One month on and Jay’s still in a coma, I’ve been spending every moment with him and collectively probably only had 6 hours sleep throughout the whole month. But I’m not going to complain, because I’m waiting to see those beautiful seas of sparkling baby blue eyes open. How I miss them. I wake up and look at the time. 6:25. Great only have roughly 25 minutes sleep last night. It’s been so lonely without him, no matter how many people are with me, I will never stop missing my boyfriend until he opens his eyes, smiles, and says my name in his Nottinghamshire accent. Watching Jay sleep gently at first I don’t even realise that Nathan is here; until I hear a cough I raise my head to see Nathan. He seems to be the only person out of the band who comes here every day.

We spend the whole day talking to Jay, laughing and joking. I haven’t genuinely laughed like this in a long while. We decide to play Seven of Diamonds card game and even pretend Jay’s playing with us. I watch Nathan who is in deep concentration, I stare at his lips as he bites his bottom lip, I begin to have the urge to kiss Nathan. He runs his spare hand through his hair as the temptation increases. No, this is wrong. I shouldn’t be thinking this about Nathan. Jay’s my boyfriend, who I am in love with, who I’d happily spend the rest of my life with. Nathan’s my best friend, who is always there for me, who doesn’t have any interest in me in any other way.

“Ermm… I’m going to go get some water…” I stutter, trying to get Nathan out my mind.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to stay by Jay’s side?” He asks.

“Well one minute won’t hurt.” I panic leaving the room, pouring the jug and letting the water pour into my cup, I feel arms wrap around my waist, in a panic I drop the jug everywhere. Shit. I turn around to come face to face to Nathan, licking his lips, why can’t I stop myself staring at his lips?

“Sorry, you scared me there, Nath…” I hesitate before laughing. Today out of all days, Nathan! I feel are noses touch as we both look down to my black hi top converse and his white Nike trainers.

In the evening, me and Nathan sit there awkwardly, it wasn’t awkward until I made it. I can only blame myself for having those out of nowhere, random thoughts about Nathan.

“Are you sure you don’t want to come over and have a drink? Clear your head? Bet it’s dead lonely here at night…” Nathan says, he says it every time before he leaves.

“I’m certain, it’s not lonely I have Jay.” I am certainly sure this time, but it does get lonely here, even with Jay beside me.

The next day pasts as Nathan comes over and I’m still thinking like this, it’s the evening as Nathan asks me the same question and this time I surprise myself.

“Yeah sure!” I say, “I mean only for tonight I don’t want to leave Jay for too long.” His mouth turns into a shape of an O as his eyebrows rise.

“Really?” He asks as I nod, “Let’s go!”

“Bye Jay,” I simple say, kissing his pale blue lips.

After a while we both get completely smashed, as I giggle helplessly, my head in Nathan’s lap. He’s laughing too. Yet we are both laughing about nothing. I lift my head up until I’m face to face with Nathan yet again, close enough to have our noses touching yet again. Out of nowhere our lips suddenly crash together, I can’t help giggling from all the alcohol I’ve drunk. I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing, all I know is I’m going to have the worst hangover in the morning.

In the morning I wake up in Nathan’s armed, as my headache kills me. There’s only one question that hovers around my mind: What did we do? As we both lie on the sofa, I take Nathan’s arm waiting for him to wake up but end up slapping him. He’s wide awake now.

“Nathan?! What did we do last night?” I cry as he sits there awkwardly, “We didn’t…”

“Lacey we didn’t do that!” He laughs.

“Well what did we do?!”

“We kissed…” He mumbles, “don’t worry I stopped it all before he did anything else… And you almost threw up on me…” He says.

“Sorry… Hang on you so would have deserved sick all over you! How dare you let me kiss you when my boyfriend is in a coma in hospital! I’m such a terrible girlfriend!”

“No you’re not!” He says, “I got my feelings about you mixed up, Lacey, I’m sorry I let it get the best of me…”

“Nathan…” I sigh, “Let’s just forget this ever happened yeah?”

“Okay… sure.”

“I don’t know how to act with Jay now… Eurgh why did this have to happen.”

“Do you want me to drop you off to the hospital?”

“Yea please…” I huff. How could I be this stupid.
