Savior

For A Moment

"Cameron....?" A male voice echoes through my ears. And a tall figure comes into focus.

"Cameron...? You awake?" He asks.

"Hmmmm" I manage to get out. I'm so exhausted.

"I'm Doctor Shank. Could you tell me how many fingers I'm holding up?" He says and holds up 3 fingers.

"Three." I say and notice the bandages on my wrists and also notice Anthony is gone. "Where's my boyfriend?" ...did I just say that... "I MEAN Anthony... Where's Anthony?"

"He left."

"....left...?"

"Not in that kind of way. He was a mess and went to the restroom to relax for a moment. He'll be back."

"Oh. Okay." With that my shoulders and body relax and I allow my eyes to close for a few moments.

And then the door opens.

"Any news...?" I hear Anthony ask.

"ANTHONY!!!!" I yell and hold my arms out for a hug.

He runs over and pulls me into his chest.

"Thank God you're okay." He whispers in my ear. "I don't know what I would do without you."

"Thanks for staying." I whisper.

"She's doing good, responding well. Blood pressure is good, hydrated, everything looks normal." Doctor Shank interrupts.

"So she can go home?" Anthony asks, looking confused.

"No..." Doctor Shank starts.

"NO!? Why NOT!?" Anthony yells

"...Anthony..." I look up to him. He's sitting on the bed, holding me in his arms. He looks down and gives me a smile as if to say 'oops sorry'.

"We want to keep her here a little bit to see how bad her depression gets." Doctor Shank replies.

"UMMM WELL you should ask ME about this. Because OBVIOUSLY it's going to get pretty bad if I'm locked in this room all day!" I yell.

"...Cam..." Anthony looks down at me.

"Well your boyfriend here can stay with you whenever he wants, along with your friends and family."

"Boy... Wait. What?" Anthony blushes and looks at me.

"Yeah aren't you two dating...? She did call you that when she woke up and asked where you were." Doctor Shank adds. Now I'm blushing.

"Um." I clear my throat and Doctor Shank walks out of the room.

"So. Boyfriend?" Anthony asks.

'Well... I mean. No. I mean. Yeah. Or. Wait... Um. Do you...?" I stutter. Damn I sound like a 5 year old.

"Yes." He says and smiles widely.

He leans down and kisses my lips, and in that moment everything froze. Everything was okay for a moment, for a moment my life was perfect, for a moment... I was happy.

Then there was a knock at the door and Doctor Shank walked in.

"Okay, so we would like to keep you here for the next couple days. You are allowed to have visitors, but you are not allowed to leave the hospital from this moment until we allow you. Any questions?"

Dammit, I hate him. I hate the hospital, I hate everyone... Except Anthony. But most of all I hate my life.

"Am I allowed to bring things from her house?" Anthony asked.

"Yes, of course. As long as its nothing destructive to her, like blades or pills, yes."

"What should I bring for you?" Anthony asks as he looks down towards me.

"Oh, you don't need to bother. I'm fine." I lie, because, well, I'm not fine. The only thing that's FINE is me having one person, Anthony.

"No, I insist. I'll surprise you. Okay?" He asks, and well, I can't say no.

"Okay." I lie.

"Great! I'll be back as soon as I can. I promise. It'll take me a little to walk to your house, but I'll bring my car back here." He says and leans down to give me a kiss and a hug. "I'll be back," he whispers. "I promise."

He pulls away and gets up to leave. "See ya later Doctor." Anthony waves and walks out.

"If you need anyone, press this green button for a nurse. I must go check on my other patients." Doctor Shank says pointing to the button and walks out of the small, baby blue, hospital room.
