If This Was a Movie, I'd be Dead by Now
Chapter 8
I woke up to a tap on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and quickly realized that I was in the hospital. I was really confused before I remembered what happened. I looked up at the doctor standing in front of me.
"Are you here for Jaime Preciado?" he asked bluntly.
"Yes," I replied.
"Follow me," he said turning around and walking to a door. I got up quickly and followed him. After we walked through halls for what seemed hours we arrived at a door and he opened it. I looked in and saw Jaime laying in a hospital bed asleep with a bunch of machines hooked up to him.
"You can go in, we will in and out checking on him," said the doctor. I just now took the time to read the name tag. It read Dr. Williams. I nodded and walked in.
I pulled one of the chairs closer to the bed and sat down.
"This is all my fault," I said as I put my head in my hands. I couldn't help it, I started sobbing. Took his left hand in mine. Thankfully I sat on the side of his not broken arm.
I sat there for about an hour and a half and watched doctors come and go until I felt Jaime move. I looked up to see that he was waking up. He looked over at me and grinned his silly grin. He always seemed to find a way to smile genuinely.
"I'm so sorry" I cried as I got up to hug him. He sat up to hug me back.
"It's okay, it's not your fault," he said calmly. I sat down next to him on the bed.
"It really is if you hadn't-" I started only to be cut off by Jaime.
"If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be as happy as I am now" he smiled, "I 've never really had many friends and I've set a new record of friends thanks to you."
I opened my mouth to argue but shut it knowing there was no way I would win this one. Not against Jaime.
"Thank you," he said smiling triumphantly.
"Jaime, I'm so sorry" I cried curling into his chest. I started sobbing and he rubbed my back.
"Shhh, its okay" he soothed. We just sat there like that for a few minutes.
"Celosia!" Jaime almost yelled bringing my face up from his chest so he could look he in the eyes "You are not a horrible person at all. In fact, you are an amazing, wonderful, caring beautiful person."
"What?" I asked honestly confused.
"You were just mumbling about horrible of a person you were," he said.
"Ohh," I said as I felt my face going red. I didn't even realize I was saying anything. Then something happened that I never expected to.
Jaime cupped his hand around my face and planted his lips on mine. This kiss was quick and sweet before Jaime pulled away. I looked at him and saw his face was bright red and he looked down.
"I'm sorry" he mumbled not meeting my eyes. I pushed his head up and planted my lips on his. This time, it was longer. Well, it lasted until I was out of breath and had to pull away. I was sweet and meaningful. His lips were the softest thing I have ever felt and I loved it.
I curled up next to him and he put his arm around me.
He kissed the top of my head before asking "Celosia, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course Himes," I said. I didn't even have to think about it. I sat up enough to peck him on the cheek. I curled back up and he laid his head on top of mine. With that we both fell asleep.
