Chapter 21 - "The one and only."

Spencer's POV
"You missed." I say sarcastically but my voice comes out raspy and my throat feels awfully dry. I faintly remember Aria singing to me. She had such a beautiful voice that whenever she did sing everything and everyone stopped what they were doing just to listen.
"Spencer?" I hear her beautiful voice ask. It sounded a little breathless like she was surprised. I felt a little uncomfortable since I had a tube in my mouth.
"The one and only." I reply trying to swallow to sooth my dry throat. I need water. Within seconds Aria is beside me and then I see Emily and Hanna are also with her. "Oh there you are." I say smiling.
"Oh my God!" Aria yells startling me slightly. Hanna runs out the room probably to go fetch a doctor while Emily and Aria stand beside me. The doctor rushes in closely followed by Hanna.
"Welcome back Miss Hastings." The doctor says smiling at me. "I'm going to remove this tube but it's going to feel a little uncomfortable."
"More than it already does?" I ask sarcastically and the doctor laughs softly.
"Just a little." He says pulling on a pair of white gloves. He starts to remove the tube and I try my best to stay still but it's never pleasant having something pulled out of your throat. Finally, the tube is removed and he grabs a glass of water from the nearby table which I take gratefully. "How are you feeling?" He asks grabbing a clip board.
"That depends." I reply sitting up a little in my bed. I feel a sharp pain in my stomach area shoot through me. "Ugh, why do I feel like I've been stabbed in the stomach?" I ask cautiously.
"What's the last thing you remember?" The doctor asks. I glance over at Aria and feel myself blush slightly.
"Um," I pause my mind felt a little foggy but the last thing I remembered was Aria and I getting freaky in our apartment after watching a movie. "I don't know." I say a little awkwardly. The doctor raises his eyebrows before looking at the other girls behind him.
"Would you like to have this conversation privately?" He asks. It wasn't that my friends didn't know Aria and I had gone that far, and Aria definitely knew that we had gone that far, but I couldn't help but feel embarrassed and awkward.
"No," I reply before taking a deep breath. "I remember sitting on the couch with my girlfriend and watching a movie except we weren't really watching the movie then we... we... err..." I glance at Aria and see a deep blush on her cheeks but the doctor had a smile on his lips.
"I think I know what you're saying." The doctor drops his clipboard to his side and looks at me. "You were in an accident Miss Hastings, you've been in a coma for about two weeks." If I had been drinking then I would have spat it everywhere. Two weeks? Is he sure?
"W-what?" I stutter not bothering to hide my surprise. "Wait, what happened?" I ask trying to compose myself.
"I'll tell her." I turn my head to see Aria stepping closer to me. She takes my hand and I feel that all familiar jolt go through me. "We were in our apartment and I screamed for you to come to me do you remember that?" She asks looking into my eyes. I frown in concentration trying to remember, it sounded oddly familiar but I just couldn't place it. "There was a spider in the room and you got rid of it-"
"Did we dance?" I ask interrupting. "I remember dancing with you." A smile spreads across Aria's face and suddenly I'm launched into the memory. Everything flashes before me, Aria and I dancing, the smile on her face, the closeness between us, the walk to the park, sitting on the park swing set and then the man who stabbed me. "I remember." I say looking at Aria. I raise my hand to her cheek and pull her down gently towards me. She leans down and I capture her lips on mine I feel her smile into the kiss which makes me smile. I hear someone clear their throat and Aria pulls away but I can tell that she didn't want to. Hanna was standing smirking with Emily beside her who was looking around the room awkwardly. "I didn't forget you guys." I say grinning at my best friends. Hanna rushes over and envelopes me in a hug while Emily smiles and waits for Hanna to let go. "Han." I say still locked in her embrace.
"Yeah?" She asks.
"Can't breath." I say joking and Hanna pulls away but not before giving me a gentle slap on the shoulder. "Ow what was that for?" I complain.
"Don't you ever do that again." Hanna warns me her piercing blue eyes looking at me seriously.
"Sorry." I reply smiling at her and she smiles back. Emily wraps me in another bear hug which Aria breaks up this time.
"Alright guys she's my girlfriend." Aria climbs onto my bed beside me wrapping an arm around my shoulder.
"Are you jealous?" I nudge her gently and she smiles wide at me.
"Maybe I am." She teases.
"If I was Aria I would be, I mean if I was gay, I'd totally be gay for Spencer." Hanna says which I burst out laughing at but Aria frowns at Hanna.
"She's mine." Aria says defensively pulling me closer to her. It felt good to be awake and ready for action which I was even though it still hurt like a mother trucker every time I sat up. I guess I'll have a scar there.
"When can I go home?" I ask the doctor.
"We'll keep you over night for observation but you should be okay to go home tomorrow since your wound has been healing." The doctor replies before giving me one last smile and heading out the door.
"I want to go home with you." I whisper quietly in Aria's ear so only she can hear me. I feel Aria shudder against me and smirk at her reaction to my words. "I also really want to get out of this stupid gown." Aria giggles at my remark which I absolutely love, she had the cutest giggle in the whole world I could listen to her all day.
"You should get some rest." Aria says her eyes darkening with concern. That was cute too how much she wanted to take care of me.
"I'm fine." I brush off her concern besides apparently I had been resting for two weeks I wanted to stay awake and just be close to Aria.
"Maybe we should change the going away party for tomorrow." Emily suggests breaking my mini staring competition with Aria.
"That was today?" I ask feeling my heart drop. Two weeks that I could have spent with my friends before they left and they were gone. It was so unsatisfying since I liked to have control in my life and I had lost control. Aria who could probably sense my mood shifting kisses me gently on the cheek her sweet scent washing over me. God I love this girl. Life was just too short, as proven by my accident, and I couldn't bare losing Aria. "I love you." I whisper to Aria.
"I love you too." She whispers back flashing me a smile showing off her perfectly white teeth. Did I mention she's also beautiful?
"I should probably talk to my dad." I say the thought suddenly popping into my mind. He would be worried sick about me, I had to tell him I was awake. I just really wanted to go home and snuggle with my Ari but, for now, I gave into the demands of being cared for.
