the sound of a man's voice humming woke me up, he also traced circles on my thumb, soft and delicate shapes, almost like he didn't want to hurt me anymore then I already was. I still kept my eyes shut, scared of reality.

"good evening, sweetheart" he spoke.

Ashton.
Only Ashton calls me sweetheart.

I flutter my eyes open, his curly brown hair was spread all over his face, his breath smelt disgusting and his B.O wasn't any better.

"you smell absolutely terrible" I whisper

a large grin spreads across his face, his dimples coming out even more.

"considering I have been sitting here for th-"

he cut himself off, only to yawn and take a sip of his hot beverage.

"Leila, I've been sitting here for the past 3 days, waiting here every second in case you woke up, I only slept when the doctors gave you more pain relief, and I only left the room when Emily was here, but I was never far away"

this is why he is my best friend.

I felt the tears slowly dripping down my face, but I swiped them away before he could notice how in love I was with him.

A doctor with blue scrubs interuppted my thoughts, his smile reassured me that i was going to be okay with the pain medication slowly dripping into me.

"take a shower, or use a flannel at least, you smell worse then I probably do"

he giggled and then my eyes became to even resist the urge to stay awake.
