Skylar's POV

I've been in the hospital for about two weeks now. Grayson comes everyday and we talk until visiting hours are over. He's so sweet and nice, I know exactly why I was falling for him before.

I just need to be careful and take precaution, I can't get hurt like the last time.

I glanced at my hand from the sudden memory. My wound is still on my hand from punching that wall. I'm going to have a nasty ass scare, reminding me of the incident.

I should soon be able to get out of this place but I'm still in a great deal of pain. I still have this gay ass neck brace on and it makes it very difficult to do everyday tasks.

I'm knocked out of my thoughts by someone grabbing my hand and bringing it up to their lips, laying a soft delicate kiss on my bruised knuckles.

"Good morning gumdrop... how did you sleep?"

He voice was so gentle and calming, god what is happening to me?

"Good morning Gray, better then I did for the past 2 weeks how about you?"

"I would sleep way better if I knew my princess was home with me..."

My gaze fell to my lap as the heat rose to my cheeks. What is happening? I never blush!

I looked back up to Gray and he had the most amused smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile, his was so contagious, it lights up the room.

"I'll be able to leave soon Gray..."

He rolled his eyes letting out a chuckle that made my smile ten times bigger.

"Um Gray... I have a question..."

I began to get nervous as I was afraid he might flip over my question.

"What's up baby girl?"

He furrowed his eyes brows in confusion and I brought my gaze to my hands in my lap.

"Where's Ethan at...?"

I saw him tense up and his jaw clench together as he looked mad and jealous.

"Why do you want to know Sky?"

"I was just wondering cause he hasn't come to visit or, I guess I should say, threaten me yet..."

I saw him soften up as his hazel eyes looked right through me.

"To be honest I don't really know... Hes been acting really weird lately and he's barely ever home. If he is he's usually in his room. He's been very distant of me."

I watched as Gray looked down with sorrow. I feel so bad for him cause I can see In his eyes how much Ethan means to him.

"Gray I'm so sorry I shouldn't have asked...".

"It's ok gumdrop... I'll be ok. Your the one I'm worried about." He raised his head, showing off his smile.

I rolled my eyes as he let out a chuckle.

" You know Gray, even tho I've been in a great deal of pain, you've made these last two weeks bearable...". A smile arose from my lips as I looked into his eyes.

His smile grew ten times bigger and his eyes twinkled, as if he has been waiting for those words to leave my mouth forever.

"I'm so glad gumdrop, you mean so much to me! I just want you to be happy!" His smile never left, not even for a second.

I watched as he stood up and brought his lips to my forehead, gently placing a kiss on my bruised skin.

We were interrupted by the doctor coming in, with her clipboard, checking over everything.

"How are you feeling today Skylar?" She looked up at me and smiled, showing off her beautiful teeth.

"Eh I'm doing ok... I would be better if I could at least take this neck brace off..." I smiled as she let out a chuckle from my amusement.

"Well that's actually what I came to talk to you about. We've looked over your scans and X-rays and it looks like your neck is almost healed. You can take your brace off but you have to be careful. The slightest whip could re-damage your neck." She gave me a stern look as her eyes moved from me to Grayson.

My eyes widen as I realized what she was saying. "Oh... no me and him aren't dating!" I stated as my cheeks turned a slight rosy color.

She was referring to having sex, and how much I want to, I'm not ready for that yet. I just don't trust him enough.

She walked over to me and helped me get my brace off. It felt so nice to actually be able to move my head and neck.

She left the room to go check on other patients. I looked at Gray and he had an amused smirk on his face.

"We're not dating huh...?" He chuckled as I slapped his shoulder.

"You know what she was referring to and last time I checked, we haven't been doing that."

He put his hand in mine, gentle caressing my knuckles. I looked at him and smiled, as he did the same in return.

"Are you happy princess?" His face became serious as he wanted an honest answer.

"For once, I actually am happy Gray... Why do you ask?" I furrowed my eye brows in confusion as to why he brought up something so random.

"I just want you to be happy Sky... that's all I want for you because your happiness makes me happy. I've never met a girl who has had such an affect on me, your like the light at the end of the tunnel, as cheesy as that sounds... Your like cat nip, I'm drawn to you..."

I let at a giggle to his reference of me being cat nip. His statement made me generally happy, as weird as it sounds, I was happy that Gray was here with me.

"I am happy Gray, I'm also happy your here with me... To be honest I probably wouldn't be able to go through this without you..."

"Well I'm glad you feel that way, cause I feel the same!" He put his hand on my cheek as his thumb caressed my skin ever so gently, like he was afraid to hurt me, making goosebumps go up my spine.

He slowly leaned in connecting his lips with mine. Our lips moved in sync, deepening the kiss.

It was so passionate, it was like his life depended on it and that he was never going to see me again. I smiled into the kiss, realizing how happy he makes me.

We pulled away and looked into each others eyes, for what seemed like, forever.

He smiled as he tried to look deeper into my eyes.

"God, look what your doing to me gumdrop...."
