"Her wounds are very severe, but with your healing rate she'll be just fine. I gave her some morphine for the pain. When she wakes up I want you to call me and I'll come right over with more morphine cause I can tell you right now, she'll be swearing like a sailor."

Relief flew over me & I was the happiest I've ever been in ages. She's gunna live. YES!!!!

Jacob POV:

What the hell is taking so long? Why hasn't she woken up yet? Is something wrong? It's almost been a week. All I know is if she doesn't wake up soon, I'm gunna have a freaking heart attack!

I gently put my hand on hers. She wasn't looking as good as new, but at least she wasn't as purple and blue anymore. She was healing rather nicely, but she still hadn't opened her eyes.

I brushed the hair off her face & just stared in awe. She was so beautiful it made my heart skip a beat every time I saw her. Maybe I could kiss her? I mentally asked myself. But what if she found out I kissed her when she was unconscious, told me I was a perv, punched me in the gut, and ran away? Then again, maybe it would be worth it.

I bent my head down so my lips were directly above hers.

"I love you, Leah." And, with that said, I softly pressed my lips to hers. I'm finally kissing Leah! rang out through my head. God, I love her. I was suddenly aware of a hand pressing gently on the back of my head. I broke the kiss and opened my eyes, only to find Leah staring into them.

"Leah you're awake! Oh, I'm so happy you're finally awake." I was holding her to me in a tight embrace, so she'd never go away.

"Yeah, maybe now I'll faint from the lack of oxygen going to my brain."

"Oops, sorry. I'm just so glad you finally opened your eyes. You had me worried there." I couldn't help but smile a big stupid grin at the goddess laying before me. I probably looked like Santa Clause on Prozac right now.

"Did you mean it? What you said before?"

She was talking about the 'I love you' thing I said wasn't she? Crap why'd she have to hear that?! Now she'll pry just make fun of me and tell me how stupid & hormone-raging I am.

"More than you'll ever know. You are so beautiful Leah, and you don't care to speak what's on your mind. I know it might seem stupid, but I love our little insults/comebacks thing we do. You always know how to make me laugh and to tell you the truth, I don't think I can go one more day without being able to hold you in my arms."

She was just staring at me with no expression whatsoever. I was about to get up, when she pulled my face down to hers and kissed me with so much passion I thought the room was going to burst.

When she finally released me, she looked into my eyes and told me the words that I've been dying to hear.

"I love you too Jake."

Voilà. I hope you liked it. This little tale was just a short story that had been running through my mind for a while, and now that I've finally written it down, I hope you enjoyed it too :)
