Savior

It's not home if you don't enjoy the stay.

We had sat there in silence for 10 minutes. Just the sound of beeping machines and people talking and walking by my room. I felt his eyes on me the whole time, but I couldn't look into his beautiful eyes. I can't fall for him again. I'm just going to keep trying to kill myself until I finally succeed. He doesn't deserve that kind of pain in his life. Finally the door to the room slowly opens.

"Cam, you may get dressed and head home. I checked your file, this is your 4th time in the hospital for a suicide attempt? Why, darling?" Nurse Kane asks with pity in her eyes and tone of voice.

"Why does it matter to you? It's my life. So don't get involved." I was irritated with all the pity.

"We suggest for you to go to a therapist. You will meet with her,"

"THERAPIST!? YEAH NO THANK YOU! I'm not going to talk about my feelings to some stranger. And I'm also not paying for that!" I looked down and saw my bag in her hands. "GIVE ME THAT! NOW!" I yelled at her. She seemed shocked and horrified at my reactions. She slowly walked over and put my bag on the bed. "Thank you." I said.

"Yes, umm, you may get dressed. Just let me unhook you." Nurse Kane said as she walked around the bed to the machines, pressing buttons and unplugging things from the machine and me. "There you go. All set. You can get dressed and sign out when you're done." Nurse Kane walked out and closed the door behind her.

"Are you going to leave?" I asked Anthony.
He stood up and walked the few steps over to me.
He grabbed my hand and kissed my cheek.

"No." He whispered into my ear. "I won't leave you. Come on let's get you dressed."

We were walking to my house since Anthony apparently drove with me in the ambulance, and I obviously didn't have my car. It was starting to rain but we weren't far from my house, just a block or two.

"We better run to your house!" Anthony said as he sped.

"HA! you're funny. I'm so not running right now!"

"Fine I'll carry you." And with that he swooped me up bridal style and started walking.

I was actually laughing. There was a real smile on my face. That hadn't happened in a long time.

I was laughing so much I could barely even get out my words.
".... What... Wha-... What are... You.... What are you doing!?" I said still laughing like a little girl.

"I'm carrying you home, although there's one problem... I don't know where you live!"

"I'll lead you there. Unless you don't put me down, then I have to give you directions." I said.

"DIRECTIONS IT IS!" he said and we both laughed as he marched along like I was his prized possession.

People walking by just looked at us like we were the cutest thing. The rest of the way was just a mixture of "take a left." "Take a right" "go here" the whole way home, almost like I was a GPS. Then finally we were at my doorstep.

"Well this is it. My home. Although its not really home if you don't enjoy the stay." I said as I reached in my bag for my key. "So I guess this is it then. You're just gonna leave and we'll probably never speak again except an occasional 'hello how have you been' kind of thing. Right?" I asked while I messed with my keys and finally unlocked the door.

"Well, damn. You can't get rid of me that easy! No. I mean I guess I'll leave now, I suppose you don't want company at the moment." He said and started to turn around as I opened the door.

I turned around and grabbed his arm. "Get in here, I don't want to be alone." I said. He looked so thrilled yet confused yet also very sad all at the same time. I didn't even give him a tour or tell him anything about the house.

I simply said "make yourself at home. I'll make us popcorn." I threw my bag on the couch and he sat down next to it.

I ran to the kitchen and opened the cupboard. I was always stocked up on popcorn and I found 3 boxes laying on top of one another. I grabbed one, tore it open, and grabbed a bag.

"ANTHONY COME HERE!" I yelled through the house. He came jogging in.

"What's up gurl" he said resting against the door way, trying to act all cool.

"Stop it. What do you want to drink?" I said, laughing once again.

"Whatever you're having pretty girl." He said all seductively, still trying to act cool.

"Fine. Kool-aid it is." I said grabbing two Spongebob cups.

"OH MY GOSH! SPONGEBOB!!! I LOVE IT!" Anthony yelled. He ran over to me and gave me a hug from behind. "you're the BEST! I mean like come on now! SPONGEBOB CUPS!" He said.

I turned my head to see his big smile plastered on his face. His gleaming brown eyes and amazingly white teeth. He had the kind of eyes you get lost in, and for a moment, I did.

"What are you looking at?" He asked, still smiling all flirty-like. I guess I stared a little too long.

"Um.. Nothing. Just your eyes are really nice, and your smile is pretty nice too." I said turning my head to face front again.

He was still hugging me.

"You're too cute." He said smiling bigger than before. "I'll get the kool-aid." He laughed and walked over to the fridge. "Here ya go ma'am." He said walking over and handing me the drink.

The microwave beeped and Anthony grabbed a large popcorn bowl.

I was pouring the drinks and turned to hand his to him "Here ya go sir."

"Why thank you." He said all formally.
I hopped up on the counter and started eating some popcorn. "So what would you like to do?"

"Let's watch a movie!" He laughed and ran to the living room with his drink and the popcorn.

"GET BACK HERE WITH MY POPCORN!" I yelled and hopped down. I ran after him into the living room where my huge shelf full of movies stood.

"We could watch the Spongebob movie...?" I said slowly.

"I would love to."

I walked over to this little book shelf which had all the kid and Disney movies on it. I grabbed Spongebob and put it in the DVD player.

"You have so many movies!" He said.

"Like my dad used to say, you can never have too many movies." I said as I pressed play on the remote and turned up the surround-sound. All my blankets were surrounding my couch, which I was glad about because I didn't feel like running upstairs.

I looked over and Anthony was laying on the couch. "Come here."

"No I'll sit over here..."

"PWEEEEZ Cam. For meee."

"Ugh. Fine." I walked over and laid down next to him.

He put his arms around me and the movie started. I grabbed the popcorn from the table and put it next to me.

"You better share that." He giggled.

"You can reach over me and get some for yourself."

And so he did. We laid there cuddling watching Spongebob and Patrick being Goofy-Goobers.

I hope you're all enjoying it... The story is a little cheesy. But whatever. Cam and Anthony are so cute though.
Stay beautiful.
