Day 11
Okay so the kiss yesterday wasn't bad I gotta admit. I didn't know he was a good kisser. That doesn't matter. What matters is how it felt. I'm hanging out all day with Nick so it should be fun. I get ready and grab my purse and car keys. I walk out and meet him at the mall. "Hey!" We hug and pull away.
I wished it lasted longer. I look at him and for a second his faced changed. Like it wasn't his face anymore. It was....someone else. I suppose. I blink and it's gone. "You okay?" I nod. "Let's go" He nods. "Yeah.
Meanwhile at the hospital......
I was sitting watch her sleep peacefully. I can't believe this happened to her. Her parents then comes in and I snap my head to face them. "What are you doing here?"
"Um I'm your daughters boyfriend. And your here because your her family and I respect that."
"You shouldn't be here this is all your fault." Her father says.
"I know. I know that should be me on that bed. I know that I should've been there for her and I wasn't. It's my fault so don't remind me every second if I already know." I tell them with a little bit of angry in my voice at the end. I push past him and walk to the cafeteria. I barley ate anything since she was in a coma. There are no signs of her getting better. I remember that dream I had with her. The singing and the fact that she wants to wake up but can't. I feel like that was only my heart telling me to have hope.
I don't get why her family hates me. I mean like I know what happened back in high school was bad since we didn't really know about it but that was years ago. Back when we were like what? 15 or 16. I thought they were over that. Apparently not. I see the lights hung up. People with their families. Decorations everywhere. Hot chocolate. But it's just not Christmas without her by my side. I drink some of my hot chocolate.
"Austin?" I turn and see someone I was hoping to never lay my eyes on again.
Back to Zoey
We hung out for hours. It was fun. We even went to a Christmas light wonderland. If I could relive this day over and over again a probably would. Then I get a phone call."Oh hold on." He nods.
I answer.
(On the phone.)
Z: Hello?
A: Hey it's Austin you won't believe what just happened.
Z: What?
A: She back
Z: No way. Talk about wrong timing.
A: Look I have to go and check up on Becka. Hopefully her family isn't there.
Z: Yeah well bye! Well talk about this later. Tell me what's up with Becka I'm starting to get worried.
A: Yeah so am I. Well Bye Z.
Z: Bye.
(End of phone conversation)
"So where were we?" I ask. "Oh I have to go." I nod frowning. Then just again his face changed. It ad blue eyes and I just started to lean in. "Whoa Zoe what are you doing?" I stop and realize that it's Nick. Okay I have a problem. "Oh sorry. I'm gonna go now." I walk away. Stupid why did I do that!? All I saw was blue eyes and just wanted one kiss. Ugh! What's wrong with me! I call Noah. I don't know why so don't ask. I ask if he wants to hang out and he said yeah. He is going to meet me a the hot chocolate cafe. I sit there with my hot chocolate. I went to Becka this morning wanting to see is she can give me advice but she didn't. She's asleep.
I just want her awake. A tear slips down and I let it fall. "Hey Zoe. Are you crying?" I know it's him so I don't look up. He sits next to me. "Hey it's okay. Becka is gonna get better. I know she will." He pulls me to him. I cry silently in his chest. He looks at me and puts his hands to my cheek and wipes my tears away with his thumb. It's Christmas but it doesn't feel like it.
"Hey you okay now?" I nod. "Thank you"
"Your welcome" He smiles. I pierce in his deep blue eyes. I end up hugging him. I bury my face in his chest. It feels like Christmas with him but it feels like Christmas with nick too. "Come on." He takes my hand and we run. "Where are you taking me!?" I ask him. "Just come on." I sigh and give in letting him lead me to a place.
We get there and it's literally a Winter Wonderland. "Wow. I never heard of this place."
"That's because it's hidden by the trees. I found it when I was about 10." I nod. "It's beautiful."
"Yeah I know." We smile and I get on his back. "Whoa. What are you doing?"
"Getting on your back duh!?" I say. He chuckles rolling his eyes. We spend the rest of the day there.

December 11 and look how much as happened so far. There are 14 more days until Christmas and Zoey still need her Christmas present. She still has to find out somethings and figure out her feelings. Who's the girl Austin didn't want to see? Will Becka ever wake up? What will happen next? Well wait until tomorrow.
