Chapter 24
Something wakes me up.
"Please! Just let me in!"
"Sir! No visitors are permitted at this time!"
The voices are muffled but I can still make them out.
"I need to see her!"
A man barges through the door. I wipe the blur of sleep out of my eyes. It's Ben.
He runs up and kneels beside my bed, "hey," his words are so soft I can barely hear them. "How are you feeling?"
I ignore his question, I can't stop smiling. I have to hug him. I reach my arms out, every movement pains me, but I don't care once I feel his breath against my neck.
The aching over takes and a groan escapes from my lips. He releases his hold around me. I don't want him to let go.
"Are you ok? Who did this to you? Your arm-"
"Hey, hey, hey," I say, "I'm ok."
"No your not, this never should've happ-"
"Shhh," I lean in and kiss him. "Now, did you fly all the way over here from England? I mean that's incredible, you shouldn't
have done that."
"I only had a week left of my vacation and your mom called my mom and told me what happened, and...I needed to see you. One week without you was enough anyways." He pauses.
My eyes wander to the clock. 8 in the morning, he must've been flying all night.
"Who did this to you?" He finally says.
