I never realized how much it means to be away from someone who you love. Yes love. I've said it. It might have taken me a while and everything I've been through to get to this point. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't help falling and falling hard. I'm not afraid to admit it anymore.

I am in love with Jaxon Daniel Williams.



" Oh God Lina" Jaxon's hand were wrapped tightly around my body and I could feel his heart hammering in his chest. My arms were fastened around his neck and his smell was enveloping us. His face was in the crook of my neck and I couldn't help but smile. It felt so damn good.

He pulled back a little and looked at me, his baby blue eyes traveled down my body then back up to meet my amused eyes.

" I don't see whats funny about this Sunshine. You almost died and you-" I didn't let him continue. I did what I had been wanting to do since the second I woke up.

And I kissed him like I was drowing and he was the only breath of air.

The moment my lips touched his soft ones he immediately wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to his chest. I could feel my stomach twisting and turning but in a good way. Like a girl butterfly and a boy butterfly met and they hand butterfly babies and.... well yea that good way.

My hands ran through his hair and I felt him smile. I couldn't help but smile back as his hand cupped my neck. His thumb moved along my cheek and my stomach lurched again. Before we could get much further, Jaxon pulled back, much to my dismay.

" As much as I would like to keep going, you just woke up from more than a week long coma Sunshine." He was breathing heavily but that didn't let his perverted side shine through. " As much I would like too, you aren't up for those kinds of actives " I felt the heat crawl up my neck and onto my cheeks. I knew what activities he was referring to but I'm just going to ignore him. Before I could say much more, Jaxon reached a finger under my chin and pulled my eyes up to meet his. His humor faded and he had a serious look on his face.

" Never do that again Sunshine. Please." I don't think I have ever heard the word please come out of his mouth as much as I have in the past month. He wasn't that type of person. He doesn't apologize for much. But here he was begging me the politest way he knows.

I reached my hand up to touch his face. I placed it on his cheek and rubbed it with my thumb softly. He leaned into my touch and he put his forehead against mine. This was such a simple yet intimate moment for us.

" I'll try" he slips tipped into a smile and it was contagious. A smile played on my lips for why felt like the fifth time in 10 minutes. I can't help it.

" You know everyone is asking where you parents are and why they aren't here." Of course they were. I looked down and dropped my hands down into my lap. No one knew that my parents were dead and I haven't even told Jaxon who I really am. I don't even know where to begin or how to tell them I've been lying to them for almost a year.
Jaxon noticed my tension and grabbed one of my hands, caressing it with his warm ones. He placed a piece of hair behind my ear and waited for me to say something but I didn't know what to say.

" I-I" I still looked down.
" It's okay Sunshine you don't have to tell them yet." He seemed ok with the fact that I didn't want to tell them. But I knew when I tell him he's going to be angry that I've lied for so long.

" It's not just them that I have to tell Jax." Jaxon's eyebrows scrunched in confusion. He looked me and his eyes were filled with surprise, confusion and worry. I don't want him to worry about me, but I knew that he was going to no matter how hard I protested.

" What are- " a tear slipped down my face and I quickly wiped it away.

" Lina?" A familiar voice brought my head up and looked towards the door. Saura stood at the door with wide blue eyes and her hands over her mouth. Before I could say anything she ran into the room and jumped onto the bed with me, hugging me gently. I could see Jaxon's slightly tense face in the corner of my eye.

He was angry that I'm keeping something from him.

" Oh my goodness Lina!!! I'm so happy your awake!! I- we all have missed you so much" I laughed a little at her excited expression.

" I've missed you too Saura." I glanced at Jax, who had back up to the wall and stood there with his arms crossed and an unreadable expression on his face.

" Aw Saura don't cry I'm fine." She laughed as a few tears had fallen from her face.
" I know I know but Lina" He face began to get sadder and she looked depressed.
" I watched him shoot you Lina. It was the worst thing that I've ever seen and I felt completely helpless and -" I cut her off.

" I'm fine now. " Her shoulders slumped.
" But you weren't"
" But I am now." She gave me a small smile and hugged me one more time.


"Good" She hugged me one last time before hopping off the bed. She looked between Jaxon and I and gave me a look. She smirked a little and backed up to the door a little.

" Well. I 'm just gonna go and tell people that you are awake and leave you two" She was smiling wickedly looking between the two of us. " to you know finish whatever I interrupted. " Before either of us could say anything she giggled and ran out the door but then turning around halfway out. " Don't forget protection kids. Don't be silly wrap you willy!" She ran out of the room and left my red face. I could see that Jaxon tried hard not to smile, but the second Saura was completely gone his lips turned into a line again.

For a minute the rom was completely silent. Neither of us said a word. I didn't know how I would even begin to tell him or even where to start.

" I never wanted it to get this far." I broke the silence. My eyes never met his, they stayed looking down at my fidgeting hands in my lap. " I never meant to fall for you. I was going to stay until graduation, get my trust fund and leave this godforsaken state. " I rubbed my hands over my face, the IV pitching my skin a little.

" Do you still want to leave?" I looked up at Jax. His voice was slightly hurt but he covered it up. He couldn't hide what was in his eyes though, there's to much emotion in them to even try. He was stilled leaned against the white hospital wall with his arms crossed. His lips were formed in a thin line and he was trying hard not to say something.

" I-I don't know. " I hadn't really thought much about leaving since I've been here. I really hadn't. Everything with Jaxon has had my mind a little fogged lately.

He scoffed and ran a hand through his tossed brown hair. I leaned back against the pillows wanting so badly to bury my face in them and never come out again

" Wow Evangelina. Wow. You don't know? Really? Were you just going to get up and leave and not even tell me. Just one day your here and the next your not. "

I flinched at my name. He said it angrily and I understood. But how could I have known he cared. about be. Until know I thought he hated my guts.

" You hated me, I didn't think you would've cared!" my voice rose and I let out a heavy sigh as Jaxon moved off the wall. His hands were on his face and through his hair. He finally dropped them and met my eyes. I could see the hurt in his eyes.

" You wanna know what would've happened if you left? I would go fucking insane Lina. I would loose my mind. Wanna know why?" He paused for a seance leaving me wonder. HE stepped closer to my bed.

" Because I'm in love with you Sunshine and I have a feeling that you feel the same way. "
