THREE WEEKS LATER
James walked into the hospital room surprised to see Kendall with a pen in his hand. It appeared that he was sketching in the notepad Katie had brought earlier in the week.
Feeling eyes on him, Kendall looked up and shot a million dollar smile at his boyfriend, before going back to his sketch.
James looked at the burns on Kendall's back, They were classified as fourth degree and he would carry them for the rest of his life. His nose was healing, and his black eyes were nothing but a faint yellow color. Taking a few steps closer he approached the bed and waited for Kendall to finish. After a few minutes he appeared to be done and flipped the notepad so James could see it.
James was shocked to see a beautiful drawing of him and Kendall holding hands walking into a hockey rink together, the details were amazing, the pads, the uniforms, every detail was flawless. Looking at Kendall he shot his boyfriend a puzzling look. Seeing the look Kendall looked back at the sketch in desire.
"It's the end of my book, I hope. I end up with the guy of my dreams, and we get to play hockey, for the rest of our lives together." James looked lovingly at Kendall
"I love the end of your book, I hope one day I can read all of it. But what got you to draw again?" Kendall sighed and flipped the pages so the cover was on the top, protecting the end of his precious drawing, before shrugging.
"I guess with all that's happened, my creative block was lifted. I can't believe I'm drawing again... I guess I didn't realize how much I missed it until I got it back. I mean... when I'm around my old life "Shay" kinda resurfaces, the hard-nosed ass kicking kid. But when I'm around you... I can just be me and I love that."
"You sound like you are two different people" Kendall nodded.
"I guess I kinda was, but you don't have to worry about that anymore, come sit down, the Blackhawks are on, and they are scheduled to kick some Wild butt!" James laughed and laid down next to his boyfriend. James looked down at the boy he was sure he loved. Even though Kendall had been through so much, he still had kept some traces of innocence left. And though they had a long way to go, James was sure this was the man he was going to spend the rest of his life with.
