two uploads in two days? OMG WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO!!! LOL Enjoy.

~Liam~

The next day I arrived at the hospital since my mom and dad pretty much made me stay the night saying that the hospital wasn't going to let me stay the night. I would love for them to keep me from staying today or any other day. I was walking in when I saw Nash sitting outside on his cell phone. He must have felt my stare because he looked up at me with those damn eyes. I think I have a soft spot for this guy just because of that. He nodded a hi at me as he told whoever was on the phone he had to go.

I continued to walk in through the door as he jogged to next to me.

"hey man" he said. I could see the dark circles under his eyes. I knew the feeling I hadn't slept well last night... or any night for that matter.

"I see you have another bag" he said eyeing the bag on my shoulder. I nodded.

"yep, I'm ready for a long stay" I told him as we walked down the hall, some of the nurses and doctors were saying hi to me by name. Nash chuckled,

"wow" was all he said.

"have you seen him?" I asked hoping that he would tell me that Aiden was awake and my bag was unnecessary; but nope.

"yeah, he's the same." His voice dropped to a strained whisper. "my dad was here but he didn't stay long, he's taking this really hard and my mom she can't even get out of bed" he told me his eyes beginning to fill with tears. I looked away afraid I'll start the water works and I know that it won't be short.

"how do you know that your mom won't leave the bed?" I asked him.

"I've been staying over there, I couldn't leave them alone you know. They need me" I nodded.

We turned the corner down Aiden's hall and the smell hit me before the voice did. my body tensed and my blood hit a tempters that would but the sun to shame. I growled causing Nash to snap his head at me in shock.

"dude did you just-" I didn't stay to listen as I ran down the hall and skid to a stop at the closed door. I could hear Nash's louder thuds as he ran to me. A confused expression on his face.

"I'm so sorry Aiden. I should have never kissed you so close to the stairs. Is shouldn't have kissed you at all"  Brent's voice was like nails on a chalk board to me as I hear him apologize. The little F*CK KISSED MY MAN!!!

"I've been such an asshole to you for everything that I've done. I regret ever hitting you and calling you all those names." That was it, I burst through the door and watched as Brent shot from the chair he was sitting in making it crash to the floor and turned, a face full of fear as he noticed me standing there furious .

"you've been hitting him!" I stalked to him and grabbed him by the neck. I was shaking all over as my wolf claws at me to get out and I knew there was no one who could stop me from beating the shit out of him. Better yet beating him to near death and I might just tip that scale just to have the satisfaction of having him six feet under.

His eyes were huge as he stared at me as I squeezed my hand tighter on his neck.

"Liam what the hell are you doing!"  I heard Nash yell from behind me but I paid him no mind.

"I'm going to tear you to pieces and watch as the blood pours from your body till your heart pumps its last beat of life." I snarled in his face as my wolf took over.

"please" he choked but it was on deaf ears.

"no one, and I mean on one gets away with hurt my mate!" my claws were extending and slowly digging to him neck making him scream as his blood started to flow on to my hand.

"LIAM!" Nash pushed my arm making me turn my head to him.

"WHAT!" I yelled at him.

"what the f*ck are you doing let him go!" he screamed at me in terror. I looked back at Brent as my wolf taking full control of my body as my eyes sharpened as they changed. I heard a spine-chilling laugh fill the room and realized it was me.

"not a chance" my voice deep and deadly. My canines elongated as I glared at Brent's fear stricken face. I smiled,

"are you scared little shit?" this wasn't my voice, well it was mine but it wasn't. he began to wiggle trying to get out of the death hold I had at his neck, his face was turning blue. I should let go but I just didn't want to.

"Liam you have to let go" the new voice caught me off guard for a second when I realized Dom was in the room. I shrugged his command off and made my claws grow longer I knew I would be hitting his windpipe or some major artery soon.

"s-s-stop" he coughed out as blood spewed from his mouth. I felt crazed with blood lust as I witnessed this lovely moment of getting revenge for my mate.

"let go!" a hand came down on my arm and claws dug in my skin making me drop Brent to the floor with a hiss. I turned on Dom and slammed him in the wall.

