Kate POV 💋
As soon as the words slipped out of my mouth, I felt Jason go very still. I could hear the thudding of his heart against my ear. I waited for him to say something but he remained silent. If not for the tension in his body, or the way his breathing had suddenly changed, I would have thought he was sleeping.
The silence stretched and with each second that passed I felt my mortification grow. He was awake and he had heard me, but he was choosing to ignore me. I squeezed my eyes shut as rejection washed over me.
It couldn't have been more than a minute, but it felt like more than that, when I finally felt him turn his head to look down at me. I kept my eyes closed not wanting him to see the sudden tears that had sprung up in them.
I heard him exhale softly and then he kissed my hair before turning his face away from me. I didn't know what to think of it. I was confused, hurt and suddenly so drowsy. The sedatives were finally kicking in strong.
When I woke up the next morning, Jason was sitting on the couch, his laptop open on his lap. He hadn't yet realized I was awake so I took the time to study him. It appeared he had stayed all night because he was still dressed in last night's clothes.
His hair was tousled, falling over his forehead. He was rarely clean-shaven but the stubble that covered his jaw was longer than usual. It wasn't quite a beard but he looked rougher. More rugged. And so incredibly sexy. The aroma of gourmet coffee wafted through the air and I noticed the coffee pot and mug on the glass table in front of him. He basically lived off coffee.
He must have felt me watching him because he suddenly looked up from his laptop. "Hey." He smiled getting up. "Morning." So casual, as if he had already forgotten what happened the previous night. "How are you feeling?"
Rejected. "I feel fine." I managed a smile. "Can you call the nurse? I need to use the bathroom."
He pressed the buzzer above my head and crouched over me. "You sure you are fine?" He murmured grazing the back of his knuckles on my cheek.
I nodded weakly. He frowned, his intense gaze raking over my face as if trying to see through me. "Okay." He said finally. "I have to go into office. I'll be back before lunch."
After Nurse Amari finished giving me the sponge bath, she dressed me in a fresh hospital gown. For the first time since I woke up from the coma, I had gotten a look at myself from the mirror that morning. I looked horrible, as if I had been run over by a truck. My face was too pale, eyes sunken and the faint bruise on my left temple made me look worse.
But the biggest surprise of all was finding the shaved spot on the back of my head. It was where the doctors had inserted the tube into my skull to drain the fluid in my brain.
"Your hair will grow back in no time." Nurse Amari commented seeing the look of horror on my face. "Don't worry about it."
After breakfast, I took a nap again. It seemed as if I was always tired. When I woke up, mom, Paige and Hal were there. Cheryl and Jason's parents also dropped by.

Jason's parents, Lily and Daniel were so sweet towards me and it made me feel guilty somehow. I wondered if they knew how much I had hurt their son.
