It's been a couple of days since my father got arrested. Not long after they disappeared with Lucas Zack sent me a text explaining where they took him.

Lucas has been in and out if it for three days now the doctor said the bullet was still lodged inside him. After surgery he's been having cold sweats his skin still pale but he's recovering slowly.

I hold his hand as he lays there nocked out "Lucas please be okay, I beg you. I need you to be okay. I hate seeing like this." My heart aches whenever I look at him. I wish I could trade places with him I would much rather be the one laying there than having to watch him suffering in that bed.

I just want him to be okay he hasn't been fully awake since he was emitted. The doctor doesn't know how long he could be like this "He lost a lot of blood and the bullet caused more damage than it should have. His recovery is up to him.He needs to fight" he told me.

Tears rol down my cheeks I lay my head against his hand closing my eyes. "Please fight Lucas" I whisper through the tears. "I love you I need you to fight. I want to wake up next to you everyday. I want you give me that stupid grin everyday." I whisper feeling tears pooling under my chin.

Something softly brushes my tears away and I jump lightly I stare up at Lucas and his eyes are open a slid. His fingers brushing my tears away "Lucas" I breathe relived getting up in a rush. I don't waste anytime I sit next to him on the bed facing him. Leaning over kissing him his hands tangle in my hair cupping my face returning the kiss leaving butterflies in my stomach. I don't ever want to lose that feeling.

We break the kiss and I lay my forehead against his "I missed you love" he says groggily. I smile crawls to my lips "you have no idea" I get lost in his eyes the same eyes I fell in love with. He runs the pad of his thumb over my lip
"I love you Lucas and I want to be with you oky. Forget what I sai-"

"shhh, I know" he cuts me off smiling he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear starting into my eyes. Unspoken words play in behind his eyes like he's thinking about something. His eyes roam my face like he's imprinting this moment in his memory and then he finally speaks.

"Marry me?" His says looking me in the eyes and my heart bursts.
