New Scars

Chapter 3

Avri 

He was asleep when I woke up. His shoulders slumped and his mouth parted as his chest rise and fell silently. I stared at his eyes as they moved under their lids and at his lips as they twitched as he dreamed.

I shifted and grasped when the IV tube pulled at the inside of my elbow. Nolan shot up and his hands fluttered over me, trying to find the source of pain.

"Nolan," he didn't answer, "Nolan." This time he looked up at me through his long lashes. "I'm okay. It was just the IV tube." He sighed and pulled his chair to the edge of my bed, not letting go of my hand.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have fallen asleep." I rolled my eyes and pointed to the T.V.

"Wanna watch a movie? They brought me some." He nodded and went to look at the selection just below the T.V.

"Trans-" I cut him off.

"No." He laughed and sorted through the rest.

"Oh! What about Fast and the Furious?" I furrowed my brow and though do a minute.

"Never seen it." His jaw dropped.

"Wh-wha-what? Well then this is what we're watching." He smiled as he pushed the disk into the side of the T.V. and the previews started rolling. 

I scooted over and patted the spot in the bed beside me.

"Wow, someone's warmed up." Rolling my eyes I turned my head. "I know, I know. I'm just a likeable person!" I laughed. Really laughed. Not the fake smile I had been using for years. And by the look in his eyes, this was what he had been aiming for the whole time. He even looked like he might cry.

"Wow, someone's worn down." He laughed and sniffed, shifting to face the movie.

"Some people do that to me." I looked at him.

"Like who?" He looked at the screen then back at me, a redness creeping is his neck and cheeks.

"Well so far only one person." I smiled and stared at him.

"Why?" He scratched and the redness spread, causing me to smirk.

"I like her. A lot." He said, simply which suprised me. I stared at him for a little while longer then started to watch the movie.

When the movie ended he was asleep again. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. A minute later his arms wrapped around me, mindlessly, and he pulled me close to his chest. I snuggled close to his resting my arm on his chest, feeling his heart thud against his ribs.

I tried to sleep but I liked to look at him while he slept. I liked to look at the way his hair fell over his forehead, or the way his forehead would wrinkle every few minutes, or the way his lashes curled and left choppy shadows under his eyes on the dark circles under his closed eyes, or at the freckles that lined his cheeks, or the dip of his upper lip, or at the curve of his chin, or at the sharpness of his jaw.

After a while, he took a deep breath and his eyes fluttered open, his chocolate eyes looking over at mine. I smiled at his and whispered.

"Hi," he smiled and reached up and pushed a lock of my bland blonde hair behind my ear, resting his hand on my think cheek.

"Hey," his breath tickled my cheeks and neck, causing me to shiver. He scrunched his eyebrow together and pulled me closer. I buried my face in his neck, inhaling his scent of Irish Spring and an unknown scent that I liked. 

Before I shut my eyes, I tilted my head up and kissed his neck.

"Thank you," I mumbled. 

I felt his soft lips press against my forehead and his soft whisper before my dreams took over.

"It's you."
