Infatuation

Ch 43

"Some people are here to see you but they only come in one at a time for now ok London?" The nurse says by the door.

I nod my head as much as I can to tell her yes.

It's been a few hours since the nurse kicked everyone out, it should be pretty late now.

My eyes are now slightly open and I can move my mouth more than before. My body is still sore and my head hurts.

        The first one to come in is my brother, Lucas.

        He told me that mom, dad, and Harley are hoping on a plane now to come and see me. He told me he's sorry for yelling at me and that this was all his fault. I assured him it wasn't, but he disagreed.

      "I love you L." He says quietly.

   "Love you too." I slightly smile and he walks out the door.

    The next one is Leah. She starts freaking out and crying, making the situation worse. I told her I'll be alright and tears filled her eyes.

     "I'm so sorry London." She says and puts her hand on mine.

   Wait, the hand. She's the one that put her hand on mine as I was waking up. It was the same smooth touch. I smile at her and she smiles back before walking out the door.

        Bryant comes in next and sits down in the chair next to the hospital bed and sighs.

       "I wish I ran after you. I wish I didn't give up on chasing you like I always did." He swallows and looks down.

       "I-it's not your... fault." I manage to say.

     "London of course it is I could have stopped you, protected you, I could have stopped all of this from happening." He says but I don't know if he's just talking about the accident.

       "Where's Mason?" I ask.

   He takes a deep breath before saying anything.

    "He's not here London." He finally looks up at me.

    "What... do you mean?"

     "I called him and he said he would be here but never showed." He clenches his jaw.

    "What time is it?" I say changing the subject. Why would Mason not show up? Did something happen to him?

      "9:27" Bryant looks at his watch.

   "Why aren't you home like everyone else?" I turn my head as much as I could.

     "I'm not leaving you." He looks at me.

     "Bryant have you been here all day?!" I whisper loudly.

   He looks away and says nothing.

    I take a deep breath before I try and move my body in a sitting position.

    "London what are you doing!" Bryant stands up from the chair and puts his hands gently on me and setting me back down.

    "I can't take this I don't want to lay down anymore I can't do anything! I feel useless!" I say.

      "Your not useless!" Bryant whispers loudly standing over my body. "Your everything I ever wanted." He swallows.

     My heart beats fast by his words.

     He leans down but I stop him.

  "Are you about to kiss me? I ask.

    "Yeah." He nods his head.

    I lift my arms up slowly to put my hand on his cheeks and he grabs my wrists gently to help me. He puts his hands on both sides of the bed with my body in between and presses his lips against mine. He kisses me over and over and I kiss him back. It feels wrong because Mason is my boyfriend, but it also feels so right. Bryant breaks our kiss and looks in my eyes.

     "I might have been drunk but I wasn't lying when I said I was Infatuated with you."
