Scarred

Chapter 37

Sarah POV-

I woke up, feeling so much better. My body didn't ache anymore, and my headache went away. I smiled, and looked over to see Ross's fingers interlocked with mine. He was asleep at my side.

I stroked his messy bed head as I reached over to my phone. It was 3 a.m. How long has Ross been in here?

I went on Twitter, Instagram, Wanelo, every social media you could name. I read some hurtful comments while I looked at the picture Ross took of me, again.

"Why would you date her?"

"Ew why are you even seeing her?"

"Can you not take pictures of her?"

I just read those comments with a laugh. Rydel told me to just laugh them off. So I did.

I was still playing with Ross's hair when I heard him stir. I leaned over and kissed his jaw. "Good morning handsome." I complimented, looking at his bed head when he sat up.

He rubbed his eyes. "Good morning beautiful." He said, then leaned in to kiss my lips. "What time is it?" He asked. "Three a.m." I said. He shrugged. "What do u want to do?" He asked. "Text riker and see where he is." I answered. He nodded his head. "He's been gone for a while. Maybe he went home and found Ashley!" He said. "Okay." I simply said. I didn't know what else to say.

I yawned as I kept scrolling through my social media feed. "Get some rest." Ross said as he caressed my cheek. I shook my head. "I can't go to sleep when I have a million questions going through my head." I said. He nodded, and played with his thumbs. "I wrote you something." He eventually said. I looked at him with a questioning look. "How did you have time to do that?" I asked. "When u were asleep." He said with a smirk. I giggled, then he got up and walked out of the room, returning with a guitar in his hand.

"Where did u get that?!" I asked with surprise as I saw the instrument in his hand. "I kept it in here just in case I got bored." He said. I rolled my eyes.

He started by tuning his guitar, then soon positioned his fingers and began to strum. The lyrics described my personality, my perfection, my laugh, my smile, everything.

He finished with a long strum, and my eyes were filled with tears. "I didn't joe you like that about my imperfections." I said, wiping away a tear. "Your imperfections, are my perfections." He said as he placed his guitar next to him. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and shoved his lips to mine. I kissed him passionately, then pulled back and leaned my forbead against his. "You're my everything." I whispered. He nodded his head. "I love you." He said. "I love you too." I said, then kissed him quickly.

I took out my phone again and texted riker. "Give me a call when you get a chance. Tell me if you found Ashley ASAP!" I texted.

"Did u text riker?" Ross asked. "Ya.. I just- Want to make sure everything is ok." I said with a fake smile. He smiled and grabbed my hand. "I'm sure everything is ok." He assured me.

After a few silent moments, I looked at him. "What?" He asked as he stared back. "Can I ask you soemthing?" I asked. "Anything." He said. "Can you sing it again?" I asked. He smirked, picked up the guitar, and I saw his fingers dance along the strings.

I may be in a hospital bed, but this is as perfect as it can get.
