Chapter 46

I wake up- or should I say my ears opened because my eyes refused to wake up- to the sound of Jc's voice.

It was reassuring that he hadn't left me but his voice was cracking and low.

I couldn't make out what he was saying but all I heard was 'Tori'

The surface I am lying on is, I'm almost positive, not his car.

Finally my eyes give in an crack open, I'm in a hospital room?

In my arm was an IV and I was swarming with balloons beside my bed. They all read the usual/typical 'Get Well Soon!' but they still made me smile.

"Tori! Oh my god!" Jc catches my eyes open and rushes to my side and gives me a bone crushing hug.

He kisses my forehead and nose and chin before he sits down next to my knee on the bed, "Oh my god I thought I'd never see your beautiful hazel eyes open again."

I crack a smile, "Jc, I-" my voice cracks and I stop speaking.

He smiles even wider, which I didn't think was physically possible.

"I've missed your voice even more."

I blush and smile.

"How long have I been asleep?" I ask him.

"24 hours, you lost some blood but not enough that you'd need a transfusion. But just enough to have to stay here for another night, you also have a minor concussion."

That explains my killer headache.

"Lovely." I groan.

Jc is still smiling at me like he won the grand prize.

Then his face falls a little, "What happened with that guy... It didn't seem too good. After you fell asleep I threatened to punch the shit out of him if he ever touched you again. He scrambled away pretty quickly." Jc smirks at himself.

I tell him the whole story starting with Connor at the bar and ending at him finding me.

"You... this is all my fault." he drops his head in his hands.

I use all my strength to reach my hand over to him and pull his hands away, "All that matters is that you're here now, you can explain yourself when I'm out of here. But for now I just want us to be ok."

Jc smiles a little, I pat beside me and he walks around the other side and climbs into the small bed with me.

I rest my head on his chest and I feel complete relaxation fall over me, I can hear his heart beat steady and his deep breathing.

He strokes my greasy hair but for once I don't mind him seeing my flaws.

"Jc."

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

His heart quickens and his breathing stops, then it all goes back to normal when he says "I love you too."

He loves me. 'Jc Caylen loves me' was the last thing I thought before I fell into the most relaxing sleep I've had in months.
