For The Love of A Daughter

Chapter 11

Three days has passed and John still hasn't opened his eyes. I have stayed at the hospital every day. When I go home, I change, and take a shower that's it. I want to be there when he wakes up. I'm sure he wants to see me when he wakes up. We have so much to talk about, but it's going to take a while to talk about everything.

I was sitting in a chair right next to his bed. I had my arms wrapped around my legs. My head was against the wall and I was looking around the room. The only thing I can think about is that night. I just want to go back to that night and change it. There probably is not much I could change, but it would be something.

As I was sitting there, I saw John's hand moved; I hurried up and grabbed it. He moved his head and started to open his eyes.

"Morgan." He said weakly.

"I'm here."

"Can you get me water?"

I let go of his hand and got him some water. He took it and I just looked at him.

"Are you in any pain?"

"A little, I'm surprised to see you. I thought you didn't want to see me."

"I love you John, I wish we could have finished talking that night. I'm sorry I should have just let you finish. Then when I came saw you the first day you flat lined. I thought I was going to lose you forever." Tears filled my eyes.

"Morgan, none of this is your fault. Wait I died?"

"The first day you flat lined."

"I love you too Morgan. I will tell you the whole story, but I don't want to do right now."

"We can talk about it when you're out of here."

"Alright, how long have you been here?"

"Since the first day, I didn't want to leave you. I wanted to be here when you woke up. I would want you to be there when I woke up, even if it was me instead of you."

"I wouldn't leave the hospital if it was you."

"I didn't want to leave, but I had to go home and change and shower."

"Well yea, I would do that and come right back."

"It's so good to hear your voice." I smiled.

"I'm so glad you're here."

"Can I lay with you?"

He moved over a little and I got on the bed. I put my head against his chest and he put his arm around me.

"Do you want to know why I took the bet?"

"Yea, only if you're ready to tell me."

"I took it because I wanted to get away from him. I liked you and I didn't want to hurt you. Taking the bet meant I could get to know you. I had no intention of having sex with you the first month. If I really did I could have at that party, but I didn't want to."

"Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"How would I tell you? Our relationship is not based on this bet. It's based on us. We both wanted this."

"I guess it wouldn't matter if I found out or not. I'm glad I found out now instead of down the line."

"I'm sorry you had to find out this way though. I knew Damien was going to try something that's why I wanted you close to me. After that night I have a feeling he's going to be around, but I'm not sure."

"Do you think he would hurt me?"

"I don't think so. It will probably be like that one night. Just watch your back when I'm not around."

"Don't leave me."

"I won't, promise."

He smiled giving me a small kiss, holding me tighter for what he could. At that moment I realized I was in love with him. John was the guy for me.

"We never had sex. I only ever made love to you."

I pulled away so, I could look at him. He was smiling at me, as I moved closer and pressed my lips to his. He pulled me closer, but I pulled away not wanting to hurt him.

"Why did you do that?"

"I don't want to hurt you."

"You're not hurting me."

"Sure I'm not."

"You know, I love you."

"And I love you."

"Will you be my girlfriend again?"

"Yes."

He smiled; bring my lips to mine kissing me softly.
