Chapter Three
"Race ya," I shouted, to get his mind out of the gutter. I took off sprinting down the steps. Me being blonde, slipped and fell on the last step, smacking my head on the stairs. I suddenly felt very tired, and couldn't keep my eyes open. "Drake?" I heard Alex yell from the top of the steps. It was too late. I felt myself being pulled farther and farther into the darkness that was surrounding me. Alex's screams turned into whispering before I had time to take a breath.
I awoke to an annoying beeping sound, and my head was pounding. I pulled my hand up to my head, for it only to be contricted by various wires connected to my body. I looked around only to realize I was in a hospital bed. Alex was to my left, holding my hand. I didn't remember anything. I didn't remember how I got here, what was wrong with me, or even why I was here in the first place. I sat up, pulling my hand out of Alex's. My movement startled him, and he whipped his head around to look at me. "Are you really awake this time," he asked me. What is he talking about? "Yeah?" "Oh, good!" He exclaimed. "I thought I was going to lose you, Drake." He rushed over and hugged me tight. Not knowing what else to do, and enjoying having his arms around me, i hugged him back. I don't know what, but something was different about this hug than the others. He pulled back to look at my face, as if to commit it to memory. That's when it happened. It happened so fast, but so slow at the same time. His face was nearing mine, slowly closing the distance between us. My heart beat quickened, and thanks to the heart monitor he heard it. He slowly closed his eyes, our faces less than a centimeter apart now. I could feel his warm breath on my lips, i closed my eyes, suddenly wanting this more than I ever thought I could want something like this to happen. It all happened at once, his lips crashed on to mine. We stayed like that for a while, it seemed, but it was only a matter of seconds. My heart felt whole again, it was as if the past eight years never happened. It was as if my dad was still alive, and my mom still cared about me. I heard the door open the close again, not really caring who it was. I heard a man's throat clear. I pulled away from Alex, my eyes not leaving his. I turned to see a face I haven't seen in years, it was different now, he had aged quite a bit. I saw a face that I had cried over many times. I saw my father.
