A Second Chance

"you run really fast"

Sara

"Sara, wake up."

"Stop, let her rest."

"Fine."

I opened my eyes and saw Luke, Ashton, and Calum standing in front of me.

"Hey, Sara." Luke said, gently hugging me.

I hugged him back, tighter than he hugged me. I felt hot tears go down my cheeks. He hugged me tighter, too.

"I want a hug, too!" Calum whined.

I smiled, and hugged him tightly. I hugged Ashton after, and Luke hugged me once more.

"Luke, that's not fair. We didn't get a second hug."

"Shut up." He said.

I giggled a bit. I didn't want to let go. I could tell he didn't either. Once we did let go, though, I felt cold.

"Sara, you okay?"

"F-Feeling l-lightheaded is all." I told them.

"Makes sense. You have a big purple bruise on your forehead." Ashton told me, cringing at me.

I sighed, knowing I've had worse. I felt so exhausted from running so fast. I never knew I could run that fast anyway.

"We'll let you rest, okay?" Calum smiled.

"Okay." I smiled back.

Ashton and Calum said goodbye.

"Come on, Luke." Ashton said, standing by the door.

"Hold on." He said.

Ashton left us alone, and my stomach began to flip.

"Where is M-Michael?"

"Your dad-uh, punched him really hard. He's in another room."

"Oh my god."

"Hey, it's not your fault. Don't worry. He'll be fine. He's probably laughing about it with the nurses right now."

"Okay." I sighed.

"But, um. Sara?"

"Hmm?"

"I-You run really fast."

I laughed at him. He blushed in embarrassment, making me laugh harder.

"Thanks."

"No problem." He smiled.

He hugged me once more, and left. I couldn't stop smiling. My cheeks hurt. Smiling hurts you know. That's another reason why I don't smile a lot. I yawned, and laid back. I closed my eyes, and drifted into a deep sleep.
