Precious Memories (7)~Danny's POV

Leah had been in the hospital with me for two and a half weeks. Today, after I woke up, I asked Leah, "Babe, why don't you go home and get some sleep?"

She looked at me. "Danny, I wouldn't leave you here alone. Besides, I'd miss you too much."

I smiled. "But Leah! I want you to get some sleep!"

She smiled back. "Danny, I do sleep. Alright?"

I frowned. She didn't really sleep all that much. I could tell by the look she gave me. I looked away. "Danny, are you alright?" Leah asked, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"No." I replied.

"Will you talk to me?" she asked.

"No." I replied.

She frowned and sighed. "Oh."

I heard her get up. She walked toward the door. I heard it open. Then it closed. I looked around. She was gone. I frowned. I hadn't meant for her to get mad and leave.

I lay there, alone in the silence. The hospital room was suddenly very cold and lonely without Leah. I began to think. I wondered if Leah was mad at me. I wouldn't talk to her because I was worried. She took it the wrong way.

Three hours passed before there was a familiar knock at the door. I whispered, "C-come in."

Leah opened the door. She walked toward the bed and sat down in her chair. "I'm sorry."

"You're sorry? Leah, I'm sorry." I whispered, my voice hoarse.

Leah looked at me. She took my hand into hers. "Danny...you don't have to be worry about me. I sleep. I eat. I'm not going to wither away and die while you're in the hospital."

"Leah, I worry about you because you're my girlfriend. Not because I believe you're going to magically poof out of existance...." I whispered, my voice still hoarse.

I looked at Leah. She smiled at me. "I love you, Danny."
