“Finn,” Kit says as he and Niall step back into the hospital room.

Niall moves over to Everly’s side, kissing her and whispering something in her ear. I know that it’s about time for us to get ready to leave for Finn’s fight.

Faith comes back over to my side and I help her up onto my lap.

“Do we have to go to the fight?” she whispers and I shake my head.

“Not if you don’t want to. Do you want to stay here and hang out instead?”

She nods excitedly and I kiss her forehead.

“Can we stay with you guys?” I ask the room and I notice that Finn looks relieved that I’ll be here with Sylvie while he’s at his fight.

“Of course,” Everly says as she walks Niall to the door. “We can have girl time while Sylvie rests.”

Sylvie rolls her eyes and I know that she’s sick of lying in the hospital bed. She should be able to go home tomorrow. She was in a car accident and luckily, she wasn’t hurt too bad.

“I’ll be back as soon as the fight is over,” I hear Finn promise Sylvie and she nods, tilting her face up for a kiss.

“Ready?” Kit asks Finn and he frowns but nods.

I look away as he kisses Sylvie goodbye and she wishes him good luck on his fight.

“I’ll be right back. I’m just going to walk them out,” I tell Faith.

She nods distractedly at me and I smile as she turns to start talking to Phoenix about her friend from school.

I take one last look at Phoenix and Faith before I follow Niall, Kit, and Finn out of the hospital room and down the hallway.

Kit is trying to give Finn some last minute advice as we head out to the cars and I fall into step with Niall.

“So, you and Phoenix then?” he asks with a knowing smile and I sigh.

“That obvious, huh?”

“Dude, you looked like you got hit in the stomach when she first walked into the room.”

I wince, though that is kind of how it felt too.

“I kept waiting for you to drop down on one knee and propose to her.”

“I wasn’t that bad,” I complain as we step off of the elevator and all three guys turn to give me a look.

Crap. Was I?

“Good luck,” Finn says and I glare at him.

“I think that’s my line to you,” I joke and he claps me on the shoulder.

“Keep an eye on my girl,” Finn says and I nod.

“Knock ’em out,” I say, giving him a fist bump and he grins.

“I’ll see you soon.”

I watch as they head out to the parking lot before I turn around and head back up to my girls.
