A Different Me

Chapter 7

A few hours later I felt Sterling start moving and soon he woke up. He rolled over towards me and put his arms around me and kissed my cheek. I rolled over and faced him then he kissed me again this time on the lips. It was a very passionate kiss kinda like he was saying goodbye. I sat up and he sat up with me "are you okay?" I asked Sterling. "Im doing a lot better now that I have slept." He answered. I kind of giggled and he kissed me then I hugged him really tight because I never wanted him to let go. "Would you like any food or coffee?" I asked "coffee would be great." He answered. I got up and went into the kitchen to make the coffee. I began brewing it and Brandon walked in. "How's he doing?" Brandon asked me. "He's doing a little bit better." I answered then Taylor walked into the kitchen too. "What kind of food do we have here." She asked. "None." I laughed "get dressed and we can all go up town and go to a restaurant." I said. Taylor skipped back to her and Brandon's room in excitement. They both began getting dressed. I fixed the coffee and took a cup to Sterling. He was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at his phone. I kissed his cheek and asked "would you like to go to a restaurant and eat?" "Sure." He answered. "I have to get a shower though." He said quickly. "Okay" I said smiling. He went and took a shower after he took a shower I did also. After an hour we were all dressed and ready to go. I grabbed Sterlings keys. "Can I drive? Please..." I asked "of course" he answered I hugged him in complete joy. I locked the pond house and we all got into Sterlings truck. I drove to Applebee's and we all went in and sat down at a booth. We ordered and ate and had a good time. We even got a few laughs out of Sterling. This was where healing began and I loved seeing him rise from the lonely pits of depression back to the top.