"who the f*ck do you think you are!" I growled in his face. My wolf and I ready to go on a killing spree with all the damn interruptions.

Dom looked shock as he witnessed my wolf possessing my body like this. I could understand his surprise because only rouges let their wolf in complete control. He tried to get me off him but I wasn't moving. I was an alpha there was no way he was going to be able to budge me. But then I felt the aura of his wolf change. I was confused as the mere pack wolf heightened to a beta's aura giving him the strength to push me off him and tackle me to the ground and pin me.

He won't be able to do it for long though.

"Liam snap out of it!" he said punching my face hard enough to make me freeze and come back to my senses. I pushed my wolf back and realized I was on the floor with Dom on my chest, Brent was on the floor gasping for air and Nash kneeling beside him but staring at me in disbelief. I pushed Dom.

"get off" I ordered and immediately he got to his feet but stood in the way of Brent. I glared.

"what the hell was that?" Nash asked me as he stood up. I was breathing hard along with Dom from our struggle. I glared down at Brent as he was wiping the blood from his mouth. I pointed at him with a sneer on my face.

"that piece of shit put Aiden in his coma" I growled. the room fell silent as we all turned to stare at Brent, he was terrified as he looked from each of our faces. Mine was full of disgust, Dom's shock and dislike and Nash's was full on livid.

"YOU DID WHAT!!!" he screamed down at him. Brent scrambled to his feet and tried to make a run for the door but Nash caught the back of his collar pulling him back.

"you slipped up cuz" his voice was deadly calm as he forcefully turned Brent to face him. I could see Brent visibly shaking and I couldn't stop the smile. I didn't care who f*cked Brent's worthless ass up but as long as it happened I'd be a happy damn camper.

"Nash it was an accident" he whined as he looked at his angry cousin.

"I don't give a f*ck" was all he said before he punched his already broken nose. He screamed and fell to the ground holding his face. Nash jumped on him and wailed on his face, Brent never getting a hit in all he could do was try and block Nash's attacks. Nash was yelling a crap load of stuff while his cousin begged him to stop. Dom and I just stood there watched. I wish I had popcorn right now.

"NASH!!" Brent cried.

"shut up you no good f*cking piece of shit!" he yelled punching him in the gut causing more blood to come out of his mouth. "I'm going to beat the homophobe out of you" he growled as he began slamming Brent's head in the floor.

"aren't you going to stop this?" Dom asked me. I frowned at him finally taking my eyes from the fight.

"and why in the hell would I do that?" I snarled glaring at him sharply. Dom shut his mouth and went back to watching Brent getting the beating of a life time. My wolf wanted to join but I knew this was a family thing even though I consider myself family  to Aiden I just know that I'd actually kill the kid if I stared.

Nash slowly got off of the blood covered human breathing hard and covered in sweat.

"good thing you're in a hospital because it looks like you'll be needing one" I heard Dom say.

"get him out" I said to him. Dom nodded to me and dragged Brent unconscious body out of the room. I closed my eyes getting myself under control so I don't go chasing after them to finish the job. Once they were gone I closed the door and walked over to Nash who was starting to get his breath back.

"you good?" I asked him placing my hand on his shoulder. He nodded as he straightened up to look at me.

"yeah"

"good" there was a quiet silence as I walked over to Aiden, lifting my leg up to sit next to him. I reached down and ran my finger in his soft black hair.

"hey baby" I greeted. "we got rid of him for you, beautiful" I whispered.

"I'm going to go and tell my parents" Nash said. I didn't even spare him a glance as he left the room.

"how much longer"

****

I stared up at the ceiling next to Aiden. Its been a week since Brent was nearly beat in a coma himself by me and Nash. Aiden's parent s were livid to learnt what Brent had did and they immediately called his parents. I would have reported him to the police if I was them but I know one thing. Brent was never coming anywhere near Aiden! My dad comes by lately, ever since our talk I've let him come by. I talked to him about what happen to me when my wolf took over like that, he told me that he's heard wolves going crazy with rage and even though they aren't rouges they can experience it if there threatened severely enough or angry to take over your body completely for a period of time.

