Stars In Her Eyes

Twenty Three

My eyes open, I'm all tucked in under a blanket. I'm pretty comfortable, so I'm not on the hospital couch. Where am I? Why is my hand throbbing so bad?

I feel lightheaded and it takes me a while to get used to the light. Suddenly it all comes back when I notice Sabrina next to me. How did she get next to me? How did I get next to her?!

It now occurs to me I'm in a hospital bed too. It's placed directly next to Sabrina's. The left side of her bed has been taking down connecting the two beds to each other.

Hmm, I must've gone out after the whole Trent thing. Who put me to bed? Who got me to stop beating him anyway?

Now that I'm finally in a comfy bed I notice how stressed out and exhausted my body is.

I turn to my side and stare at Sabrina. She's still sleeping, has she woken up while I was asleep? She seems to be doing well, her heartbeat sounds normal and her chest moves slowly up and down.

She's once again holding on tight to her teddy. Huh, now that I mention it, I'm holding on to mine too.

Wait a minute! Lucky?! How the heck did he get here? Am I dreaming? No that can't be, I pinch myself just to be sure. Okay so I'm definitely not dreaming.

Ouch who cares how Lucky got here I'm just glad he is. I hug him so tight he'd probably scream and gasp for air if he was alive.

While holding Lucky tight Sabrina turns to her side. Her arm falls down on the small empty space between us. I carefully glide my hand towards hers and curl my fingers into hers.

Her eyes open, as soon as she notices me she startles. She immediately pulls back her hand. Why? Why does she suddenly seem so different?

"What are you doing here?",

she asks startled.

"I'm not sure, why?"

"Is it true you're the one who actually hurt me?"

My heart drops in my chest, why does Sabrina suddenly think I'm the one who hurt her?!

Oh no! Trent! He asked her if I hurt her again right before he injected her! Her confused little head must've figured I'm the bad guy.

"Now I get it! That's why you kept blaming Trent! So you'd seem innocent yourself",

Sabrina shoves away from me.

Despite knowing she's still confused due to memory loss my heart still breaks. She actually thinks I'd hurt her. How do I get her to remember the truth? She needs to know Trent's the dick and she needs to know I'm the one who truly loves her. There's only one thing I can think off doing to jog her memory.

I grab her face in both my hands and push my lips against hers. How haven't I tried this before? Our lips carefully meet each other and sparks fly.

To my surprise, Sabrina actually kisses back. So she does remember us? For the first time in forever we're the same old again. Gosh I've missed these feelings.

I've missed expressing them,

I've missed how good they feel.

"Wait, stop... I can't...",

Sabrina pulls back.

Why?

What is it that she's so afraid of?

My heart breaks once again.

Is this it?

Is she gonna push me away again?
