Chapter 12

SPOV

When I opened my eyes I saw my favorite person, Avi.

He was in my hospital bed and had his arm around me. My sheets were rustled about and the top sheets were over the both of us.

He didn't have his shirt on, and from what I can tell, he was without his boxers as well. I smiled and shook him.

"Avi?" I said with a lower voice.

"Yeah?" he said jerking awake. He had a frightened tone so I ran my hand over his broad chest, "its ok babe, just thought you might want to put on your boxers".

I giggled and he blushed, "Maybe".

We laughed a moment then just held hands. My hands were significantly smaller then his, but that was expected.

I ran my fingers over his palms and finally let them lay on my stomach. Eventually he got up, and dressed himself.

He sat in my father's chair next to me. I lay there smiling at him.

"What?" he asked.

"We…had sex…" I said in disbelief.

"Yes, yes we did" he smiled.

All I could do was grin at him. Avi was my first…amazing really…I fall in love with this man that quickly.

We sat and smiled at each other until my dad came in with a bag.

"Stash I got clothes for you to change into…" he started, but saw Avi and switched gears. "Shouldn't you be in school son?"

"Yes, but I needed to see her before she left" Avi said sadly.

My dad's expression softened then he stiffened again, "you should leave boy, and she has to get ready for her long flight".

I looked down, "I'm so sorry Avi, and I'll only be a minute. Just wait outside with my dad" I encouraged.

The two left me alone in my room. The bag my dad left me had clothes I apparently had already laid out before the accident.

It was a pair of tight pink jeans and a loose fit t-shirt that I thought was a little boring. I brushed my hair back with a comb from the bag.

I zipped it up and took one last look at the room then turned to leave. I opened the door and they were closer than I expected.

Avi's eyebrows said everything about his mood, he was pissed. My dad's expression was stone cold, "Stacia, say your goodbyes. Our flight is at 2:00 p.m." then he walked away.

Avi never loosened his mood but softened his expression when I smiled, "I love you Avi" I said hugging him.

He pulled me amazingly close and whispered in my ear, "I love you too".

I hugged him hard then pulled away. He pulled me to him for one last kiss…

Then he smiled at me, and I smiled back. I then started down the hallway.

"Don't forget me" Avi yelled down the hallway after me.

I turned and responded, "Never". With a smile he looked down at his feet and headed the other way.

I kept walking down the hallway till I found my father. He smiled, "you ready?"

"I don't have a choice" I said following him out the lobby door.

Goodbye Chats-win…goodbye Avi Capella…I love you and I will never forget you…
