Chapter 7- taking away my oxygen

"No witnesses."

"What about the cameras? Do they have any thing?"

"Nope."

"This girl could've been killed!"

What does he mean Killed?!

"The driver is in the room next door. He has cuts on his face and arms from the glass and has bruising to the left side of his face." I hear a female voice say, probably the doctor or nurse.

Wait a second, why the hell can I not open my eyes? Oh my gosh, am I in a coma?

"The girl is lucky. She must have a guardian angel watching over her."

"Yep, very lucky. I do hope she wakes soon though."

All of a sudden, there is banging and running footsteps coming from a couple rooms down.

"WHERE IS SHE?" A familiar voice yells. "Where the hell is my girlfriend?"

"Please sir, calm down."

"Don't you tell me to calm down woman. Where is she?"

"She's right in here."

The footsteps are quieter now, and the voice has gone silent. I can feel a presence, right by the hospital bed.

"Oh Katherin, you're so dramatic." He says with a laugh. "M'lady always knows how to make a scene."

I want to smile, reach up and give him a hug, but no matter how much I try, my body refuses. He starts to play with my hair and moves it away from the center of my face. He tilts my chin up slightly and I feel his warm breath against my lips. His lips connect with mine and in that moment, I emotionally melt inside...because it's physically impossible right now....

Grayson Thomas just kissed me.

GRAYSON'S P.O.V -

I ended the call with Katie and went to the oven to check on the dinner I made for the two of us. I had bought some drinks and made some pasta and ordered a pizza. I rented her favourite Disney movie, 'Alice In Wonderland' and relaxed on the sofa. Well, I relaxed until the phone rang, not many people called the home phone.

"Hello, Matthews residents, who are you calling for?" I ask, trying to sound polite. I've never done this before.

"Hello, is Mrs Matthews there please?"

"Who is this?"

"This is Doctor Penny Kingsley and I would like to inform her that her child is in the hospital. If you could pass on the message to make her way to the hospital immediately, I would appreciate it."

Her child is in the hospital? As far as I'm concerned Emma only has one child and that's Katie....Is Katie in trouble?!

"Er...Um excuse me?"

"Yes?"

"Is the child Katherin Matthews?" I ask trying to sound normal.

"Yes it is, who am I speaking to?"

Ugh make up some sort of lie...you can't visit if you're just a friend Grayson...

"I'm her boyfriend. Her boyfriend, Grayson Thomas."

"Ah okay, well do you want the details of how to get here?" She asks.

Doctor Kingsley tells me the address and directions of how to get to Katie. I throw my shoes and coat on, grab my keys on the way out and run to the hospital.

When I get there, there are people rushing about and alarms going off in all different areas of the hospital. I make my way to room 32F, I see a nurse and she asks me where I'm going and if I need any help. I loose all control I had before and start crying, I can't loose Katie.

"Where is she?" I yell and the woman just looks back at me shocked. "Where is my girlfriend?!"

The nurse directs me into the room Katie is in and all I can see is my best friend lying there asleep on the uncomfortable looking bed. I'm thinking of ways to lighten the mood so, I go with a playful approach,

"Oh Katherin you're so dramatic," I nervously laugh. "M'lady always knows how to make a scene."

I spot a chair in the corner of the room and place it by her bed. Noticing a few hairs in front of her eyes and mouth, I decide to move them away and place them behind her ears. She looked so beautiful and so peaceful. She was still breathing, which is always a good thing.

"Please wake up Katie." I whisper by her ear. I realise how close my face is to hers and so I slowly reach down towards her and place my lips on hers. It was only small but I wish she was awake so I could do it again. I don't want her to go.

KATIE'S P.O.V-

I hear Grayson walk away with a few doctors and they close the door behind them. I'm alone.

I try to remember what had happened earlier, but it only gives me a headache. I can't take my thoughts away from the kiss that had happened only a minute before. If only I was awake.... I would have to talk to him about the whole 'girlfriend' thing though. Hmm, imagine being Grayson's girlfriend...would be nice.

All of a sudden, it gets hard to breath...

I hear loud beeping noises in the background of large panics....

I feel someone hold my hand and squeeze tightly....

"DON'T LET GO KATIE!" He yells.....

Oh how good he is at taking away my oxygen......

But then, I fall asleep.....
