Why me?

||Chapter 7||

Autumn's P.O.V.

___________________________

I pull my gun out , but keep it low by my side. I see a car speeding up besides me and try to loose them by going faster. It doesn't work and soon the car besides me rolls it's window down. I'm not surprised when I see Jake's best friend, Blake. He smirks at me before raising his arm up to show his long slender fingers around a gun.

My eyes widen and I'm too late to react as I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder. My hands release their grip on the steering wheel and the car spins out of control . The car slams into a lamp post and my vision begins to cloud. The last thing I hear is another gunshot and sirens before black takes over my surroundings.

----------------------------------------------

I wake up to the sound of the steady rhythm of beeping. My eyes flutter open to see three sleeping bodies slumped in uncomfortable looking plastic chairs and a pacing figure that looks as if the person is limping.

I soon recognize the other three people as Liz and both Jacks. The person pacing notices that I'm awake. As they step closer I notice it is a torn up Nash. Bruises cover his face and he has a cut on his lip and eyebrow.

"Autumn." he whispers , cautiously walking over to me.

"Nash." I croak.

He doesn't say anything , he just sits on the side of my bed and stares at me with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry." he looks down.

"It's not your fault it's mine , I should have shot him when I had the chance."

"No, I should have been the one driving and I should have been the one shot and nearly killed."

"Don't say that , what happened , happened and there is nothing we can do about it."

"Can I give you a hug?" I nod. I bring my good arm and wrap it around his torso. We pull away , but don't remove the small distance between us. His eyes flicker from my eyes to my lips and he starts to lean in. I find myself also leaning in and soon our lips meet.

There were sparks , they were small , but they are still sparks. He swipes my lip asking for permission to enter , which I hesitantly accept. He roams my mouth and our tongues fight for dominance, which eventually he won.

We pull away ,both breathless. We rest out foreheads against each other as our breaths come out uneven.

"Autumn."

"Hmm."

"Would you like to go on a date with me?" I smile before pressing my lips against his ,quickly pulling away.

"I'm going to take that as a yes." he chuckles then presses his lips to my nose.

"What time is it anyways?"

"3:30am." he chuckles.

"You need to get some rest." he kisses my forehead and gets up to leave.

"Nash."

"Yeah?"

"Stay with me."

"Where am I going to sleep?"

"Here, with me."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive." I scoot over and pat the spot next to me on the small hospital bed. He slips off his shoes and lays down facing me. He kisses my forehead one last time before we both drift off to sleep.
