Chapter 21

Kayla's P.O.V
I am what? Alive? Is this even real? Am I actually dead? The walls are all white and wires and big machines surround me. A bunch of nurses rush into the room also.
"W-" I can't get the sentence out, "where a-"
"You're at the hospital, do you remember what happened?"
Yes. Every second of it. "No," I lie. "Well, there are a few people here waiting to see you," she says and walks out the the room.

Christian's P.O.V
It's already almost 12:3o and there's still no news on how Kayla's doing. Kayla's family went home just a few minutes ago, they offered to drive me home, but I told them my aunt can pick me up later. For the past few hours, I have been sitting in this spot keeping my head buried into my palms. When I lifted my head to check the time, a bunch of nurses were running into Kayla's run. I take it that means a bad thing. I put my head back into my palm and more hot tears stream from my eyes. "Sir," a voice says quietly. "What," I lift my head up, its a nurse. "We have an update,"
"I think I already know," I lean back in the seat I try to blink back more tears. "She just woke up," the lady smiled. "She what!" I jumped up, but she put her hands on my shoulders and push me back, "you can't see her yet, family first,"
"But I am her boyfriend, I basically am her family,"
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait,"
"This is stupid" I complain. "Kayla's family will be back in a few minutes, we have already called them," she says before walking away.
She's alive though. That's all I care about.
Kayla's family comes back in, her mom still crying, tears of joy now I am assuming. I jump up and hug all of them. I had to wait in the waiting room while they all got to go in and see her. I wasn't going to leave the hospital until I saw her, I don't care if I have to sleep here either.
Another hour goes by and Kayla's family left 15 minutes ago. Finally, that nurse stuck her head out the door and said, "Sir, you may come in, you have 5 minutes,"
I jump up and sprint into the room. Kayla lied on the bed looking like she was about to fall back asleep. "I'll be back in 5," the nurse closes the door behind her.
I have no idea what to say to Kayla, there's too many things I could say. I could tell her how dumb she was trying to kill herself but her family probably already told her that. She remains silent and I do too, we just look at each other and of course, I start tearing up. "Why are you crying?" She asks, her voice cracking a little. "I thought you were dead,"
"But I'm not,"
I don't say anything and cup my hands around hers. And that's when I noticed, the red lines going up and down the inside of her arms.

Kayla's P.O.V.
I got a full one-hour lecture from my family of how stupid and dumb it was if me to try to kill myself, which didn't give me another reason to be alive. After they left, the nurse let Christian come in. I could tell her had been crying but was trying to keep it together. He took a seat in the chair next to my bed and after the nurse left, we both stayed silent, until I noticed her started tearing up. "Why are you crying?" I asked. "I thought you were dead,"
"Did you want me to be dead?"
"No," he shakes his head.
I wish I was. He cupped his hands around mine. "Did you...?" Her turned my arm around reveling my cuts. He gets more teary as he sees more. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asks. "I didn't tell anyone," I simply answer. "B-but why did you do this to yourself?"
Maybe because I have spent the last few years of my life hating myself for every possible reason. I don't answer and pull my arm away. "You should go, it's been 5 minutes," I tell him. "Okay," he mumbles and stands up. He leans over and kisses me on the forehead before leaving the room. And for all I know, that could be the last time I would see Christian Akridge. The first and last boy that would ever call me beautiful.
