Jack Avery | Secret love

32.

Taylor's P.O.V

I finally found a clock in my room and saw that the time was 1am, Jack had finished his coffee and was still awake.

Why is he staying up so late? I don't get it.

A couple more minutes had passed and Jack's eyes slowly shut and his head slid softly down to rest on the chair but just as he did so, he jolted back up and opened his eyes again.

He looked at me with sad, tired eyes and placed his hand on mine, "I forgot to say goodnight" he whispered to himself looking at me.

This man.

He stood up off his recliner and planted a long soft kiss on my cheek. I wanted to turn my head and kiss him back so badly but my body was refusing to move. I let a single tear drop out of my eye as he kissed me and he immediately noticed.

He lifted his head above my face and looked at my eye in confusion and a little shock, he stood there staring at my eye, as if it was going to open any second now. But it didn't.

He stared at my tear for one last second in confusion before wiping it away carefully with the sleeve of his shirt. "Goodnight princess, I love you" He whispered before sitting back down and drifting off to sleep straight away.

He is so beautiful when he sleeps it's hard not to stare.

I stared at him one last time before whispering back "I love you too" but of course, he didn't hear me. I stared up at the ceiling as I let another tear fall and before I knew it I was fast asleep.

This morning I woke to the sound of Corbyn yelling at a doctor with the rest of the boys around him trying to hold him back. "Well if she's fine why isn't she awake!" He yelled gesturing a hand at my cold body lying on the hospital bed with cords attached to me everywhere.

"I'm sorry sir but I'm going to have to ask you to leave if you keep this up" the doctor spoke calmly pointing to the door. "I'm going to find someone helpful!" Corbyn spat releasing himself from Jonah and Jack's grip and walking out the door.

The boys followed him out Calling for him to stop, but Jack stayed. "I'm sorry about him" Jack said calmly. "It's okay, I know it's hard for you guys at the moment but you have to believe me when I say she's okay, the coma has only lasted 3 days, she should be waking up any time now" the doctor said with a smile as he patted jack softly on the shoulder and left the room shutting the door behind him.

Holy shit, I've been in a coma for 3 whole days! Wait, oh no that means Logan's home, he's going to kill me when he finds out about jack! And wh-wait, where is he anyway?

Jack looked at me and let out a deep sigh. He slowly walked over to me and I noticed he was holding a guitar.

Why on earth does he have a freaking guitar right now?!

He sat down in his chair next to my bed and got comfortable, holding the guitar. "I-I've written a song over the past 3 days and, i really need to share it with you" He whispered placing his hand on mine once again.

"I haven't written my own music in a while so excuse me" He said smiling to himself. As he brought his arm down to the guitar and started playing the first notes to the song.

• The song above is the one Jack is playing, just imagine it's in acoustic guitar, and it's Jack's voice •

He finished the song and wiped away the few tears he had let out, but had tried to hide. I lay there staring at him Crying, I'm speechless. That was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard, and the worse thing is, he doesn't even know I can hear it.

I watch him place his guitar to the side and put his head in his hands as he softly began crying to himself.

That's it. I've had enough. I can't lay here any longer watching him cry and not be able to comfort him. I need to kiss him and tell him I love him.

I need to give him a sign that I can hear him. Or even better. I need to fucking wake up.

I began holding my breathe, it had gotten to the point where my real life body couldn't take it anymore and gave up. Everything went black.

Suddenly my eyes opened and i began gasping for air, jack jumped up in fear and looked at me "oh my gosh Taylor! Your awake!" He yelled in shock as he grabbed my hand and watched me begin to breathe normally again.

I did it. I woke up.

"Jack" I whispered in pain as a tear slipped out of my eye and I tried to sit up, "shhhh" he said softly bringing me back down to lay on the bed. "I-I need to get the boys, I need to get the doctor" he started saying to himself quite fast.

"Wait, Jack stop" I managed to get out as I grabbed his hand tightly, "What is it babygirl?" He said looking at me with a soft smile and held my hand back.

"It was beautiful" I smiled softly, he looked at me in confusion "wait, you heard my song?" He said with wide eyes. I just smiled and nodded, "and i love it".

He smiled a warm smile before I spoke again, "I love you so much Jack" I said quite seriously. "I love you so much, you have no idea" he said leaning down so he could look deeper into my eyes.

I slowly lifted my weak other arm and rested it on his cheek, I slowly but softly rubbed my fingers against his cheek and he warmed up to it.

I then gently pulled him down to my face, we were just centimetres apart as He looked down at my lips and I softly smiled, before immediately pushing my lips against his.

Oh how I had craved and missed his warm, gentle lips so much! Kissing him right now felt so good. It felt, so right.

We kissed long and passionately before he pulled away and gently placed my hands back down on the bed. "Okay, you have to stay still, I'm gonna go get the doctors and the boys so they can help you immediately" he said seriously looking at me.

"I still don't know if your fine yet, okay?" He said backing away heading for the door. I nodded at him and got comfortable in my bed again as I watched him leave the room.

Why did I ever think leaving him was the right thing to do? I need him, he needs me. We need each other.
