*Three days later*

Slowly but surly Luna's condition was getting better. Zion hadn't left the girls side since he arrived. Occasionally, her parents would tell him to get some rest or go take a walk. It was nice of the nurses to set of cot for Zion in Luna's room. Her parents had rented a room at hotel not far from the hospital. Kyra and Brennen did the same as well. There wasn't much for them to do besides wait at the hospital or their hotel room. As usual, the dread headed boy sat in the chair next to Luna's bed. Holding her hand and occasionally talking about anything. Mainly what was being said in the group chat with the rest of the prettymuch boys. Day after day, Luna had tried her best to wake up. She would do little things such as moving her fingers. "The guys are still worried about you. Austin said Ollie has been sleeping in your bed." Zion spoke to her. He smiled to himself, remembering when he had first met her dog. "Do you remember when I first met Ollie? It was  our fourth date, you invited me over for dinner. You said dress comfy. I remember being nervous as fuck. My hands were more clammy than usual. But uh I remember you wore the same trippie Redd hoodie I was wearing. You invited me in and there stood Ollie. I swear if looks could kill, I'd be dead. But eventually he warmed up to me. That's the same night I learned that you were the one I wanted to marry. You also dragged my ass, roasting me and shit. When we finally calmed down, you put on that cool ass show. What was that show we was watching? The one where earth was inhabitable?-"
Zion was cut off my the voice. "The 100" Luna spoke. Barely opening her eyes. Zion was shocked, "what?" He asked. She gave a small smile. "The show is called the 100 you idiot" she replied. He hugged her carefully but tight enough for her to be comforted. "God you had me scared shitless Luna" he spoke into the hug as he kissed her head multiple times. "Water please" she said. Zion pressed the nurses button and then poured Luna some water. Carefully helping her take small sips of the water. She closed her eyes as the cool liquid soothed her throat. "You really wanted to marry me?" The girl asked Zion as she laid back down. His cheek began to grow a light shade of red. "I uh I mean yeah" he nervously spoke. Before she could say anything, Dr. Altman and a few nurses walked in. "You're awake! How do you feel Luna?" Altman asked. "I feel like I've been hit by a semi truck" Luna answered. Dr Altman laughed before doing a quick exam. "We're going to run more tests on you. Just to make sure you're good. Any questions?" She asked. Zion looked at Luna, "um how long do should I expect to stay here?" Luna asked. Dr Altman smiled at the two, "if everything is good, you'll stay here for a week. You did just go through surgery" she answered. Luna thanked her and she left the room. Zion pulled out his phone and quickly called Paul. "Paul, she's awake." Zion said to the phone. He smiled and put the phone back into his pocket. "How's Edwin?" Luna asked the boy. "He's been worried about you. Surprisingly he had me come instead of him." Zion spoke, Luna smiled and nodded her head. "He's still playing match maker. One day he's gonna get his ass kicked" Luna spoke truthfully. The two laughed and Zion stared at the girl. Taking in her features. He thanked god for keeping his lover alive. It fell silent between the two, it was anything but awkward. "What's got you so quiet?" She asked the boy. He looked down at his shoes before looking at her. Luna noticed the tears in his eyes, becoming worried. "You have no idea how happy I am that you're alive and awake. Shit Luna, I was fucking terrified. Don't ever do that shit again" he said reaching for her hand. She frowned at the thought of his talks he shared when she was unconscious. "Come here" she said to Zion. She moved just enough to give him space on the bed. He sat down, facing her. She grabbed his hand, "I'm okay now" Luna wiped the falling tears off his face. In this moment, Luna knew that she was still in love the boy. Always has been and always will be. But will she be able to forgive him. Or will she be able to trust him enough to take him back? Luna didn't know what this meant for the two. In fact, she didn't know if he had truly ended things with Mya. She had worked too hard to move on, to be happy again.
