its how it goes,
and where it ends".

Mason's POV

Everybody's worried, Malia hasn't woken up from her coma and its getting close to a month now.

I was beginning to hate hospitals. Each time I was in here was for her and it's always my fault she ends up here.

Now Malia is in there fighting yet another battle, It's hard for me to see her like that.

I'm currently standing at the door, finding it hard to go in there because it hurts me so much to see her lying still.

Taking a huge sigh, I finally found the courage to open the door and go in.

Keith stood by her bed side, checking the monitor and other stuffs. He turned to face me as soon as I closed the door.

His face turned into a sad expression, I was certain it was because of the way I looked. I haven't shaved or had any proper sleep.

"You look crazy man, rest is what you need" Keith spoke and patted my shoulder before adding, "She's a fighter man, don't worry, everything will be fine" And he left.

I just hope so. Yes Malia is a fighter, a beautiful one at that.

Walking closer to the bed, I sat on the chair that was placed there. Took my angel's pale hands and placed it in my left palm, then used the right to cover it up and squeeze it a little.

The sound of the monitor beeping was loud in my ears as I took my right hand and used them to move a strand of hair from her face.

Her body was cold.

"Hey, I miss you so much" I then placed my hands on her cheek then stroked them.

"Everyone is sad Malia, not only because of the death of your mom and aunt but also the fact that they don't want to lose you too, your dad hasn't been himself , the girls are sad they come here everyday to see you, Ben's leg is better at least that's what he says. He misses you and so does Charlotte but I miss you more"

I sighed.

"You have to wake up, I need to spend more time with you by showing and telling you how much you mean to me, how much I love you.

I chuckled "I have said this once again while you're lying on a hospital bed. I want to tell you while you're awake. Look directly into those beautiful brown eyes of yours and tell you, then kiss you like never before."

I continued while stroking her cheeks, her soft cheeks.

"Cuddle you, cause I know how much you love those, watch you smile, call me a jerk, watch you blush anytime you see my bare chest. This feeling was like nothing I had felt, and I want you to know that I have finally found what I have been secretly looking for. And that's you Malia, you are everything to me."

I took her hands and kissed them, stood up slowly and kissed her forehead.

My phone rang, the caller ID showcased it was my mom.

Already knew the reason for the call, so I ignored it and sent a text when it stopped ringing.

"I'm fine mom, on my way home to freshen up already. You need not bother about me"

I dropped the phone in my pocket, took one last glance at her and turned to leave.

Something stopped me in my tracks, I couldn't be sure it was her voice. It could be my mind playing tricks but once the voice spoke again, then it dawned on me it wasn't a mind trick.

"Going somewhere?" Her voice sounded croaked, immediately I turned and faced her, she had removed the oxygen mask from her face.

At that moment all I could do was stare at her but my heart was doing numerous flips.

"When you're done staring can you get me a glass of water?"

A smile stretched across my lips, I wasn't sure of what to do, wasn't sure to hug her, kiss her or call a doctor.

"Mason, water please" she croaked.

I quickly filled a glass of water by her bedside and gave her to drink.

She took everything in one gulp and asked for more, I kept saying this is a dream but it wasn't. She was there, drinking water and asking for more.

Before Malia placed the cup down, I attacked her lips pouring all my emotions to the kiss, at first she was shocked but slowly she melted into the kiss.

"You have no idea how much I have missed you, I love you Malia, so much. Don't you ever pull such a stunt again" after saying that, I claimed her lips again.

"I should go and get the doctor to check on you, I'll be back" then Malia stopped me before I could leave.

"Let's share this moment together first Mason. I NEED YOU"

I nodded, then laid on the bed next to her, my hand went behind her neck as she nestled her head closer to my shoulders, my other hand laid on top hers before squeezing them gently. With my chin on her head, I placed a kiss on her hair and heard her sigh then yawn. I looked to see her eyes closed and her mouth formed a smile.

I'm happy she's awake, finally I can take her on dates and never stop loving her, people may say we are just teenagers and don't know anything about love but I feel she's my soulmate and she feels the same too, I just know it.

No one completes me like she does.

"Mason" her voice came out soft.

"Yes Malia" I adjusted my head to be able to look at her face but her eyes were still closed.

"I love you too" she said it with both eyes opened.

Those brown eyes of hers that I looked into were filled with love, so I pecked her nose.

She looked so cute as she wiggled it about.

It caused a smile to form on my face then she rolled her eyes, how much I have missed her do that.

I Pulled her closer to me gently not wanting to cause her pain, she closed her eyes yet again and held on to me.

I could feel the love surrounding our entangled body.

"Mason I need you now more than ever, you know that right?"

"Of course I do" closing my eyes too.

The sleep that never came before, was definitely knocking my eyes out now. And it prevented me from telling her that I needed her too but I didn't want us to argue over who needed who more because I would still let her win.

So we slept in each others arms. Our Love was wrapped around our body as a blanket.
