liam?" she chirps.

"Get the doctor in here."

"Everything okay?"

"Get him in here now! He's awake."

"Good news so why are you mad?"

"He fucking doesn't remember me. Get him in here!" I practically growl.

"Oh." she disconnects and I start pacing pissed off. What the fuck? How can he not remember me.

"Liam." the doctor says coming in.

"He doesn't remember me! Why the fuck not?!" I yell at him.

"I told you to be prepared for this. Let me have a look at him before you go ballistic." he never told me to prepare for this. I just nod glaring at him. He walks over to him with a kind smile.

"Good to see you awake Beau." he chirps. "Can you tell me what year it is?"

"Water." Beau whispers. I quickly get him his water bringing it to his lips again. Beau rattles off a year.

"Okay what's the last thing you remember." Beau thinks for a minute as I just stand there hoping he can remember me.

"Going to bed." he whispers. The doctor nods his head. "How old are you?"

"16." he answers. I groan loudly shaking my head. Great he thinks he's 16. Perfect.

"No Beau your 21." the doctor say. Beau looks at him confused.

"Hey Hun.....oh my god Beau! Your awake!" mom yells coming in the room. She runs to him throwing herself at him. "My baby is awake. Liam he's awake." she says hugging him crying. Like I didn't know. Beau is staring at me like she's nuts.

"I know mom. I'm standing right here. Let go so the doctor can look at him."

"Right...sorry...he's awake." she says crying now. She pulls back. "I'm so glad your awake baby." mom sobs kissing his forehead. She looks at me confused. "Why aren't you happy about this son?" I gulp loudly trying to push down the lump in my throat.

"I am mom but umm he doesn't remember me."

"Do you remember her?" the doctor ask Beau.

"No should I?" he whispers.

"Oh dear." mom says. "What's wrong with him?" she asked the doctor.

"As I explained before.."

"You never have explained anything like this." I cut in.

"Yes he has Liam. You just chose to ignore it." Sammie says coming in. I groan loudly again. "Good to see you awake hottie." Sammie chirps coming to him giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Why the hell do you two look so much like some people I go to school with?" he whispers.

"Huh?" Sammie says confused.

"He doesn't remember."

"Oh shit."

"Well I got rounds to make." the doctor says walking to the door.

"That's it?" I asked stunned. I really hate these doctors here.

"Like I was saying and explained before. Due to the amount of blood loss and damage done. He has amnesia."

"Will he ever get his memory back?"

"That's hard to say. Now if you'll excuse me." then he walks out.

"Mom call his personnal doctor!" I demand. That stupid ass doctor. I hate him so much. Heartless bastard.

"On it." that's one reason Jack hired another doctor. They just don't seem to care here.

"Could someone explain what the hell is going on and who you people are? Where's my parents?"

"He'll be here in a couple of hours." mom says. I nod sighing heavily.

"Do you know who you are?" I ask. I had to make sure.

"Yeah. Beau Hunter." I nod.

"Okay. Your 21. You were in a....well a gay bashing apparently but I think it was more than that." I'm not sure what else to tell him. "Ummm you haven't talked to your parents in 3 years." I finish.

"Why not?"

"You told them you were gay and....."

"They didn't go to well." he finishes.

"Yeah."

"So are you who I think you are?"

"Who do you think I am?"

"Liam Cross." I smile brightly at that. "And your Samantha." he says nodding towards her.

"Yeah I am."

"So umm why you here?"

"We've been dating for the "last five years."

"Huh?"

"Yep five years. Since sophomore year of high school."

"Really?"

"Yeah really."

"Nu uh."

"Yep."

"So your gay."

"Yeah I'm gay." I chuckle.

"Five years?"

"Yeah five long years. We are suppose to get married."

"What do you mean suppose to?"

"Well we had plans in getting married last summer but then this happen."

"Are we still getting married?"

"I don't know." I whisper.

"What do you mean?" I've never keep anything from him so I'm not going to start now. So I sit beside him and take his hand.

"When this happen. We were at a party....we didn't spend alot of time together that night like we usually do. I was ready to go home so I went to look for you.....I found you...kissing a guy named Chris. One of your friends from the football team."

"I don't know a Chris."

"Yeah you do. He umm is on the team."

"No there's not."

"Oh...yeah collage football team."

"Oh.....I play collage football." he asked shocked.

