Mel's POV
It has been three days since I woke up and I was still at hospital. The doctor kept running tests on me to find out why I keep having panic attacks. Shawn came to visit me even tough I missed his concert. We became good friends. He gave me his number so even when he is not here we're in touch.

I just woke up and I'm watching some cartoons. Someone knocks on the door.
"Come on in!" I say.
"Hey there." someone says I turn my head and see Shawn peaking his head through the door.
"Shawn! I tought you were leaving today what are you doing here?!" I said happy but confused.
"I can leave if you want." he says sarcastically.
"You know I didn't mean that. I was just surprised."
"I know, I know. I just like messing with you."
"Okay stop messing around and tell me whatcha doin' here." I say still smiling.
"Well I decided to take a break from all that stress I had when I am touring and focus on my life sooo.."
"Soo I guess you are around for a while.."
"I guess so why?"
"Well I get out of the hospital today and we can spend time together, you know.."
We stay quiet for a while.
"You know....I....I love spending time with you." I said looking right into his eyes.
"I...I love you too...I mean spending time with you..yeah..ugh" Shawn said.

There was a silence in the room after what he said. It was an awkward one. I have to admit I love being around him. I feel happy. I feel safe.

Just when those thoughts were crossing my mind the door opened and we both turned out heads that way. It was my mom with the doctor beside her. Okay this was getting more awkward by seconds because they walked in and just stood there saying nothing looking at the both of us.

I looked at my mom for a second and realized her eyes were all red and puffy. She cried? But why?

"Okay honey how are you feeling?" Isabelle, my doctor asked.
"I feel good actually well besides the ache I have on my chest." I replied and just then my mom started crying again. Okay what the hell is going on?

"What's going on?" I asked curiously.
"So I have two good and one bad news." said Isabelle.
"Okay, I'm listening.." I said.
"The good one is, you can leave the hospital today but the bad one is...your heart...it's too weak for you..."
"Wha...what do you mean?"
"Because of all your stress and anxiety and the phobias you have like claustrophobia your heart is too weak and if you have another pannic attack it might break down....and...we might lose you..."

No. No this can't be happening. But why? I was doing just fine. I mean I didn't even have claustrophobia till three years ago. I got it when my dad left us.

"Is...is there any treatment? She'll be alright, yeah?" asked Shawn with a confused but sad face. Even he didn't expect this.

"There is actually and that is one of the good news. First of all you need to be away from stress, anger and fear. You have to surround yourself with people you feel happy and safe around. Your heart really needs to rest Mel. We can't risk you." said Isabelle with a simple look on her face.

I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. I just stand there looking between my mom Shawn and Isabelle. Isabelle leaves after checking the monitors out. My mum left to get herself back together and now it was just Shawn and me and there was silence again. But not awkward this time. I didn't know what to say and neither did he. We just sat there. Looking at each other.

He looks me right in to the eyes and that's when I break down. Tears start slipping down my cheeks.

"Heyy..Mel look at me..shhh.." said Shawn and cupped my cheeks with his hands rubbing his thumbs on them.
"I don't g-get it. I j-j-just dont get it." I cry out.
"I know but you have to calm down this isn't good for you. You have to stay strong for me, for your heart. Come on breathe." he said but I just couldn't. I couldn't just stop. He hugged me and I buried my head on the crook of his neck and cried there for what felt like hours and he just held me as close as possible. I relaxed a bit after I cried and I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. Finally I close them. The smell I have on my nose relaxes me.

"Are you okay now?" asked Shawn.
I didn't answer cause I was about to sleep.He slowly took my head from his chest and placed it on the pillow. He placed a warm kiss on my forehead and that's what I remember before I drift to sleep.

Shawn's POV
I placed a small kiss on her forehead. I was about to stand up and leave but that's when she said something.
"Don't leave. Please stay." she nearly whispered.
"Please" she begged and I couldn't just leave her there. I held her hand and just waited there watched as her little weak heart beats. I admired her face she was adorable. She had the smallest nose in the whole entire world. The most softest lips. Her hair was the perfect tone of brown. Her eyes were just mesmerizing. Every time I looked into her eyes I get lost in them. It's like a forest.
I didn't realize how tired I was until my eyes couldn't stay open anymore so I closed them, still holding her hand and drifted to sleep.
