Why do we fall in love?

16. Hospital

Everything is black. I don't know what happened. My entire body hurts. Especially my head. Where am I? Am I alone? I don't want to be alone. Where is Leah? And where is Ava?

"Leah?" I mumble. I move my head slightly and slowly open my eyes. I hear some beeping sounds around me.Where am I? What Happened to me?

"Ava?" I mumble. Why is nobody talking?

"It's okay. I'm here with you." I hear Ava's Voice and then fully open my eyes. I'm in bed. Ava is sitting next to me and is holding my hand. I grab her hand more tightly and look at her. Then I remembered it. I had an accident. I'm In a hospital. I look down at my body and see all the injuries that cause me so much pain.

then I get such a headache. "Ouch," I say and put my male on my head. I feel a bandage on my head.

"Are you in pain?" Ava asks. and I just look at her. What does she think? That I'm not in pain after I was in an accident. "right, bad question. I'll get a nurse" Ava says and walks out of the room and I feel myself close my eyes and sleep. I feel so exhausted.

I start to open my eyes when I hear voices. I hear Avas but there are more than hers. and somehow I hope Leah is here. I really want her to be here with me right now. "leah?" I ask and start looking around until my eyes land on Leah sitting on the couch next to me. "hi" she says and smiles at me. "Hi" I say and smile at her.

Leah and I look at each other with a stupid smile on our faces like we're crazy. But her blue eyes are like a hypnosis for me, I can't get enough.

But we are interrupted by Ava "sorry to interrupt you but there are more people in the room" she says and it makes me look at Leah to see who else is here.

"How are you?" Viv asks, standing behind beth. "better now you're here" I say looking at Leah again.

"Do you know what happened?" Leah asks. and i know what happened i just don't want her to know.

"someone ran me over on my way to Ava" I say looking at Ava. "Do you know who ran you over?" Beth asks and I don't answer, I just look at Ava.

"It is him. right?" Ava says and I don't want the others to know. not right now. I nod at Ava a little weakly, hoping the others wouldn't see.

"Wait, you know who the person was?" Beth asks. "it doesn't matter, he's not in my life anymore" I say a little sadly. That my own father ran over me just because he hates me so much.

"You have to report him, he can't keep up with you like this" Ava says and she knows the whole story. but I don't want the others to know. I'll talk to Leah myself about this. but not right now.

"Let it go Ava" I say to Ava just to make her stop talking. "But he's your-" I cut Ava off before she says anything more. "I said let it go" I say and look down at mine and Leah's hands and I immediately get a smile on my face.

I look up at Leah and meet her eyes. I know I should talk to her about my dad but I'll do it when I'm no longer in the hospital. Leah gives me a weak smile and
That's when I remembered. "What day is it?" I ask, looking at the girls. "uhh it's tuesday" Beth says which makes me look at Leah and then look at Ava.

"How can it be Tuesday, it was Saturday yesterday?" I am honestly confused. and that's when Leah squeezes my hand a little extra before Ava says "when you were in the accident you hit your head badly which put you in a coma for two weeks. You also have a broken rib that is almost healed" When Ava says that, there's only one thing I can think of.

"our date" I say and look at Leah who gives me a weak smile. "we get to do it when you're discharged." Leah says, stroking my knuckles. and I smile at Leah.

"Date!?" Beth says, making me and Leah laugh and look at Beth.

"Do you want to say?" I ask Leah who gets a smile on her face. "Are you sure, we don't need to if you're not ready." she says and I think it's cute how she wants to watch with me that I really want to tell them this.

I nod at her. "Me and Emma are dating," Leah says with a smile. and it's weird to hear it out loud. I've repressed liking Leah since I laid eyes on her. but somehow I always knew.

"I knew it, I was right" says Beth and starts jumping up and down. Leah starts laughing at how Beth reacts.

And I feel how I get tired. "Are you okay?" Leah asks lovingly, she sees how I start to close my eyes. "I'm just tired," I say, continuing to close my eyes.

"We should go home really late and let Emma sleep" says Ava and everyone agrees. "Goodnight Emma" says Beth and Vivi and gives me a hug, even though I'm half asleep.

"See you tomorrow babe" says Ava and hugs me. Which leads to Leah and it makes me open my eyes. I want to see her before she leaves.  The others stand outside and wait for Leah.

"I'll explain everything to you, just not right now" I tell Leah. "You don't have to explain anything to me that you don't want to," says Leah, stroking a strand of hair behind my ear. "I know, but I want to. I want you to know" I say and Leah smiles at what I said. "Just do it when you feel 100% ready, no pressure" says Leah and I think it's sweet she's kind and considerate she's into this.

"I'll come and see you tomorrow" she says and looks down at me. She gives me a hug and when she starts to pull back, I hug her even tighter to keep her close to my body. I just want her a little closer to me for a while longer. "goodnight my love" she says and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "good night williamson" i say. Leah chuckles at what i said ,before she leaves the room and I drift off to sleep.

Author note, sorry it took so long. have a lot to do. and so I've been a little unsure if Vivianne should stay at Arsenal because she's no longer there.  but it's too sad so she will remain in my book. I hope it's okay for you. But I hope you like this chapter. and as always feel free to write what you think and what you want.
