His Secret

Smile

Song of the chapter is U Smile

I hear beeping and noises surrounding me. “Is she ok will she be okay?” I hear Dustin scream. I hear my parents asking questions. “Mom, dad, are you there?” I say but I am too weak to reach out to them. “Honey I’m so glad you’re ok.” They say each holding a hand. “What happened?” I ask confused. “You were in a car crash. You just passed out that’s it.” I take a deep breath.

 “Allie you’re ok!” I hear someone say. I look up and see Dustin. I remember everything that happened before the accident. “I will leave you guys alone.” My parents say as they squeeze my hand reassuringly. “Allie this is all my fault. If only I came you wouldn’t be in the hospital.” I roll my eyes at him annoyed. “I know it’s all your fault and Taylor’s fault. Will you please just leave?” He looks at me and I immediately regret it. He gets up and walks away. “Dustin wait.” He looks at me hopefully. “Do you still have feelings for Taylor?” He walks up to me and holds my hand. “No I don’t. You’re the only girl. I want you and only you,” he’s practically begging for me.  I’ve heard it all before. “Why were you holding her hand?” I say as I wrench my hand out of his. “She held my hand and I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.”

Dustin sits in the hospital chair and I sit up. “Dustin, do you swear that’s all that happened?” He slips his hand into mine again but I don’t pull away. “Allie I swear nothing else happened. We just talked about the baby.” I always forgive him so easily I don’t know if I should. I take a deep breath. “You stood me up because you were with another girl,” I tell him as a stray tear falls I wipe it away with my hand quickly. “Don’t cry please Allie.”

 He climbs onto the hospital bed next to me. He wraps his arm around me and I cry into his chest. “I love you so much baby don’t forget it. You’re the only one I want.” I cry even more. “Do you really mean that?” I say between sobs. “Yes I mean it.” I smile and he kisses my cheek. I hear his phone start to ring. “Who is calling you?” I look up at him. “Taylor,” He says as he rolls his eyes. “Answer it.” He looks at me surprised and then answers. She says a few things and he answers. “I have to go I’m with my girlfriend you might know her. Her name is Allie. She is so gorgeous and fun and there’s this mean girl who is trying to split us up can you believe it?” I couldn’t hear Taylor’s response but it caused Dustin to smirk. He hung up straight after. 

“I love you,” I tell him. “I love you more.” I laugh and he leans in to kiss me so I turn my head and he brushes my cheek. I laugh at his annoyance at me and he leans in again so I turn and he kisses my other cheek. “Dustin my lips are not over there do you know how to kiss?” I say as I laugh hysterically. He pouts at me so I lean up as if I was going to kiss his lips so I kiss his nose. “Allie you are so annoying I haven’t gotten to kiss you all day and you decide to tease me.” He crashes his lips onto mine. I laugh in to the kiss. He is such a baby. I pull away and he leaned back in. “Dustin did you forget this is a hospital?” He pulls away and we both start laughing.

“Hey Allie cat I just wanted to tell you that you’re able to come home now.” My mom says as she smirks at us on the hospital bed. “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow.” He gets up. “ You can stay over tonight I’m guessing you slept in her room while we were gone?” I nod and run up and hug my mom. “Mom you’re the best I love you so much!” I run up and hug her. “I’m going to stop home and get some clothes.” He says as he walks out.

In the car ride home they are very careful. “Is the car ok?” I ask my parents nervous of the answer. “Nothing the mechanics can’t fix,” my dad says.  “I’m so sorry mom and dad I don’t know what came over me.” I honestly love how they aren’t threatening to kill me. “It’s ok just relax. I’m so glad you’re ok. The only thing that matters is your safety.”
