California Dream

Chapter 26

*Annie's PV*

"Annie!" I hear Erin squeal as she walks through the door.

"Hey!" I say back as I give her a hug.

"How are you feeling?" Ashley asks.

"My head kinda aches other than that though I'm so drugged on pain meds I can't even feel my arm."

"Wells that's fun," Ashley laughs.

"Oh yeah just bunches," I say sarcastically.

"The nurse said that they're gonna move you out of the ICU later on," Kian tells me.

"Sounds good. Why don't you all go down to the cafeteria for a bit I want to talk to Erin," I say.

They all agree and leave.

"What'd you want to talk to me about?" Erin asks once everyone leaves.

"How was everyone while I was out?"

"Well Ashley and Connor got back together."

"Yeah Kian told me about that," I say.

"Me and Jc are pretty much the same and so is Ricky."

"What about Kian?" I question.

"This entire thing was really hard on Kian. He kept blaming himself over and over. The first night we we're here Kian left in the morning and said he'd be back. We had no idea where he went and he was gone for like 4 hours. When he got back we asked him where he went and he said he went to go have a talk with Travis."

"Did he tell you what they talked about?"

"Well it's obvious they talked about you but he never spoke a word of what happened."

"That's strange," I say.

"Yeah it was. He really likes you, you know?"

"Yeah," I say blushing a little.

"He's a really sweet guy. I've gotten to talk to him a lot this week and whenever he talks about you, it's like he's talking about an angle. It's crazy."

"Really?" Butterflies start to flutter around in my stomach.

"Yup. He almost never left your side either," she tells me.

All I can do at that moment is just smile.

"Hey do you mind getting the nurse for me?" I ask Erin.

"Yeah I'll go get her."

Erin returns with a different nurse than the one I had seen this morning when I woke up.

"Hi Annie nice to see you're awake," she says.

"You can go down and find Ashley and the guys if you want," I tell Erin.

"Alright if you need me text me."

"Okie dokie," Erin leaves and the nurse takes over.

"What can I help you with sweetie?" She asks me.

"How long exactly do I have to stay in the hospital now that I'm no longer in a coma?"

"At least a week." she informs me.

"I have to spend a whole other week here?" I question.

"Sorry sweetie we just want your skull to heal more before we send you home."

"It's fine I understand. It's just this place is going to drive me insane."

"I know but at least you have your friends here with you. And that Kian boy sure seems to have a thing for you. He almost never leaves your side." she says giving me a smile.

"Yeah that's what I've heard."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Yeah what time am I being moved?" I ask.

"Probably in about an hour."

"Ok thanks."

"If you need anything else just call for me."

"Ok," I say and she leaves the room.

I pick up my phone and decide to call Erin since it's a bit lonely up here.

She picks up.

"What's up?"

"You guys can come back up whenever. I'm being moved in about an hour," I tell her.

"Ok we'll be up in a few minutes."

"Ok bye," I hang up my phone and lay back in the bed.

I start to think about Kian. He must really like me to put up with this hospital for an entire week. I'm going insane just sitting here not being allowed to get out of bed.

Then I think of the kiss. The kiss from earlier this morning was flawless. Never and I mean never had I experienced such a kiss. It was so effortless but yet so beautiful. I'm torn from my thoughts when I hear laughing come into the ICU, it's Connor and Ashley's laughs.

"Hola chica," Ricky says as he walks in the room.

"Hola rickya," I say back to him with a laugh.

He laughs too, "that's some nice Spanish you get there."

"Thanks," I say with another laugh.

Kian comes and sits down on the bed next to me and I scoot over making room for him.

Everyone carries on their own conversations while I sit with Kian. I lay my head on his shoulder and he wraps his arm around me pulling me closer.

"Thanks for putting up with this place and staying here with me while I was in a coma," I say to him.

"Hey it's no big deal. I'd do anything for you," he says kissing me lightly on my forehead being sure not to hurt it.

I snuggle into his arms and close my eyes being thankful I'm finally awake and I can spend time with Kian.
