-------------------------
When me, Juniper, Athena and Mr Wright ran into Courtroom Number 4 looking for Apollo, I was completely shocked when I saw Apollo's body lying on the ground unconscious. Both me and Athena screamed, alerting the courthouse security. The four of us were ushered out of the courtroom and Apollo was brought to the hospital. I leaned into Athena, not wanting to see him like that, and tried to stop myself from crying.
Unfortunately, the bailiffs heard my and Athena's screams and came running in and ushered the four of us out. Apollo was soon taken to the hospital, and Mr Wright allowed me to go with him. I would have protested, but he cut me off, "(Y/n), I know that you love him. Leave Juniper's safety to me and Athena. You stay with Apollo and make sure he's okay. Text one of us when he wakes up, okay?"
I nodded, "Okay, Mr Wright. Will do."
-----------------------
I stayed with Apollo the whole time he was unconscious. Even to the point where I ended up telling the nurse that he was my boyfriend, something that I wouldn't actually be opposed to so that she'd let me stay with him until he woke up, as I was there past visiting hours. I stayed the whole time.
"Please, Apollo. I can't lose you. Please, you have to wake up." I took his now bandaged hand and rubbed the back of it, "Polly, please. I-I love you. Please wake up." I ended up falling asleep, my head lying on his hospital bed.
--------------------
I was woken up when I felt someone stroking my head. I shot up to see Apollo, awake and smiling down at me, "Have a good rest, (Y/n)?" I smiled widely and before I had realised it, I had kissed him. I broke off the minute I realised and tried to change the subject, "I'm so glad you're okay, Apollo. Nearly loosing you was the most unbearable pain I've ever felt." He didn't reply but brought a hand up to his mouth, "You... kissed me... You just kissed me..." Before I had a chance to defend myself, the nurse walked back in, "I see you're awake. How are you feeling, Mr Justice?"
"I feel fine. Thank you for asking."
"That's good. You know your girlfriend has been here since you arrived. She refused to leave."
Apollo blinked a few times before turning to me, "Did you?" I bit my lip and nodded, "Okay fine, I admit it, I told them I was your girlfriend so they'd let me stay with you. I didn't want to leave you here alone and Mr Wright told me to stay with you until you woke up."
He blinked a couple of times before it clicked in his head, "You know, (Y/n), calling you my girlfriend has a nice ring to it. You can be if you want to."
"Are you saying you love me, Apollo?" I asked, hope in my voice. He nodded, "Yeah, I-" I didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence as I leaned down and kissed him again. I smiled and broke off, hugging him, "I love you too, Polly."
"(Y/N)!" I broke away from Apollo immediately and sat back down in the chair that was beside his bed, pretending like I hadn't just kissed him... twice. Athena then barged through the door, "Has he woken up yet?!"
"If I wasn't already, I would have been woken up with your shouting, Athena," Apollo responded, making the rest of us chuckle.
"Polly!" Trucy squeaked running up to the side of his bed and carefully hugging him, "You're okay!"
"I'm fine. No need to worry, Truce."
"Wait a minute," Trucy started, "Why are both your faces red?" I bit my lip and refused to look at her, Apollo doing the same, giving Trucy her message, "Something happened didn't it?! What happened? Tell me everything!"
"Trucy, stop pestering them. I'm sure they'll tell you in their own time. You can't force it upon them," Mr Wright spoke, thankfully, Trucy stopped perstering us about what happened. So totally not like how you've been perstering me to tell Apollo I had a crush on him for the past 3 years, Mr Wright? Wait a minute.... This was your plan wasn't it? You wanted me to go with Apollo so that we'd be alone while you were at the trial in the hopes that it might get a confession out of me... You sneaky lawyer-
"-What about you, (Y/n)?" I snapped out of my daze, "Yeah? What were we talking about? I was having a moment, thinking to myself."
"When are you going to confess to your crush?!" Trucy asked me. I giggled, "What you were asking before? Already happened."
She squealed, "Finally!" I just chuckled and turned to Apollo, who was now trying to get out of bed, "Must defend Juniper...." Before he could get out, I pushed him back down, "And where do you think you're going, Mister?"
"Must defend Juniper..."
"No, you're staying here until the doctor gives you the all clear! Mr Wright and Athena can handle Junie's case."
"And this is why I fell in love with you, (Y/n). You're always so protective and optimistic about everything," he responded, taking my cheek in his hand and bringing me closer to him, kissing me, something I happily returned. There were the sounds of girly squeals and chuckling, but we just ignored it, "I love you, Apollo. Don't ever scare me like that again."
"I'll try not to, (Y/n). I love you too."
