𝟮𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟳
SLOWLY, Kates eyes peeled open. She didn't remember much, the last thing she remembered was falling into Paul's arms and that was it.
She looked left and saw a window, in front of the window there was a sat and on the table there was get well soon cards, little teddy's and some balloons.
Kate moved her head slightly right and saw a man sleeping on the couch, she soon came to conclusion that it was Paul, she groaned at the pain in her neck and held her eyes shut tightly.
"Hey, hey." Paul rushed to her side and touched her cheek lightly, her bottom lip, with a sore cut on it, begun to quiver and tears begun to form in her eyes.
"My neck..." she muttered "shhhh, love."
She cried at the soreness all over her body, she felt numb, like she couldn't move, she felt trap. She could feel the brace wrapped around her neck, it felt like when Danny had his hand around it.
"W-what...a-are you doing h-here...?" She stuttered as tears fell down her cheeks, "I had to be sure you were ok." He moved some of her hair out of her face and looked into her eyes deeply.
She could see a suitcase full of his clothes, she assumed, "you've been here all this time?" She asked "yeah." Paul smiled, he reached down and held her hand, that had a cast wrapped around her wrist.
"What's wrong with my neck?" She questioned "when you and Danny fell off the stairs, you hit your neck quite badly, you've got to keep the brace on for a few weeks."
"But now you need rest, love." He said "could you lay beside me?" She asked "of course." He crawled beside her and laid down.
"goodnight, Paulie." She said "goodnight Katie." He smiled kissing her forehead.

KATE YAWNED as she woke up, Paul was no longer beside her, but there was a nurse in the room.
"Good morning, Kate." She smiled "morning." responded Kate.
"I'm just here to give your pain relief medicine and to help you with your shower." She said kindly, carefully, pulling Kates legs off the bed.
"Where did Paul go?" Kate asked "he's just went outside." She said.
"Before you see me naked can I at least know your name?" The french girl questioned "Judy." She smiled "lovely name," Kate giggled.
After Kates nice warm shower, she laid in bed, she could hear Paul and Judy talking right outside the door, "your wife is all done, you can go in and see her."
Kate chuckled as a flustered McCartney boy came in "are you alright?" She asked him.
"Yep." He smiled.
"Why are you still here?" She asked "I'm not going to leave you here by yourself, am I?" He said, Kate looked at him admirably, she smiled and tried her hardest to hide the tint of pink in her cheeks.
"How's Jane? She won't be very pleased your here with me." Kate said, "well, actually, I finished it with her. I'd much rather be with you than her." He simply said.
"Paul...please don't tell me that you ended things with her because of me..." she looked at him dead in the eye.
He nodded, "you were happy with her though. W-why?" She stuttered frustratedly.
"I wasn't happy with her at all, I'll tell you that now. The reason why I ended it with her was because she never loved me, she just used me and beside I've got my eye on someone else." He said.
Disappointment begun to fill Kate, she doubted it was her, she'd be surprised it was her. She knew that Paul probably could never be hers again.
"She's moved to her parents place, that's why I've been here with you." He said.
"When Emily told us what happened, fuck Kate, I'd never been so scared." He said, she looked at him.
"Paul...?" Kate begun, he nodded "that morning, after our night in the car, you said something to me, it was like Spanish or something. What was is it, what does it mean?" She finished.
"Te quiero...it means...I love you." He said.
Kate looked at him, "fuck sakes, Kate. Since I was eight teen years old, the day I left you at that diner, I've loved you, I never stopped loving you and no matter how hard I have tried to stop I couldn't, your who I want and need Kate. Your my love." He took both of her hands in his and smiled.
In those very moments, Kate knew, the only person she wanted to be with was Paul and he was the only person she needed. He was it for her and she couldn't be more happier about it.
