Beep, beep, beep ... Beep, beep, beep.

"I'm afraid he's not getting better."

"What we have to do something. I can't loose my baby."

I can hear beeping and what sounds like two people talking. I think one is my mom.

"I'm afraid if he's like this too much longer he may never come out." I here the unfamiliar voice say and wonder what he's talking about.

"No. There must be something you can do please." I can hear mom crying I want to reach out and touch her but I can't move.

"All we can do is keep him on life support. Otherwise he'll end up like his friend." And when he said that I knew what they were talking about. I'm dying. This must be a dream. I want to open my eyes to show them I'm fine but I can't move.

"Trace, Trace wake up." I wake up to Zack shaking me. "Are you OK? I heard you yelling and saw you crying. What happened?"

I push my head into his chest " I dreamed that I was dying. That I was stuck asleep and couldn't move. The worst part is I think you were already dead." I tell him through the tears head still pressed against his chest.

"Shhh. It's OK. It was only a dream. I'm right here." Zack tries to comfort me.

"It felt so real. I was scared that I losing everyone. Scared that I had lost you."

We fell asleep like that, him holding me in his arms I turned a little in my sleep putting my back to him but Zack never moved just held me making sure I knew he was there and wasn't going to leave me.

I woke up to something pressing against me, something big and hard pressed against my butt. It took me a minute to realize it was Zack's morning wood. The worst part was that I could feel my own erection throbbing even harder than before. I needed to do something, but then again Zack would understand it's natural besides the same thing is happening to him. But I didn't want to embarrass him so I tried to jump out of bed but Zack's hold was tight on me. I could feel Zack starting to stir and wake-up so I pretended to still be asleep. Then out of nowhere I fell a kiss on my cheek and then Zack saying I'll be right back. I open one eye to see Zack slipping on his flip flop's and walk out the door proudly to get breakfast.

When Zack comes back I'm already dressed in my swim shorts with my legs shaved a teal tank top to match and an open short sleeve flannel of the same color. With Zack's swim stuff layed out for him. It's practically identical to mine except of being teal and white it's red and black.

"So are we swimming or tanning today?" Zack asked when he walks in with a tray with my parfait and coffee.

"I figured a bit of both." I tell him taking my coffee from the tray.

"Sounds good. We should probably pack a beach bag." Zack says taking a sip of his coffee.

"Already got it in the other room." I tell Zack as I walk out to get it.

When I come back in I see Zack has started changing but hasn't gotten vary fare. He has removed his shirt and was working in his pants but was still in his jock strap leaving his butt on a pedicel wall he was bent over taking of his pants. I feel my face heating up and know that I must be blushing hard so I step back into the other room and call him

"Zack I've got four beach towels, two things of sun screen, two pairs of sunglasses, and a book." I yell to him so he doesn't know I was watching him.

"OK. So we’ll just stop at the little store in the lobby and pick up some drinks and snacks." Zack says as he walks into the doorway now fully dressed.

"Good then let's go." I say as I walk past him and out the door.

We walk out of the elevator and into the lobby and straight for the little convenience store that they have by the entrance to the beach.

"So. We want chips and peanuts for salty, Sour Patch Kids and Skittles for candy, four fruit cups for fruit. And finally some Brisk Half & Half teas. Am I missing anything?" Zack asked when he had gotten everything. Saying its name as he picked it up.

"No I think that's perfect." I tell him still surprised that he knows me so well. But comforted in the fact as if he was in my mind like he was a part of me I could never lose.

When we got to the beach I lay two beach blankets down. One for me and one for Zack. I decide to try to soak up some sun before getting in the water.

"Hey can you help me with my back?" Zack asked handing me a bottle of sunscreen shirt already off.

"Of course. Come here." I tell him taking the bottle. I put some on my hands and start putting it on his back. I had some extra so I start putting it on his arms. Now Zack only does two sports swimming and soccer but he was ripped. I could feel his muscles as I put the lotion on his arms and wished he'd let me put it on his chest just to feel his abs.

"Thanks I can get the rest." Zack says when I finish his arm.

"Yeah. No problem." I tell him handing over the bottle. And with that I lay down and watch him run out into the water.
