Red Band Society: Perfect-ish

Chapter 17: What does lonely mean?

Leo's POV:

Damnit! Why did i always do this? I'm always hurting the people I love. I mean, ever since Emma and I broke up, I just stop by Sabrina's room to see her gorgeous face. She was nice to everyone, even me. I mean yeah, Im the popular guy, or I used to be. Now i'm just the bald cancer kid with a missing leg. And with Sabrina, I always felt like I was more than that.

When I saw Charlie kissing that Serena slut literallyinside Sabrina's room, I was pissed. I was about to walk in to punch him when suddenly Sabrina's hand slipped off of the bed, my heart stopped. I heard the rapid beeping and ran inside. After running in, I just kept saying things like, Sabrina wake up!" or "Are you okay?"

And now she was resting her head on my chest and I just realized how much I was in love her.

Sabrina's POV:

at first, it was just like a bounce off guy to make me feel better. Now,it was something different. Soemthing that to this day I cannot explain what I felt.

Vulnerablity, happiness, excitement, and on top of all these feelings, I was absolutely terrified. After Charlie destroyed my heart, I promised myself to never fall in love ever again. And I made it my new rule.

But it was inevitable. It was bound to happen. I was bound to fall in love wth Leo.

There was one thing that did bother me though when I was lying on his chest. What was that light?? I didn't know an dI couldnt understand it.

"Sabrina, I think my surgery is ending. Im going to leave but as soon as I can, I'm staying your room with you until you wake up. I promise that I'm not gonna leave you. I'm not gonna do what Charlie did. I am going to everything Charlie didn't do.I love you."

A kiss was gently placed on my forehead and I saw him float up and leave.

I know as much as being broken hurts, being alone is way worse.
