"Ricky Garcia? In what room lays Ricky Garcia?" Chloe asked, her cheeks already strained with tears. She looked at her side while the woman at the desk typed in his name, and she already spotted Ricky's mother, Tammy. "Chloe, my dear" Tammy said, opening her arms, and she had been crying as well. Not bothering to wait until the woman at the desk helped her, Chloe ran up towards Ricky's mother and gave her a hug. "W-what happened?" Chloe babbled, "is he okay? C- can I see him? Does he want to see me?" She asked, and a weak smile formed on Tammy's face, her eyes swollen because she had been crying. "The doctors said that he has had luck, and yes you can see him, I suppose..." Tammy said, taking the blonde by her arm softly and guiding her towards the right room. "I don't know what happened between you two, but it means a lot to me that you're here..." She said, letting go of Chloe. 

"Thank you" Chloe whispered, and with that she opened the door of room 78B, the room Ricky's staying at. She opened the door carefully, trying her hardest to make no noise, and she closed the door carefully behind her, walking towards him on her tiptoes. His eyes were closed, but he was awake, and when Ricky opened one eye to look who was here, a weird feeling popped up in his head. Chloe's back was facing him while she closed the door, and Ricky didn't move. He heard how hard she tried to walk to him in silence, but he couldn't help but say something. "You would be a great burglar, Lukasiak" he murmured, "sneaking around in rooms and stuff..." 

Chloe stared at him and walked up to him, sitting down on the edge of the bed, "luckily you still have your sense of humor" she said, grabbing his hand, but he shrugged her hand off of his'. "What happened?" She asked, her eyes watering by the state of him. Machines were attached to him, and he had a black eye, bruised jaw, swollen lip... It was awful to look at. "Do you even care?" Ricky spat, and he tried his best to avoid eye-contact. "Ricky don't do this" Chloe sobbed, "I was worried sick about you when your mother called me," she cried, "I was afraid that I lost you. I contravened every single speed limit and traffic rule to be here as fast as I could" she said, "I thought I would never be able to tell you how much you actually mean to me. Ricky I know it broke your heart when you woke up, and I left. But I was just scared," she babbled, "I didn't know what to do, what to tell you. You were the first guy I've ever slept with besides Josh, and I was so scared to develop feelings for someone new..." she rattled, 

"and finally, I was being happy again. Finally I started to feel loved and all... And I thought that it was because of the revenge on Josh..." she said, "but it's not." she said, shaking her head. Ricky stared at her, his green eyes eyeing her up and down, and he listened to every word she said to him. "It's you" she whispered, looking into his eyes. "It's you who makes me happy" she sobbed, standing up from the bed. "And I totally understand that you hate me, and that you don't want to see me. Because I've been a total bitch to you and you didn't deserve this. But I was just scared to tell you..." She sobbed, "so scared to tell you that..." She said, catching her breath again.         ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"To tell me what, Chloe?" Ricky asked. She closed her eyes for a brief moment and put her hand on top of his', but now he let her.         ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"To tell you I love you" She whispered.
