New Friends

Chapter twenty five

Tom's pov

Y/n fell asleep on my chest and about half an hour later Mum and Harry returned with food for me. I told them I wasn't hungry anymore and to save it for later for me. My Mum could see how I felt cause I didn't realize it but my feelings were written on my face. I was sad but so happy to be with Y/n. "Tom, it's been a long day and you look really tired. Why don't you fall asleep and me and Harry will leave. You two rest and we will see you guys tomorrow!" My Mum whispered to me. I wanted to refuse cause I needed her here. She and my brothers were my support as I was Y/n's support. But I also wanted to be alone with her. "Okay Mum, thank you. Please come back though cause I do need you guys." I was so exhausted I was about to let out a couple of tears.

"We will, we promise you!" Mum whispered back and then her and Harry quietly walked out and shut the door.

"I gently kissed Y/n's forehead once more and let out a few tears. It was mostly just a mix of emotions built up finally coming out. Mostly stress and worry but also relief and able to finally rest. I closed my eyes as I could hear her heart beating slowly yet steady right next to mine.

Your pov:

I felt safe and the most restful I've felt in four months. I was laying next to Tom, on his chest. My oxygen cord in the way and my three IV's but it still felt amazing. My body felt like crap but my heart was full. I woke up before he did. It was 6am. We had fallen asleep really early the night before. Tom was starting to wake up. I cuddled closer to him and ran my fingers through his hair, it was so soft and curly. I loved it. He smiled with his eyes closed. "Mmmm.." he moaned. "Good morning my love." I whispered into his ear. "Good morning my sweetheart." He said ever so softly. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Why would you ask that? Of course I'm okay, I'm with you!" He looked confused even with his eyes still closed. "You looked worried and stressed yesterday before and I just wanted to let you know that everything is going to be okay and did you forget? I love you! No need to worry about anything!" I tried to make sure he remembered when we confessed our love last night.

"Your okay, it's just you and me." I filled the silence when he didn't answer, still running my fingers through his hair. "This is why I love you, because right now, I'm supposed to be the one telling you everything's gonna be okay and here you are being the positive one!" He then opened his eyes. "If I'm not then who is?" I responded looking into his handsome brown puppy dog eyes. "Me darling, I'll be positive for you! I'm here to help you not the other way around!" He smiled and kissed my cheek. I sighed. "What's wrong Y/n?" He stopped smiling. "I still can't breathe normal and I'm sick of having these stupid IV's in my arm and I can barely move!" I was still looking straight into his eyes. "Wow you changed fast with your mood!" He joked a little. "Comforting you and telling you everything is gonna be okay is easy compared to actually knowing if everything is gonna be okay for me regardless of how amazing you are." I closed my eyes and dug my head into his chest, covering my face.

He gently reached over a bit and started rubbing my back lightly to comfort me. "Everything takes time, don't worry, you'll be back to normal in no time! Just got to wait a bit longer. For now, do you think you have enough air in your lungs to kiss me?" I could almost hear him smirking before I looked him in the eyes again. "I always have enough air to kiss you, what a silly question!" I laughed a little bit and then coughed a little to. He smiled and gently touched his lips to mine. We kissed till I pulled away to breathe and I coughed again, but it was worth it. He looked really concerned but just kept rubbing my upper back gently and slowly kissing my forehead to get me to calm down.

I didn't know if our love was crazy for only being together for a little over four months, but I didn't know anything better so maybe it wasn't insane. Maybe we will last.

We spent another hour in my hospital bed cuddling and kissing and just being together. Tom had me do a few deep breath's to relax and try to strengthen my one lung. Eventually Tom got up carefully out of my bed and put extra blankets on me cause I was really cold. He apparently had brought a bag of all kinds of stuff for himself and me which was really nice. "I'll be right back my love, just gonna freshen up a bit. You keep resting over there!" He took his bag into the bathroom to change and shut the door. Before Tom came out of the bathroom the doctor knocked on the door. I was still laying in the same position I was in yesterday after surgery and when me and Tom cuddled. I couldn't really move to a different side because I had to be careful with my fresh wound on my lower back.
