Ugh, where am I? "Oh, good, you woke up" Who's that? *GASP* ZACH. "What the...? Where am I?!" Getting worked up, I start to get up, but a sharp pain rose in my arm. "OWW!" Ugh, what is going on?! "Just calm down, you're in a hospital and someone is worried sick about you" What? "Who?" Looking behind himself, he calls someone over. Barely able to see, a person approaches, but I immediately recognize them. Preston. What the heck?! I thought he hated my guts! "Umm, hi..." Why is he so shy, he shouldn't feel guilty, he has every right to be mad at me. "Hi, could you tell me what the heck happened?" Trying to avoid the awkwardness in the air, I tried to change the subject from going down the drain. Hopefully it works. "Oh, right, I probably should have told you that right away" Finally, some answers.

He comes over and sits in a chair facing me "Well, there was a blizzard and you were in it. You went down and were out there for like 15 minutes before I looked outside and saw you laying down in the snow" Woah, I can't believe that actually happened! "I decided to be a man and go get you, I couldn't bear to see you out there anymore" He really does care, why did I have to screw everything up? "Well, I appreciate it, I probably would have been a goner if it weren't for you" With a blush, he says "No problem" I need to make this right. "Preston, can we have a private talk?" He looks at Zach and shoo's him off. "Yeah, I think a talk would be in order" Here it goes.

Adjusting myself slowly so I'm sitting up right, I begin to say "Look, about Zach..." Preston looks down and tries hard not to cry. "I was getting my snow stuff on. Apparently I was in the doorway and you can imagine what was up in the air. I guess Zach had the nerves to make a move on me and took the opportunity. He sped-walked to me and looked at me with a promising look. He looked up and so did I, before I could even react, he just kissed me. You were right there and when everything was over, I knew that I was screwed. That's the story" Preston looks back up, confusion in his eyes. "Look, I know you have no right to believe what I'm saying, but I'm telling you the truth. I pinkie promise" I hold out my pinkie, and with a reluctant voice, he says "Forever and always?" I say, "Forever and always" and he locks his pinkie with mine. We both smile and know that we're ok.

Getting up out of his chair, he sits on my bed and plays with my toes. "Stop that, it tickles!" Laughing so hard made everything bad disperse into the past where it belongs. I had no care in the world and it felt great. After saying nothing for a while, Preston says "Well, it's good to hear that, I didn't want to believe that you'd do that to me. I'd still probably forgive you. God, I love you so much Skylar, it's not even funny" Woah, that got really intense really fast. I like it ;D
(A/N Omg, I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist XD) "Well, Mr. Preston, I could say the same thing about you" Smiling, we both get closer. You can imagine what happens next. Woah, this one is different. (A/N Gonna keep it PG XD)

After that new kiss, we both knew, right then and right there, that this is more than just a little puppy love. This is real, and I love it. Pretty much nothing happened after that, I got out of the hospital and a ride to my house. When I got home, we both locked pinkies again and said "Forever and always" with a tiny kiss goodbye. Walking home, I realize that my life was so much worse without Preston, and I'm glad that Mom moved here. Opening the front door, I noticed that the lights were on. What the heck? I walked inside and saw something that I would have never expected. Daddy!

(TO ALWAYS BE CONTINUED XD)
