You saved my life *Dalton Rapattoni*

Chapter 31

A few minutes later I heard a knock at my door. "Yes?" I said. "It's Dalton!" I heard Dalton's voice say. I smiled greatly at the sound of his voice. "Come in!" I yelled. The nurse and Dalton both walked in. The nurse was helping him stay balanced as he walked. He sat down on a chair that was next to my bed. He looked up at me and smiled. The nurse stood next to Dalton smiling at both of us. "Could you, um leave us alone?" I asked, in the nicest way possible. "Oh, yea, sure. Sorry." She apologized as she walked out. She closed the door, leaving us completely alone. "So, how are you feeling?" He asked. "Completely fine, just a little hungry and  still missing my left leg. You?" I answered. "I also feel completely healthy, just get headaches from time to time and get dizzy when I try to walk." He said.  I nodded. We sat there quietly for about 2 minutes, accidentally having an awkward silence. I broke the silence and said, "I missed you, you know." Dalton looked up at me. "I missed you more." He said, in a competitive voice. "Why would you say that?' I laughed. "Because I couldn't even talk to you. I would ask the nurse everyday if had you woken up. I would pray, asking to just see your beautiful smile just one more time." He said, moving his chair closer to my bed. I smiled at his words, feeling my cheeks turn red. "Really?" I asked. "Of course!" He grabbed my hand, being cautious of my IV. "I love you so much." I spoke sweetly. 'I love you, too, beautiful. ' He said, pecking me on the lips

"No, kiss me again." I whined. "Hmm?" He asked with a smile. "I haven't been able to kiss you, I missed it and I know you do too." I explained. "You know me so well." Dalton responded. "I know." I smiled. Dalton cupped my face and kissed me. I closed my eyes and felt like I was going into a trance, how I usually feel when he kisses me. I wrapped my arms loosely around his neck, forgetting about my IV. "OW!" I yelled, breaking the kiss. "Oh my.. Are you alright?" He asked, with concerned eyes. "Yea, just forgot about the IV in this arm." I said with a laugh at the end.  I flopped my arm back down on the bed, stretching it out so the needle wouldn't bother me. "Uh, Theo, can I get your advice on something?" He asked. "Yeah, sure." I said, in a little bit of a worried tone. "Well, since I've been in the hospital I've had a lot of alone time and I thought mostly in this alone time, and uh I'm thinking about leaving IM5." He managed to choke out. My jaw dropped, "What made you think this way?" "You know pop music isn't my passion. I'm thinking about starting Fly Away Hero again. " He explained. "Well, what I think is that if you're really not completely happy in IM5, then you should try to go after your true passion, but before you do contact your old members and figure stuff out so, you're not jumping into something headfirst without knowing if it will work, ok?" I suggested. He nodded. "Thanks, I wouldn't know what to do without you." He smiled, staring straight into my eyes. "Go completely insane." I joked. "I probably would." He laughed back.

"Also, I have something to tell you." I said remembering the conversation with my mother. "Yes?" He asked, raising his eyebrows. "You know how you haven't fully met my parents? Well, my Mom told me she really wants to meet you fully." I said. He nodded, still smiling, but you could tell he was nervous. "And don't worry my Mom already likes you, all you have to do is get my Dad to like you." I said, trying to make him feel better. "That doesn't help! That's Dad's are hard, specially when you dress the way I do." He complained, leaning back in his chair. "Dalton." I said sternly, giving him a death stare. "I'm sorry, but it's true." He complained again. "My Father is not a rude man who will judge you on your appearance and I'm sorry if he wants to protect his daughter." I said in an annoyed tone. Dalton noticed my anger and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you." "It's fine." I smiled. All of the sudden my stomach growled loudly. "Wow, you really are hungry." Dalton laughed. "Yea, well I haven't eaten a real meal for a day and half!" I replied. "We can call the nurse and ask if you can have a meal, if you want?" Dalton suggested. "Yes, please, thank you!" I cheered. "I hope we get a different nurse then before. She's a little too nice." He said, pressing the nurse call button. "She's not that bad, besides by the way she's acting she's probably new." I figured. Dalton nodded in agreement. A few seconds later the nurse came in, same one as before. "Everything alright?" She asked, in a perky way, with an incredibly huge smile. Probably the biggest smile I've ever seen on a woman.

"Uh, I was just wondering if I could have a meal? I'm terribly hungry." I explained. "Um, I'll go check with the doctor, though you probably can." She told me. "Ok, thank you." I politely said back. She left to go talk to the doctor. "I really hope I can have food. " I whined, slightly. "If not, I'll steal you some." Dalton said. "And, how will you do that? You can barely stand up on your own!" I teased him. "I don't know, but I will somehow. You deserve food." He claimed. "You're so sweet and stupid." I laughed. "Hey!" He yelled, trying to sound offended. "What? It's the adorable kind of stupid." I explained. "Alright, as long as it's the adorable stupid." He said, kissing me. I placed the hand with the IV in it, on his cheek. He sat on the edge of his seat, running his fingers through my hair. Then, we heard a knock on the door. I broke away and moved my hand to his neck. "Yes?" I called out. "I'm back, may I come in?" The nurse asked. I looked up at Dalton and pouted. Dalton smiled down at me and chuckled. I leaned back down on the bed. "Yup!" I sighed, still staring at Dalton. The nurse walked in with a piece of paper. "Here's a menu. Look it over and tell me what you want." She said, with her usual perky smile. I looked it over and chose what I wanted. "Can I please have the bologna sandwich with chocolate pudding?" I told her. She nodded and took the menu back. I'll be back in a few minutes. "Ok!" I smiled, excited to get my food.
