**Zacks POV**

I opened my eyes. not again.

This is the second time I've ended up in a hospital because of coughing.

My vision had been blurry at first but now it was clearing. straight ahead of me on the wall was a clock, 7:00

I looked to the window in the far left corner, sunrise.

It's the morning. the last thing I remember was falling and hearing julio call my name. JULIO! I sat up but fell back down, the pain in my chest was to much right now. I looked around on my left, no one, nothing but hospital stuff.i looked to my right, in the corner right by my bed, sat Julio sleeping. I giggled to myself. he looked so peaceful.

He had one hand holding up his face, his other arm draped behind his head.

I hit the nurse button, she can ABOIT five minutes later.

"Hello! How are you, zackary?" "I feel good until I try to sit up, how long have I been here?" She looked out the door and onto the wall outside the door. "since four pm yesterday. we have a few questions for you zack"

"Wha?" Julio was just waking up now. "hey love, how was your sleep?" At my question his eyes bulged out. "ZACK!" He jumped towards me and engulfed me in a hug. "hey to you to." I laughed and looked back to the nurse. "What are the questions?"

She went down the list from is I smoked-no... if I live with someone who smoked-used to... If I have had treatment for my emphysema-not yet...

In the end I'm having to have to get tests down and a possible surgery or treatment to try to help fix my lungs, I have a bad case in one of my lungs and they say it may collapse if not treated.

"You are ready to leave Zack in three days, by then your stitches will be able to be taken out, but it still have to be cleaned and rebandaged every few days. and if there are any problems, come back, and the process will be simple."

()()() three days later yolo ()()()

I'm out.

I'm free.

I hug Julio as we drive back to his house. he had recorded some videos, helped explained what happened to me to the cube guys, and came back to spend with me everyday. I swear, every second he was there, I love him so much.

How can I show my appreciation?

I looked at my phone, in Canada it was minus thirty four with minus forty with windchill. I really hate living in Canada. <{this was weather where I live yesterday so yeaaaaa #canadahype}>

When we got to his house we walked into his room. I sat on his bed and he fell over onto my legs. he turned so he could face me.

"I love you" I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "I love you so much Julio, I have no idea how I can ever show how much I love you, its next to impossible." I leaned down and kissed him. "I love you too." he sat in my lap with his arms around my neck and his head just under my chin.

I kissed his head and pulled my arms around him leaning back to the wall.

"Wanna do a collab? Come on you know it's fun" I whispered Parkers version of want to build a snow man. "a potato flew around my room" Julio stood up and went to his chair. "what's nine plus ten?" "Twanty waun" we were laughing , both of us almost in tears.

I stood up and pulled him up to me from his chair. by now it was about nine and I was tired. We shuffled slash dance I would want to say as I picked him up. he put his legs around my torso as I fell onto the bed.

He put his arms around neck and kissed me. "I love you Zack. never leave me" I kissed him too. "I never will."

He fell asleep as we were entangled together, legs intwined arms around each other, his head on my chest.

For me, this was perfect.

He's perfect.

I kissed the top of his head. "I love you" I whispered. I closed my eyes and drifted off.
