Chapter Fifteen

"Oh gosh, we shouldn't of done that." I said when we broke apart.
"But it felt so right.." He muttered under his breath.
"What? No no no, I have a boyfriend." I said emphasis on 'boyfriend'.
"Sorry you weren't meant to hear that." He apologised. "You know your right, why would you even like me in that way anyway?"
"Don't get me wrong though, your hot and all it's just-"
"You have a boyfriend." He filled in for me.
"No no, I get it. It's ok. It's getting late so I'm gonna sleep." He said taking off his shirt showing his abs. "Em, could you get off my lap, please?"
"Oh ya." I said blushing realising I was checking out his abs. I got off his lap and then he took off his sweatpants.

"Wanna sleep here, tonight?" He asked.

"Sure." I said getting a little nervous, things were awkward enough as it was, imagine touching each other skin to skin. "Mind if I use one of your t-shirts as PJ's?" I asked him.

"Sure no problem." He shrugged yawning and getting into his bed.

"Can you close your eyes, please?"

"Sure." He said, as he closed his eyes I quickly found a green t-shirt and changed into it quickly.

"Done." I said then hopped into his bed. I switched off the bed lamp next to me and got into the sheets. He touched my hand and I instantly went stiff, he then sighed loudly.

"Look. I know that things are kinda awkward after the kiss. But no matter what I wouldn't do anything to ruin our friendship, so can we please not be awkward anymore?" He asked.

"Ya, it's ok. I'm wouldn't trade anything for our friendship too." I said then went in closer and put my hand on his chest. He put an arm around my waist and one over me to pull me into a hugging position.
After an hour or so into the night I just woke up, thoughts going through my head were just too much. "Why are you just so confusing?" I said under my breath staring at his sleeping face. Drew was wonderful, he was kind, he was caring, he made all these feelings bubble up inside me when we touched, kinda like now. Was this love? As in love love? "I couldn't possibly love you like that, could I?" I said also under my breath. I just thought about things looking at his face in the dark.

I couldn't possibly feel something for you, like that? No way.

I woke up to a ring ring on my phone, letting me know I had a text. I quietly eased out of Drew's arms and checked my phone, me cringing because of the light. After my blurred vision came back I opened the message from Chase 'can we talk?' It said.
'Sure when?' I asked.

'Now.'

'Eh, where?'

'The park nearby.'

'Ok sure, on my way.' I said closing the message and turning off my screen. I slowly got out of the bed.
"Hmm." Drew said waking up.

"Just go back to sleep." I whispered.

"Where are you going?" He asked in a hushed voice.

"Going to my dorm. I'll text you later."

"Mm k." He said going back to sleep.

I put on the clothes that I wore yesterday and headed straight to the park. As I expected Chase was by the entrance of the park waiting. There was an awkward silence then he finally broke it. "Hey."
"Hey, so what's up?" I asked wanting to hopefully, maybe snuggle with Drew again.

"Lets go sit, over by that bench first." He said walking over to the bench me following. "So first, I want to apologise for a few nights ago, when I rushed things too far. I know you were not ready and extremely uncomfortable I'm really sorry."

"It's fine." I said.

"And there's also one more thing I've been meaning to say. So I woke up and all I thought about was you. I just wanted you there, next to me. In my arms. Alex...."

"Yes?" I asked feeling queasy already.

"I love you." He said and as he did I felt my food coming up. I ran to a nearby pond and threw up in it, he was there tapping my back. "Is that throwing up of excitement?" He asked hopefully.

"I-I-I-I.... Can't do this..." I said running away.

"Alex!" He called after me but I just kept running. I wasn't looking where I was going so I bumped into a gang of guys.

"Hey, what's your problem?" One guy all tough and macho asked me.

"Nothing." I gulped nervously. Then they all gave each other a look I couldn't decipher. And all of a sudden one guy picked me up and another punched my chest really hard, then the guy who was carrying me dropped me on the floor, making me thump my hip really hard, then they all started kicking my back really violently. I couldn't see much anymore because blood was dripping into my eyes since one of them had punched my head. Then I heard someone running up to them trying to fight for me. I couldn't see anything else as things went blurry and I soon was unconscious.

****Drew PoV****

I called the ambulance rapidly with my only unbroken arm as the gang ran away. The ambulance was soon here and carried us both in different vans. "Take care of her." I said to the paramedics in the other van, as I walked into my one.

After we reached the hospital I ran straight to the other van and pried it open, hurting my broken arm. I cringed at the pain but no matter what, I just wanted to see her. She was laying there still unconscious. I ran up to her gurney and kissed her on the cheek. "Is she ok?" I asked eagerly.
"We don't know, but your gonna have to go." The paramedic told me.

"Ok, take care of her."
