“Kisses, you should probably eat” Daniel says, looking at my untouched food. It’s been sitting there for about an hour now. “I’m not hungry Dan” I say shaking my head. That was a mistake. A sharp pain runs from behind my eyes to the back of my head, causing me to place my pounding head in my hands. Hoping to ease the pain. “Kisses? Are you okay? Should I get a doctor?” Daniel says, worry filling his voice. “No, no, I’m fine. My head is just pounding?” I say slowly lifting it up, my eyes still closed. Daniel grabs my hand, tighter than before. My phone beeps and I open my eyes. “Daniel, can you read that for me?” I ask and he nods, picking up my phone. “It’s Grace. She wants to know if you can face time” Daniel says and I nod. “Yeah, call her and you can talk to her. I have to use the restroom” I say, trying to sit up. I hiss, the pain unbearable and causing me to get lightheaded. “Hold on, let me help you. I should probably call a nurse for this” He says. At that time a nurs
~Kisses P.O.V~ I woke up, still holding Daniel’s hand. Butterflies run through my body. “Kisses, you’re up? Has he been here all night?” The doctor says and I hesitantly answer. “Yes, I’m sorry. It wont happen again” I say and he nods. “Okay. How are you feeling?” He says looking at my chart. “My side really hurts and I have an off and on headache. But other than that, pretty good” I say and he nods. “Yeah, that’s going to be like that for some time. We can give you some pain killers but that’s needs approval from your parents since its very strong” He says and I nod. “Yeah, it’s okay. I don’t need anything” I say and he nods. “Okay, let me or your nurse know if you need anything” He says and I nod, thanking him. Daniel stirs, grunting. “Hey Dan” I say as his eyes open. “Hey, how’d you sleep?” He asks, stretching his neck. “Pretty good the second time” I say laughing. “Did the doctor come in?” He asks, standing up, stretching. “Yeah, he just checked on me and told me that
~Kisses P.O.V~ Brooks just texted Kylie that they are here. I just told the girls about Daniel and I and how I really like him. Like a lot. I think I might tell him today. I want to be with him. He makes me feel so safe, even from my parents. That’s something I thought no one could ever do. He's helped me through so much and I don't know how I could ever repay him. Daniel and Brooks walk in, Brooks smiles at me and then walks over to Kylie. Daniel comes to me of course. "Dan, you did ama-" I say but get cut off my him grabbing my face gently, placing his lips on top of mine. Fireworks go off in my stomach. The kiss lasts a couple seconds until Daniel pulls away, leaning his forehead on mine. "I love you, Kisses" He whispers, his eyes closed. "I-I love you too Daniel" I say, his eyes open and smile spreads across both of our faces. He sits down on the bed next to me, staring at my face. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He breathes out, scared to hear the answer. "Of course" I s
‘Everything seems to be going smoothly. If it continues like this then we can hopefully get you out of here tomorrow” The doctor says and I nod, smiling. “Thank you so much doctor” I say and he smiles, walking out. “Oh thank god” I say closing my eyes. “I can’t take this tiny little room anymore. I’ve barely moved” I say shifting next to Daniel. “I know Kiss, but you need to rest. Those ribs aren’t going to heal while you overwork yourself” He laughs. “I know. But I’m fine. My ribs just hurt a little. I just need to get out of here” I sigh. It’s just Daniel and I right now. I made Kylie, Brooks and Christine go to the party tonight. I tried to get Daniel to go but he refused, stating that he ‘didn’t want to deal with Samantha’s bullshit’. I’ll admit, it was really funny. Right now we are sitting in my bed, eating frozen yogurt Daniel had gotten. We are watching a movie as well as making small talk “Um, hey. Thank you Dan” I place my spoon down, turning to him. “What for?” He as
I got discharged earlier today. Right now I am at the Greens. I agreed to stay with them, but the problem is getting some stuff from my house. “I can get your stuff Kiss” Jim says and I shake my head. “No, no its okay. I got it” I say smiling. I’m petrified to walk into that house. Not that I don’t think Daniel will protect me but I don’t want him getting hurt. “I’ll be fine Kiss” Daniel says grabbing my hand. The drive to my house was short, like usual. “Daniel, I think I should just stay at my house. It will work better” I say, panicking. “Kisses, hey. Look at me. You’re fine. You’re going to stay with people who love you. Please, do this for me” He says, staring me into the eyes. “Okay, yeah” I say shaking my head. Still a bad idea. I slowly get out of the car, quietly. The house door is unlocked and my mother and father are passed out on the couch. “Come on, lets try and not wake them” Daniel whispers. Once again panic flashes through my body. They are going to murder
He could have been safe and away from all this. Instead he’s hurt. “You are so very lucky Kisses” The doctor says, shaking his head. “We will numb the areas and put the stitches in. No school for at least a week, preferably a week and a half” The doctor says and my heart drops. “What? I need to go to school. I need to get into college. Please” I say and he shakes his head. “You can’t go to school with a concussion. No excuses. You’ll do fine, you have very good grades” He says pulling up the blanket. “May I?” He asks and I nod, telling him its okay to lift up the hospital gown. Giving him access to the deep gashes. My phone starts going off, I ignore it. I can’t talk to Grace about this right now. “Daniel, will you bring me the work?” ask and he shakes his head. “You can’t do anything that could confuse you or make you think too much” Daniel says, crossing his arms. “Thanks for helping me out Dan” I say causing Tara to laugh. I feel pressure on my thigh, as the needle closes
I woke up to complete silence. I grab my phone, relief washing over me when I realize I won’t see those nasty texts again. 10:24 Holy shit I slept late. How is it still so silent? I slowly get up, wincing at my sore thighs. Going down the stairs is going to be some trouble. I’m halfway down the stairs when I hear Daniel. “Yeah man, she’s still sleeping. I’m worried about her” He says causing me to pause. “She’s strong Dan. She’ll push through” Brooks answers. I block out the rest of the private conversation, continuing my way down the stairs. When I finally make it to the kitchen his back is to me. He’s wearing a pair of grey sweatpants and no shirt of course. His back and arm muscles are bulging, making it obvious that he’s tense. I put my finger over my lips at Brooks, sending him the message. He makes some noise to block out mine, as I walk over to him. “Calm down hun” I say, hugging Daniel from the back. He melts into my hug, automatically. “What’s wrong?” I whisper, cau
~Daniel’s P.O.V~ Samantha isn’t actually having a party. I just wanted to do something special for Kisses. I got Brooks and Kylie in on the idea and they helped me out with it. It worked perfectly. We are currently on our way to the jewelry store. I want to pick something out for Kisses. Something to remind her that I’m always here. The windows are down, California’s brisk, 4pm air flowing through the car. I lean my head back, hoping that Kisses isn’t in any pain. I wish I could take it from her. She doesn’t deserve this. “Dan, man. We are here” Brooks says, snapping in my face. “Sorry” I mumble getting out of his Jeep. We walk in, greeting the workers. Immediately Brooks makes his way over to the rings. “This is what I had in mind to get for Kylie” He says pointing to a ring. It is silver with a small heart diamond on the center. A couple diamonds are lining half the band. It’s beautiful. “A promise ring?” I mumble, scanning through the many engagement rings. “Yeah, it caught