"Yep. Best quaterback out there." I tell him proudly.

"I've always wanted to play collage football."

"Yeah and you were. Until this happen. We went to a celebration party like always after a game." he nods.

"Go on."

"Well after I caught y'all I said something I can't remember what all I remember was I was trying to keep my temper in check. I landed up just walking out. You called after me but I keep going. I left going straight to our apartment. I just went to bed next thing I know I get a call from Sammie saying get to the hospital you were here so I hauled ass up here. After hours of waiting around Chris shows up saying y'all have been dating behind my back. He told me the night I caught y'all you were going to break it off. He had your fucking engagement ring on him." I finish in tears. He clears his throat again.

"Did you believe him?" He says louder gaining his voice. I get his water bring it to his lips letting him take a couple of sips before answering.

"No. Our relationship might not have been perfect but we told each other everything even it was bad. I had to hear it from you."

"Good because I don't think I would have cheated on you."

"Umm Beau you have before."

"No way. Liam I've been in love with you since you walked into our school."

"Yeah. I know you told me but in Jr year...how can I say this."

"Just say it."

"In Jr year your parents bugged you to get a girlfriend...."

"But you said I came out to them?" he says confused. I nod.

"Yeah senior year. Before than we keep our relationship a secert." he nods. "We started dating sophomore year, Jr year you got a girlfriend to keep up pretenses."

"You were okay with that?"

"Not really but I understood." he nods again. "As long as you weren't sleeping with her. I dealt with it. So you stayed with her. Senior year she landed up pregnant. Yeah I was pissed, we broke up because as far as I knew you were still a virgin. You lied and cheated on me for 6 months. Come to find out she was blackmailing you....threatening to expose us. Me I didn't care."

"But I did."

"Yeah."

"What happen?"

"Well to make a long story short. The baby wasn't yours."

"Who's was it?"

"Katliyn's dad."

"No shit."

"No shit. Apparently she was having an affair on the side, tried to pin it on you. Sammie found out, kinda recorded it, played it over the intercom. Well let's just say that's how you got outed."

"Sammie outed me?"

"Yeah. Something about she couldn't sit back and watch two people she loved being miserable." I chuckled.

"And you took me back after that. Why?"

"Because I love you more than anything." I nods again.

"How did my patents find out?"

"You told them. They kicked you out."

"Explain everything. I guess I'm not getting everything."

"Okay. Where do you want me to start?"

"Umm well I'm not sure. Last thing I actually remember about us is we didn't get along." I laughed at that. He's right we didn't. About a year ago he finally told me why he didn't like me.

"Right. Well at the beginning of sophomore year we didn't. Then we were paired to do a project together and we started talking, after that we stopped. One day you and your friends seen us at the park playing basketball and asked if y'all could play, after that y'all started to show up whenever we did. About two weeks later you asked me out. Of course I said yes. You took me to your cousins school fair. A couple of days after my 16th birthday you asked me to be your boyfriend of course I said yes but we hide our relationship from everybody but mom and Sammie. And we were fine with it because well different clicks you didn't want to come out and mom didn't want me to come out. We spent as much as time as we could together. We mostly hung out at my house. Jr year you got a girlfriend senior year we broke up for a couple of months because of her lie you come out to your parents, they kicked you out you moved in with us, Sammie played the recording we got back together. We've been together since. We go to the same collage mom got us an apartment. Now here we are."

"You believe this Chris guy though right?"

"I honestly don't know what to believe."

"I don't. I mean come on the first time I saw you walk thru the doors of the school I was in love. But I didn't think you were gay."

"I know that's why you hated me." I chuckled.

"I guess I figured it out huh?"

"Yeah. You told me when you asked me out. You thought I was considering you never saw me with a girl but Sammie and I was hot." he groans leaning his head back.

"I told you I thought you were hot."

"Yep after you got I over your almost panic attack." I chuckled.

"Great I had a panic attack."

"Almost."

"Tell how I asked you out."

"We'll we were taking a break from our game sitting next to each other. You asked if you could ask me a question, I said sure you rushed out will you go out with me. To say the least I was shocked and didn't answer you right away. So you panicked. Started to appologize saying how you thought I was gay because you never saw me with a girl besides Sammie and I was hot, how your friends didn't know you were gay you begged me not to say anything to anyone after your rant I busted out laughing. Sorry but it was funny. After I calmed down I apologized for laughing and told you I wouldn't tell anyone and said yes but it took you a minute to catch on to the last part. You were worried I was going to blab.

