Blue Eyes

Michael's POV

"I'm going to go get some food." I said getting up. Ashton nodded and I quickly left the room. I couldn't handle being in there for one more second, but I need to stay. What if I leave and Luke ends up waking up alone? That can't happen. I won't let it happen. I walked down the endless hallways until I found the elevator. I took it down to the main floor and walked to the cafeteria. This place has such horrible food, but it's all I've been eating lately since I only leave the hospital to take showers at home. You could pretty much say I've lived in that room with Luke for the past three weeks. I stood in line and got some weird looking pasta. At least this kind of looks edible. I sat down at an empty table and started picking at the food.

"You don't like the food either?" A girl said sitting down across from me. She had short red hair and was wearing a Fall Out Boy shirt.

"It's okay." I shrugged.

"Why are you here?" She asked spinning the pasta around with her fork.

"My boyfriend." I really fucking wish Luke would wake up already.

"Is he okay?" She asked.

"He got shot, but I guess he's a little better now." I said as she stared at me. Why is she even sitting with me?

"That's gotta really suck." She mumbled.

"It does." I shrugged then stood up.

"I'll see you around then." She said and I walked away.

*******
"Michael, come on it's time to go." Ashton said and I looked back at Luke once more.

"Okay." I got up from the seat beside Luke's bed and walked towards the door.

"Michael." A weak voice said from behind me. I turned away from the door to see Luke staring at me with extremely tired eyes.

"Luke." I quickly walked back over to the bed and wrapped my arms around him. He groaned in pain and I quickly moved away from him.

"Michael, you can't stay in this room forever." Ashton walked back into the hospital room but stopped abruptly.

"Your awake." A smile broke out on Ashton's face before he walked over to the other side of Luke's bed.

"Why are you guys here?" Luke's voice scratchy.

"Why wouldn't we be here?" I asked puzzled.

"You were flirting with some other dude at the party." He mumbled not looking at me. At least that shows that he didn't lose his memory.

"Talking to someone about you is considered flirting now?" I asked.

"How long have I been out?" He ignored my question as he looked at Ashton.

"About three weeks." He answered and Luke's eyes widened.

"Please don't tell me you guys have been here the whole time." Luke mumbled looking between Ashton and I.

"Michael has, do you know how hard it is trying to get him to leave this place?" Ashton shook his head. Luke's nurse then decided to walk in while staring down at her clipboard intently. She looked up and smiled when she realized that Luke was awake.

"It's nice to finally see those blue eyes that Michael has been talking about." She walked up to the end of the bed and started writing on her clipboard.

"When can I leave?" He looked down at where he had been shot then back up at her.

"Well, the bullet didn't hit any major arteries so the wound should heal within a couple weeks but it'll probably still hurt as it's healing. You should be able to go home within the next week or so. We're only keeping you here just to make sure the wound heals correctly." She explained and Luke nodded.

She had already explained all of that to Ashton and I after a week of him being here so I just stared at Luke the entire time. I probably seem creepy, but who cares. I fucking missed him actually talking and just doing something. For the last three weeks Luke had been here, but he hasn't. His body had been here but nothing else.

"Michael, you can stop staring at me now." Luke's blue eyes met mine as I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Sorry." I went to stand up but his hand grabbed mine so I stopped.

"You can't leave." He mumbled.

"I was just going to give you some space, Luke." I said but sat back down anyways.

"Well, I'm going to leave you two alone now. Also, keep it PG considering you guys are in a hospital." Ashton smiled then left the room leaving Luke and I.
