• AARON'S POV •

To be fully honest, despite all the pain I'm in, I really liked waking up with Devon cuddling up to me. The pain is completely bearable seeing how cute he is. His cheek is pressed against my shoulder with his arm draped over my stomach cautious of my stab wound. His fingers still tangled in my own. I gently press my lips to his forehead then carefully start removing him from around me. I hold my side as I get out of bed and hobble over to the window and open the drapes. I'm surprised when I see the morning sun shining over the wet grass in the hospital lawn. We must have slept all day and night. I'm surprised he slept as much as me. I decide to let him sleep as I pick up my phone that's on the bed side table and look through the messages that have been sent for other a week. Some were even from last night, Lyndsey texting me. She told me she loves me and that she wishes me good night. I must have scared her to death... Surely if what Devon told me is true she must have thought I was gone for good and lost it. I text her back apologising for not responding and telling her I was asleep.

I get an immediate response, "oh I know, dad told me everything I'm so happy!" I roll my eyes at her message. Of course dad told everyone. He's so mystified by the fact I'm dating anyone that he needs to tell people to know if its real or not. Maybe I should make out with Devon in front of him, will that prove it to him?

Nah probably not.

I notice movement in the bed and hope he hasn't woken up but he only rolled over and grabbed my pillow now. I raise a brow at his sleeping figure. Number one he forgot about me rather quickly, and two he replaced me with my own pillow. That's just heartless.

I roll my eyes and look over what else is on the table. A small vase filled with a variety of flowers sits there with a few small cards. I know the flowers have been there since before I woke up but the cards are new. I wonder when they got here. I pick up a few then sit down on the bed as I open one of them. The first one is from June and its an apology card and get well card all it one. I check the other cards and see they're from everyone else, Lyndsey, Leah, Sam and hope, even chris sent one. As I'm looking through them and reading what everyone wrote I feel the bed press down next to me and someone lean against my side. I acknowledge him with a kiss to the forehead before going back to reading.

He stays quiet for a moment and I know he's wondering what I'm doing. My thought get answered when he asks "what are you reading?" I give him a soft smile and hand the cards to him. There's nothing personal really about these cards, he can read them all he likes. He flips through a few of the before handing them back to me. I place them on the table again as he rests against me once more with a loud yawn.

"Why are you so tired when you first wake up?" I question, I know I've asked this several times but he never really answers.

He simply shrugs before saying "I don't know." I roll my eyes again.

"What are you doing today? Gonna go back home so your moms can stop worrying?" I ask him with a smirk and small poke to the cheek.

"I'll go home tonight but I made plans today..." He mumbles the last part and I raise a brow. He made plans today? I had no clue, he doesn't really talk about what he's doing. "Anna wanted me to hang out with her and her brothers, I told her I would. They don't live too far from here. I mean... Um... If you like you... Uh meet them?" He says quietly and I wrap my arm around his waist before he can run away.
