The white fluorescent lights blinded me through my closed eyelids. I was to afraid of being completely blinded if I opened my eyes so I tried moving a limb instead. Nothing happened. I soon began to hear soft, distant voices around me.
"When.. she... wake up," the voice sounded familiar but I couldn't place it.
"Soon...go in," said a serious tone. I heard footsteps getting closer and a door open. I soon felt the bed go down on my right side and someone grabbed my hand. I heard someone say,
"Please wake up, Sam. I can't lose you. I don't know why I didn't push her away but you have to believe me... she practically jumped on me." I opened my eyes and was glad I wasn't blinded. I saw Colton sitting there crying and looking down at the ground as if he was ashamed of himself. Ah, he must have been the one talking. I decided to surprise him and say,
"Then why did you smile after she pulled away from you?"
His head snapped up and he looked at me shocked and relieved but also had some sadness in there.
"It happened so quick. I didn't even know it was her until she pulled away. She just came up and started kissing me and I was so shocked I closed my eyes practically instantly. Please believe me, Sam. I miss you. I need you with me. I just can't be without you. I love you!"
He was crying again by the time he finished. I was crying, too. I believed him, I had to. I reached up and put my arms around his neck, pulled him down to me and kissed him. After what seemed like forever we pulled away for air. He layed down next to me and wrapped an arm around my waist pulling me on my side, closer to him.

We must have fallen asleep because next thing I know is I'm being woken up by a couple of 'awww's. I peel my eyes open and see Colton's parents along with about 3 nurses. Also, his friends Trevor and Steven were here. They looked disgusted that Colton was in the same bed as me. I rolled my eyes at them and tried get out of Colton's hold but with my luck his grip only got tighter. I sighed and caressed his cheek lightly until he eyes started to flutter open. He smiled when he saw me and pulled me closer to him.
"Hun, we have guest." He looks down at me then over his shoulder to see everyone there. The nurses come over and just check that everything is alright. I focus on Colton as they give me a few shots and he still looks tired as hell. I asked him,
"How long have I been here?" He sighs and whispers back,
"About a week or so," I gasp.
"Have you even slept at all?" He nods his head and says,
"Only about an hour each day."
"That's not enough, baby." He just shrugs and I shake my head.
After about another twenty minutes I was all set to leave. I went into the bathroom and changed then came back out to see only Colton there.
"Where are your friends?" I ask him curious.
"They aren't my real friends. They can't just except the fact that I'm in love with you so I told them to leave." I smiled and walked closer to him since he sat on the edge of them bed and hugged him. he hugged back and because I was taller than him at the moment his arms really went around my thighs. He then stood up as well as lifting me off the ground and over his shoulder.
"Colton!"
"Yeah, baby?" He calls back as if nothing is going on. He walks out the room with me still on his shoulder all the way down to the lobby. We got smiles and giggles and laughs from other people watching us but eventually I just stopped struggling. When we got to the lobby the desk lady laughed and said I could leave. Once we got to the car he set me down and opened the passenger door for me. I thanked him and hopped in and put on my buckle.

When we got home I headed straight upstairs to his bedroom and flopped down on the bed. Colton came in after me and chuckled. He came over and laid next to me while I smiled at him. I could still see dark circles under his eyes so I told him,
"Get some rest. You need it more than I do." He smiled lazily and nodded, closing his eyes. About 2 minutes after he fell asleep came a knock on the door. I stood up and dragged my feet over to the door. I was pissed because I was just about to fall asleep again. I opened the door to a very happy Terri Capons. What the fuck is she doing here? I have no idea.
"What the hell do you want?" I asked her. She had a smug smile on her face that I just wanted to smack off right away.
"To see my friend."
"Yeah right. Just leave now and never fucking talk or look at me or him ever again. You understand?" I was shocked at strong my voice came out but I was also proud of myself. She looked shocked, too, then she huffed and turned around and walked away. I smiled to myself, closed the door and walked back to the bed and got comfy in Colton's embrace again. I couldn't fall asleep so I just watched Colton sleep. After about 15 more minutes of just memorizing his features on his face a small smile started to form on his lips and he said,
"I don't think it's polite to stare at someone. Especially when they're sleeping." His eyes then opened and I blushed a deep red and tried hiding my face in his chest.
"How long have you been awake?" I asked.
"About 5 minutes."
"Oh," was all I said.
We spent the rest of the day talking and laughing and watching T.V. and a few movies, going downstairs occasionally for food or drinks. At about midnight we decided to go to bed because we had school the next morning.
