Can't Let You Go (Adommy)

Chapter 16

ADAM'S POV
I woke up and looked around me, my surroundings unfamiliar. I saw the IV in my arm and guessed I was in a hospital for whatever reason. I saw Tommy sleeping in the chair beside my bed, and I smiled at how beautiful he looked.
Then I remembered why I was in the hospital in the first place. Tommy is probably only here to let me know that it's really over, just in case I may have forgotten when I blacked out. No wonder he doesn't want me! I'm not even useful enough to kill myself right!
I took this opportunity to say what I needed to to Tommy, because I still don't plan on living without him.
"Tommy," I whispered quietly enough so he wouldn't wake up. "I'm sorry for whatever I did. I hope you find happiness in your life. However, I can't see anyone being interested in me, so I don't see a reason to be on Earth anymore. Thank you for what little time you gave me. I wouldn't trade anything for these last couple of months." I felt tears rolling down my cheeks softly as I leaned over to gently kiss his forehead.
I rolled back over to go to sleep when I heard Tommy quietly say, "Adam?"
I turned to face him. To my surprise, he smiled and kissed me.
"Adam, I'm so sorry. I never should have-"
"Tommy, it's okay, I don't need your pity. I get that you aren't interested. It's okay," I interrupted.
"Adam, baby, I love you more than anything. I wish I hadn't yelled at you. My mother found out about us and she hit me. I was afraid. So I tried to break us off. But in reality, the fear of losing you is worse than anything my mother could ever do to me. I'm not trying to excuse what I did. It was wrong, and I can never make up for making you so upset that you'd attempt something like this. But if you choose to let me, I swear to you that I will devote every day of the rest of my life to trying to make it up to you."
"You love me again?" I asked, frightened that I had imagined this and that he wanted nothing to do with me.
"I never stopped, Babyboy, and I never will." He lifted my hands and kissed them softly. I felt the weight on my shoulders go away, and I felt happy. Happy that I didn't die, happy that things were okay, and happy that the person I loved was in love with me.
