Zyria gasped at the action and Knox let go of Zyria's neck just as she wrapped her arms around his neck standing her tippy toes to reach his height. Knox gripped her waist and tried to desperately pull her closer if it was even possible.

"Knox" Zyria moaned softly between his lips and Knox smiled before kissing her deeply. His hands moved to under her shirt and Zyria giggled softly into the kiss as she felt his fingertips against her bare skin.

"Hey Knox I might have used all of the hot wat- oh my fucking god" Dakota said as she walked out of the bathroom seeing Knox and Zyria who were against the wall in a heated make out session.

Zyria jumped and pulled away from Knox's lips quickly looking at Dakota. She blushed as she pushed Knox's hands out from under her shirt and cleared her throat.

"Hi" Zyria said softly and Dakota shook her head going back into the bathroom; shutting the door quickly.

"Do you think she's mad" Zyria asked Knox who shook his head with a small shrug.

"Who cares" mumbled Knox and he stepped back from Zyria looking back to check on Ares who was still sleeping but had flipped over to lay on his stomach snoring.

"Um" Zyria said softly as she rubbed her arm trying to figure out what just happened. She walked around Knox and sat at the edge of the bed.

"Zyria I really like you and I don't want to scare you by saying that either but I actually do like you a lot and I want to be with you Zyria" Knox said quickly and Zyria frowned biting her lip as she looked at the ground.

"I was trying not to like you honestly but I do and it's so crazy" Knox added as he scratched the back of his neck pacing around the room some.

"Why were you trying not to like me" Zyria asked him as she watching him pace.

"Because Zyria I am not a good person" Zyria rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"Of course the 'I'm bad for you' and the 'you deserve better' line" Zyria said crossing her arms over her chest sighing. Knox frowned and walked up to Zyria sitting down in the hospital chair.

"You know Knox you are the bad boy I'll give you that but you are such a teddy bear in my opinion. You act all tough and big and bad but really just a big softie" Zyria added and Knox glared at the floor.

"You are a glaring teddy bear" Zyria said smiling and Knox playfully glared at her before looking away.

"You haven't really seen me being a true bad boy Zyria" Knox said and Zyria laughed rolling her eyes.

"Oh please" she said and stood up walking to the bathroom knocking on the door.

"Stop rolling your eyes at me Zyria" Knox said standing up. Zyria smirked and smiled.

"And what are you going to do about it Knox Stone." Zyria said softly looking at him causing the boy to smirk.

"Dakota I have to pee come out and stop listening in" Zyria said as she leaned against the door. Knox rolled his eyes and leaned against the wall looking out the window.

"I'm not listening to y'all talking about Knox's lying bad boy game!" Dakota yelled out from inside the bathroom and Zyria smiled laughing.

Dakota opened the door and walked out in a white Nike sweatshirt and black ripped jeans with some blue fuzzy slippers on. Her hair was in a messy bun and she huffed walking to Ares bedside.

"Knox you are a glaring bad boy when it comes to people not in your circle yes but when it comes to your family and friends you are just another teenager" Dakota said sitting down and Knox rolled his eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at her" Zyria said hitting his arm causing him to look at her.

"Don't hit me" he said and Zyria raised her eyebrow before doing it again. Knox smirked and stepped toward her but Zyria quickly ran into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

"So you going to ask her out yet" Dakota asked Knox who looked at her shrugging.

"I don't know" he mumbled and Dakota rolled her eyes.

"Shut up and ask her out" His little sister said and Ares groaned before opening his greenish gray eyes.

"Good afternoon fire" Knox said smiling down at Ares.

Ares looked at his uncle and mother before putting his hand on his throat as his eyes widened.

His heart beat monitor began beating very loudly as his eyes rolled to the back of his head and Dakota quickly stood up from her chair.

"Someone help!"Dakota screamed and Knox rushed out of the hospital room screaming for someone. Zyria hurried out of the bathroom looking around confused.

"Everyone out! Get out!" A nurse yelled as many nurses and doctor hurried into the room. Nurses began moving Zyria and Dakota out of the room.

"No! No please Ares!" Dakota screamed and Zyria grabbed hold of her pulling her out of the room before a nurse closed the door.

"Ares" Dakota cried as she turned in Zyria's arms shoving her head in her chest as she cried loudly. Zyria rubbed her back and Dakota began to sink to the floor causing Zyria to take her to the floor and hold as she cried.

Dakota shook her head as she cried mumbling repeatedly

"My baby"
