Chapter 7
Shay's P.O.V.
I awoke in a hospital room, a tube in my arm and an oxygen tube
under my nose. How did I get here? Then I saw Dustin asleep on a
chair in the corner and the memory came flooding back: how I
almost drowned, how Chase kissed me, and how Dustin saved me from
him. I shuddered. I then went into a coughing attack and
Dustin's eyes shot open. He rushed over to my bed and kneeled
dow. "How are you feeling, baby?" He whispered. I liked
it when he called me baby, no one else. "Uhh okay, I
guess." I moaned back. He took me had and and kissed it and
I smiled. "I love it when you smile."He told me.
We sat there, grinning at eachother for a couple minutes
and then I broke the silence: "Thank you." "For
what?' he asked. "For saving me from Chase and bringing
me here. I thought you would be mad." "Why would I ever
be mad at you, Shay? You did nothing wrong." He looked me in
the eyes as he spoke. "How much did you see?" I
questioned closing my eyes, trying to forget the memory.
"Enough to know that you were in trouble and that Chase kid
is gonna get it." He said, gritting his teeth at the last
part. "He is not worth it babe." I replied. "Yeah
I know," he said and paused for a moment, "but
you are." I stared at him with bright eyes. "I love
you, Dustin." I said, and as I did a feeling of complete joy
came over me. I had never said that to anyone before, but I knew
that I truly meant it. "I love you too Shay." He said
right back. Then he leaned in and kissed my lips ever so gently,
like he was afraid he was going to break me if he touched me any
more. I smiled through the kiss and pulled him down closer to me.
If I wasn't in this hospital bed with tubes inserted in me, I
would have jumped into his arms, but this moment felt just as
special anyways. He pulled away, and kissed my forehead then took
a seat next to my bed. Just then a doctor came in. "Hi Shay,
I'm Dr. Gonzalez," She told me, "how are you?"
"Good," I replied. After that kiss I felt really good.
"I'm glad to hear it," she said, "After some
tests we noticed that you had water in your lungs and a lack of
oxygen in your brain. I can put you on medication, however, and
you will be just fine." She smiled. "So when can I
leave?" I asked with an eager voice. Dr. Gonzalez and Dustin
both laughed. "I can discharge you tonight, Shay." And
with that she left. We sat there in silence for a little while,
just holding hands. I closed my eyes and was thinking about my
dad. Why wasn't he here? Maybe he was at work. It was
Wednesday after all. Good, I don't want him to worry about
me. He doesn't have to know about this incident yet. Man, I
really haven't been telling the truth a lot lately. Okay. I
am going to introduce Dustin to my dad tomorrow night. Dustin
must have wondered why I was so quiet and asked, "Everything
alright?" "Oh ya, I was just thinking. Tomorrow night I
am going to introduce you to my father."
