Leonard was sitting quietly beside my hospital bed, it was an awkward silence so I decided to ask him exactly what I wanted to, "Why are you here Leonard?" he looked up and the smile that was on his face faded slightly, just for a minute, but still I seen it disappear for a split second, "Well it's a long story." he shrugged his shoulders, I knew that was the best answer I was going to get out of him for the question.

Before long my parents walked into the room, "Sara, baby girl, I'm so glad you're awake!" my dad was the first to hug me, then my mom came around him, tears in her eyes, "I love you so much sweet heart." she said as she brushed a bit of my hair out of my face, "I love you guys too." I smiled up at them before glancing over at Leonard, "Now what happened?" I asked a bit annoyed that Leonard blew me off when I asked him earlier.

My mom and dad looked back and forth between each other before explaining what Lewis did trying to save Laurel and Lisa from the car after getting me out, "He gave his life trying to save your sister and Lisa." dad started to tear up a little as he said that, "That's why Leonard's here." I stated rather than question, but still my mom repeated what I said as an answer.

We were sitting in the room in silence for a while until my dad spoke up, "Leonard I thought you were supposed to be at work tonight, why are you here?" he sounded a bit mad, "I just stopped by to drop off something for Sara's birthday before work, I called off as soon as she woke up." he answered quickly, "What did you bring me?" I asked as soon as he said that and he made his way over to a table in the corner of the room that was covered in flowers.

Leonard pulled a small blue bear out from behind a bunch of faded fake flowers, he also grabbed a bouquet of blue and white flowers bringing them over to where I could see them, when I looked closer they were roses, not false ones, real, freshly cut and extremely beautiful.

I was looking at the flowers "Where did you get these?" I asked looking at the roses and noticing they were the same colors that his eyes consisted of, minus the white roses, "I had a friend that owed me a favor." he said plainly and calmly sat back down, I told him how much I loved them, he just smiled down at the floor, if I didn't know better I would've even said he blushed a bit.

A while later my mom, dad and Leonard said goodbye and left  me there to think, the doctor said I would have to stay one last night, then I could go home, back to school in three days, my first thought went to how much Leonard has changed, he got quite a bit taller, at least he looked taller than I remembered, his hair was a bit longer, he didn't look like himself, he looked rather cold, his eyes, they weren't filled with happiness anymore, sure he smiled but his eyes gave away what he was really feeling, sadness.
