I walk into the hospital. I walk into Carlos's room. He is sleeping. I wake him up.

"Huh" he says.

" I need to talk you." I say in a serious voice.

" Im listening." he says.

" I know I messed up big time and I know it really hurt you." A tear falls from my eye and I wipe it. "But your words hurt me, too and when weren't talking. I kept on thinking about you and I couldn't get you out of my head but that made me realize something that I should have realized before. I love you, Carlos and I don't care if you don't like me back I just needed to tell you that."

There is a silence between us. Im about to get up to leave when he stops me. He pulls my shirt to him and kisses me. The kiss hit me by surprise and I kiss him back.  He pulls away from me and says " I love you,too." 

And we start kissing again.  I see the doctors in the doorway waiting for us to finish. I pull away from him immediately even though I wanted more.

" He needs some rest. You need to leave him alone. You could see him tomorrow morning" he says.

Another doctor calls him and he says " I'll be back in a second."

"  I don't want to leave you." I say in a sad voice.

" It's ok. Everything will be fine." he says in a soothing voice.

" Are you sure?" I say.

" Of course. " he says. " Now it's time for you to go to graduation."

" I almost forgot." I say.

" I love you" he says and gives me a kiss.

" And I love you." I say back to him.

The doctor comes in and says " It's time to leave."

I blow him a kiss and walk out of the hospital feeling like the luckiest woman in the world.
