Chapter 55

My tears started to flood out my eyes. Gary basically saved mine and Robbie's lives. I blame myself. Well it is my fault all this is my fault! "Yaz??? Why are crying?" Robbie looked worried at me gripping to my shoulders. "G...G...Gary.." I mumbled. "What about him?" Robbie raised his eyebrow. "He's....He's...d...d..." I couldn't even bring myself to let those words leave my lips. "Dead?" Robbie spoke it for me. I burst into tears holding him as tight as i could. "Yaz?" Robbie seemed confused. I couldn't speak. I'm hurting too much. Unbelievable. I can't believe i'm thinking this, but... i love Gary... i love Gary Barlow! "I need to see him..." I wiped my eyes. "I'll come with you..." Robbie took hold of my wheel chair. "No... i... i need to do this alone."

The nurse took me to Gary's room and slowly wheeled me beside his bed. "He's asleep." She whispered to me. What??! So he's not dead!??? Oh thank god! "H....He's....alive?" It almost came as a whisper. "Yes hun... just resting he's got a burn on his left arm, but that will heal. He was lucky. Hiding under the desk." My heart felt like it was going to explode. Happiness was a big part. "T....Thank you..." The nurse walked away leaving me and Gary alone. For a few minutes i didn't know what to say. "G....Gary..." I whispered. He didn't reply. Was he unconscious? The nurse never said. "Y....You saved my life... both of our lives... you're a true hero." Still Gary didn't answer. "I...I've been having these feelings.... since we first... you know... but after this it's become clear..." I took a deep breath. "G....Gary...Barlow.... i love.. you..." My tears fell again and slowly i touched his hair and closed my eyes. Unexpectedly his hand moved and my eyes snapped open. Gary sat up in bed pulling out two headphones. "Oh... Hello Yasmin?" Gary smiled. What...just...happened?! I was in complete shock. My mouth even opened slightly. "Yasmin? Are you okay?" Gary looked at me. I didn't know what to do. I just burst into tears hugging him tightly.
