Glances and Chances

Chapter 12: Recovering

Zac's POV

I'm still in so much pain. Getting lost in the darkness is a nightmare. I want this to end. I want to see the light. Is she worried about me? I thought. Vanessa. Is the only thing in my mind while I was in so much pain after the shot. As I got lost in the dark, I saw a streak of light coming from the north. I ran towards the light, hoping it would be my escape. 

I reached the light and it blinded me. I began to feel the machines beeping inside of me. I began to smell the air of the hospital room. I began to hear the noises coming from the outside. I can control my body again. I moved my fingers and seem to feel someone holding it. I flutter my eyes, at first all I can see is a blurry hospital room ceiling, until a few seconds later, my vision turned normal. 

I saw her asleep at the very side of my bed. Holding my weak hands. I smiled from the view. I took a glance around the room. Endless beeping from the machines is the only thing I heard. Then the door opened, Dylan and Ashley came in with food. Then they saw me awake. Oh My Gosh! Zac! Ashley exclaimed. Her greetings made Vanessa sat straight up. Dude, you're awake! Dylan said. But Vanessa remained silent and let go of my hand. 

Vanessa's POV

Oh My Gosh! Zac! Ashley exclaimed. I sat up from my chair in surprise. When I saw him. I felt relieved and slight of guilt. I remembered everything that happened that night and I couldn't face him. I can't look at the guy who loved me very much and managed to keep one big secret at. I stood up and excused myself. As I was heading out, Zac called me. Vanessa, where are you going? he asked. I stopped and looked at him.

I need to talk to you. He added. We should leave you two. Dylan said. When Dylan and Ashley left the room. I sat down next to his bed and I looked at him. I know I said I can't but I still have to. Vanessa, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I left. He said. No, Zac. I'm sorry. I kept it. I replied. I understand, why you kept all of it. I forgive you. He said. Tears started to roll down my cheeks. With his weak hand, he wiped it. I love you, Vanessa and I will always will. He added.  I love you too. I replied. 

It's a matter of time that I should make a statement about the video, to end this up. I thought to myself. I called my manager and told her all the things that happened that very night. She said that I'll be on a talk show tomorrow night. I was so worried. But I know that whatever happens, I'll be okay.

Zac's POV

I've been running on some tests all day. Vanessa has been by my side all day long and It's more comfortable with her. With my condition, my stay on the hospital will be longer. I'm still in alot of pain, but slowly I'm recovering. I'm gonna be attending counseling soon, since that incident brought me to a lot of trauma. 

Vanessa is going to be in a talk show tomorrow night. She's acting weird since she heard of it. Nessa, are you okay? I asked. She turned to me and looked at my eyes. Yeah, I'm just nervous. She replied. Don't be. Everything is going to be alright. I said. She smiled and I can tell she's relieved. We chatted for a little bit and laughed about hilarious things.
