Chapter Twenty Three

#Lizzie's Pov#

The hospital called about Joey.......... His heartbeat came back, he's alive. When I heard this I threw my phone in my pocket and drove to see him.

I walked into his room, he looked.... BETTER!

"Hi, Joey. How *sob* are you?" I asked with a few tears warming my cheeks.

"B-better, Liz." Joey was crying as well. He struggled to lift his hand out. I took his hand and brushed it softly.

"Hey, it's New Year Eve!" Joey said as he stopped crying. He barely pointed to the Tv, he was watching the New Years Eve channel. I smiled.

"I wouldn't have been alive right now if it wasn't for you. You saved me Lizzie, and I'm proud that I get to spend New Years Eve with the person who stuck with me." He said starting to cry again. I was crying again too.

"They, told me to give up hope, but I didn't, and I wasn't going too." I said. Joey once again struggled to wipe a tear away from my cheek. But he did. I didn't want him using his energy on me. I cupped his cheek and wiped one of his own tears away. I still had my hand on his cheek, he reached up put his hand on mine. I smiled through tears.

"Come on, Liz. I don't want to see you cry. Please don't cry."

"Too late!" I said laughing a little. Joey rubbed my hand with is thumb. I realized how sweet he is, and That was why I loved him a little while ago. I know he hurt me, but I hurt him first. I am realizing that, I love Joey, I really love Joey.

We watched the Tv together. They announced that the ball was dropping.

Joey and I was counting with them."10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. Happy New Year!" Joey looked at me, and I looked at Joey. We both leaned in and kissed.

"Happy New Year Joey." I whisper against his lips.

"Happy New Year Lizzanya." He whispers back.
