"Daniel, you know that's not how I feel. That's not what I meant!"

"Sure feels like it." He said under his breath.

I wasn't sure how to fix his thoughts. I just looked at the side of his face from my view on the hospital bed which I really didn't want to be in. I wanted to run over there and take his hands in mine and kiss him. To tell him everything is going to be okay. But it wasn't. And if I didn't believe that, neither would  Daniel. 

Jonah looked at me awkwardly as I stared at Daniel. 

"Okay!"  Corbyn said clapping his hands.

"Its really late so the boys and I are going home and we will be back tomorrow morning. Try not to kill each other."

I looked at Corbyn and gave him the death glare.

"Jonah, can you draw the curtain please?" I asked. He walks over and pulls in so he and I are not in sight. Then he leans over to my ear and whispers something.

"Text me if you need me beautiful," he said with a wink. I could feel his breath blowing in my ear as he spoke sending chills down my back.

"Bye Leah," they all said.

"Bye Daniel."

At the same time, Daniel and I spoke.

"Bye."

That night all I wanted to do was crawl in that stupid, uncomfortable hospital bed with Dani and hug him tight and never let him go. But the truth was, I wanted to do the same thing with Jonah, only in a real bed.

"Hey Dani, are you awake?" I ask in a whisper.

"Now I am," he sighed.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot," was all he replied back.

"Do you love me?"

There was a moment of silence in the room. The clock wasn't ticking, the floor seemed to be swallowing me up until he spoke.

"Yes." 

I smiled at his response.

"But you love Jonah too. And I can finally see that Leah. I'm not blind."

My smile disappeared quick. I knew it. He did love me but I love Jonah. And to drag both of them along, made me realize that I cant keep doing this. 

All of sudden my phone rings and I grab it from the side table. A text message pops up on my phone screen. 

Jonah: Hey beautiful, before I left I asked the doctor when you can be released and she said tomorrow morning! 

Leah: That's great!

Jonah: In honor of the good news, I'm taking you to la.

Leah: Los Angeles? 

Jonah: Yea;) I wanted to do something nice for you. You deserve it more than anyone. I also have something to tell you in the morning.

Leah: Okay:)) I can't wait!

Jonah: Yea it should be fun

Jonah: Goodnight beautiful

Leah: Night

Should? Should this trip be fun? What does that mean? 

I decided to put it in the back of my mind and fall asleep with the little clock in the center of the room ticking, and ticking and ticking...

She loves Jonah. Not me. And sees going to hate me when I tell her all of us are moving to Los Angeles...
