Could be Colton

Something Special

"Cole, baby boy, you have to go back home or at least tell you fam..." Dalton's mother said trying to console Cole knowing how much he and Dalton just went through.

" I'll go back home when he wakes up and sees that I'm here." Cole said for seventh time in four days, through rugged teary sobs.

"But aren't your family going to worry," she said moving over to rub Cole's back gently.

"They know. And I'm staying here until he wakes up because I need to know he'll be okay and he needs to know that......t-that I-I llove him," replied Cole, breaking down in his third fit of tears.

Cole hadn't been to sleep since the night before he went to talk to Dalton and he was beginning to catch his third wind. His mind was unstable and he could eat anything but he stay awake with coffee.

Kiva continued to rub his back and let him rest his head on her shoulder to catch his tears.

Kiva had to leave Hunter and Cole at the hospital to continue doing her mom duties. As she was tell the boys to tell if anything happens, only the nurses could identify the sound of a mother's heart breaking by the way she spoke.

Eventually she came back with visitors, Sophie bawling her eyes out after the doctor could give her an answer to if her brother would die. Becca left to go to the bathroom and didn't come back for a while.

This time Cole was the one doing the comforting.
Cole had to drag Sophie away from the room Dalton was in, kicking, screaming and crying.

"Sophie, shhhhh, Sophie darling, the doctors will try to make Dalton all better...as good as new." Cole said as he pulled the little girl into his lap and let her bury her face in his shirt.

"Why are you crying, Cole? He loved you more than anything else ever. And I saw how you were crying when you had to carry his body to the ambulance. What if you have to carry his body to his cof......" Sophie said before Cole cut her off.

"Sophie don't say that. Just keep the faith."

"But-"

"Sophie everything will be okay just keep positive thoughts about Dalton in your head and he'll be fine." Cole said right before Becca told Sophie that they had to go home and get some rest.

One of the nurses brought Cole a couple granola bars but he couldn't eat them, he tried but it wouldn't work.

"Young man, we have good news!" The doctor said to Cole still sitting intently waiting for some news.

Cole shook Hunter but he would get up. He decided to go on with out him.

The doctor opened the door and Cole ran towards Dalton

3:50

"Dalton, Dalton, baby! It's me, please wake up, please." Cole said as Dalton began to stir.

A series of groans came from Dalton before he actually opened his eyes and looked at Cole.
3:67

"Cole. What are you doing here? Why aren't you at home?" Dalton asked trying to prop himself up but the doctor advising him to just rest by sticking his hand out.

"Oh my god, Dalton, you're okay!" Cole said blinking his eyes in amazement.

"This young man has been here the past five days waiting for you to wake up," said the doctor. "You have something special here."

The doctor left and Cole continued to peruse Dalton. He dove in to hug him and wouldn't left him go.

"Why did you stay with me?" Dalton asked his voice calm and friendly, unlike before.

"You don't get it, yet, do you?" Cole replied shaking his head. "Dalton, I love you."

Dalton opened his mouth as if he was going to say something and then stopped.

"I've known since the school started that I've liked you, I realized before I got messed up at the party that I wanted to be with you but I also thought Peter was sweet and safer. I learned that Peter had a problem with different shades of green. Somehow I always knew by the accidental kiss that I wanted to forgive you and be with you but I just couldn't bring myself to it. I saw how this all changed you and I felt devastated and heart broken. Dalton, I love you. I loved you. I still love you. Be my boyfriend, please and never do this to yourself ever again." Cole finished saying, resting his head down on Dalton's stomach.

"Cole, come here, please," he said nonchalantly, gesturing with his head.

Cole went up to Dalton trying to make sure he wasn't stepping or sliding onto any of the wires that were connected to Dalton's body.

When Cole's face was close enough, Dalton mustered up all his strength to prop himself up and grab the back of Cole's head.

Dalton pulled Cole's lips to his in a heated kiss. Cole saw Dalton struggle to keep himself up and slowly pushed him back down on to the hospital bed.

Cole felt a surge through his body as Dalton kissed him ever so slowly. Cole was taking in every moment, breathing the same air.

Dalton started getting out of breath but wanted to continue, feeling Cole's lip on his. He pushed Cole away by his shirt, slightly and brought him into a very tender and loving Eskimo kiss.

Hunter came in and just rest on the frame of the door looking at his love struck friends.

"I promise not to do it again, I'm sorry Cole. And yes I'ld love to be your boyfriend." Dalton replied mid Eskimo kiss.
