liv and nate had arrived at the hospital over an hour ago. luckily, chris was now conscious and was able to talk to liv and nate. chris' first words were where's dejah to which liv and nate laughed hysterically over.

when nate and liv walked back into the room, a weak smile was spread across his face, "hey you two." chris said, his voice soft but filled with warmth.

nate rushed to his side, "hey chris, we bought you some snacks from the vending machine."

liv placed the snacks on the bedside table, then stood beside nate, "we miss you chris. it hasn't been the same hanging out without you."

chris smiles and reaches over to grab one of his snacks, "i miss you guys too. i think i'm getting better."

they spent the next hour talking, reminiscing about old times and sharing stories. chris' laughter, though softer then before, filled the room with a sense of normalcy. as they talked liv and nate could see glimpses of their friend-the chris they knew and loved-shining through the pain and exhaustion.

when it was time to leave, liv leaned down and hugged chris, "dejah, matt and nick should be coming to see you soon too. they can't wait to see you now that you're finally awake."

nate giggles and hugs him also, "dejah mentioned that she was going to come up a bit earlier to have some alone time with you, so look forward to that."

chris was indeed looking forward to it. he was so excited to finally see her, especially since the last time they had spoken, it was when they were arguing. there was nothing that he wanted more then to see dejah.

outside the sun was beginning to set, painting the sky in shades of pink and orange. the sunsets reminded him of dejah because of how beautiful they both were. his gaze suddenly shifting to his door as he sees it creek open, revealing dejah. his once weak smile soon grew into a strong one as he watches dejah slowly walk towards him, "i was just thinking about you, beautiful girl."

dejah immediately begins to sob, now walking fast towards him. she drops all of her bags and kisses him passionately. they hadn't kissed in a long time, it was something they both missed doing. "oh god, you're okay" she says, pulling away for a moment to see his face. her eyes wander all over at his different features before hugging him tightly.

chris smiles and pulls her in closer with a struggling arm, "i missed you so much. this whole time i've been thinking about you. i'm so sorry-"

dejah laughs through her tears, "you don't have to be sorry. i know you're sorry and i forgive you. i forgive you in every life time, you know i'll always forgive you because i love you, chris." she speaks, stroking the few tuffts that peeked out from under his bandages.
