She could be the one

Chapter 8

Christmas Eve-
I had all day to re-do Alex's room. She went out to visit family in some city just out of town and won't be back until late tonight. I had he parents permission to do all of this too, which was amazing. My parents and Damien volunteered to help. I had my dad and Damien take everything out and put it in the spare bedroom across the hall, while my mom taped off all the windows and started painting. I chose this really beautiful shade of blue. We painted her walls and Waited 3 hours before bringing everything back in. I put the rug down, the lamp, curtains, everything I bought got put in there. I even got a stunning chandelier light fixture and we replaced it. For the finishing touches I put on the new sheets and comforter, put the pillow cases on, and put the posters on the now dry wall, and hung up all the Christmas lights. The very last thing I did was put a picture of us I had printed and framed on the bedside table. I took one last glance around the room before heading home. When I got home I ran up into my room and took a shower to wash off all of the paint. I got ready, and went back to Dakotas house to wait for her to get home. She ended up getting home around 11pm, and when she came in her face was priceless. "WHAT THE- OH MY GOD!!!" she screamed. "DO YOU LIKE IT???" I screamed back, smiling. "OH MY GOD!!!" Is all the could say. She ran over to me and hugged me super right almost knocking me over. "Whoa whoa slow down and tell me if you like it or not." When she pulled away she was crying and all the could do was nod her head yes. "Yay I'm glad!" I smiled and wiped away her tears. "Merry Christmas, beautiful!" I said before kissing her. I pulled away and said "OH!! I almost forgot!" I opened her closet door and out came tumbling the eight foot tall 100+ pound teddy bear. I heard her scream before I felt her tackle me to the ground. "I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!" She screamed while attacking me with kisses. "THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!" I smiled and kissed her. "I couldn't wait until tomorrow because you live here and I can't keep you out of your room or else you would know something was up." "DAMNIT!" we heard her mom scream downstairs. "EVERYTHING OKAY MOM?" Dakota yelled to her. "FORGOT THE SUGAR FOR THE COOKIES!" she yelled back. "WELL GO GET SOME!" I yelled down to her. So me and Dakota hopped in the car to drive to the store. We were about have way there when Dakota said "I Still can't believe you re-painted my entire room and bought all of that stuff for me. It's the nicest thing I've ever had anybody but my parents do for me." She smiled. I looked over at her while driving and smiled back. "It's all because I love you babygirl." "I love you-" she started to say..right before we ran into another car.

I woke up to what looked like I was flying, but I soon realized I was being carried..well sort of. I was on a gurney I  a hospital being rushed to somewhere, I don't know. Then memories came rushing back. Her saying she loved me back. The crash. The sound of her screaming.. "Dakota.." I tried to say but my mouth was unbearably dry. I tried again. This time a bit louder. "Dakota!" I said firmly. Nobody seemed to hear me, or care. So I tried again. I'm not giving up. "DAKOTA!!!!" I screamed. The doctors looked over at me. "Where's my..Where is..is she.." I fumbled with my words. "She will be fine. Now stop talking, you need your energy. Do you remember what happened?" I nodded. "Good. No signs of memory loss.." he told the other doctor. We got into where we were going. That's when I felt it. These sharp pains in my neck, and arms. I started screaming. "SOMEBODY HELP MY ARMS! MY NECK!" Three nurses ran over to me "Miss calm down. Were going to put a mask on you now, it will help you with the pain." That's the last thing I remember hearing before I fell asleep. "..yes, well it could have been worse. If the glass would have been any deeper, it could have struck an artery which could have been deadly." I heard a doctor say as I woke up. I looked around and there were flowers and balloons on the table next to me. I had a clamp on my finger, bandages covering my arms..I reached up to my neck. And even more bandages on my neck. I saw my mom look over and say "OH! HONEY!! Are you alright? Are you in ANY pain? Any pain at all?" She kept bombarding me with a these questions. I them remembered what happened. And Dakotas screams. "Dakota." I said. "What honey?" My mom asked me. "Dakota!!" Where is she?!" I yelled. "She's fine, she had a lot less damage than you though, she got really lucky." "I need to see her." I said. "Not until later, sweetie." my mom told me. "Why." I said. "Doctor says you have to stay laying down until he comes back." "Tell Dakota I'm sorry." "Okay honey.." This is crazy. It's Christmas Eve..I can't believe I just ruined Christmas Eve for our family's. I can't believe I caused Dakota pain..I need to see her.. I thought to myself.
