Chapter Ten: Only me

I gasped as she fell to the floor and the teachers finally caught whiff of what was going on. They forced everyone to go to class, and were dumbstruck at what had happened in the last 3 minutes. Someone showed them all a video, and soon two ambulances arrived at the school. Soon after the ambulances left the teachers dismissed us from school and let us go home for the day. Mack and I rushed to the hospital where she was recovering. Her parents were had just walked out of her room when they heard her friends were coming.

"How is she?" I asked the doctor walking us to her room.

"She's doing quite well, she's awake right now but isn't feeling too well. We stitched up her wounds and she should be able to resume normal activities in two weeks,"

"Okay, okay so all good things right now,"

"Yes all good things," he responded with a smile. He opened the door and left us to talk to her. She didn't notice us at first, she was too busy looking through an ESPN magazine.

"Hey there Cap," Mack finally said, getting Liz's attention.

"Oh hey guys, how are you?"

"How are we?" I asked incredulously, "Liz you just got stabbed!"

"I'm okay, really," Mack and I gaped at her, did she even realize what she was saying.

"Liz your one of my best friends and I need you to be honest, so how are you?" It hurt me to say best friend, but I couldn't say crush. I was still a bumbling idiot whenever she complimented my skills or me. She was still cool and collected no matter what.

"I'm better than earlier, my face still really hurts but besides that I'm doing okay,"

"I'm glad to hear it,"

"I'll let you guys have a minute then I'll come back," Mack knew I had a massive crush on the captain, and she fully supported it. She said the brave, cool, and kind captain is probably the only one she would trust to date me. I asked what everyone else would think, and she explained to me that basically all the soccer team was gay or bi, and that the school was totally chill about the whole thing.

"Why!? Why'd you risk your life? Liz you could've been killed!"

"Yeah I could've been killed but it would only be me. No one else, just me," She stated while looking down at the bed, a frown etched on her face "It would only be me,"

"Only you? Liz your so amazing, why the fuck would you think that your anything less than amazing,"

"Because I would rather myself be hurt then anyone else, I don't want to see others suffer if I can take that pain away," She whispered looking at me in the eyes then putting her head back down. If- if I can take away the pain of someone else than I deserve the pain,"

"You don't always have to take the hits Liz, I thought I lost you.... I I-" and that's all I could say before a broke down.

"Hey hey it's okay, I'm still here. I'm right here," She said, looking into my eyes again. I wanted to lean down and kiss her then, but I just couldn't. I didn't have that courage. She smiled at me and brought me in for a light hug. I wanted to enjoy it but all I could enjoy was her. Her cinnamon and earthy scent, her muscular arms around me, and her calming voice. She released the hug and looked up at me. Normally she was the tall one but now that I was sitting and she was laying I was taller. Behind her in the mirror I saw my tan skin practically glowing under the lights, and my black hair still a tiny bit wet from the rain. I looked back at her Liz to see her staring at me, and when she saw me looking back she smiled.

"I'm glad you came to visit," She said

"Me too, but don't you ever act like your not important. Because your really important, at least... your really important to me," I said almost breaking down again.

"Your really important to me too and-" she stared into my eyes, looking at the tears forming, "hey it's okay. I promise I'm okay. I'm still here, I'm right here," she said, rubbing her hand up and down my arm sending shivers down my arm. We both looked deeply into each other's eyes, finding peace in the silence. That was until she reached her arm further up than my shoulder and wrapped it around my neck, pulling me down into a kiss.

At first it was hesitant, both of us unsure if the other was okay with this. Then we leaned into in farther, and I found myself putting my heart and soul into this kiss. I can't get enough of her. Her lips are so soft and tasted faintly of pineapple. She put her other arm around my neck and pulled pushing my body closer to her. I gasped and she smiled into the kiss. I pushed my tongue against her lips, and she opened her mouth to let me in. I explored her mouth, never getting enough of her taste. She soon pushed her tongue against mine, and I let her take control. The feeling of her kissing me, I don't think I'll forget it anytime soon. I never wanted to stop, but unfortunately all good things have to end. We both we're taking deep breaths, and she was about to say something as I leaned in again, placing a softer, slower kiss on her lips. It felt amazing, the feeling of her reciprocating my feeling, the feeling of her soft lips against mine. It felt like a dream.

"Wooh! About time!" Mack called looking at the both of us. We both immediately separated and looked back at her. "You guys have been making goo goo eyes since the first scrimmage, seriously it's about time," I blushed and Liz bit her lip.

"We can talk later" She whispered to me, then started engaging in a conversation about football with Mack. We both left the hospital and the whole car ride back I didn't hear anything but teasing from Mack and the rain pouring down around us.
