"Gia"
"Gia wake up"
I slowly start to flutter my eyes open noticing a bright light beaming above me making me want to shut my eyes.
"she's finally awake!"
"Where am I? Why is it so bright?", I croak out placing my hand over my eyes blocking the brightness coming from the ceiling.
"How are you feeling Miss Marin?", a lady in her early 30's with faded navy blue scrubs chirps in intently beaming at me.
I rub my eyes to fully wake up taking a glance around the room.
My eyes land on Lulu and Veronica who are warily watching my every move.
"Where am I? Ouch, my head hurts so bad", I wince in pain as I carefully touch the right side of my forehead.
"Don't touch honey.. Your in the hospital you fainted at your school which caused an head injury from the fall", the nurse responds.
"I fainted? I don't remember anything!", I mutter beginning to feel a little panicked.
"Oh no she lost her memory!", Veronica sniffles.
"Shhh!", Lulu nudges her.
"Calm down it's absolutely normal.. It'll all come back to you soon.. just focus on relaxing and taking it easy Hun", she reassures giving me a smile.
"Why did she faint ma'am?", Lulu chirps.
"She was dehydrated"
"Ugh Gia", Lulu sighs shaking her head at me.
"Your mother is on the way to pick you up", the nurse steers.
I nod my head at her as I shut my eyes again trying to relax a bit.
"Has she woken up yet?"
I suddenly hear a familiar deep voice splutter causing me to snap my eyes wide open.
My eyes lock with Eli, we both stare at each other intently without saying a word.
I noticed he has a purplish swollen left eye, a cut on his side bottom lip, and his right cheekbone has a small bump that is greenish-purplish.
As I peer into his emerald green eyes suddenly all the events from earlier comes into my head.
Memories flashed through my mind like lightning. Everything from me kissing Ray, the break up, and Eli fighting Ray in the gym.
"I remember now", I softly say under my breath averting away from Eli's worried glare.
"I told you.. How do you feel?", the nurse smiles.
"I'm hungry and thirsty", I splutter my stomach growling out loud. I'm sure everyone in the room heard the roar.
"What do you want to eat?", Eli suddenly chirps in.
"Lulu can you call my mom and tell her to bring me some subway please", I firmly instruct.
Lulu is baffled at my sudden reaction towards Eli and nervously glances between him and I.
I know I'm being stupid right now because all I wanted since he broke up with me was to be able to talk to him, but he flirted with bitches in front of me.
That's not cool!
Eli frowns a hurt expression plasters onto his face.
Lulu nods at me pulling Veronica along with her exiting the room.
"I'll be right back Hun.. I'll bring you some juice", the nurse softly says exiting the room as well.
It's just Eli and I in the room now.
I feel so many emotions right now as well as nervous not knowing if I should continue to ignore him or not.
Slowly I lift myself up from the bed sitting down.
I wince from feeling my head throb from the pain.
"You hit the floor hard", Eli splutters breaking the awkward silence.
"Oh", I sternly say.
"Gia stop", he firmly demands crossing his arms across his chest.
"So you diss me after I beg for your forgiveness then you flirt with fucking bitches in front of my face knowing how I was hurting by our break up and now you expect me to talk to you like nothing ever happened!", I grumble.
"I'm hurting too not just you!", Eli scolds.
"Then why this treatment Elias?! I know I fucked up, but I already explained to you why I did that and fucking begged you throwing my pride out the window because I fucking love you!"
"Look I believe you, but just thinking about Ray tasting those lips of yours MY LIPS fucking infuriates me!"
"Elias I shouldn't of done that to you and I definitely shouldn't of kept it a secret. I was just scared of losing you for good which is exactly what happened anyways", I mumble trying to hold back the tears that are forming.
"I understand you feeling confused between him and I, but you still cheated on me Gia", Eli voice cracks.
"I'm sorry I hate myself for hurting you.. I love you with all of my heart Eli I really do.. Your my everything you saved me from being locked up for 6 months as well as changed me for the better. Your truly my hero and I want to spend the rest of my life with you", I huff.
Eli's face expression is plain looking down to the floor.
"I-I understand your decision. I will not bother you I promise", I mutter tears making their way down my cheeks as I drop my head down staring at the tile floor.
Suddenly I feel Eli cuff my chin with his large light tan hand lifting it up slowly until our eyes lock.
"I don't wanna lose you", Eli whispers our faces inches away from each other.
Suddenly our lips connect moving in sync together. This kiss is so passionate, yet very desperate making up for the lost time.
"I love you babe I'm forever yours I promise", I softly whisper pulling back from the kiss catching some air.
"I love you too and I never doubted that", he cockily scoffs.
A smile forms on my face as I hug tightly onto Eli like my life depended on it.
"Break it up love birds", my mom interrupts barging into the room.
Eli pulls away standing to the side of the bed.
"Gia will you explain to me why the heck you didn't eat nor drink anything since yesterday?!", my mother scolds giving me stern glare.
"Lulu told you huh?", I sigh.
"Yes I did", Lulu chirps stepping inside the room with Veronica behind her.
"I'm sorry I'm stupid it won't happen again", I slump my shoulders feeling dumb for being unhealthy.
"Your hella skinny, yet your starving yourself stupid!", Lulu rolls her eyes at me.
"Lulu!", Eli grumbles.
"What? It's true if anything Gia needs to be eating to gain weight", Lulu retorts.
"I'm sorry everybody it won't happen again okay", I scoff.
"I bought everyone a sandwich now let's go home to eat", my mother demands.
"Oh yeah I almost forget Jaslina is visiting you tomorrow morning for drug testing", my mom splutters.
"Oh shit! I almost forgot did you call her to let her now why I'm not at home?!", I hastily ask fear setting in my stomach.
"Yes she knows that's why she's ordering a drug test"
Of course she always assumes the worst from me.
"How could you forget about your p.o? You do have that humongous bracelet on your ankle you know", Veronica snorts.
"Shut up!", I stick my tongue out at her.
We all laugh
After my mom gets the paperwork from the nurse that assisted me today.
We finally leave to go home.
All I could think about is Eli and our make up kiss.
Is it possible to fall in love all over again?
I believe so because that's exactly how I feel right now.
I'm so beyond happy to have the love of my life back.
This time we're stronger than ever and no one will ever break us apart.
Eli and Gia
Forever

Eli's POV
After we finished eating our sandwiches. Lulu and Veronica went home.
As for Gia's mom she had to leave to work to cover for one of her co-workers shifts.
I'm currently laying on Gia's bed with her laying on my chest while she sleeps.
I'm sure you have an idea of what we just did.
We did just make up.
Ring Ring
My phone starts to ring and I stretch my arm over towards the nightstand to get it.
Incoming call: Xavier
Me
Hello
Xavier
Why are you whispering?
Me
My girl is asleep.. Waddup?
Xavier
The plan is ready for action
Me
Good get everything prepared.. I'm on my way
After I ended the phone call, I slowly and quietly slid from under Gia.
I scurry carefully off of the bed not wanting to wake her up.
As much as I didn't want to leave. I have to get shit handled.
This is the only way out from the business and Julius radar as well as to keep him from hurting Gia.
Tonight is the night everything comes to an end once and for all.
