cal's pov

me and cecily yelped as jack grabbed his phone recognizing his ringtone, which was some rock song. he clicked on the number as me and cecily went on both sides of jack and put our ears to the phone.

it was from the hospital about lily waking up, jack immediately hung up and grabbed his keys and the three of us basically dashed out of the house and into the car which was the same car that lily drove a while ago. we got to the hospital at almost 80 miles an hour and luckily there was no police officers on duty, because jack would get a speeding ticket immediately in a 45 zone.

we got out of the car and the three of us almost tripped running to where lily's room was and when we got there we all were breathing heavily at catching our breaths. when we got to lil's room sure shit there she was, awake.

i guess it was my turn to jump when my phone vibrated and i saw it was borgie one of my 'few' friends beside, cecily, eden, lily, sawyer and zachary. he isn't the greatest but he also isn't the worst, if anything he doesn't really stay out of everyone's business. he likes to know everything if he actually doesn't.

borgie: i heard what happened to lily, and i am sorry about it. but i got good news, ronnie and vic got arrested by this dude, so that's a good thing.

me: thanks man i really appreciate it hope we never see those fuckers again.

borgie: how is she? is she dead, and or alive?

me: she's alive she just woke up from being in a coma for a while.

borgie: that's rad, glad she is okay and awake.

me: yeah me too i'd be devastated if something happened to her, we've been buds for a long time as she is more like a sister to me.

borgie: yeah i know what you mean, but ttyl mom is making dinner

i am glad to hear that those motherfuckers got arrested by jack's friend, hope to see them in court. as they deserve what is coming for them. never thought i'd see those fuckers behind bars.

i heard mumbled words as i turned and saw sleeping beauty herself, as i broke into a big smile in a long time. i moved a couple strains behind her ear as she moved a little when she was in the coma, and also when the nurses were coming in here.

"hey, lil," i say as i kissed her forehead as i felt her hand on my arm. i sat back down and grabbed her hand and held it in mine. i am just glad that she's alright, because it's basically a miracle that she survived the attack, because typically people with those types of injuries they don't survive and die upon impact.

i would have been devastated if something happened to lily if she hadn't survived. because me and her have been friends since practically diapers as we were there for each other growing up.

i was there for her when her mom died of cancer when she was a kid. she was there for me when my father decided to leave. granted yes, i wasn't close to him but i cried for a couple of days. that was when we were about eight.

yeah we've been to hell and back through the years, as she is always my partner in crime. we do everything together and we always will. is it bad enough that i haven't told her i loved her. i just can't build up the courage to do so.

"hey," lily whispers to me as she has a breathing tube down her throat to help her breathe. i smile at her as i held her hand in mine.

"hey butthead," i say to her with a smile, i squeezed her hand a little as it was just me and her in the room as everyone else went down to the cafeteria to get food. or something like that, i don't know i wasn't paying attention.

"i'm not dead, that's a good thing," she says as i chuckled a little at her joke. she may be in the hospital feeling like shit and here you go her bad timing jokes.

"yeah, glad you aren't, because my best friend wouldn't be here," i say to her as she is under anesthesia and is most likely high on that, so this will be hilarious.

she looked at me like i just offended her and it was pure priceless at seeing. she narrowed her eyes at me as she looked down at her lap.

"wait who is your best friend?" she asks me as j couldn't help but laugh as it was definitely the anesthesia kicking in. i held my hands over my chest to keep myself from laughing more, but i couldn't help it.

"uh, you," i say to her as she looks at me like i'm crazy, then she looked back down at me.

"that's not what happened in my dream," she says as she puts her hands on her knees. i look at her like she's crazy, as i tilt my head in confusion.

"what was it like?" i ask her aa i rub my finger on her right arm. this time she doesn't even look at me, as it makes me wonder.

"you, uh, um, told uh me, that you um, loved, uh um me," lily says as i nod my head at her then i look at her. i said i loved her.

"wow," i say to her with a smile on my face as i haven't processed what happened.

third person's pov

after lily told cal what happened in her dream he was struck with emotions, as he couldn't believe that happened in lily's 'dream' while she was in her coma. he almost wanted to cry but he held it in. course he has always loved her since they first met but he was a kid and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of lily.

lily looked at cal as she saw he had a single tear rolling down his cheek as she gently used her hand to wipe it away. that got his attention as they both made eye contact, not knowing what to say to each other.

"do you, love me," lily asks as her voice cracked a little from it being a little hoarse earlier, as she looked directly into cal's brown eyes.

she didn't expect what happened next. he kissed her.

so that happened. lets go to the next chapter.