Then there was Dom who had changed his ranking in a matter of seconds. My dad didn't really have an answer for that one. I always dreaded the fact that Kyle was going to be my beta since I hate his guts. Dom and I have been friends for so long I always wanted him to be my beta even when Kyle was my friend so long ago but now he can.

I sat up and hopped from the bed and began to pace the room. I couldn't take it anymore, I want him back! it's killed me that I couldn't do anything to help him. He just laid there with a damn tube in his throat. He had to come back to me. My parents accepted us we can be together without the thought of them hating us for it. I shoved a chair out of my way watching it crash to pieces against the wall as I stalked back and forth in the small room. Again the constant beeping of the heart monitor grated on my nerves just reminding me that my mate was hurt.

"what happened!?" a nurse came running in the room a wide eyed worried expression on her face. She looked from Aiden to me the chair laying helplessly in pieces. She sighed and gave me a tired look.

"you can't keep destroying the hospital furniture or we'll have to escort you off the premises." She warned me. She was like a broken record I've heard it more than a hundred times.

"then quit putting more chairs in here" I growled at her. She rolled her eyes and pointed at me,

"just quit" and left with the damn door open. I gritted my teeth as I stomped to the door and slammed it shut.

"AND QUIT SLAMMING THE DOOR!" she yelled from the hall. GOD she's worse than my mother!

I rested my back against the door and closed my eyes for a second. I feel suffocated being in this little room but as we all know I can't leave. I looked back at Aiden, what can I do? How do I wake him up?

 Please spirits help me, you matched us together you can tell me what to do. I was begging but I do more than that to have him with me. I walked to his side and sank to my knees grabbing his hand between both mine.

"You have to help him, please. I can't live without him." My voice was becoming tight. I couldn't stop my tears when they wanted to come.

"don't take him away from me before I even got to know him better, have our first argument as a couple, or come out to my pack, before he can rule by my side. Before I get to even say... I love you" hot tears slid down my face from the corner of my eyes as I laid my head on his chest. My sobs were quiet but hurt as I again cried for him.

Beepbeep

My head shot up at the sound of the heart monitors first irregular beep. I looked at the machine but it was back to its normal pace. I frowned and peered at Aiden. The doctors did warn me that the monitor would have fluctuations and it could mean a lot of things, like a dream the patients having or if you talk to him. But that's never happened before. Everyone has tried to talk to him but there has never been a response to our words.

"Aiden?" I said to him but nothing. I reached up with my other hand to comb my finger through his soft black hair.

"my parents want to talk to you, they want to meet there alpha"

"there thrilled about it so you don't have to be scared about anything, I'll be there the whole time. We can do this together Aiden, I'll never let anyone touch you again. All you have to do is wake up so we can move forward together" my thumb caressed his bottom lip.

"I'll always be here for you, even if you never want to wake up I'll be here by your side ready to leave whenever you are" I lent close to his mouth so our noses were touching.

"do you know why baby?" I asked knowing no answer back. I pressed my lips to his softly feeling the sparks igniting between us before pulling back.

"because I love you" I whispered my eyes closed and I placed my forehead on his finally coming to terms with the situation. I will be by his side no matter what, if he's awake or is asleep I'm not leaving him. I felt something on my hand. I looked down but there was nothing but his still hand.

Then it happened, his hand twitched in mine. My heart jumped at the sight as my eyes widened. Please don't let this be a hallucination. Again I watched as his fingers weakly curled around my hand. I couldn't stop staring at our hands. This is really happening.

"Aiden?"

I looked up to his face to find sky blue eyes staring at me.   

..............................................................................................................

Are you all happy now!!!

~Aiden~

Darkness.

I didn't know what was going on but that was all I could see. I tried to open my eyes but it wouldn't work and I felt uneasy like something wasn't right. There was a constant beeping that I couldn't figure out what it was. Where was I? What was happening? Why am I asking so many questions and why aren't they not being answered?

My body was heavy, I couldn't move. I felt like I was swimming in a murky lake trying to reach the surface but every time I thought I was close I was dragged back down. What's happening to me? Was I asleep?

