Awake

Chapter 23- Awake

I sat rocked back in the chair, doodling whatever came to mind. With my earbuds in, I put down my sketchbook and closed my eyes. The lack of sleep had finally gotten to me. There's only so much massive amounts of coffee can do. Then I started to think about Dan and that girl in the room a few rooms down. He said her name was Grace. Even under all that scarring, I could tell she was beautiful. He didn't tell me much, other then her name, but I guessed now wasn't a good time to ask questions. He seemed pretty hurt, the way he held her hands so close to his body. I missed that.

I felt a draft come in from somewhere, even though there weren't any windows open. I got up slowly and walked hesitantly over to Pj's still body and watched his chest gently rise and fall. In a way, it was nice. The heart monitor continued to beep steadily. I pressed my fingers to his cold hand and squeezed gently. I brought my gaze up to his face to see the swelling was mostly gone, but there were still scars. One was about 2in. ( ~5cm) long and above his right eyebrow. The whole bloody mess was gone, leaving him with several stitches right below his collar bone. But even after all that, the gang, the surgery, he was still Pj. He was still my Pj, the one who fought through it all for reasons I have yet to know. The Pj that stole my heart with just one look. He, himself, was an explosion of creativity that I just couldn't bare to lose.

I remember the first day we properly met, just a few months ago, he came to the door in a t-shirt and plaid boxers.
" How? Its Kat...and I'm in my boxers."
I laughed a little, realising my eyes were beginning to water, blurring my vision. I wiped them, rubbing the tears away in my hands. It's weird how when we met, neither of us had any idea that he would be here a few months later, in this hospital bed. And I would be here, sitting next to his unconscious body.

Suddenly, I felt a quick twitch in his hand. I looked directly at his closed eyes, keeping a grip on his hand. I looked with hope, anything. Without looking up, I heard his heart rate rise a bit. Slowly, he opened his eyes. Just seeing him, awake and conscious, made me think about Phil. I couldn't be with him now, I never planned to, he's not the one I love.

" Hey..." Pj let out a weak sigh.

" You're awake, thank god."
I hugged him for I don't know how long. He slowly lifted his hand to my lay lightly on my back.
" How... are you feeling?" I asked, worried.
He paused a minute, catching his breath.
" Tired."
I sat back up, and looked at him. He was smiling weakly.

" I should probably go and get the others to tell them your awake."

I began to get up.

" Wait, a little longer. " I sat back down and hugged him again.

" It's just, when they get here, it's going to be all about me. I just want a few moments, just you and me."
Still hugging, I nodded.

"Okay."

There was a comfortable silence.

" I missed you so much." I whispered into his ear.

" I dreamt about you."

I sat up.

" Oh, really?" I smiled.

" I missed that." Pj said, looking into my eyes.

" What?"

" That smile."
He looked at me lovingly for a moment, and then closed his eyes
And laid his head back.

" Pj? " I said, a little concerned.

" I'm still here, still here." He said.

" I was just thinking, how beautiful you looked on that beach. You and I."

I couldn't help but smiling.

" What was I wearing? "

"You...you were wearing a beautiful yellow sundress. It was at sunset, we had wine and some type of sandwiches. We were sitting on this maroon blanket with ties at both end. You could hear the sound of seagulls and the waves going back and forth. " He was smiling, our hands still intertwined. As he spoke, I imagined as he described it.

" Well, I'm going to go and get the others."
I began to get up.

" Alright, hey Kat?" He said with hope.
I turned around, putting my hand on the frame of the door.

" Yea?"

" I love you." He looked directly into my eyes just like he did the first day we met.
I walked back over to him and put my face close to his, moving my hand up to his cheekbone.

" I love you too." I whispered.

And then we kissed.

Yo! Hey everyone! Hope you liked that chapter. I'm actually thinking of ending the book soon, BUT DONT WORRY! There are already two chapters up of a sort of prequel/sequel thing that has to do with the back story of Grace and Dan. I will update that a lot more when I finish H&BGE. Tell me what you think in the comments!
