Forever

Chapter Three

I had been in this hospital for only 3 days but day after day we spend each day together. She stayed by my side even though I was just some drunk from the streets. And my feelings of course grew over this sort period of time.

She was clearly a special person that deserved a lot more than this. I wanted to show her this more than anything, I mean don't underestimate me; I can be a total gentleman.

"Dan, I got you a tea."

Serena.

I felt like I was drowning in paradise just by hearing her name in my mind. That name.

The way it rolled off her perfectly displayed pouted lips.

Serena.

And the way she called me 'Daniel'; my heart blew into powerful fireworks without hesitation.

Like I said, she was really special.

"Here." I collect the round plastic cup from her curved fingertips.

"Thank you."

And then she grinned, a large dimpled grin that contagiously caused me to smile back.

Then, she peered away. Her cheeks lightly brushed with crimson.

I watched her delicately, my heart soft and dangerously rising high until her caramel iris' met mine. My heart felt like it self destructed itself with the impact a simple glance from her had on me.

She was just so...so...

And then something unexpected happened.

"Danny!"

"Serena, I didn't, I didn't mean to...Hey!"

And then she ran. She literally ran away, leaving the broken drunk in the hospital bed - his heart bleeding.

That's when I attempted to go after her, I searched everywhere for that brunette beauty that I would self givingly hand over my life to.

I went too far though. Must have looked like I was taking advantage, of course I would never do that to any girl especially not her but maybe I should just keep my distance. I'm hurting her, I know I am.

But I can't keep away, I can't. And I know I should, I know I should walk away for her sake. She probably doesn't want me anyway. She didn't really kiss me, it was an instinct. That's it, she doesn't like me. She never did.

I'm unlovable...

That's when I saw her. She was perched on the steps outside the hospital, the tears glistening down her crimson cheeks. I stepped further and when she spotted me, she held herself protectively with her arms covering her knees like a frightened child running from a hideous beast.

That's what I am aren't i?

A beast.

Admittedly my heart broke a little.

And I started to turn away but by my surprise she held on to me, her tiny fist clutching my leather sleeve.

"Don't leave me," Her eyes flounced with tears.

"Let's just...let's just be friends, please?"

"But Serena, I lov-"

"No." She almost squealed as the tears cloaked her throat, her fingers heart wrenchingly tugging at neck of my t-shirt. "Don't say it okay. Don't. You deserve so much better but I still want you in my life."

Admittedly i was rather upset, as though her feelings for me weren't true. And honestly I didn't want to be "just friends".

But I didn't ask why she didn't me as anything more or why she ran away when I placed my lips against hers.

Why she was in tears or why she couldn't tell me any of these things.

I just held her. I held her tighter than I've ever held anything before.

And I put fate in her.

I wasn't expecting it though. I wasn't expecting to just accept all of this. I always told myself that if a woman didn't give me 100% then I should just leave. I had enough of these girls using me because of my charm, warm heart or the fact that I had just joined a band. Though I didn't mind that she wasn't as open, that she wasn't giving me her all. It made no sense but I couldn't leave her. It just didn't feel right, in fact I wasn't even sure why but as long as she knew I loved her - that was fine.

As long as she was in my life, everything would forever be 'fine'.