"But I caught on."

"Yep. Took me to you cousins school carnival fair thingy. We rode rides, played games."

"What else can you tell me?"

"You believe everything I'm telling you?"

"Yeah I have no reason not to. Everything your telling just feels right."

"What about Chris?"

"Truthfully."

"Yeah."

"It just doesn't feel right."

"It could be true."

"It could be but it doesn't to me. You know when you get the feeling something is a lie."

"Yeah."

"Well it just feels like a lie. It feels wrong and sounds wrong."

"Truthfully I got a bad vibe from him when I first meet him but he was your friend so I let it go. Maybe when you see him something will click. Well that's if you see him."

"What do you mean?"

"He hasn't came to see you since that night. I haven't seen him at school. Someone said he dropped out. So I don't know."

"See its not true. How long have I been asleep?"

"You weren't asleep. You were in a coma."

"Coma how long?"

"A year 2 weeks ago."

"A year?"

"Yeah."

"Shit."

"Yeah."

"What exactly happen?"

"I'm not sure. All anybody knows is that one or more people beat the shit out of you while you were walking home."

"Nobody knows what happen?"

"No all I know is we went to the party I got bored found you and Chris, left pissed got a call. Sammie and Tristan found you. They were walking back to our place...."

"Heard groaning me and Tristan checked it out. We found you beaten up pretty bad called 911, they came took you to the hospital the cops said it was a gay bashing." Sammie finishes for me. I forgot they were here.

"How bad?"

"Broken body, shot, head busted open in a couple of places. They....well nobody thought you were going to make it." I tell him in tears again. "I'm sorry Beau it's all my fault." I sob.

"How is it your fault?"

"If I would have made you stay home or if I never would have walked out. I should of stayed and let you explain. It would have never of happened. We would have walked home together. You wouldn't be laying here right now. I'm so sorry." I sob.

"Do you know why I left the party?"

"We assume to chase after Liam. You left seconds after after he stormed out." Sammie says.

"See if I would have stayed."

"No Liam it's not your fault. I don't know the actual circumstances as to why I was walking but it's not your fault."

"We walked because the party was a couple of buildings down from us."

"It's not your fault Liam. Understand me?"

"But it is!" I yell. "If I would have made you stay home to relax like I wanted to it would have never of happened! If I didn't walk out of the party it wouldn't of happened!" I keep yelling.

"No Liam you listen to me right now! I've listen to for over a year blame yourself! I'm tired of it! It's not your fault! It's the bastards who did this! The assholes who jumped him! God your a fucking idiot! Did you jump him?! Did you beat him?! Did you try to smash his skull in?! Did you shoot him?!" Sammie yells at me.

"No." I whisper shaking my head.

"Than it's not your fucking fault dumb ass!" I don't say anything.

"Did you have them do it?" mom ask.

"No."

"Did you know it was going to happen?"

"No."

"Son. I know as much as you want to blame yourself. It's not your fault. You didn't know all them things were going to lead up to that. Liam it could have happened to one or both of y'all any time, anywhere, fighting or not, day or night."

"But mom I'm telling you. It wasn't just a gay bashing it was more than that. I know it was." I just a feeling I have.

"Either way it wasn't your fault." Beau says. "Why do you think it's more than a gay bashing?"

"Liam has esp." Sammie chuckles. "It's creepy."

"Just a feeling." I tell him shrugging.

"What do the cops say?" he ask.

"Gay bashing because you had fag written in blood across your chest." Sammie says.

"I didn't know that." I say.

"Umm yeah. The cops didn't want it to get out so they asked us to keep it quiet." she says.

"Damn it Sammie."

"Sorry but I knew if I told you you would go ballistic. Again." I just nod.

"Still think it wasn't a gay bashing?" Beau ask.

"No I still think it was more."

"Did they ever find them or him?"

"No."

"Next question. Why the hell can't I move?" I chuckle at that.

"You haven't moved your body in a year. I've been working it but I can only do so much. Give it time, now that your awake you can slowly start working you muscles." he nods in understanding.

"I'm gonna go call Tristan, Brandon, Mark, Ethan, Tatum, and the rest of the guys."

"Sammie hold on a minute."

"What's up?"

"You can call them just tell them not to tell anybody else."

"Why not?"
