The QB and his girl.

14. Dreams

Jade's pov.

'Hi Jade, it's Blake.' I hear a voice through the blackness. 'I could've lost you today, hell, I did there for a second. And I realized I can't live without you baby. You make me smile and laugh more than anyone can. You believe in me when no one else did. I know you can hear me so I'm going to tell you all about how I fell in love with you.' Yes! I can hear you? Wait. Who is this? 'And how I will always love you know matter what happends.' He pauses and I want to say things back to the dreamy voice but the darkness covers my mouth. 'I love you So Much Jade. You're so beautiful and sexy. You're smart and determined. You fight for what you want. And you are passionate about sports, I mean whats not to love?' I do love sports. 'I love your attitude and your smart remarks.' That's a first. 'I love your sarcasm and the way you only cry during movies.' He chuckles and my brain tells me to smile but my lips don't cooperate. 'I love the way you feel in my arms and the way you opened up to me. I love that you're still alive and that you failed at your attempt to end your life.' How'd he know about that? Who is this? 'I love how strong you are to overcome that and make something of yourself. I love how much you love your brother. I love how you respect your fathers wishes even though they keep you from being mine completely.' Being whose? 'But I know for sure that I am completely and irrevocably in love with you.'

I love you too. I don't know what you look like because my eyelids are glued shut but I love how much you love me. I try to yell this but nothing happends, its like I don't have control over my body anymore. I feel his presence beside me but he says nothing. Wind gushes against me as he spins and walks a few steps. I hear plastic shift as, I'm guessing he sits on a chair.

I try again to move or talk but nothing happends. Panic shutters through me as I feel my breathing pick up and my heart beat fast. It must've been minutes, hours before I finally snap myself out of it. My eyes snap open to see the familiar boys face all over again. Blake.

I sit up quickly drenched in sweat. I'm gasping for air as I clutch the tightness forming in my chest. I turn to the left towards the plastic chair and see a sleeping Gordan, no blake. I plop back down in my bed and blow out a frustrated breath. Dumb fake dreams, playing with my feelings, I pout to myself.

'What's got you all pouty?' Asks a smirking Gordan as he runs the sleep from his eyes.

'Nothing..'

'Jade..' He presses.

'Ugh, I had a dream.'

'Okay... About what?'

'I think it was when I was in my coma.' I say fidgeting with my fingers.

'What are you talking about? I thought it was just like being asleep?'

I shook my head. 'At times yes, but if someone touched me, i felt it. Or if they talked, i heard it.'

'What did you remember?'

'I don't think its real just forget about it- did you ask the nurses when I'm getting out of here?' I changed the subject quickly, not wanting to talk boys with my big brother.

'Uh- yeah. They said tonight if your blood pressure is stable.' He says narrowing his eyes at my subject change.

'Great now get my pizza, peasant.' I order in a British accent.

'You're lucky you're hurt.' He scoffs and storms out.

I suddenly realize I'm alone, and bored as hell. I search my white room for something to do when i spot my white Iphone on the windowsill across the room. I start to get up when a flash of pain whips though my right arm. Shit, i have an IV in my arm. God I can't even get my own phone by myself. I hit the nurse button with my fist and in less than a minute a young nurse with blond hair and brown eyes runs in.

'Yes, Ms. Lawson?'

'Hi, can you get my phone over there?' I point to it. She scurries over to it and hands it to me.

'Anything else?'

I shake my head. 'No, thank you!'

She smiles and exits the room. I slide open my phone and my lock screen is a picture of me and Blake. When was this taken? I don't remember it.

Blake and I have matching red and black Alabama jerseys on with the number 7 on it. My smile is genuine as i stare into the camera, but Blake's attention is on my face. He's smiling so big and his arm is wrapped securely around my waist. Blake looks sweaty and there is a huge crowd behind us. I guess this was taken after a football game.

We look like a couple. But- I don't remember.

'You've been staring at your phone for 20 minutes.' Gordan says from the door of my room.

'Oh.' Is all I can muster.

'What's wrong?'

I sigh and show him my phone. He smiles and nods.

'That's you and Blake at the championship last year. Blake threw the winning touchdown and you went crazy..' He laughed. 'You ran from the bleachers and jumped the fence bordering the field and ran onto the field jumping into Blake's arms.' My eyes widen at all these things he's telling me that I don't remember. 'Aimee took a picture of you two and you smiled but Blake couldn't take his eyes off of you.'

'I-I don't remember it that way.'

'Oh right, well how do you remember it?' He asked and then sat on the end of my bed.

'I remember Blake throwing the touchdown and then I was excited but after everyone stopped cheering I remember driving home to my dorm and going to bed. Nothing else about Blake and the picture.' I shut my eyes and rub my temples trying to relieve the frustration. 'I need to see him, Gordan. I need to see Blake.'

'Well you have his number, just call him.'

I nod and search through my contacts. 'Is this his number?' I show him the contact named, Blakey-poo.

He laughs and nods. 'Yup, thats his number.'

'Okay now go away.' I tease and he scoffs before smiling at me and leaving.

I dial his number and call him, it rings two times before and deep hoarse voice answers.

'Hello.' He says obviously the call woke him up due to his morning voice.

'Blake?'

'Jade?!' He all but yells through the phone.

'Hi.' I say awkwardly.

'Is there something wrong? What's going on? Are you okay? Please tell me you're okay.' He rambles.

'Blake, I'm fine!' I interrupt and he laughs.

'Okay.. So um why did you call? Did you need something?'

'Uh yes. I had a dream this morning and it woke me up. It was about you..'

'Me?'

I nod then I realize he can't see me. 'Yes, did you uh- talk to me when I was in a-a coma?'

He pauses and i can hear his rapid breaths. A few minutes go by before I think he hung up.

'Yes.' He breathes out.

'Oh okay.'

'You're not gonna ask what I said?'

'No.' I pause. 'Because I already know.'
