 Chapter 7

My eyelids felt like they were crusted shut, but as soon as I opened them, Zayn’s face brightened up. After one look at him I could tell he’s been crying. Poor baby, I hate that. Whenever my best friends cry, it breaks my heart. I wish he could have known I was fine. He starred down at me, and I starred up at him. He hasn’t pressed the button yet, to let the doctor know I have awoken. We’re just sitting in silence. Zayn smiled at me, and I smiled back. We started having one of those “mind reading” conversations yet again. Nothing needed to be said at this moment.

Eventually, he spoke up, “How was your sleep?” he asked softly.

“I missed you a lot,” I answered, cutting right to the chase.

 His smile faded a bit, “Chris, I’m sorry I left, and I'm sorry I lied, and-“ I cut him off before he repeated his whole speech again.

“Zayn, it’s okay. I already heard what you said; when you thought I was in my coma.”

Suddenly, his cheeks flamed bright red. I chuckled to myself. I took a deep breath and continued talking, “I heard you said that you broke up with your girlfriend, and that…you are in love with me”

----Zayn’s POV----

I starred at my lap as my cheeks burned from the embarrassment. Even though I meant everything that I said…her hearing it, is still embarrassing. But, if I really want to fix things between me and her, I must keep at this.

 “Did you mean it?” she choked up. I looked deep into her eyes. They always change color, right now they were a beautiful mist green. They change depending on her emotions, but you could only tell if you look really hard. I looked back down at my lap, and she sat there waiting for my answer.

Finally I looked back up at her and said, “I meant it. With all I’ve got in me.” I finished starring deep into her eyes like never before. Chris looked into mine with as much amazement, and love that mine probably showed. I glanced at her luscious lips, then back to her eyes. She did the same. As I leaned in, our foreheads bumped together and it felt like the first time I’d ever held her hand when we were little; tingles, all over. Our lips were barely touching right now, oh how I want to make her mine. “I love you” she quietly whispered as she blushed. “I love you too, Christa” And we shared our first REAL kiss, everything that makes us best friends, and lovers.

She pulled away after ten seconds, and she maneuvered around, until she was sitting up. “It feels so great to move again,” she smiled. I smiled back at her, “Must be. You have been out for a really long time.” Her eyebrows went down, and she looked confused, “Really? It felt like a day. See…you won’t believe me…but the first day I was in my coma, I like…came out of my body…and I walked around the hospital and saw everybody. And I saw some really weird things too.”

----Christa’s POV----

He started laughing; obviously he thought I was crazy or something. But he replied, “Oh really? And what was everyone doing?” I cleared my throat, and said, “Well Liam and Niall were eating Nandos right where you are sitting right now.” His facial expression changed, “Hmmm. I actually think that happened. That is so weird.”

 “Yeah, I know” I said smartly. I told him about EVERYTHING I saw, and I mean EVERYTHING! After I finished, I looked up at him. He looked half amazed, and half grossed out, “Are you sure that wasn’t a dream?! I don’t think Morgan and Louis would do that!” he laughed throwing his head back. I laughed too, feeling a little foolish, for telling him the gross parts. “Maybe we should get the doctor in here, to check you out,” and with that he pressed the button beside my bed.
