"Why did you do it?" Punk asked, in a soft tone, looking into AJ's eyes.
"I let you go. I love you and I let you go." AJ responded in a whisper.
"You may have let me go AJ, but...I hope you realize that despite that, we can be friends. I'll always be here for you, despite anything that has happened between us." Punk replied.
AJ saw the sincerity in his eyes. She knew Punk meant what he said, but she wondered how in the world Punk could possibly want to be around her, even when she was a mess.
"Thanks." AJ said.
"So...how are you?" Punk asked.
"I've been better. Do you know if the hospital has any chocolate chip cookies around here?" AJ said, but then pouted when she didn't see any chocolate chip cookies.
"I'll check. Always getting sugar, somehow." Punk said, while rolling his eyes playfully.
"You just don't understand the ways of sugar." AJ said, while sticking out her tongue playfully.
"Go get those cookies!" AJ yelled out loudly.
"Alright, Cookie Monster...I'll be back in, maybe 10 to 15 minutes." Punk said. He took AJ's left hand, the one that was wrapped up on the wrist, entwining their fingers and kissed her hand.
After that, he smiled, one that AJ returned, and then headed to the door to go down to the cafeteria to look not only for the chocolate chip cookies, but for something to eat for himself.
After 10 minutes of walking around the cafeteria, Punk was able to get himself a sandwich, a bag of Hot Cheetos, and a can of Pepsi. Luckily he was also able to find 3 chocolate chip cookies for AJ.
Punk got inside the elevator and made his way to AJ's room.
Knock. Knock.
"Come in." AJ said in a calm tone, trying not to seem impatient over how long it was taking Punk to find the chocolate chip cookies.
Punk walked in and made his way to the left side of the hospital bed where a chair was.
"I found them." Punk said eagerly, feeling proud of himself when he heard a high pitch squeal from AJ.
"Thanks, Punk." AJ replied.
They ate in silence, a comfortable silence though. After they ate, Punk cleaned up and returned to his
"Punk." AJ whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Can we start...over? Can we try to rebuild our relationship? It's fine if you don't, I understa-" AJ rambled on until she heard Punk's voice.
"Yes." Punk answered.
"Yes?" AJ asked confused.
"Yes, I'm willing to rebuild our relationship."
"Really? Punk, I'm glad you're willing to give us another chance." AJ replied.
"Since we're rebuilding our relationship...I think you should have this." Punk said. He held out his hand. AJ gasped.
"The necklace." AJ said while looking into Punk's green eyes. Punk nodded and put the necklace in AJ's left hand.