'Wake up Aiden!' I yelled at myself but I just couldn't. There was a faint deep sound murmuring in my ears. What is that? I had a hard time trying to concentrate on it, but it was familiar. My head began to pound when it got too hard to focus. I wanted to scream as the headache formed but nothing was coming out.

The panic started to set in.

'Someone, anyone help!' I wanted to say yell out but my mouth felt like it was glued together, my tongue like cotton. It was then that familiar sparks began shooting through my hand up my arm while the rest of my body was numb. The murmuring was getting louder along with the constant beeping.

"...love you." I heard fade in my ears.

Is that Liam? My heart jumped at the thought of him being so close. He was here so there was no way I was in danger, but why couldn't I move.

"...iden?" His voice came again. I was being pulled back into the darkness again but I didn't want to go. I wanted to be with Liam, I wanted to see him but I was so tired. Plus the soft deep mumbling was soothing me back. But I knew if I did go I wouldn't be able to be with Liam again.

'Liam help me.' I needed to tell him this.

'Come on Aiden speak!'

Soft warm tingles traveled from my hand to my face, my hair was being moved, and my lip was being touched.

Liam help me.

Then the feeling of lips pressing on mine forced me to tear myself to the surface of the darkness. I clung to the pleasant touch of his lips on mine. I wanted to return it, to wrap my arms around him but all I could was move a finger.

Well that was a step.

"I love you." It was barely a whisper but I heard it. My hand twitched again, I want to touch him. Please I have to see him!

And I broke through, my eye lids heavy but I got them open. The bright light hurt so much I had to shut them for a second before I forced them open again. There was a blur surrounding everything as I looked around the fuzzy white room. The beeping was becoming an annoyance as my senses were coming back. A dark figure made a contrast against the white blur surrounding him. My body was still unmoving but my vision began to clear till Liam's features became clear. He was looking down at something but I was beyond happy to see him. He was just as handsome as ever,

"Aiden?" His voice was clear and music to my ears to. He looked up to me with those beautiful hazel eyes making my heart beat erratically.

"Aiden!?" His eyes widened like he hadn't seen me in forever. I saw the deep bags under his eyes as they filled with tears. Wait, why was he crying? I tried to reach up to touch his face but it felt like lead.

"You're back." his awed voice confused me as he cupped my face in his warm hands as he moved closer to me.

"Thank the Spirits." He whispered, kissing my lips my, nose, cheeks, forehead all the way back to my lips again. "You're here." I finally got my lips to part a little but nothing was happened.

"Don't speak." He rushed, leaning over to press something but I couldn't take my eyes off him. Why was he so happy to see me?

"I called the nurse okay." Nurse? He must have noticed my frown.

"Don't worry right now, just wait a moment baby." He told me laying his head against mine. "Everything is going to be alright again." His hand was caressing my hair down.

What the hell is that incessant beeping!

The sound of a door opening came from somewhere making me move my gaze from Liam to the lady rushing in the room. She had blue scrubs with pink teddy bears on it. She looked to Liam,

"What?" She asked rudely making me instantly dislike her. Don't talk to my man like that bitch! An annoyed expression crossed his face.

"Do you not see lady?" He gestured to me with his hand. Her eyes moved towards me and I watched them widened.

"Oh my goodness." She turned rushing out the door like a crazy woman. "Dr. Reese! Dr. Reese!" I heard her yelling as she ran down the hall. This was the time I took in my surroundings. White walls, a huge window with an overabundance of flowers and cards along it. I couldn't move my head much but I caught the sight of a machine in the corner of my eye. Was that the thing that kept beeping? There were wires in my arms.

Soft fingers trailed down my cheek and I looked back at Liam.

"You've come back to me." He said. Nothing was making sense right now. Where were my parents?

A tall man in a white coat came in with a clip board. He had dark hair graying on the sides and a gentle smile on his face as his soft brown eyes landed at me.

"Aiden." His voice was smooth and deep, making me relax a bit as he got close. "How are you feeling?" He asked but I couldn't say anything. He nodded like he understood.

"Alright, you must have a hundred questions going through your head right now." He looked over to Liam,

"Could you go and wait outside, please?" The doctor asked. Liam tensed before shaking his head.

