June

I wake up and see the boy. The boy whom i kissed. The boy who i planned to kill. The boy whose life i saved. The boy who had lost his mother. The boy who lost john. The boy who had been in the hospital. The boy who i waited months to wake up. The boy who i told that i loved him. He was no boy anymore. He was now a man.

"Hey you feeling good?" He asks me.
"Umm yeah i just have a head ache that's all." I say while holding my head.
"How long was i out?" I ask curiously wanting to know since when i was gone.
"Well two months tomorrow." He smiles.
"Let me call the doctor to tell them you are awake." He smile and presses a button.

I see tess coming in with a smile on her face.
"Tess!" I say with excitement she runs over to me and hugs the life out of me.
"Hey june, how are you feeling?" She asks me while she lets go of me.
"Great actually. I just have a small head ache that's all." I rest my head back on the pillow. Tess puts her hand on my forehead to make sure i don't have a fever.
"Well that might be from just waking up, it should go away in a little bit." I smile and nod.

I look at tess and she looks at the guy. She goes to talk to him and he just nods and looks down. I want to ask him or tess a question but i'm not sure how either of then will react. Well i think it is worth a shot, right?
"Hey tess can you come here?" I try to hide the fact that i am nervous.
"Yeah sure, what's up?" She asks smiling but i can see it is not real.
"Well i don't know what his name is. Can you tell me?" I ask tess hopeful that she will. She shakes her head in a no. I look down and just stare at the feet of the bed.

"Why don't you ask him?" She says in a calm voice. I shake my head in a no. I know him. I have memories with him that are only between me and him. I just don't know his name that's all.

"I can't. I know him but i just can't. I don't want him to feel how i felt when i had to leave him. I know him i just don't know his name. Please tess can you tell me. Please" i say in a way that she has never seen me before.

"I'm sorry june. I just think it's better if he says it rather than me but you say you remember him?" I nod my head
"Well yeah i remember everything from when we kissed to my last words."
Tess smiles.
"Well i think i'll leave you two alone" i nod and give her a goodbye hug before she leaves.

"Umm so can i ask you a question?" I ask him.
"Yeah sure. What's the question?" He says happily.
"Well you see i wanted to ask, what is your name?" I say nervously. He looks heartbroken almost as if someone died and he is barely recovering with the loss.
"That's not important right now" he says and slowly gets up.
"Wait where are you going?" I ask curiously and almost panicky.
"Somewhere." He gets up and heads for the door.
"Wait! Don't go! Please! I can explain! I remember!" i yell out for him to hear but i guess that wasn't enough to make him turn back.

I look down and start to cry my eyes out. I lay back in bed and try to get some sleep.
