I come to the hospital every day after school, and I stay almost all day on weekends, and three weeks later I find myself walking back to Brenna's room. I move through the door and see I'm the only one there, bags and jackets liter the chairs, so I'm guessing everyone just went down to the cafeteria…
I sit down in the chair right next to Brenna's and slide my hand over hers.
"Hey Bren… It's me again…" I pause when I feel the familiar glassy covering coming to my eyes.
"I just want you to know how much I miss you… it's been 3 weeks, and I'm still here, and I don't plan on leaving your side…" I whisper caressing her hand, as I stare at her, she just seems so lifeless… But the heart monitor beeping softly tells me she's still here… Even if she's not awake.
I glance down at the floor, a smile plays on my lips.
"I remember the day you challenged me to a tennis match, just so you could get out of doing our project together, I totally underestimated you that day… I thought the match was going to be a piece of cake, but of course, you proved me wrong…" I pause with a sigh as I watch Brenna breathe slowly, in and out.
"I think that was when I really started to fall for you… Even though I lost the match, seeing that smile made me feel like I'd won…" I chuckle softly, as I continue, "even if you were just imitating me." I rub my thumb gently across the back of her hand, as I sniff softly as I feel the tears sliding slowly down my face.
"And then when sat together during the showing of 'Pretty In Pink'… It seems like fate was always bringing us together… Or in this case fate was Beth." I chuckle softly, "and when I got to hold you for the first time… I never wanted to let you go." I whisper quietly, closing my eyes.
"I knew no matter what it took, I just wanted to make you happy…" I sniff again, feeling the sadness building inside me as I look at the girl in the hospital bed… The girl who means more to me than anything in the world.
"When I caught you in my room with Kieran it broke my heart… And I tried avoiding you, because looking at you, just broke my heart even more, but that night…" I pause as a small smile plays on my lips.
"When you kissed me… All that heartbreak went away, and I knew, you felt the same… I could feel all the passion you wanted to convey in that simple kiss." I smile, softly remembering the feeling of her lips against mine, but the pain in my chest returns, realizing the next time I get to kiss those lips will be in an undetermined time in the future.
"And when you took care of me after the whole, "Natalie" incident, I fell for you even harder…" I whisper softly pausing to just watch her chest move slowly up and down.
I bite my lip softly, my voice shaking softly.
"I just… I just want you back here with me… I just want you…" I whisper my voice cracking slightly, as the tears begin to fall harder and harder.
"I need you Brenna, I miss you so much… I miss the sound of your laugh, and the curve of your smile… "I lean my head down onto the bed, closing my eyes, I don't even sit up when I hear the door open.
"I love you Brenna… I love you so much… I just want you back… Please, you've gotta fight…" I say softly, my words muffled by the fact I am face down on the bed.
I feel a gentle hand rubbing slowly up and down my back, but it immediately stops when I hear a loud gasp, I glance up to see Ms. Carver bringing her hands up to her mouth, and Brenna's grandmother wide eyed.
To my amazement, I hear a soft, weak voice whisper.
"I love you too…" She rasps out softy, I slowly turn to see those eyes I fell in love with, shining as they lock with mine.
