I opened my eyes to find Lauren sitting next to the bed. Her head resting on hand as she slept.

I knew sleeping like that had to be uncomfortable. There was a knock at the door, and the nurse walked in with my breakfast.

"Good morning Mr. Kruger, I brought you your breakfast." I saw Lauren's eyes flutter as she woke up. "Good morning to you too, Mrs.Carter."

"Good morning to you too" Lauren greeted, yawning.The nurse sat the tray of food on the table then she left the room, leaving us alone.

Paul tried to sit up, but was unsuccessful from how weak he was. I knew he must be hungry from having his stomach pumped so I took the fork from the tray and fed him his food.

"Thanks" he said. I ignored what he said. The sunshine shone through the big hospital window. Allowing the sun to light up the room.

We sat in silence as I helped him eat, and he quickly finished the meal. A knock came from the door and Coach Harbaugh walked in.

"Good morning" he greeted. "Good morning Coach Harbaugh" I greeted. "I'm guessing you want to talk to him?"

He nodded. "I'll just go then" I replied. "You don't have to leave" John informed.

"I'm just going to get something from the cafeteria." I stood up and left the room.

I walked down the hallway. Everyone was asking for autographs and pictures but I declined, I didn't feel very well right now.

When I got to the elevator I pressed the down button. One of the elevators opened and I got on and pressed the first floor button. I quickly found my way to the cafeteria where his family was sitting.

I went over to the food sections and grabbed a banana yogurt and a bottle of water. I wasn't a big fan of hospital food. I went over to the table where they were sitting. "So how is he feeling?" his asked.

"Weak. He could barely sit up" I told her as I ate my yogurt.

She didn't ask anymore questions. But she told me what the doctor had said; that he would discharged tomorrow if we were lucky.

'He only has one kidney so why would he drink that much?. Stuff like that was deadly!' I couldn't lose Paul, his descion to drink that amount again could kill him.

He came into the hospital with alcohol poisoning. And they had to pump out all the alcohol.

Some of his family members started going up to see him.

His mom my rubbed my back. "Why would he do something so stupid!"I groaned, more angry than sad. "I don't know.." "He knows he should'nt be drinking like that! He could've died.."

His mom didn't reply. "You need to get some rest." I nodded in agreement. Last night I could barely sleep because I was worried sick. She stood up. "Come on." I sighed and stood up.

I followed her up to Paul's room where he was looking out the window. Without saying anything I climbed onto the bed next to him, cuddled up and went to sleep.

After a while of watching tv, eating and being bored my family walked through the door and greeted me. I kept my arm wrapped around Lauren. I knew she would be mad at me for a few days but who could blame her?

"How ya' feeling?" Uncle Keith asked. "I've felt better" I responded, my head aching from the hangover. They all took seats around the room. "We're really disappointed in you" my mom started.

"I know, I know" I replied. I looked down at Lauren. Her chest lightly rising and falling.

"She was really upset with you last night. After she heard what happened she didn't even want to see you. She just wanted to go home" my mom told me.

I looked back down at Lauren as she woke up.

She got up and wiped her eyes as she went into the bathroom. I muttered curse words at myself, for putting Lauren in this situation.

Amy, my oldest cousin shook her head.

I heard the toilet flush and the running of sink water. A few seconds later Lauren walked out the bathroom and out the door.

'She can't keep running away from me like this.' I sat up in the bed as quickly as I could. And I pulled the IV out of my arm.

My mom stood up. "Paul Christian Kruger-""Mom, right now is not the time". I just wanted Lauren to not be mad at me anymore.

I left the room and saw Lauren walking down the hallway to the elevator. "Lauren! Wait!". She pressed the button for the elevator.

I caught up to her before the door opened. "What?" she snapped, angrily.

'Just a few seconds ago she was stuck to my hip and now she didn't want to be near me. Pregnant women..'.

"I just want to talk to you". She shook her head. "You don't even...ugh just forget it".

My Pov

He really didn't understand how I felt right now. The elevator door opened but he grabbed my hand."You can't avoid me forever". I turned away.

"Yes I can". "Lauren, please". I shook my head no. "You could've died! How am I supposed to live, knowing that I can never see your face?".

"You can always Google me" he joked. I snapped.

"You really think this is fucking funny?!". A nurse came up to us. "Ma'am, I going to ask you to please leave".

I glared at Paul before I pressed the button and the door opened. I got onto the elevator and pressed the first floor.

Paul's face was the last thing I saw before the doors closed. I walked out of the hospital and saw Ray L.

"Hey Lauren, how's Paul?". "He's stupid" I said walking to the car. Of course the paparazzi swarmed around me taking pictures and asking questions.

I climbed into my Infinite, started my engine and pulled out. I drove to Lexington Market and got me some Cream of Crab soup.

I felt a little bad for yelling at Paul. I know he wanted to make a small joke but this is a serious situation.

When I got home I chilled on the couch.

Paul was suppose to be home tomorrow, but I wasn't going to apologize for my actions. Cain laid at my feet as I ate my food. I could hear the crunching of dog food as Diesel ate in the other room.

I saw the video of me storming out the hospital on E! and I quickly changed the channel.

The doctor found a vein in my arm, and re-inserted the needle. My mom just sighed in disappointment. Ray Lewis, Corey Graham and Art Jones walked into the room.

My mother hugged them as they walked past. Then she left outside with my dad. All of my family had left now that they knew I was going to be alright.

"Hey" I greeted. "Hey man, how are you feeling?" Art asked, walking up to me. "Pretty good now" I lied. "I already talked to John. I told him I'll be at practice on Wednesday and I'll be able to make the game on Sunday if the doctor gives me the okay" I explained.

Ray sat in the chair next to the bed, with a serious look on his face. "I'm guessing you already talked to Lauren?" I stated. He nodded.

"I saw her on the way out, and asked her how you were doing. And she said stupid". We both chuckled a bit. Men know how to make 'light' of a situation, women not so much.

His face turned back to serious.

"But you better have a damn good apology for making my cousin go through this".
