I woke up in a room that was white.
Everything was white. I realised that I was in a hospital. My eyelids still felt heavy and my pounding headache had not gone anywhere.

"Are you awake?"
I turned and saw Kellin.
I smiled.
He was here.
"Yeah. What happened?" I asked.
"Well, you called me saying that you needed help and when I got there, you were passed out on the ground. Not to mention you were freezing and soaking wet." He explained with concern.
It all came back to me.
The ache in my chest came back.
"Oh...yeah."
"By the way, Finn's here too. He came at the same time I came to you. He says he needs to talk to you." Kellin said eyeing me weirdly.
What more did Finn have to say?
"Okay. Let him in..." I said reluctantly.
"Finn, you're up." Kellin said as he passed him by the door.
"Cheers mate."
The sight of Finn made my heartache (and headache for that matter) worse.
"What do you want." I said, not really making it sound like a question.
But then I saw the worry on Finn's face.
"You... You scared the hell out of me Summer." Finn said, anger lining his voice.
"You- What?" I asked.
Why was he mad?
"I was a jerk I know. I always am. But...I like you a lot. I may even... Never mind. But what I'm trying to say is, I was afraid. I mean things never worked out between us in the past.

"Maybe it was partly my fault. But I always think that you can never like me as much as I like you.

"When you asked me out, it was the best feeling in the world.

"But Summer, you have to understand, I'm not ready to date you yet. But I do like you. A lot." He said. "Boy that was a long speech."
I laughed.
But he likes me?
Finn
Likes
Me...?!
My heart was ready to jump out of my chest.
Now my heart ached from feeling so happy.
"Finn, I understand that you're not ready to date. It's okay. I'm sorry I acted like that though." I said.
"Yes. Please don't ever do that to me again. I can't lose you." He whispered.
My eyelids felt heavy and I slowly drifted off into a nice, deep sleep with Finn's arms around me.