"No." The doctor sighed.

"Liam I need you to wait outside, you can come right back in when I'm done okay." He reassured. Liam looked over at me, I didn't want him to go and he saw that.

"I'll be back, I'm going to call your family." And reluctantly he left. Wearily I looked back at the doctor as he took my arm and checked my pulse before writing something on his clip board.

"So, we're going to put you through some tests and x-rays make sure you're doing alright. You may not be able to speak or move on your on for a bit but it will pass." He said more but I was confused as to what the hell was wrong with me. Why was I in the hospital? I wanted to ask him but like he said I couldn't.

"Do you know your name?" He asked. "Blink one for yes and twice for no." he told me.

I blinked.

"Do you know that boy that just left?"

Blink

"Does your head hurt?"

Blink

"Can you feel your limbs?" I focused on that I felt like jelly but I knew they were there I just had no strength to use them.

Blink

"Do you know the reason why you're in the hospital?" I thought about that. Then I realized I couldn't remember a damn thing and the more I tried to remember it caused a major pain in my head. I squeezed my eyes shut from the pain.

"Do you remember Aiden?" He asked again.

Blink, blink.

He wrote something on his clipboard.

"You might suffer from a small case of amnesia but with time you might come back to you." He told me. Then he looked up at me and saw my confusion.

"Aiden, you were in coma." He informed me slowly, watching me carefully. My eyes widened,

'A COMA?!' How the hell did that happen?

"You were brought in here with a serious head wound. I'm going to leave the rest for your family to tell you but I need to do the test before that happened."

Blink.

****

The tube was removed from my neck and replaced by an oxygen mask since it was a little difficult breathing on my own. The doctor said it may be like that for a few day till I can do it on my own, along with eating. After an hour or so I was able to move my head which was a good sign from the nurses. They wheeled me back to my room once the tests were done. I was still tired but I just wanted to see Liam again. He hadn't come back and I was worried that he left. Resting my back against the pillows the nurse so kindly fluffed for me, I waited for visitors to start pouring in.

While I was alone I tried to move some on my body to make the time go by faster. I looked down at my hands, scrunching my face up in concentration as I strained my muscle to listen. My finger began to quiver as I lifted them off the bed about an inch or so. Slowly I made them curl in a weak fist. Now I had to get my whole body to work with me.

The door slowly opened and Connie and Nash came barging in.

"Aiden!" They exclaimed together as they rushed to my bed.

Connie laid herself on me resting her head on my chest while Nash sat on the bed beside me grabbing my hand. I looked from one to the other and a warmth filled me. My family. I love my family with all my heart and seeing those teary eyed made me sad and happy. Sad that I caused them so much worry and happy they cared so much.

"Hey bro." Nash said his voice tight. It killed me that I couldn't reply. I felt my body shaking as Connie sobbed on my chest.

"I-I m-missed you s-so much." She cried against me.

"You scared us man." Nash told me wiping away a stray tear. My eyes softened showing him I was sorry.

"Come home Aiden" Con said to me looking up with those big blue eyes, her silky blonde hair in a messy unkempt bun with loose strands falling in her face. I smiled at her nodding my head even though it took a lot out of me.

"Mom and dad were so worried about you. And Connie hasn't had a proper meal since." I narrowed my eyes at her as her cheeks turned a bright pink.

"Nash hasn't slept since." She returned and I turned my narrowed glare to him.

"Well let's just say that we haven't been right without you bro." His eyes down cast. I squeezed the hand he had that held mine causing him to look up at me surprised. He smiled before his face turned stern.

"Don't ever do that again." he scolded. Connie nodded in agreement. I nodded my head once more when there was a knock at the door, the both leaned forward and kissed my cheeks.

"We love you and get better." Giving me one last glance, they left; soon my parents replaced my siblings. My mom rushed to the bed and kissed all over my face while my dad stayed back letting my mom worry.

"Oh god Aiden I was so worried, how is my baby?" She asked but got no response. Tears began to stream down her face.

"Oh my baby." she cried again. And let me tell you, that went on for about, F.O.R.E.V.E.R!

