What could go wrong?

Professing

I had poured my guts out about Logan, but I hadn't told him I was going to see her today. I hadn't told anybody. I wanted it to be just her and me. I had gotten in the car and drove off to the hospital. The nice lady at the desk smiled at me as I walked through, filling out the information form for me. I had come so many times she knew everything by heart. Doctors and nurses smiled and nodded, some even patted me on my shoulder. I got to the elevator, taking a shaky breath. I pressed the button and the elevator lurched upward. I walked out after the ding and the doors opening. I found the room immediately and opened it. Right away I heard the constant beep of her heart monitor. "Beep.... beep.... beep.... beep...." I sat by her bed and stroked her blonde hair. "Hey Logan. How's this month been? For me it's been a bumpy ride. I helped someone, but that doesn't mean anything to me, because I couldn't help you. I'm sorry about that." I sat there for a long time, thinking about what to say. "But do you remember me talking about Jake? I love him so much Logan, I can't bear it. And even though he says he loves me back, sometimes I just have to wonder. How could he love me? What's there to... to love?" I wiped the tear from my eye and ran out of the room, taking the stairs.

I don't know what had come over me. He had done nothing to inflict doubt on me, but I still had some. I had walked around town until it was dark, and then I sat on a bench. I heard someone running, but I guessed it was just a late night jogger. I put my face in my hands. I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Excuse me miss, but my girlfriend has been gone for hours. Have you seen her?" I looked up and met Jake's brown eyes. They filled with relief and happiness as he just stared back at me. He was crouched in front of me, hair disheveled and a little out of breath. I reached up and grazed my fingertips against his face, a little bit near his eyes. "Have I ever told you I love your eyes?" He slowly shook his head, a smile playing on his lips. "Well they're very handsome. The brown they make looks like a bunch of colors mixed together, and when the sun shines on them they dance with life." His smile grew and he leaned in to kiss me, but I turned away. He got up and sat beside me. "What's wrong?" I turned to him, and dared ask the question. "Do you love me?" He raised his eyebrows. "Of course. You know this. Have I done anything to make you doubt?" I shook my head. "No, not at all. It's just... sometimes I have to wonder. Why me? What's so special about me? Nothing, nothing at all. And I can be so stubborn and other things and even..." He stopped me by pressing his lips to mine. It was then I realized I was trembling and tears were streaming down my face. He pulled away, and I started to say something, but he put a finger to my lips. "I tried to write for you, you know." I raised my eyebrows and started laughing through the tears. "But you hate writing." He smiled and wiped my face with his thumb. "I know. But I know how much you love to write. And I wanted to express my love for you somehow." My sad tears turned to happy ones. "That's so sweet." His smile grew. "Yeah. It was a thought, but every time I brought the pen to the paper, I went blank. I thought about how you go beyond words. The way your eyes light up when you see me, or how you don't even know the color of your hair or eyes and yet they're so beautiful. The way you sleep curled up in a ball, but when you sleep with me it's like you feel protected and you relax. Or your kindness for others. But most of all, your undying love. It never wavers, it never fails, and it never enjoys hate. I think the real question is, why wouldn't I love you?" I was crying again. "How'd I get so lucky to have you?" I wiped my eyes. "Again, the real question is, how'd I get so lucky to have YOU?" He poked me on my shoulder. I laughed. "No no." But I couldn't finish. "Yes yes. Stop acting so humble.

I looked down, embarrassed. "Listen, I um, I went to see Logan today." He raised his eyebrows. "Really? And?" My eyes and face were dry, but I didn't know what to feel. "She was the same. She hasn't moved, but she's still alive." Jake took my hand. "Tomorrow, we'll go see her." I shook my head. "That sounds good." Then we just sat there, staring at each other.

"You're like a town hero!" Cries Riane. I giggled. "I'd hardly call myself a town hero. I helped a girl out, anybody could've down it." Hannah Kate rushes up to us. "KATIE!! RIANE!!" She was the loudest of the group. She starts walking instep with us towards the school. "So, what're you talking about?" Riane shrugs. "Just how Katie's a town hero and won't admit it. She saved a life!" I shook my head. "They said I didn't save her, I just helped a little." I shrugged it off. HK linked her arm through mine. "Well you're our hero." I smiled. "You're only saying that because it's true." She smacked my arm. "Ow!" "Be grateful!" I laughed. "Alright alright thanks." She smiled triumphantly and we entered the school.
