The next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital. My parents sitting in chairs against the wall and Eli sitting in a chair next to me. My parents looked up as I groaned and rushed to my bedside. Eli looked at me with kind eyes, and then my eyes unblurred and i saw his face clearly. He had stitches running down his cheek and his nose was pushed in a bit. He has a bruise above his eyebrow and on his chin.
"Oh May, we are so glad your okay!" My parents smiled and then they saw the way I looked at Eli and got up and went out of the room.
"Eli, I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!" I whimpered.
"Your fault!? For getting beat up!?!?" Its not your fault!" He smiled.
"Are you okay?" I asked him.
"Yes, I'm fine. Its just some stitches." he replied. Then the doctor walked in as he started to say something else.
"Well I guess we will be seeing you both back here this weekend!" He told us.
"Huh?" I said.
"You and Eli are both having surgery this weekend to try to remove the cancer cells from your bodies." He said. I looked up at Eli and he kissed me on the cheek.
"It will be alright May." Eli told me softly as I started to cry. He held me tight to him and wrapped his arms around me.
"You can go home for now though." The doctor told us. I grabbed my clothes, changed in the bathroom and thats when I saw my face in the mirror. I had stitches running down my face from my forehead to my chin. I started to cry again, I looked even uglier now. I walked out and Eli hugged me and walked me down to his car. He took me to my house and we sat in my backyard and watched the sunset. I knew he was the perfect one.
"May, I think I love you." He said kissing me again. He loved me even through my ugliness.... <3
