Words Left Unspoken
Chapter 22
Collin's POV
I quickly looked up at her and whispered, "Oh, well, it wasnt exactly fun.." She frowned and said, "When you did come?" I halfsmiled, "Laur, I came everyday after school, and visited you." Her jaw dropped and I laughed a bit, "Collin, what did you do every single day for 3 months?" I looked down at the noodles I was stirring then up at her, "I uh, I brought my homework with me, and I talked to you everyday, as if.. you were awake.. I even asked you for help on my math some.. I felt like you could hear me.. and I thought maybe... I could hear you.." Lauren smiled and said, "That must have been hard to do.." I smiled and said, "It became routine, I brought you gifts for Christmas, from friends, I brought you gifts on you're birthday, I would check out your favorite books on the weekends, and Uh, I would read them to you." She frowned, "What about your friends?" I smirked, "They werent as important, and the only one that was, found new friends." She mouthed 'Josh' and I nodded my head. She frowned again. "What did you get me for my birthday?" I shrugged and said, "A necklace." Her head shot down and she saw the gold necklace she had been wearing. It was an infinity sign, it was covered in diamonds and on the back it was engraved, 'Lauren and Collin'... She looked up at me, "I had it specially made.. I wanted it to symbolize, I would always be there for you.." She smiled ear to ear, "I love it." I smiled back, "I'm glad." She laughed and said, "What about Christmas?" I laughed and whistled. A tan colored maltese ran around the corner barking. I smiled as Lauren fell to the floor screaming, "Collin Tanner, you did not." I smiled even bigger, "Oh but I did.." She stood up and hugged me tighter than ever before, "What'd you name it?" I smiled and said, "I named him Max.. Its not very original bu-" Lauren cut me off, "BUT I love it" I smiled and she laughed at me, "Thank you Collin, I've always wanted a dog." I smiled and whispered, "I know.. And You're welcome, you deserve him.." She smiled and kissed me quick, sitting back down with the small dog in her lap. She looked up again, "So on with the story. Why did you keep coming back?" I halfsmiled, "Lauren, the last thing you said to me was, 'Collin Tanner, love is a strong word, talk to me when you figure out what it means..'" Lauren frowned and I kept going, "Lauren, I figured it out, I figured out what love meant as soon as the car collided with yours. You know why?" She shook her head and I went on, "Because part of me broke. I didnt realize until maybe a week later that it was love, but when I did, I drove straight to the hospital. I ran into your room and for 2 hours I explained to your unconcious self what ove was, and how mjuch I needed you and how much I loved you... Lauren that day.. was the worst day.. You know what the nurses did? The offered me 'happy pills' cuz they thought you weren't gonna wake up, and I was talking to a dead body because I was depressed. Laur everyone doubted it except me, I knew you were there. I could.. I knew I could hear you. I knew I could! Please tell me I'm not crazy." I saw a tear float down her cheek as she said, "You're not crazy." I drained the noodles and got the cheese packet. I started talking again, "I waited by your bed everyday from 4 to 9. I waited for you to wake up Laur. Everyday, and you never.." I felt my eyes tear up, "You never did.." I heard Lauren speak, "But I did, and I'm here now, and all that waiting paid off. I am so sorry Collin, I never.. I didnt realize.." I waited for her to drain out her thoughts as I poured the food into 2 bowls. "Lauren, its alright, I promise." And I carried the bowls to the table. Lauren followed close behind and sat down next to me. At the end of the meal I walked to the cabinet and brought the pill bottle to the table, "Lauren, these are your meds, 2 a day, I have to go to work in the morning, so you'll have to remember to take it tomorrow morning, okay?" She smirked at me, "Ok dad." I frowned, "I just want you to be safe Laur. I.. " I trailed off and she looked confused, "You what Collin?" I frowned, "I cant lose you again!" I yelled under my breath. Lauren stood up and pressed herself against me, "You're never going to lose me again." I felt tears in my eyes but Lauren quickly ushered them away, she pushed herself into me, and we kissed. The kiss was heated from the start, and it continued to escalate. Lauren bit my lip and I rested my hands on her hips. But, I pulled away. Lauren deserved better. She just woke up from a coma. Lauren realized what I was doing and whispered, "Thanks.." I kissed her once again and whispered, "I love you Laur. Never forget," She smiled, "You barely give me time TO forget, I love you too. Goodnight." And she walked out of the kitchen to her room. I SMiled as I cleaned up the kitchen, Lauren was mine, well, technically she wasnt, yet.
