Touch Me

All I Want Is You

"When do you think you'll start going back to school?"

"As soon as I can. I miss walking there with you."

"I miss walking there with you, too. It gets very lonely to walk alone. Although, I can assume it's far lonelier to sit in a hospital, alone."

"True, but I don't have to deal with that anymore."

"Well, I guess you're right." I smiled

He pulled me closer to him, his smile still beaming. He seemed to have no care about his injuries from the accident, disregarding them so he could hug me. He's just not the type to pity himself. Or even begin to let anyone else pity him. As I looked back over at him, he was staring at me

"What're you looking at?"

"You."

"...is there something on my face?"

"No. I just like looking at you."

"I don't quite get why, but alright"

"Well, I can think of plenty of reasons I like looking at you."

"You're sweet, Kev" I smiled

He grinned before yawning again

"You tired?"

"A bit.. I've got a shit ton of medication being pumped into me, I'm a little sleepy.."

"You should go to sleep. You had a big day yesterday."

"Are you sure you won't get bored?"

"I'm certain. Get some more sleep"

He nodded and pulled me as close as possible, setting his head down on my shoulder.  I pulled his sheet up over the two of us. He closed his eyes slowly, keeping his arm over me. He fell asleep after ten minutes of sitting there in silence. 

He slept for a few hours, before he finally woke again with a yawn

"..What time is it?" He asked drowsily

"Five"

"You should get home and eat some dinner.."

"Meh, I'm not very hungry"

"Come on, you can come back later, but you've gotta eat something."

"Alright.. I'll go in a bit, okay?"

"Thank you."

"Sure. So what time are you out of here?"

"Not sure. I think around ten."

"Do you want me to stay tonight or come and walk you home tomorrow?"

"Whichever you want."

"Alright, how about I go home and eat, and then come back for the night?"

"Sounds good... I really do appreciate you staying here with me all week. You didn't have to, but you chose to, and that really means a lot."

"Of course, Kev. There's nowhere I'd rather be than with you, knowing you're okay."

"I love you."

"I love you too" I smiled

"Alright, get on home, I'll see you later"

"Okay" I stood off of his bed and picked up my backpack "I'll see you in an hour or so?"

"Sounds good. Have a good time, Sunshine"

"I will. Bye"

"Bye"

I made my way back to my house, shivering a bit
from the cold air when I arrived. My father still wasn't home. I have no idea where the hell he is, but quite frankly, I didn't care much. As long as he wasn't hurting me or Kevin, it didn't matter where he was.  I don't need him in my life.
