Chapter Seven

I could feel warm arms holding me as my eyes began to flutter open. I shook the sleep from my head and noticed the cold hospital room that Spencer was now occupying. I turned my head up and saw her beautiful face turned to the side with her eyes shut.

I glanced over at the clock and saw that it was well into the afternoon. I must have fallen asleep after I told Spencer how I felt.

I lifted my hand and traced one of the scratches on Spencer’s soft skin. She shivered as my finger trailed along the broken skin and I leaned up to kiss it softly. If I could kiss all her pain away I would but I knew that no amount of kissing could fix all the damage that had been done at Prom.

She moved her head and opened her eyes slowly to find me looking at her intently. I wasn’t sure how close she would let me get so I was fearful of overstepping my bounds. She was still upset over the whole Aiden thing and I didn’t blame her one bit.

She smiled softly and kissed my forehead stroking my hair softly with her hand. I couldn’t help but grin back at her reveling in the loving touch she was giving me.

“Good morn…I mean Good Afternoon sweetie…” I said remembering what time it was.

“Good afternoon to you too…”

“I guess we fell asleep…” I said stating the obvious.

“Yeah…but for once I was actually able to sleep….without…seeing Clay…” She closed her eyes tightly.

“Shh…baby…shhh…just try to clear your mind…” I said softly stroking her cheek.

She nodded her head and took a deep breath to help compose herself. She tightened her hold around my body I guess trying to reassure her subconscious that I was really there.

“I’m not going anywhere…” I whispered into her shoulder.

“I know…” She said kissing my forehead.

I could hear muffled shouting coming from the hallway and picked my head up to see what was going on. We both watched as the door flung open and Kyla ran inside closing the door quickly. She was out of breath and Spencer and I looked at one another before looking back at my sister.
