Chapter Ten

Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait! I've just been busy with school and upcoming final exams... Btw, it might take long again before I update cause I have my exams this week, so please bear with me! Thank you!




Here's chapter ten!










Chapter Ten




Kennady's POV







I slowly fluttered my eyes open, seeing white. Once they were fully open, I looked around. I recognized my surroundings to be a hospital room. What happened?




I tried to sit up, but the sharp pain that came from my head and stomach brought me back down on the bed. I was about to raise my right hand up to my head when I felt something lying on it. I slowly lifted my head up, looking down to see a big mess of dark brown hair.







Alex. What is he doing here?







I carefully slid my hand out from under his head, making him stir in his sleep. "Wha...."




"Sorry," I whispered, sheepishly.




Alex lifted his head off from the bed and scratched the sleep off his eyes. He stretched his arms above his head, arching his back. After he was done stretching, he opened his eyes, meeting mine. "Kennady? You-you're awake?" He stuttered, eyes widening in the process.




I smiled. "Yeah, how long have I been out?" My voice came out hoarse and raspy.




He shook his head, "Um, four days. How're you feeling?" Alex asked, warily.




I scrunched my face up. "Fine, if you don't include my throbbing head and aching pain from my stomach."




"I'll go let the doctors know you're awake. I'll be back." Alex stood up, making his way out.




"Wait!" I called out, painfully trying to sit up. Ouch, I shouldn't have done that. Alex scurried over, helping me. "Thanks."




"No problem."




"Alex," I motioned for him to take a seat next to me, before looking into his eyes. "I'm sorry." Tears built up in my eyes, threatening to fall.




"Hey, hey, don't cry. There's nothing to be sorry about... I should be the one apologizing." He wiped the tears off my cheeks with his thumb, softly. "Sshh...."




"B-but, what I did to you...."




"No, I understand everything. No need to explain. I know why you did it, now...." He then slipped an arm around me. I leaned my head against his hard, but comfortable chest, closing my eyes as tears poured out.




God, how I missed being in his arms like this! I wish we could stay like this forever.




"I'm really sorry!" I wrapped my arms around his torso, pulling him to me.




"I know... And I am, too."
