After about 20 minutes I look up and see that Matt is fast asleep. The color is slowly coming back into his face, and he is beginning to look like the guy at the park again.
I watch him sleep for a small while. He looks so gorgeous and innocent laying in the hospital bed.
Since I'm laying in the bed with him, I put my head down on the pillow next to his and fall asleep, wondering where this boy's family is.
After what feels like just a few minutes I feel Matt start to stir next to me and I wake up, and when I look up at him he smiles down at me and informs me that the doctor said he could go home today.
"Matt, if you don't mind me asking, where are your parents?"
"They both died when I was very little. My aunt took care of me up until last year when she died as well. Since I was 18 at the time, I got to inherit all of my parents' estate, including their money. That's what pays for all of my medical bills. They had been saving up for a long time so that when they did die I would have something to fall back on. They never got to find out about my illness. I have a serious nervous system disease. It cause all of the electrical parts in my body to randomly quit working, including my heart. I have had two heart attacks since I started having the symptoms of this disease, and I keep getting worse. They tell me I only have about two years left."
I look at him, shocked. This poor boy has been through so much and now he has nobody around to help him through this. I can't help but feel drawn to him, because I know that he truly needs someone to be there for him, and for some reason I want to be that person. So, I sit up and pull him into a tight embrace. An embrace that says, "I'm here for you no matter what. Don't be scared."
He hugs me back and by the end of it his heart machine is going berserk, telling me that he enjoyed the embrace just as much as I did. When I look at his face I see a blush creeping onto his cheeks, telling me he is embarrassed by the sound of the quick beeping of the heart monitor.
I reach up and caress my hand across his blushing cheeks, feeling the warmth of them under my palm. Slowly but surely I lean in and plant a small, but sweet kiss on his fragile lips.
I'm sure that if I had a heart monitor right now it we be beeping twice as fast as his.
