Alex's P.O.V

I'm lost in Luke's eyes. It's like I'm not in the hospital bed anymore, I'm somewhere else.
"God, I'm sorry that I didn't show you that  I love you " the words still sound weird coming out of his mouth, but not in a bad way. It's like I want to record it and listen to it everyday. Luke sits down on my bed , taking hold of my hand. "Luke, it's fine. Just forget it."

I hear a knock on the door , Luke turns around and Ashton pops in." Just checking you're all wearing your pants" I roll my eyes at him , a small grin playing on his lips." Just come in" and with that he walks in with my friends and family. They all sit around me, smiles splattered on their faces. Most of them still have swollen eyes. For example Luke. His eyes are so red , but still so blue.

We talk for a while, by a while I mean two hours." So you could hear everything?" Asks Gwen , clutching on to Mike's hand." Yeah. I was going to ask you why you changed my room? William was great company, he was really nice." All eyes turn at Luke." He was talking a lot at night. I thought it would bother you. Sorry." His eyes suddenly change, turning sad." It's fine. Anyways I felt like a bad listener " everyone looks at me like I've said the dumbest thing ever. " I couldn't answer the man" it takes a minute to sink in , bringing everyone laughter.

I look around the room, my mom and dad hand in hand , Alyssa with Loui, Jane with Mo , Mike with Gwen, Calum with Dan, Ashton, Shawn , Juliet, Adam and kate spread around the room and Luke in front of me. I see the relief on their faces, the fatigue of no sleeping at night , the constant worry slowly fade. They actually all care about me. They actually love me. I have people that love me...

I feel tears build inside my eyes. I feel happy in this ironic situation.

The nurse walks in telling everyone it's time to leave. They all kiss me goodbye beside Luke .
"I don't mean this to come out wrong but aren't you leaving?" He's still sitting on my bed. A smile creeps up on his face , he raises my hand and presses a soft kiss on it." I'm not leaving. Well actually yes for 5 minutes"
"Luke ,but you're tired . Get some sleep and I'll see you tomorrow. I'm awake and fine. Ugly but fine." I plead. I really didn't want him to go. I hate hospitals but I didn't want him to stay here. He was already a tired mess. I don't want to be the reason of another sleepless night. He stands up from my bed " You look pretty like everyday and I'll be right back" kisses my head and leaves.

I'm in desperate need for a shower. I call the nurse and she helps me get ready. Since I have a cast on my leg,  she has to wrap it with a bag.
I take the shower slower than usual. My body is weak and cramped, also severely bruised. I have a few scratches on my face , but nothing serious, bruises on my waist , shoulder arm , legs. All on the right side is damaged ,the left is clean. That car most of really hit me hard. I step out of the shower and wear my own sleepwear, I leave the bathroom and lay in my bed, the nurse changed the sheets so they smell of detergent and flowers.

Luke walks in 10 minutes later carrying 2 bags filled to the top with things." Luke what's all this?" I ask while he places them at the foot of my bed. "You said you could listen. Remember my promise?" I blush. I didn't expect him to actually do it. He takes 2 tubs of cookie cream ice cream , laptop and lays down next to me.
He opens the laptop and goes through Netflix.
"Luke ,  no Netflix" he turns around , a loom of surprise on his eyes." Why?" I roll my eyes .         " Last time we watched Netflix we ended up chilling. I don't think we can 'Netflix and Chill' here." He laughs , I smile. "I can keep my hands to myself" I laugh and peck his lips.

We chose 'The Fault In Our Stars' . "Are you sure you want this movie. I'll end up crying." He just smiles, his dimple sinking in. I kiss it." I miss you kissing my dimples and it's fine" . I lay my head on his shoulder and we happily watch the movie.
