Harder Than Before -Sequel to NAE-

Chapter 5

-Cassi's POV-

I've always hated hospitals. Right now I'm watching re-runs of SpongeBob with Skylnn, Nash, Hayes, and Matt while Nila and my dad are talking to my doctor.

"Okay Ms. Grier, we are going to give you a special breathing gas to make you fall asleep for some time okay?" Dr. Shultz told me and I nodded.

"I love you guys" I whispered as they put the gas mask things on my face. I only felt that they were pulling me away.

-Matt's POV-

I watched her being rolled away and that was so painful to see. We met up with the rest of the guys who would be sitting with us in the seven hours we had to wait until her surgery was done.

"We're back!!" Lauren and Carter announce while walking into the waiting room with coffee and donuts. Everyone goes to grab stuff but I don't. "Matt you okay?" Lauren asked me.

"Yeah, I'm good" I sit with my head in between my knees.

"She'll be okay bro, just remember that." Carter told me while rubbing my back.

We spent the surgery waiting time interacting with fans. Seven hours gave us a pretty decent time to do that.

-

"Family members for Cassidy Grier?" Dr. Shultz came out. All of us stood up. "Okay that's all of you, please, follow me"

We followed her to Cassi's room. She opened the door and we followed her inside.

She was laying on the hospital bed with a breathing tube hooked up to her beautiful face.

"She should be awake soon. Surgery went fantastic and we are going to call you in a few days to tell you the results of the tumor testing to see if Cassidy has cancer." The doctor says out loud while we all stare at Cassi.

"The stitches should come out in a week or two. She might have trouble remembering school things so I suggest a tutor for awhile." She adds and we all turn to her.

"What about names, speech, memory?" Chad asks her.

"She shouldn't have a problem with any of that. She will wake up confused. Is she a sleep talker?" We all look around and Malory speaks up.

"Was she saying stuff about Matt?" She smirks my way.

"As a matter fact she was"

"Well that's her boyfriend. She talks about him non stop. Sleeping or not."

I smile and look back over to Cassi. "I talk about her non stop as well." I blush like an idiot and the guys come over to me mocking me with my feelings

But I don't care.

I love Cassidy Mae Grier.

It's been a half hour and Cassi started to wake up.

She rubbed her head and looked around. "Nash?" She whispered. He walked walked over and sat her on her hospital bed. "Where's my phone?"

He grabbed it from her backpack and handed it to her. She was trying to remember her password and then Malory showed her. 0613. The date we started dating.

She logged on snapchat. "Hey guys! I'm out of surgery!" She was perky and once she posted it on her story she payed back down. "I wanna go home" she groaned. I walked over and sat next to her. She layed her head in my chest and cuddled into my side.

"The doctor said if your able to walk okay, you can go home tomorrow. She said you might've forgotten some of the things you've learned in school and that's why Nash has offered to tutor you until you gain those things back" Nila told her and she nodded.
