Hold On...

Chapter 8. Waking up. Cat's POV

        All I saw was black, and I couldn't remember anything. Then I remembered I could open my eyes. I opened them up and was blinded by the lights. I groaned. My head was pounding and I just wanted to go back to sleep, but my curiosity won over me because I still wasn't sure where I was.

        I imagined this was how dad felt in the morning after drinking all night. Did I get drunk at a party or something? Then I remembered. I opened my eyes a bit and looked around for Caleb. My head was pounding. 

        "Ca..?" i croaked. "Caleb?" It was barely a whisper. I tried to lift up my arm, but I couldn't move it. I looked over and saw Caleb's face. He was laying on top of my arm, which was asleep.

        "Hey." I said a in a little louder croak. "Come on, my arm's asleep." Ouch. My throat hurt. I saw his eyes flutter open a bit and then go back down. I tried moving my arm slowly, but I ended up jerking it away and hitting myself in the face because I couldn't control it. "Ow." I said groggily.

        His head dropped a bit before his eyes popped open. "Cat?!" He said, practically yelling. I had a feeling he wasn't really, but I had a headache so everything was magnified by 10. "You're awake!" I saw him wipe some drool off the corner of his mouth, which I sleepily smiled about, before screaming to whoever was here that I had opened my eyes.

        I winced. My head hurt. He seemed to understand this because he quickly hushed everyone as they walked in. "Sorry Cat." He whispered. He wiped his eyes, I figured it was because he was tired. "Hey baby. You okay?"

        I thought about it for a second, "Yeah, nothing hurts too bad other than my head and everything is still kinda blurry." I closed my eyes and felt Caleb start to play with my hair. My headache didn't seem as bad anymore. I smiled and Caleb laughed lightly.

        "It's okay, you can go back to sleep if you want to." He said. I opened my eyes and winced a little at the lights. Ugh pins and needles. I thought as blood started rushing into my arm again. I groaned. "Cat." He looked over at me as i started to massage my arm. "Did you hit your arm or something? Does it hurt?" I laughed a little.

        "No, it's just that someone fell asleep on it." I laughed at his shocked expression. He grinned slightly and said, "Sorry." as he started to massage it for me. It felt really nice because his hands were so warm.

        "Can we go home now?" I asked Caleb. He smiled and replied, moving back to playing with my hair. "We can as soon as the doctor tell us. We have to make sure you are okay."

        "Okaaaahhhhhhhh----hhhhhuuuuuu" I yawned hugely and Caleb laughed at me. I punched his arm sleepily and let my eyes close. He had stopped playing with my hair and I frowned. "Something wrong, sleeping beauty?" I kept my eyes closed and pointed to my head, but somehow i just knew he was smiling. He started playing with my hair again and I drifted off to sleep...

        I started dreaming a wonderful dream. It was only weird because me and Caleb were in the middle of a group of beautiful girls in red bikini's at some party, but I don't think either of us would be there. I dreamed that he took my hand and said, "Out of all the other girls in this room, I love you." I smiled and said "I love you too, Caleb."....

~Haha jk... It's Caleb's POV again but just for a second. :P (sorry for interrupting you with this annoying authors note)~

        I felt something warm move out from under me and for a second I thought I was still home. Then my eyes popped open and I sat up quickly yelling for the others to come in because she was awake. I saw her make a face and immediately started whispering. "Hey baby." I said, wiping something wet from my eyes, I hoped she didn't notice. "You okay?"

        She looked up at me and slurred out, "Yeah, nothing hurts too bad other than my head and everything is still kinda blurry." She closed her eyes again. My mother walked over and started playing with her hair and Cat smiled. My dad was watching from the side of the bed. I laughed a little, relieved that she was okay. 

         "It's okay, you can go back to sleep if you want to." I said. She groaned and started to massage her arm. "Cat. Did you hit your arm on something? Does it hurt?" She laughed at me and said, "No, it's just that someone fell asleep on it." 

        I made a face and said, "Sorry." My mother waved goodbye to me and whispered and she and dad were going home to sleep. I checked the clock. It was 10:15. I waved them off and started to massage Cat's arm. "Can we go home now?" I smiled back. I would want nothing more than to take her home right now, but I can't. I stopped massaging her arm and decided to play with her hair like my mother had.

        "We can as soon as the doctor tells us. We have to make sure you are okay." I told her. She started to say okay, but it turned into a huge yawn and I laughed. She smiled and punched my arm. She was still really tired. I stopped playing with her hair and was going to go outside to sleep on the couch. I was afraid she might nto want me to lay with her now.

        I started to walk away and she frowned. "Something wrong, sleeping beauty?" I asked jokingly. Without opening her eyes she put her hand up and pointed to her hair. I happily walked back over and started playing with her hair.

        After a few minutes her breathing slowed and I was sure she was asleep. I was starting to drift off and I said, "I love you." And I could swear that right before I fell asleep, I heard her say 'I love you too, Caleb.'
