■■CHAPTER FOURTY■■

**Delilah**

It's been nearly two weeks since I've been trapped in the hospital. With nothing to do besides stare out into the window, watch t.v, but luckily Danielle visited during the first week and brought my reading book and my lyric book as I asked.

I figured since I'm doing nothing and waiting for my bones to fully recover again, why not carry on with my song I've been working on....since I've got all the time in the world in this place.

But life in the hospital hasn't been all to bad. I mean it could of been worse, but I made a really good friend, Jane the nurse. Turns out she's the same age as I am, she dropped out of school to look after her sick mother and decided to go into nursing since she already had alot of practicing from home and we have quite alot in common.

During this two weeks I've learnt that she too dreamt of becoming a singer, but there was one tiny problem. She didn't have the time since she had her first child. I couldn't control my laughter as she told me about her story when she first auditioned for a solo song. She was so afraid the judges would hate her, she actually started to make animal noices instead.

Blake insisted after three days to never leave the hospital until I fully recovered, but I felt bad that he had to sleep on the uncomfortable chair beside my hospital bed. Claiming he was okay, but whenever he moved I heard a bone crack, similar to the one when you crack your knuckles.

I offered a few times that he could sleep next to me on the hospital bed, it wasn't the comfiest but it's the next best thing. But he said he was afraid he might hurt me by forgetting about my hip injury. It's already happened when he squeezed me too tight in a hug....twice. I know that's not his real reason. I can see it in his eyes, he still blames himself for what happened. Even if he had no control over it.

He finally agreed to go home and freshen up, but being as stubborn as he is only agreed to come back immediately in the mornimg. That's want I love about him.

Danielle couldn't come visit in a while since she went on a dance tour. I really do miss seeing her around. She is my bestfriend after all. She's more like a sister to be totally honest. But she makes sure she call everyday from Manhattan. I'm proud that she's following her true passion and pursuing the art of dance.

Grandma has also been calling daily since Blake called her and explained about my situation. He said he felt like she's the only family I hold close to me which she is and has the right to know. And I completely agree and thanked him for the kind gesture.

"Hey boy what you ganna do,
if you like me like I like you. So bet your money on me I'm gold, gold"

I sing and write new lyrics in my pink notebook. Tapping the pen on my book as I resing what I have so far in my head. I smile really proud that it's a working progress.

I hear a knock on the door and smile as I see Blake with Hazel in his arms. She smiles widely as she sees me.

"Dee!", she squeals stretching out her arms infront of her and Blake walks towards me.

The moment he places her on the bed she embraces me in a tight hug, accidentally kicking the side of my hip and I close my eyes sucking in a breathe at the amount of pain. Hazel immediately let's go and looks to me with guilt filled in her eyes. I turn to Blake and see his eyes furrow with concern.

"Did me hurt you?", Hazel asks with a gasp covering her mouth with both her hands.

"Are you okay?", Blake asks taking my hand in his. I nod squeezing his hand and turn my direction to Hazel.

"No I'm okay", I lie forcing a smile.

Her eyes land on my stomach and she traces the blue and purple bruise with her tiny fingers. "What happen?", she asks in her high pitches voice.

My eyes soften as I quickly think of something. "I never wanted to eat me vegetables so my body became weak. So promise me you going to eat your veggies", I say playfully narrowing my eyes and she nods 'yes' rapidly.

Blake's deep voice chuckles and he nods his head leaning against the window as he watched me intensively. His gaze not leaving him. I notice his wearing all black today and an electrical current goes up my spine. Especially the way his black leather jacket fitted perfectly as he stood with both hands in his pockets. Black looked good on him.....reallllllyyy good.

"What's this?", Hazel asks curiously as she hold my butterfly necklace in little hands.

"It's a butterfly", I answer with a smile.

"Like the one we saw in the park", she exclaims excitedly and I nod.

"Oh what a clever little girl you are", I compliment and she blushes.

I smile feeling Blake's stare on me. I look towards him holding his gaze and he smirks.

"I like butterflies", Hazel says playing with my necklace.

"And I like you", I tease pretending to pull her nose off and she giggles.

"Give it back Dee!", she giggles trying to undo my fist.

"Blake catch", I say pretending to throw it to him and he cups his hands in the air.

"Got it", he says with a smirk and she gasps before giggling.

"Don't drop it", she warns narrowing her eyes and I laugh at her cuteness.

"Yes be careful with her nose Blake", I say and he walks towards us' placing her nose back on' and she takes a deep breath of air.

"I can breathe again", she giggles and I tickle her.

"Quick, quick take Dee's nose!", she shouts to Blake and he walks over from the window.

Blake chuckles besides me before he places a kiss to my nose. I smile looking into his eyes, his face literally inches away from mine and his eyes appear a darker shade. A mischievous smiles takes over his features.

"Got your nose", he says placing his tongue against his cheeks creating a ball and Hazel bursts into a fit of giggles.

"Ewww it's in dad's mouth!", she screams scrunching her nose. It's literally the most adorable thing I've ever seen.

But my heart smoons as the word 'Dad' escapes her mouth and Blake places his hand on mine with a smile, placing a light kiss to my forehead.
