*Keaton's Perspective*

I rolled over and felt a burning on my face. Slowly opening my eyes,I noticed a 

nurse standing beside my bed. "Hello Mr.Stromberg. How are you feeling?" She 

asked with a smile. "Fine,I where's Alli?" I asked sitting up and touching my 

swollen eye. "She's in her room,the surgeon had to stitch her up" she confirmed 

unhooking me from some wires. "Can I go see her?" I asked with hope. She simply 

nodded with a smile. Making my way over to Alli's room I quietly opened the door 

and walked in. There she was,my beautiful Alli. She had a medium sized wrapping 

on the size of her neck and a few black and blues,but she still managed to look 

perfect. "Keaton" she croaked out trying to reach for me. "Hi baby" I cooed 

sitting beside her on the bed. "I'm sorry" she whispered, a tear running down 

her cheek. "Sorry for what? Alli,if anyone is sorry it's me. I didn't get to you 

quick enough" I argued,whipping a tear from her cheek. She looked for fragile,as 

if I touched her to hard she would break. "I love y-you" she stuttered,biting 

back the tears. "Shh baby please don't cry. I love you so much" I pleaded before 

lightly kissing her forehead. "Don't leave" she begged grasping my hand in hers. 

"I'm not going anywhere. Here,move over" I whispered making room for me to lay 

next to her. Alli quickly cuddled into me in the small hospital bedding. "You're 

so beautiful" I whispered staring into her eyes. "Not when I look like this" she 

replied back still in a whisper. "You always look gorgeous Alli,it doesn't 

matter where or when. I'm in love with you so much that it hurts baby" I 

explained moving my face closer to hers so our noses were touching. "I honestly 

don't know what I would do without you Keaton" she sighed. "I'll always be your 

rock,I'll be your foundation Alli. You can trust me,I'll always be here for you 

to fall back on. I love you" I explained in a whisper before pressing a light 

kiss to her slightly swollen lips. 

*Alli's Perspective*

"Mr.Stromberg visiting hours are over" the young nurse promoted,while standing 

next to my bed. Keaton sighed,as if he didn't want to leave. And to be honest,I 

didn't want him to leave. I didn't want to be alone in this hospital while he 

was at home,I just didn't want to. "Can he stay..please" I pleaded with pure 

pain in my voice. Keaton tensed at my sudden plea and grasped harder onto my 

hand. "Just tonight." She said sternly before walking out and shutting the door 

behind her. "Guess you don't want me leaving" he laughed while laying next to me 

and running his fingers over my stomach. "I don't" I frowned giving him a frown. 

"There's fans outside" he whispered,looking up at my eyes. "Of the hospital?" I
