Chapter Ten

Billy's POV

My eyes flutter open, with my eyesight in a blur, as turn to my right, it gets more and more clearer.

Kelli is sitting next to me, all cleaned up and healthy. She smiles at the sight of me, I smile back.

She gently touches my cheeks, warming them.

"Hey." Kelli whispers, adding in a smile exposing her perfect, bright teeth.

"Where am I?" I say, looking around, not exactly knowing.

"Billy, you're at the hospital. You had surgery on your shoulder and stitches on your knee from that fall. You've been unconscious for 2 days." She tells me, as I take a deep breath, taking in all this information.

"So what happens now?" I ask, sitting up and stretching my arms. My body aches.

"Well the doctor says once you wake up that you can go home. Since your parents are out of town, they gave your brother Eric permission to check you out."

"Ok, so get out of this damn bed! I need to get out of here." I tell her, trying to leave my spot, her cold but gentle hands pauses me.

"Billy, you can't go home just yet. They still have to run some tests on you to make sure you're okay. Please, just relax." She whispers to me, waiting for me to respond.

"Okay." I say.

As the minutes pass, no conversation, or anything happens. I stare at her eyes, for a while, a long time, not even realizing I was.

She fumbles with her fingers, and looks down at them half the time, and examines the room, avoiding eye contact with me.

"You don't seem comfortable." I say to Kelli, she automatically sets her eyes on mine, as if she wanted to do that for a long time.

"Well these chairs are really hard. You know how hospitals are." She replies, stretching out her back.

"Come on, just sit with me." I offer, slowly moving a little to the side to make space for her.

She jumps at the chance, and makes her self seem a lot more comfortable.

This is my only shot, to kiss Kelli.

I have to tell her how I feel.

"Hey, um, I have to tell you something, and its really important." I say to her, forcing the words out. She sits up to face me.

"Our conversation at the park, it really made me think about things, our friendship, us. And it will mean a lot to me if I fill you in." I start, looking up her eyes.

She looks excited, also anxious towards what I have to say, and slightly angry that I just brought it up.

I place my hand on her right cheek.

"I've never had an intimate relationship with someone, so I don't know what it feels like to share a passionate connection with a girl. After all this, I realized that you are exactly who I want to be with. You're beautiful, smart, kind-"

She gently pushes my hand away, and faces down, shaking her head.

"Stop. Don't tell me this because you feel so sorry for me, I am not going to go through that, and-"

I press my lips against hers, as my mouth parts, while my hands desperately try to find her two cheeks and neck. She pulls away in complete shock, I twine my hand through her hair and gently pull her head back, so close that were touching nose to nose.

I feel her lips work softly againt mine, each peck, each kiss rougher than the others, more romantic, hungrier.

She closes her eyes, as do I, wishing this moment would last forever.

Her hands finally reaches my neck, as she grips it tighter, and tighter. After each kiss.

I slowly pull away, with my eyes still closed. She rests her forehead on mins, caressing my cheek, rubbing it softly with her thumb, as we gasp for air.

"I have feelings for you, Kelli. I want you, and I hope you want me too." I say between breaths. She smiles.

"I never stopped having feelings for you, and I never will." She confesses, searching into my eyes.

"You're amazing" I whisper, adding in a smirk, as my fingers gently stroke her hair.

"Billy, even if things go wrong between us we are always going to be best friends right? We have to be." She asks, revealing the worry in her brown eyes.

I can't even think, not after that kiss.

"Of course, and whatever comes our way Kelli, we will deal with it. Together." I assure her, holding her shivering hand.

There is no response, she justs leans in for one last kiss, I wanted it, she wanted to re-live that moment once again.

She brushes her lips against mine, softly, my feelings for her get stronger by the minute.

Kelli lays down and rest her head on my good shoulder, as her hand sits on my chest.

"Miss Berglund, will you do the honors of being my loving girlfriend?" I say.

"I will. I would love to be your girlfriend." She responds, as I place my warming hand on top of hers, eventually colliding fingers and joining our hands together.

I kiss her forehead, as she smiles in reply. She makes me feel happy, I feel honored to be the one to keep her safe in my arms, to waste friday nights with, to share laughter, and love.

We're meant to be together, it was always supposed to end this way, with Kelli locked in my arms.
