I wake up and my eyes are swollen , my lips cracked

The door to Harry's room open

My hair was a mess
I did my best to clean myself up
And then I sat down next to his bed

I held on to Harry's hand delicately
And I rest my head on his hand
And suddenly he squeezes my hand
I lift my head
"Harry..?"
His eyes start to slowly open and I finally get to see his beautiful eyes again
The emerald green colour that changed from time to time , warm and comforting .
He tries to turn his face slowly and he makes eye contact with me ,and smiles

"And you were scared."
He says, his voice weak .
"Could you blame me ? I thought I lost you." He looks at me and smirks
"I love your hair ." He says trying to laugh at my mess of hair but winces at the pain
"The doctor says you'll be in pain a while ."
"Well I now what would make the pain better .."
"Yeah I think they have pain killers for it.."
"That's not what I mean you beautiful idiot ..."
"Oh ..then what do you mean?"
"Your kisses .."
I feel my cheeks go red and I look down
"Harry I don't know ...after what happened with you and..."
"Joanna ..did you even listen to me that night? I love you ..do you still love me ..?"
He asked like he wasn't sure anymore , which hurt me a little .

"If I didn't love you Harry would I be here looking like this , getting into a fight with a nurse over the fact that she wouldn't let me back into your room so I had to sleep on a chair right outside , or would I feel like my whole world just fell when I saw you bleeding out and hurt because you were protecting me , and would I ride on the ambulance with you here , and kiss your cheek when it turned to the new year and while everyone else was celebrating I was here praying you would be okay because no one knew if you would wake up , and wishing it was me in that bed and not you because I can't imagine a world without you ."

My eyes start to water again
My head still ducked down ,Harry moves his hand up to my cheek ,lifting my head up , his thumb rubs my cheek .

I put my hand on his hand on my cheek , I move from my chair and sit on his hospital bed , he put his other hand on my face cupping it , he pulls my face closer to his , I run my fingers through his hair , and then he kisses me and it was like a breath of fresh air .

"Don't ever do that again Harry , do you understand me ?"
I say to him
"I didn't think I was that bad of a kisser ."
"That's not what I'm talking about , I thought you were gone ."
"Joanna , if it were you I was risking my life for , I would fight a whole army to protect you ."
"I love you too ."
A smirk breaks on to his face
"I like it when you say that ."
"I know ."

Joanna has me so anxious for this surprise for my birthday
She says that it's going to be "the time of our lives !" Which is making me nervous for tonight ...because she made plans for me ,my family and hers to go out for supper , but to be honest I'm surprised her father allows her to date me considering the age difference it isn't that big just two or three years but I mean it's still there , but I still love her . I don't know why but this dinner makes me nervous , we've been dating and her parents know me and all but they've never met my family and it makes me nervous a bit .

My leg shakes as I wait for my family to get ready while I sit here nervously in my suit twiddling my thumbs and playing with my rings .
