Your Secret's Safe With Me

I...love you

Logan woke up to the sounds of steady beeping. She licked her dry lips, her tongue feeling like sandpaper.  She would've given anything for a glass of water right now. She tried to sit up on her elbows but immediately fell back down onto the bed. Her body was so sore and she wasn't sure why. It took a great amount of energy to open her eyes, but she somehow managed to do it.

She looked around the room and realized that she was in a hospital room. What was she doing here? Then she remembered an accident, one that she literally didn't see coming.

Oh my god. Was Peyton ok? Where was she?

She looked around the room frantically searching for her girlfriend. She looked to her right and her parents sat in chairs, her dad had his head tilted back with his eyes closed and her mom had her head in her hands.

She blinked once, then twice. No that was definitely her parents.

"Mom? Dad?" She croaked.

They immediately opened their eyes and rushed to the bed hugging her.

"Logan, thank God you're alright," her dad huffed.

"We thought we were going to lose you too," her mom cried. Logan's eyes watered. All this time she thought her parents were indifferent about her and she was so wrong.

"What happened?"

Her mom wiped the tears from her eyes, "a drunk driver hit you. He caused damage to 3 other cars."

Logan winced at the words drunk driver. She never understood how anyone could think about driving intoxicated. She looked up at her parents, "I was in the car with someone, is she alright?"

Before her parents could answer, Peyton and Chloe walked into the room.

Her dad held her hand, "we'll be right back, we're going to notify the doctor that you're awake." Her parents each gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead before they left the room.

Chloe walked up first, "dude...you look like shit."

Logan glared at her, "I was in an accident, you ass."

They stared at each other until they both started smiling. Chloe walked closer to her cousin, "if you didn't wake up today I was actually going to kick your ass."

Logan laughed and then winced at the pain, "I'm not a doctor but I'm positive that's not what you're supposed to do."

Chloe leaned over and gave her a hug, "now that I know you're ok, can you please do something about this one?" She nodded at Peyton, "she's been a wreck for the past 4 days."

4 days? That's how long she's been unconscious for?

Chloe walked towards the door, "I'm going to the cafeteria, do you want anything?"

"Can you grab me a green jello?"

Chloe made a face as she put her hand on the knob, "that's the worst flavor. I'll get you a red one instead."

Logan rolled her eyes she turned to Peyton who still looked beautiful despite not sleeping or eating well the last couple of days.

She stretched her arms out, "come here."

Peyton ran into her open arms and cried, leaving small drops on her hospital gown. "You didn't wake up when the crash happened. I tried calling out your name and shaking you but you didn't respond. I was so scared." Peyton had fistfuls of her hospital gown, making sure she wasn't going anywhere. She looked up with teary eyes, "I was scared that I lost you and that you wouldn't know how much you mean to me. How much I love you. I don't care if it's too early to say it or if you don't reciprocate the same feelings." She tucked her head back into Logan's chest, "I love you."
