The Aftermath

12 - Love you

Becky
I opened my eyes and saw white lights blinding me, I felt like I was choking. I banged my legs about and a nurse quickly ran in and took out my breathing tube.

"Becky!"

I looked up and saw Ashley, I still have no fucking clue was it going on. I could hear a familiar voice ringing in my ears.

"Becks your awake!"

I saw Colby and I felt the tears start to run.

"Look I'm so sorry for what happened in pizz-"

I smashed my lips into his, not caring about Pizza Hut. He really isn't dead, I feel so sick. It felt so real, like I'd really lost him.

"Whoa Becks."

"Colby I never ever want you to leave my side again."

"I'm not planning on going anywhere. I thought you were."

"No, how long have I been here."

"About two months, they weren't sure if you were gonna make it."

"So you're actually here?"

"Yes."

"So If was fucking dreaming."

"Yes?"

"Come here big man."

I pulled him onto my bed.

"I'm guessing you want this back then."

He held up my ring and I nodded.

"Look I'm sorry for putting pressure on you."

"I should've just told you. I'm so sorry Colby."

"I'm sorry too."

"I love you, you know that."

"I do Becks, I love you too."

I could feel all the pain in my heart meting away, everything that's happened in the last two months has been in my head. Why would my brain do that to me, make me think I've lost the only thing I had left. It doesn't matter anymore. I've got Colby right where I want him and if he thinks I'm ever letting him go anywhere on his own again, he is so wrong.

"What happened in your dream Becks?"

"You died and I was so heartbroken, I'd lost the man that meant the world to me and I couldn't get you back. We were on such bad terms too, I never got to apologise, everything was just so hard."

"Well look, your laying on my chest. I'm not dead, I'm right by your side. Is this why you forgave me?"

"Yes, because I couldn't deal with the pain anymore. I needed you back but I couldn't find you."

"I'm never leaving you Becks, how'd I die."

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Why?"

"Please Colby, all I've been seeing is pain and crying. I know it's notreal now but it feel so real. So I really don't want to talk about your death."

"Okay. I'm just going to get something from my car."

"No, Joe can get it."

"I'm not gonna leave."

"Your not leaving and that's final go talk to go about it."

"Alright love, I'll be back I'm just going to talk to Joe."

Colby
I haven't spoke to Becks in months, I've been so scared that I'd lost her. She'd not want me back, she put our kid up for adoption and leave. But so far all Becks has wanted is me by her side. Joes gone to my car to get my wedding planner book, I've been doing some planning even though I wasn't entirely sure if we were together any more. I need Becky's opinion on a few things. Like colour of tablecloths and what flavour icing she wanted. I see Joe walking up the corridor with my binders in hand.
