No Longer A Dream 8

Noah's POV

I awoke to him softly singing,

"I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all he is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."

"You sing very beautifully," I yawned.
Zak nearly jumped from the bed, "Oh that was the radio! I don't sing, I can't sing." He was blushing like crazy and he was lying.
I moved to where now I was only a lips distance away from his face. "Don't lie to me Zak. A man died right after lying to me," Which was the truth. Only the "man" had been my father, the bastard. I had been eight when he had died.

~The hospital reeked of cleaning supplies and I waited for something to happen anything. A blank stare was my completion and my mind was no where and yet every where.
This was my fault. If I had found some kind of food at the house we wouldn't have gone out and mom and him wouldn't have been shot by that mugger.
"Noah Martin?" The doctor called.
My head snapped up at my name. The doctor looked exhausted and had a thick pity in his voice. I rose to my feet and stretched my hand out to touch the wall to find the support to at least get me there.
I walked into his room. He was barely breathing, his pulse seemed a little off and he talked slowly, "Hey there son, I'm sorry but I'm not gonna make it. You'll be fine though."
Every single day of my life he had lied right to my face about the really important things.
I looked at him with hate in my eyes, "Don't lie to my face father, and don't you even dare tell me those three words you'll never really mean."
A sudden pride filled his weary eyes and he seemed to sink into the pillow.
The line on the machine went flat.
Later on I figured out that my mom had died on the way to the hospital.~

"Besides you shouldn't have to lie to me." I said messing with with his hair.
He let out a cute little squeak when my hand first touched his head, and he seemed to tense. After a second he glanced over at me and seemed to relax quiet a bit.
"Why would you even have the feeling to need to lie to me?" I leaned back and tilted my head.
"I'm sorry, I just hate singing in front of people. I'm really scared that people will reject me." Zak admitted, his cheeks filling in with a bit of color.
I gently cupped his face with my hands; making him look at me I replied, "If I rejected you, I wouldn't be here."
His blue eyes gleamed with happiness. "Really?"
I sweetly kissed him.
Zak pulled away. "Noa-ah, we're in a ah-hospital." He cheeks were now flushed with a deep red.
"So?"
He started to say something when I took the advantage to french kiss him. Zak lied back onto the bed and, our tongues still dancing, I crawled up onto the bed. Now I was hovering over him on my hands and knees, mostly putting weight on just my good shoulder and my body was begging for him.
"Um hello?" The doctor called.
Somehow I had managed to get off the bed, cross the entire room, grab the doctors throat and slam him against the wall with out realizing it. Oh, and I was growling at him.
"Noah please let go of the doctor!" Zak pleaded.
I looked down at the ground, considering my options, growling one last time I released my grip on his neck. I prowled over to the chair closest to Zak and slumped down in the seat.
The doctor talked, but I didn't hear a word.

In my mind he was dead.

Zak's POV

The doctor just left, he said I'd be able to leave. He had just come in to unhook all the wires and stuff.
"So Noah, why are we here again?" I asked.
He gave me a look and I wanted to disappear.
"Don't you remember? Cody and I came to save you from Toby?"
It came flooding back. It was like a tsunami hit me along with a hurricane. Cody was dead, Toby was dead, Bruce I wasn't sure and Noah, Noah was injured all because of me.
"I'm so sorry." I cried, I could feel all the emotions welling up inside of me and I wished I had kept it blocked.
"Hey, hey, this isn't your fault." Noah leaped up from the chair to hug me.
I burst out in a wail and I just let Noah hold me and I let the tears and emotions die away.
I listened to the steady beat of Noah's heart. Many would be surprised he had one.
He managed to work his way into the bed and I was now laying my head on his chest and he was messing with my hair.
It was all so very calming.
I ended up wrapping my arms and legs around him before I fell into the best sleep I'd probably ever get.
