Never Fall

13) Dreamland ♡

Chapter 13

The first thing I saw when I woke up was Marie leaning over me. When she saw my eyes open, her whole face lit up.

"She's awake! mi niña está despierto .. we were so worried, you were losing so much blood. Thank god these wonderful boys got you here in time!" She squealed, kissing my forhead.

I tried my best to smile although I was feeling quite dizzy.

I saw both Jesse and Blake in the corner of the room, they had relieved smiles on their faces.

"You didn't call my sister did you?" I asked nervously. Marie gave me a pitying look.

"I had to, cariño ... you needed a blood transfusion, that's serious." She told me with a soft expression.

My eyes widened, "A -- a blood transfusion? But who ..?" I asked incredulously. She gave me a small smile and looked at Jesse. My heart melted when I realized it was him.

"I would've done it, but I'm not AB positive like you and Jesse." Blake piped in. "That's okay, blake." I said with a light chuckle. His eyebrows furrowed, almost like he was upset that he wasn't the one to have given me blood.

"Would you like something from the cafeteria downstairs?" Marie asked me. "That's okay." I told her, I actually did want something because i was starving but I didn't want to be rude. Just then, my stomach gave a loud rumbled and Marie chuckled lightly before leaving. My cover was blown.

When Marie was gone, I took this time to thank Jesse. He smiled, showing his slight dimples. "It was kind of my fault you got hurt anyways, it's the least I could have done." He told me, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly.

"No, it wasn't your fault. It wasn't anyone's fault, it just happened."

Thats when I started to remember everything else that happened today, completely. My day was pretty f*cking hectic. The huge fight me and Jesse had this morning, where we pretty much called the whole thing off. No one knew that though. That's when me and Shane ditched school and got caught, leading us to get suspended. Then I saw Jesse, with another girl. My stomach dropped at the thought of his arms around her, but I brushed it off.

Marie entered the room a few momemts later, with a box of pizza. My face broke out into a smile at the look and smell of it.

"Mom how'd you get dominoes from the cafeteria?" Jesse asked in astonishment. "I ordered it, silly. I knew Ariana wasn't going to want that nasty hospital food."

I smiled warmly at her. "That's so nice of you, marie. Thanks!" I gushed as we all proceeded to dig in. I f*cking loved pizza.

"F*ck." I muttered as I looked at my phone.

7 missed calls

2 voicemails

3 messages

And they were all from my worried sister. I sighed in annoyance, I really did not want to face her wrath right now.

I was so glad to back in my own ... well, jesse's guest room bed. It was much better than a hospital cot.

I then dragged my lazy self out of bed and got into the shower. It was much needed.

I turned on the warm water and let it touch my palm, when it was just the right temperature for me, I stripped out of my clothes and got in. The warm water ran over my body soothingly as I closed my eyes and let the relaxation consume me.

As I lathered the bubbly soap in my wet palm, I began to think about Jesse. Sooner or later we were going to have to talk about what was going on between us, I wasn't sure if this fake dating thing was worth it anymore. It was obviously the best decision to just stay friends.

I dried myself off with my fluffy white towel and dressed myself in shorts and a tee shirt.

I could've died today. The thought hit me as I was currently lying in bed with the blankets pulled over me. If it wasn't for Jesse finding us, would I have bled out? I almost laughed when I thought about the fact that none of us had noticed the great loss of blood I was suffering from my head at first. I was pretty sure Jesse's sheets were stained red.

That's when my door creaked open ever so slightly. Fear washed over me. "Who's there?" I croaked into the darkness. Light shone through the open crack, brightening my face in the dark. I narrowed my eyes as I spotted the familiar figure.

"Jesse?" I called out, unsure. What was he doing in here so late at night? I could just make out his sheepish expression as he made his way towards me, closing the door behind him.

I felt him climbing onto my bed, I looke at him in confusion. He settled himself right beside me and got under the covers. My heart beat began to quicken once I felt his warm arms slowly snaking around me.

"W - what are you doing?" I asked shakily. The close proximity of our bodies was sending chills through my spine. "Shhh." He whispered, pulling me closer so that my head was leaning against his chest and his was in the crook of my neck. I shivered when he placed a light kiss there.

For a moment, we just layed there in a sleepy silence, I felt my eyes beginning to close. I was so comfortable in this position, although I had no idea why we were in it. I savored the feeling of his body next to mine, the heat radiation off of him was engulfing me, I could hear his silent heartbeats as my head rested on his chest.

"I'm so f*cking sorry." He suddenly croaked. "Today, it was all my fault.. I should've never kissed that girl, I know it made you look bad and people would talk. I was just being spiteful since I was mad. But I'm sorry, I -- I'll make it up to you. Tomorrow in school, I'll tell everyone you dumped me and not the other way around. I promise." Jesse told me in a hushed, apologetic voice.

I moved around a little so that I was facing him, "It's fine Jesse, I don't even care anymore. Obviously this agreement we had was a mistake, but that's okay. None of this was your fault." I told him, meaning every word.

He looked at me sadly. "But it is.. if I wouldn't have upset you, you wouldn't be in the hospital." He mumbled. I stared up at him wide eyed.

"What are you talking about? The car accident wasn't your fault!" I nearly yelled. He was blaming himself too much.

He shook his head. "If you weren't so upset at me, you wouldn't have got in the car with that jerk, I would have driven you home normally and you wouldn't be in the mess." He said softly, looking down at me with a now unreadable expression on his face.

I sighed, "It wasn't your fault Jesse, things happen. Maybe if I wasn't such a mess, Blake could've focused on the road." I told him. "I messed you up though." He continued stubbornly.

I shook my head, "I'm messed up for so many other reasons, not because of you." I said. He squeezed my shoulder, "How can you be such a good person? I don't get it. You even forgave your ex when he damn well didn't deserve it." Jesse replied.

"I find that letting things go makes for a clearer mindset." I told him softly. He smiled down at me, a twinkle in his green eyes. I felt a blush spread to my cheeks from the way he was looking at me, even in the dark I could barely make out the inviting expression on his face. Then, ever so slowly, I felt him lean down so that our noses were touching, then he whispered against my lips "Go to sleep, Ariana."

I bit my lip in false anticipation, I wanted a good night kiss. But we weren't dating and that wasn't my place, so I just slightly nodded and turned around. I felt him grip me by the waist to pull me closer and bury his face in my neck again.

Electricity ran through my body at his touch, the feeling was so pleasent. And as I felt his warm, relaxing breath against my neck, I closed my eyes and flew to dreamland.
