Hi hello!! I hope everyone's doing so so amazing ! I have another chapter coming soooon and I really hope you like this one!

It's a lil bit short and I'm so sorry for that but fingers crossed the next one will be out soon !

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

The morning sun made being awake so unbearable. It was just frustrating because all I wanted to do was go home and be normal again.

I want to forget about my dad and his stupid new wife.

I want to be fine.

Sal looked so peaceful, curled up next to me with his mask off. It was kind of nice that we were in a hospital setting.

He felt more comfortable being without his mask, saying they probably deal with faces like his all the time, or even worse.

I really didn't want to wake him but I needed darkness.

"Hey..." I shook his shoulder a bit, feeling his arms tighten a little more around me "hey love..."

"Mmm yeah?" He whispered, barely opening his eyes.

"Can you do me a favor? can you shut the curtains for me? The nurse left it open last night..." I asked in a calm and quiet tone.

He sat up in the hospital bed and stretched his arms out. As much as I could without straining my eyes too hard, I stared at his face.

God he's so beautiful. I love every inch of him.

His hair was such a cute mess and he looked so pure when he was just waking up. I wanna kiss him forever.

Sal walked up to the curtained and shut them tight looking back to me as I smiled.

"Thank you... you're so pretty Sally face"

"Pretty?" He smiled wide as he climbed back into the hospital bed with me. "thank you"

He really liked when I called him pretty and it made my heart flutter seeing his smile.

"Goodmorning (Y/N), how are you and your hospital buddy feeling?" The nurse waltzed in and greeted us.

"Pretty good, I have a bit of a headache but I'm... comfortable" I hummed making him squeeze me tighter.

The nurse laughed and nodded "very good. Now you seemed to have slept very well and we would be happy to discharge you as soon as possible! We just need to go over the rules you have to follow until your better. And it would be great for Mr. Fisher to hear this so he can help with your healing!"

"I'm all ears" Sal mumbled tiredly.

***

It wasn't too much to consider.

Screen time of any sorts wasnt allowed, and staying in a dark room would be best for my scenario.

And Sal even promised to stay with me as long as I needed.

He bought special black-out curtains for me as well, so I could stay in his room and heal as fast as possible.

He's such a sweetheart, I don't know how I got so lucky to have him.

And he promised not to talk about my dad. He could tell the topic was still upsetting.

"Do you need anything to eat? Drink?" Sal whispered, basically tucking me in.

"Maybe just some water" I smiled as he leaned in and kissed my forehead through his mask.

He quietly left the room after saying 'I love you' and shutting the door gently. I sighed, knowing that it was gonna be really really boring until I was better.

I felt kinda stupid because of the whole ordeal.

Like. I passed out and hit my head because I ran away crying?

That sounds so stupid.

I used to have panic attacks like that a lot, but I've only passed out a few times and was never standing.

I groaned and squeezed my eyes shut.

"What's wrong love?" Sal almost scared me, being incredibly silent as he came back in.

"I feel so dramatic. Did I overreact?" I asked and pouted as he handed me my cup. "I... feel like I did. Like I ended up having to go to the hospital. That's so ridiculous to me" I huffed.

He sat down beside me and shook his head "not at all (Y/N). How you feel about that situation is completely understandable. You were really overwhelmed and upset. You couldn't control how your body reacted to your emotions"

It made sense. I guess he was right, I really couldn't control it

But I still felt stupid. "But it's like I was in those really dramatic soap operas. The ones where the main character gets in... A plane crash. And they are in a coma for a few years, only to wake up and find that their lover is getting married to their evil twin who was pretending to be them all along!!"

Sal threw his head back and laughed, sliding his mask off and sitting in the bed beside me "well lucky for you, there was no plane crash, no coma, and I really hope you don't have an evil twin. So I think you're okay" he stated, ruffling my hair as light as possibly.

He really did make me feel better about the whole situation.

"I really wanna kiss you. Can you kiss me for awhile?" I asked, looking up towards him, making Sal lean down and plant long soft kisses on my lips.

They felt so safe and secure, almost making me forget about my intense headache that was constantly burning.

I didn't want to stop kissing him, so I let my fingers tangle in his hair, pulling him closer and earning a small groan.

"Sweetheart, I need to breathe at some point" he joked between kisses.

I don't know why, but I started tearing up and felt a sob slip out. It was like a tsunami of emotions hit me like a truck and I couldn't stop them.

He scrunched his eyebrows together, and scanned my face. "Why are you crying (Y/N)?" He looked concerned, but overall confused.

I kept crying and I shook my head, "I-I don't know I'm just. Why am I sad whats..."

Sal leaned over and lightly kissed my forehead, sinking down under the covers holding me tight to his chest. "The doctor told me you could experience really heavy and sudden feelings or something like that. One of the symptoms. Don't be too worried about it, when you're all healed you'll be better" he reassured me while wiping my tears with his hand. "I'll hold you all night if I need to"

I was so choked up and filled with a rush of sadness, that I didn't hold back much. It caused Todd to knock on the door and check in on my well-being, and Sal just had to let them know what was going on.

It felt so weird. I feel so vulnerable and weak right now.

But god I hope I get over this shit soon.
