The One To Save You || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 24:

Rose's P.O.V. -

"Luke Hemmings' family?" She was checking to make sure it was us. We nodded, too scared to actually say anything.

"Luke will be okay. It might be a bit hard for him to move his left arm for a while, but he'll be just fine." She said. I hadn't realized I stopped breathing until I let go a bunch of air I was holding in.

Luke's okay.

Luke isn't dead.

And he's okay.

Except he cant move his left arm for a while.

But we can deal with that.

Because he's okay.

"Can we see him?" I asked her immediately. I needed to see him and make sure everything was really okay.

"Yes, but not too many of you at once."

Thank God.

"You can go first, Rose. It's okay." Liz said smiling sincerely.

I ran to the room, not even bothering to say thank you. But Liz knew I wasn't being rude.

I found the room he was in, but I didn't go right inside. I stood outside of the closed door and prayed. I just prayed that he was as okay as they say he is and that this won't mess anything up for him.

And with that, I opened the door.

Luke's P.O.V. -

I don't even know what happened, or where I am.

Looking at my surroundings, I think it's a hospital bedroom.

But why in the world was I laying in a hospital bedroom?

As I reached up to fix my hair, my shoulder was suddenly hit with a truckload of pain.

When I looked down, I saw that it was all bandaged up.

What did I do? Last thing I remember was walking out of the bathroom in the restaurant, seeing Rose sitting there waiting for me.

Wait, Rose. Is she okay? Is she worried about me? Oh God, I hope she's okay.

And with that, she walked into the room; slowly at first, but then when she saw I was awake, she ran to me faster than I've ever seen anyone run, and hugged me as tight as she could.

I winced as she touched my bad shoulder.

"Oh gosh, I'm sorry Luke. I forgot..." She said, looking down and crying.

"Shhh Rosie it's okay I'm fine. Just hurt a little that's all. Don't cry. I'm okay." I said, trying to reassure her.

"This is all my fault..." she said sobbing, looking at my shoulder.

Whatever did happen to me, I bet it was no where near her fault.

"Rose, what happened to me? I just remember walking out of the bathroom, and then it's like everything went black."

"I'm not surprised...." She whispered. I didn't think I was supposed to hear it, but I did.

"When you were walking back, a lady came and blocked your way. It was my mom. She was holding a gun to your head. I came to jump on her and stop her, but she already fired her gun. Luckily, it landed in your shoulder and not your head. But you still lost a lot of blood...." She stopped there.

"Andddd....?"

"You died, Luke. You stopped breathing. While we were in the ambulance, they brought you back. But it was so close...." She was full out sobbing now. I feel terrible that she's crying over me.

"Listen, Rosie, stop crying. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm here, and I'm okay, and I'm not leaving you anytime soon, okay? I love you so much."

"But you are leaving me, Luke. You're touring the world..."

"Well that doesn't matter. I'll be back before you know it. And while I'm gone, I'll only be thinking about you and how much I love and miss you. You're the only person I ever want to be with. I can't imagine being with anyone else since I met you. You're my best friend, my everything. You'll never lose me, and I hope I never lose you. I love you to the moon and back. Even more."

Rose's P.O.V.

I hope he really means that.

I kissed him. I had no other words, and I felt that was the appropriate response.

Being that he kissed me back, I think he thought that was a great response.

When we pulled out of the kiss, I was still crying.

Of course, its because Luke almost died and now realization hit that he's leaving for tour in less than a week. But its also happy tears of just how much I love him.

Luke came home with us later that day, and I ended up staying over at the Hemmings' house.

I couldn't sleep alone after all that happened today.

My mom tried to kill Luke, and she would've came for me next.

I hope she never gets out of jail. She deserves to rot there. Actually, jail is like mansion compared to what she deserves.

But I'm just tired after everything I've went through so I fell asleep almost right when I got in bed.

Luke had his arms wrapped around me and his head nuzzled in the crook of my neck. I could stay like this forever.

And, just peacefully wrapped in his arms, is how I fell asleep.

Hi guys! Sorry it's been so long since I updated.

Poor Luke yay he's okay! I was dying writing these last couple chapters.

Hope you all liked it.

My wattpad is deciding not to show me the right amount of reads on the chapters, so I'm not really sure whether or not I'm getting my reads or not, and that's why I'm not updating. Sorry. :(

30 reads for the next chapter.
