Finding Another Like Me. - 14. Chapter 14

this time we only advise one off you to go. Sorry.”

“Oh my god! Thank the Lord!” Mrs. Thomas exclaimed. She jumped from my arms and hugged the doctor.

He patted her on the back and said, “Whichever one of you wants to come should follow me.”

I saw Mrs. Thomas look at Mr. Thomas and then she moved her eyes to me. “Kyle! Mr. Thomas and I want to be able to see Chris together. As long as I know he’s okay I’m fine. Please you go Chris would really want to see you.”

I started getting nervous. Was I really ready for it, plus they probably should see him first. “No Mrs. Thomas. He’s your son…”

“Kyle. Just listen to her. Please.” Mr. Thomas said in a stern voice.

I just stared at him and could he was serious, so I got up and started to follow the doctor. As I walked in his steps, my heart began to race. Things just seemed like they were building. I swear I could hear my heart beating in my eardrums.

The door came in site and the doctor knocked on it and then moved away to allow me to walk in. I slowly moved forward and took a breath and stepped through the thresh hold.

As I got about two steps in I just stopped and looked right in front of me. There he was lying in bed with IVs running through his arms and looking the weakest I had ever seen him.

I felt the tears come to my eyes as this seemed like the first time I was really seeing him since we broke up. I felt a smile come across my face as I watched him look shocked at me. Finally I mustered up the courage to say, “Hi.”

He just laid there shocked. He blinked a few times to see if he was dreaming it, but soon realized he wasn’t. “Kyle.”

“Chris.” I just continued to stare. I couldn’t move again.

He just stared at me and then lifted his arms. “Come here.”

I walked slowly over with the tears covering my face and embraced him as he put his huge weak arms around me.

“I’m so sorry Chris. So sorry. I never wanted this to happen.” I sobbed into his neck. “I...I...I love you Christopher. If I had ever lost you forever I don’t know what I would have done.”

I felt his grip loosen and him push away from me a little so our faces were looked at each other. “You what?” He stammered.

I gulped and repeated, “I…I love you, Chris.”

He just looked at me and I watched his eyes become a little teary as he pulled me close again and his lips touched mine. I felt his luscious lips I had been dreaming of for the last three months. I missed it so much. It started off slowly and soft but. But it was not before soon that we were kissing hard and fierce trying to make up for all the time.

“Ouch,” I heard Chris mumble as he pulled himself away. “Sorry I’m just still a little sore.”

I chuckled and pulled away a little more. “It’s okay we can talk a little anyway. So what’s been up man?”

“Nothing really. I really missed you man…” He put out his hand and I grabbed it.

“I did too. I’m sorry again…”

“Stop with the apologies…”

I just nodded

“So what has been up with you? Can I ask you a question?” He looked sullen.

“I’ve been up to nothing, missing you. Yeah shoot bud…” I rubbed his hand for reassurance.

“What…” he paused. “What were you doing with Lauren that day I saw you?”

I put my head down. I felt kind of ashamed. “I…I”

He cut me off. “Kyle. Relax. I won’t be mad at you. I was just wondering.”

I swallowed. “I was taking her out on a date.” I paused. “We met a week before at a dance. I was still not over you. I was just trying to fill a void. I’m sorry, so sorry.”

I started to cry, but felt him grab my hand and pull my body. “Don’t be I understand. It’s okay. I know the feeling I had it. I just filled it with something else…football.”

I laughed with my tears. I then remembered something. “I…I...have to tell you something more…”

“Oh?” He said just giving me a confused look.

“I told you parents about the steroids…” I started to babble. “I’m sorry but the doctor needed to know. He needed to know if anything was in your system before he treated you…”

“Kyle! Kyle! Relax! Its fine it’s no big deal I understand,” he said looking into my eyes. “You had good intentions, plus…I never took them.”

I gawked at him. “What?”

“I never took them. After our fight, I couldn’t I just could. I told the coach I would never and I just worked my ass off on my own. I used all that anger I had of missing you to drive me. I wanted to show you I could be the best and you were right. I tried telling you, but you wouldn’t answer my call or texts.”

I let go of his hand and bombarded him with a hug. I gripped him so hard. I was so proud of him I cried again. “Thank you. Thank you. I’m so glad you didn’t and I’m still sorry we fought about it. I overacted.” I nuzzled my face into his neck and kissed it.

“It’s over and done with now…”

“Chris where’s the necklace I gave you?” I wasn’t mad. Just curious.

He turned his head to look at me. “I took it off before the game today…I have always worn it since the day we broke up, but today I just looked at myself in the mirror and thought I probably should stop dreaming it’s officially over so I took it off..”

I burst out laughing.

He gave me and odd look.

“Dummy you shouldn’t have done that look at where it got you?”

He looked at me still confused.

“The chain it was for protection or safety. I got it for you because I was worried about football. Look the day you take it off you end up in the hospital. You better never do that again!” I gave him a stern look and kissed him on the lips.

He chuckled and then he pulled me closer for another long kiss. I could tell we had both missed this.

All of a sudden there was a cough from behind us and the doctor was standing in the door. We both stared at him being embarrassed.

“Well I can see you’re doing much, better but I’m sorry we have to take you for one more test to check for internal bleeding from the hit.”

Chris looked at me with puppy dog eyes. “Okay. I guess, but I feel fine.”

The doctor laughed. “I know you do. It is just a precaution.”

The doctor came over and helped Chris slowly from the bed. I watched as he led him out of the room with his fine ass hanging out of his hospital night gown. I chuckled.

It felt so good to be back with Chris. It felt so surreal. To me it even felt unrealistic like for once in my life I was getting lucky. I wasn’t going to question it though. I was finally happy and I hope he was to.

I sat myself back in the chair by his bed and sat and waited for him to return.
