Strike Hard: Miguel Diaz x Female!Reader

Chapter 51- It happened

Miguel's feet pounded against the tiled floor as he sprinted through the hospital. The minute Carmen got the call that Y/N was awake, Miguel was out the door, running to the hospital. In his haste, he forgot that he could've gone with his mom in the car.

Miguel skidded to a halt, nearly falling as he stopped in front of the familiar room. There she was. The doctors had taken off the brace so she could sit up properly. Her hair was slightly messy and she looked a little tired but she was still beautiful. Always has been, always will be. Miguel walked into the room with a smile when he saw-

"Mom?!" He questioned making everyone in the room turn to him. Carmen was standing at Y/N's bedside, running her hands through the girl's hair. "Yes, Miggy?" She asked back. "How did you get here so fast?" He asked. "I drove."

This made Y/N giggle which in turn made Miguel smile. "Hey N/N. How're you feeling?" He asked softly, coming to her bedside. "Other than the fact that I can't feel anything below my waist, I feel fine." She joked. Miguel slightly winced at her joke. Well, at least she's trying to make herself feel better about it.

"Where's Johnny?" Y/N asked, looking at Miguel and Carmen. The two exchanged a look. To be honest, they had no idea where Johnny was. Suddenly a doctor walked into the room, smiling at Y/N. "Oh, it's you again." Y/N groaned. The doctor chuckled. "It's my job, Y/N." He answered. "Yeah, yeah just do what you need to do."

The doctor walked over to Y/N and lifted her arm, bending it back and forth. "You're progressing nicely. How does this feel?" He asked. "Fine." She mumbled in response. The doctor started rubbing her hand. "What about this?" He asked. "Normal." She replied. The doctor nodded before walking towards Y/N's feet. He lifted up the covers and started moving his hand up and down her leg before grabbing her foot and rotating it. "How about this?"

If Y/N hadn't seen him touching her foot, she wouldn't have known he was doing it. "No," Y/N replied gloomily. Miguel, noticing this, grabbed her hand in comfort. "How about this?" The doctor asked, poking Y/N's toes with his pen. "No." She replied again. Miguel squeezed her hand. "That's...that's ok." The doctor said hesitantly. 

"So what now?" Y/N asked. "We're gonna take it one step at a time. Ms. Diz, can I talk to you outside?" The doctor asked. Carmen nodded and left the room with the doctor. Once the door was closed, the two sat in silence. Miguel wanted to say something so bad but what was he supposed to say? Right now wasn't the time to confess his undying love for her. Or was it?

"So what was it like?" Miguel asked. Y/N glanced at him. "What was what like?" Y/N asked back. "The, uh..." Miguel trailed off. "You want to know what my coma was like?" Y/N questioned with a raised eyebrow. "y-yeah. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to-"

"No, it's fine. Might be better to talk about it anyways. It was...weird, I guess. It felt like I was sleeping but I couldn't move anything or do anything. I could hear everything though."

"What do you mean?"

"Like I could hear everything going on around me. The machines, the doctors, the nurses, you."

"Y-you heard me?"

"Yeah, I can't remember what you said though. What did you say?"

Miguel sighed and ran a hand through his jet-black hair. It's now or never. Miguel cleared his throat. "Well, I said how sorry I was for everything, how much I missed you, and how much I...how much I love you." He said, meekly. Y/N tilted her head in confusion. Why was he scared to say he loved her? They were best friends, of course, they loved each other. "I love you too Miguel. Why were you worried about saying it?" Y/N asked.

Miguel looked at her for a second before realizing what she was asking. She thought he meant it platonically. Miguel took a deep breath before grabbing Y/N's hand and scooting his chair close to her. "That's not what I meant Y/N. I don't love you, I'm in love with you." He admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. Y/N's breathe caught in her throat. "A-are you being serious?" She stammered. "I've never been more serious in my life."

Y/N just stared into his eyes, unable to process anything. Miguel's eyes flickered to down to her lips before flicking back up to her eyes, like he was asking for permission. Y/N nodded her head ever so slightly. That's all Miguel needed.

Miguel leaned and connected their lips, making time stop. Y/N felt fireworks explode in her stomach as Miguel dropped her hand and placed his hand on the base of her neck, pushing her closer. Y/N thought she was dreaming. His lips were unbelievably soft and they tasted like chocolate. Miguel, on the other hand, had to stop himself from falling out of the chair as his lips moved in sync with Y/N's. She tasted like cherries.

Soon air became a factor and the two broke apart, slightly gasping. Y/N wrapped her arms around Miguel's neck and leaned her forehead against his, their noses brushing. "I'm in love with you too, Miguel." She whispered. Miguel smiled and kissed her nose. "Well, then would you mind going out with me?" He asked with a teasing tone. Y/N giggled. "I thought you'd never ask."
--------------------------------
Johnny stumbled through the hospital, his face more bruised than the last time he was there. He wanted to check on Y/N again since he felt guilty about not visiting her so often. And he felt guilty about going to look for Robby, the boy who hurt her. Still, Robby was Johnny's son, nothing was going to change that.

Johnny found her room and walked in to find her sleeping. She wasn't wearing the brace, he noticed. That's odd. As far as he knew, she was still in a coma.

Johnny sighed and dropped down into the plastic chair next to her bedside. He reached over and grabbed her hand. He dropped his gaze down to the floor and just stared at it. This was all his fault. 

Y/N, feeling someone grab her hand, opened her eyes. She turned her head to see Johnny with his head bowed. She could just make out the beard that had grown and his multiple bruises. "You look like shit." She stated. Johnny's head snapped up and he stared at Y/N with wide eyes. "Y-you're awake." He stammered. Y/N smiled. "Yeah, I am."

Johnny not knowing what to do, flung himself forward, pulling her into a hug. "I'm so sorry this is all my fault." He said. Y/N shook her head no and lightly pulled him off of her. "Hey it's not your fault, all right? I don't blame you for what happened." Y/N reassured. Johnny nodded before hugging her again. Y/N smiled and hugged him back. "It's going to be ok." She whispered to him. Johnny nodded and placed a kiss on her head. What would he do without this kid?