My dad pulled her off me as she raved about something but like usual I toned her out after the first ten minutes. She finally calmed down and sat in a chair as my dad came up to me and sat on the bed. He didn't say much just gazed down at me. I looked back at him happy as shit that he wasn't yelling and crying hysterically like my crazy mother.

"I'm so sorry." He finally said. I frowned at him. For what?

"I should have seen the signs." I had no idea what he was talking about.

"This is my fault and I'm going to make it right to you okay." I watched as for the first time in my life I saw my father cry. I moved my hand over his but that just made him sob. He placed his forehead against mine, his eyes closed, tear tracks on the side of his cheeks as they fell. My dad was crying and I couldn't hug him, or tell him that I was fine.

He finally kissed my temple before standing, my mom bent to kiss my head.

"We'll be back tomorrow, the doctor said you will be released in a week or so depending on your progress." My dad said before he smiled at me, "Liam is outside to see you, are you up for that?" I guess I looked tired, I felt it but I nodded. I got butterflies in my tummy as I thought about him.

"I like him Aiden." Dad said suddenly as he was holding the door handle, "He's been here ever since he came back from his trip. He refused to leave your side. Gave the nurses and doctors a hell of a time till they gave up on telling him to leave the hospital. He's a keeper Aiden" I stared at him wide eyed.

He stayed with me the whole time? Then it hit me how long was I out, no one told me.

"Love you." my parents said together before leaving.

I'm not going to lie I was about to fall asleep from how exhausted I was. Which is stupid, I was in a coma for god sakes, I should be a awake for a good year after this. I waited for him to come in but my eyes were slowly closing, even though I begged them to stay open. I must have lost the fight but it didn't matter the moment Liam's warm tingling caress touched my arm I woke.

"Hey there." He said softly as he watched me. I smiled at him; releasing a sigh of contentment. I remember feeling this in the darkness. I always had this atmosphere of serenity. Now I knew where it was coming from.

"If you're tired you can sleep beautiful, so long as you wake up tomorrow." I knew it was a joke but I detected the hidden serious note it held. I weakly padded the bed and he slowly laid beside me. We were face to face now.

"I missed those eyes of yours." He whispered and I blushed but refusing to look away from him. It was dark out so the hospital staff was doing night rounds.

"I know that they said you have a minor case of amnesia but I'm so glad you didn't forget me, even for a moment." He said cupping my cheek. Tears filled my eyes.

"No one means as much to me as you do Aiden. I was willing to stay here for as long as you had to and even if you never woke, nothing in this world could make me leave your side. Never again am I leaving you Aiden." His eyes held so much emotion, it broke me and I started crying. He's been here with me for who know how long.

"I'm going to protect you till the day I die and even then I'll be watching over you." He wiped my tears away before tilting my chin up.

"I love you Aiden." His words clicked. My heart soared at those words as I closed my eyes savoring the lighter than air feeling it caused me. Those were the words that woke me up, those were the words that saved me from the terrifying dark that was going to swallow me back into the nothingness.

They were the words of Liam's love for me.

When I opened my eyes I saw his eyes were shut as if he were sleeping, his breathing steady. I watched as the light of the moon cast a light on his face enhancing his features. Those dark long lashes fanning over his tan cheeks, his dark hair had grown out since last I saw him, it hung over his forehead now. Those amazingly natural shaped eyebrows and perfect pink lips begging me to kiss them.

He was flawless and perfect.

Slowly I strained my muscles to reach up to remove my oxygen mask and leaned those few inches pressing my lips to his. I pulled back to let out short huffs from the struggle that caused me as I rested back. Peering back at Liam I found find him looking at me. He bit his bottom lips before raising up on his elbow and kissed me back. His tongue broke pass my weak lips massaging mine with his and I whimpered softly. My body was flying with sparks even though I could barely move it. I just wanted to wrap myself around Liam like a blanket.

He pulled back leaving my already breathless body without oxygen. He kissed me softly once more before putting the mask back in place and settling back beside me with a deep sigh.

"I...love...you." I whispered to his sleeping form, ignoring the pain it caused my throat.

It was all worth it.
