*Caspar's POV*

I wake up to an empty room and throbbing head. I put my hand on my forehead, but feel something like stitches there. I frown. What had happened?

Suddenly I remember. The kiss, Joe running away, and I pushing Joe to save him from crashing into the car.

I move around a bit, a surgeon tells me to stay still and asked if I want to sit up. I nodded, and she helped.

She then went out, and came back in with Joe. Then she left again.

"Hi." I said, trying to avoid the awkwardness.

"Hey."

There's silence in the room, and I look up at Joe. He's looking at his shoes.

"Joe, come here." I scoot over a little, so he can sit on the bed.

He sits, facing me.

"Thank you, Caspar, for saving my life. But did you really have to do that?"

I didn't reply for a few seconds, but when I was about to speak Joe was crying.

"No, Joe, please don't cry!" I hug him. "You're more precious than me. You're safe, and that's great. Also, I love you."

I just blurted out I love you! We haven't been dating even for more than a month. But, my heart started beating faster when I said it.

"I love you too. I'll always love you." Joe said, and a sense of relief flowed over me.

"Even after what's happened? Don't you hate me?" I ask, not caring about his I love you until he's answered this.

"Caspar, its not that easy hating someone you love. It may start of as a crush. But after months and months and months of absolutely crushing on them, you realize its love. And I'm not a love guru or anything, but I know this. Loving you, Caspar Lee, has been the best thing I've ever done."

Tears were filling my eyes and before I could say anything, he kissed me.

This boy has stolen my heart, probably at the wrong place because just after a second, my head aches really badly, and I back away with a scream.

"You okay?" Joe asked, concerned.

"Just some headache."

"Oh, yeah, okay. The doctor said it'll stay for a week."

"A week?"

And we giggled and laughed, before falling asleep in each other's arms.
