One week later, when I came back from school on Thursday, I saw my parents talking with Sebastian's father, all of them with a worried expression. I walked towards them and I placed my hand in my father's shoulder.
–Hey, what happened? Where's Sebastian? –In the past, I've never imagined myself being worried because of him.
–Honey… Seb fell down stairs, and he's now in the hospital with her mother. –My dad said. I opened my mouth surprised and I gave a sad look to his father.
–Oh my God, is he okay…? Please tell me he is fine!
–Oh, dear, he is, but he broke his leg and he will probably be in bed for a long time. He also hit his head on the floor, but he's as fine as he can be. –The man answered– Look, now I'm about to go the hospital, if you want you can come with me and see him. –I nodded and I made my way to Mr. Smythe's car, after saying goodbye to my parents. Twenty minutes later we arrived and we got into Sebastian's room. Unfortunately, he was asleep. His mother was by his side, stroking his hair.
–Hello, Anna…–Mr. Smythe said to his wife, walking towards her. He took her hand and squeezed it.
–Hello Simon… our baby is still asleep. Hello, Santana, I bet Sebastian would love to know that you are here. –I smiled.
–Hello Mrs. Smythe… how is him?
–You can call me Anna. And, well, he's fine, I suppose. I hope he awakes soon…
–Me too…–I said, most to myself than to Anna.
–Dear, do you want a coffee? –The woman said to his husband. He nodded
–Yes, I'll go with you. Santana, can you stay here while we go for a coffee? We'll be away just for fifteen minutes.
–I'll be here. –I said, nodding once. They nodded as well and got out of the room. I sat next to Sebastian's bed and I took his hand. –Twink, wake up, wake up please... please–I said as I strongly closed my eyes, squeezing his hand. I felt he was moving his fingers and then he squeezed my hand too. – Sebastian…? – He slowly opened his eyes and looked around confused.
–Where am I? –he asked dizzily.
–In the hospital… you fell down stairs. –I said, placing a hand on his hair.
–Oh… and who are you?
–…You don't know who I am? –I looked at him shocked. Sebastian laughed and I frowned.
–Of course I do. You believed my cruel joke.
–You're a jerk… I'm actually worried about you and you come with that joke. It's not funny. –he looked at me smiling and chuckled slightly, I folded my arms rolling my eyes.
–I find really cute that fact that you care about me.
–Of course I do, I-I li-like you. –I said stuttering. He held my hand and with the other he stroked my cheek.
–I'll be fine, I guess. But my legs hurt a lot… and my head. Where are my parents?
–They went for a coffee. They will be back soon.
–For the very first time, I hope they don't.
–Why? –I asked, raising my eyebrow.
–I just want you to be by my side… –he said shyly. I smiled widely.
–I could say to your parents that you have a contagious cold. –He laughed and I smiled.
–Shut up and kiss me, Lopez. –Placing my hand on his hair, I kissed him gently. After a minute, we pulled back and Sebastian's parents got into the room. I looked at him and he raised both eyebrows; I bit my lip and smiled.
–Sebastian is awake. –I said happily to them. Simon Smythe smiled to me; they walked towards Sebastian and hugged him tightly. Their son hugged them back and I could see how happy he was in their arms.
–The doctor said you can go home tomorrow, but you have to stay on bed for a month, honey…–Anna said to Sebastian.
–A month?! What will I do one month in bed?
–Well, son, it could have been worse. Your friend Santana is your neighbor, I bet she will visit you frequently. –I mentally laughed about the 'friend' word.
–Of course, as much as I can. –I said smiling and I covertly winked to Sebastian. He smiled me back.
–You see? The problem is solved. –Simon said.
–Well, I don't want to break the family moment, so I will go back home. Goodbye everybody! –I greeted.
–Goodbye Santana, God bless you. –Anna told me, squeezing my hand. I smiled to her and then to Sebastian, after that I walked out of the room. Sebastian's parents turned their look to him, and I made a 'call me' gesture to my lover. "My lover… yes...
It was ten o' clock when I decided to go to bed, and two hours passed and I was still awake. My mind couldn't stop thinking about Sebastian, about his smile, the way he kissed and what we happened to him. In that moment, I got a text from him.
"Are you still awake…?"
"Yes… what are you doing, why aren't you sleeping?" I texted him back.
"I tried but I can't."
"Neither do I."
"Why?" He asked.
"I'm thinking way too much…"
"Thinking on what?" He said. I gulped.
"About you." I sent to him.
"I wish you were by my side, Santana…"
"Tomorrow. Just wait until tomorrow…"
After that text, I got a call from him. I answered.
–Hello? –I said in low voice.
–Hello, it's me…–he replied.
–Is everything fine?
–I just wanted to hear your voice, because I miss you.
–I miss you too, and it's has been just four hours since the last time we saw each other.
–Santana… you mean more of what you think for me. I know it's corny, but it's true. Let me into your heart, I beg you… I don't really know what's happening to me right now, but I just feel the urgency of tell you what you mean to me…
–You already are in my heart, and all I can feel and think is about you. –I heard him gulping.
–It's better if I try to sleep, but I'll probably stay up all night. Bye… Promise me you will come to visit me tomorrow.
–I promise…
I couldn't sleep in the whole night, because of my heart that was beating way too fast. I couldn't pay attention at school, or even in the Glee Club, all what I wanted was to go to Sebastian's house. I skipped my cheerios practice because I couldn't wait any more time. I took the first bus and I went to his home.
–Santana, hello. Sebastian is in his room. Come in. –Anna said. I just nodded and walked in. I went upstairs quickly and I knocked on his door.
–Sebastian, it's me, Santana.
–Come in, come in. –he told me. I opened the door and he was smiling. I closed it, and ran to him.
I placed both of my hands in his cheeks and I kissed him deeply; he held me tightly against his chest, kissing me back passionately. I moved a hand to his hair, caressing it gently while he was stroking my back. Until that day, I've never felt so many emotions together, and I've never needed someone as much as I needed him in that moment. I pulled back and I kissed his neck slowly.
–I need you so much, Sebastian…–I whispered.
–Santana, I'll seriously lose my mind…
–Then we will lose it together…–I stared into his eyes and he returned me the look.
–I don't really know how is being in love, but I think I love you… I can't stop thinking about you; I can't sleep since the first time we kissed. And every time you look at me or you say my name, it feels like no one is there, except us. You are all that I can see.–he admitted.
–I thought I knew what was being in love… but I never did; until now. You took my heart and since that time we made love, Sebastian, I can't live without you anymore. I love you, and I'm not afraid of saying it. I love you…
–And I love you too…–he said as he kissed me tenderly, and since then, he and I never parted.
