The Archer-Kate Bishop

Part 48

I could hear the faint sound of beeping as I slowly came to. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't, I couldn't move either. I could hear people walking up and down the corridors.

I could feel someone holding my hand, who I assume would be Kate. I slowly managed to move my fingers brushing my thumb up against Kate's hand.

"Y/n" Kate gasped.

My eyes fluttered open and I was immediately greeted by bright lights, I let out a groan and let my eyes adjust to the light.

I went to stand up but my dad reached forward to stop me.

"Take it easy kid" Clint said.

I lay back down resting my head back up against the pillow.

"Fuck I thought I died" I said.

"You did actually." Kate said.

"You were proclaimed dead for four minutes but the paramedics managed to get you back" Clint replied.

"I'm so sorry" I said.

"Y/n you don't need to apologise" Kate said.

"No I was an idiot it was my fault I got kidnapped I was being reckless" I sighed.

"Everyone makes mistakes Y/n, it wasn't your fault ok all that matters is that you're ok" Clint said.

"I'll go grab a nurse for you" Kate said.

I nodded and Kate stood up placing a kiss on my forehead before heading outside. As soon as she left the door I let out a groan grabbing my aching side, I hated Kate seeing me in pain.

Clint chuckled leaning forward to release some morphine into my system to ease the pain.

"I really thought you were gone forever" Clint sighed.

"You can't get rid of me that easily" I chuckled.

"Unfortunately I can not" Clint teased.

I offered him a small smile and my dad reached forward taking my hand.

"I love you so much Y/n" Clint said.

"I love you too dad" I replied.

"I'm so glad you're ok, I didn't know what to do when they told me your heart had stopped" Clint said.

He averted his gaze from me trying not to cry. I sighed rubbing my thumb over his hand.

"Dad I'm ok" I said.

"Yeah I know, I know" Clint replied.

He turned his attention back to me giving me a warm smile.

"Kate's still very shaken up about it" Clint sighed.

"I can only imagine I mean her mom was trying to kill me" I said.

"It wasn't the fact that it was her mom Y/n it was the fact that the person being hurt was you. Kate hated seeing you hurt like that and when she thought you died- look she really loves you Y/n" Clint said.

I nodded as I was about to reply Kate walked in along with the nurse. The nurse checked all my vitals and made sure I was ok giving me a run down of all of my injuries. The list incredibly long, as well as giving me some food.

The nurse left the room giving the police that were guarding my door a small nod as he left.

"I'll go call mom and tell her to come up she's downstairs with the kids" Clint said.

I nodded and Clint pecked my forehead heading out of the room leaving Kate and I.

"How are you holding up?" I asked.

"I'm fine I'm more worried about you, I- I thought you were going to die" Kate said.

"I'm not going anywhere" I said.

Kate chuckled pulling her chair closer to my hospital bed.

"I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't pulled through Y/n" Kate sighed.

"You don't have to think about it" I replied.

"What if one day something happens and you don't pull through" Kate said.

I sighed reaching up to cup Kate's face, she sighed nuzzling her hand against my palm.

"I can't assure you anything Kate I'm sorry but just know no matter what shit happens there is no one else I would eat be going it through" I said.

Kate gave me a small smile and moved her head to kiss my palm a small smile across her face.

"I'm just so scared" Kate muttered.

"I am too, I was so scared I was going to lose you it was the thought which plagued my mind when Eleanor told me I was going to die was you. I didn't want you to see that I didn't want you to lose me and more importantly I really didn't want to lose you" I said.

Kate sighed placing her hand on top of mine biting her lower lip.

"I love you so much Y/n"

"I love you more" I replied.

Kate chuckled lightly and leaned forward capturing our lips in a kiss. I smiled into the kiss feeling her soft lips on mine, a feeling I had missed.

We pulled away when I heard the sound of my siblings running into the room, specially Nathaniel who was shouting at me.

I laughed slightly wincing slightly at the pain which came along with it. My mom came around to envelope me in a hug.

"Oh sweetie I am so glad you're ok I was so worried" Laura said.

"I'm ok" I said.

She nodded kissing my forehead and pulling way to stand besides me resting her hand on my shoulder. Nathaniel jumped up onto the empty space on the bed tackling me with a cuddle.

I let out a small oof as he landed on one of my wounds, I ignored the pain though hugging me younger brother. Soon enough my other siblings ran forward to hug me.

"I'm so glad you're ok sis" Cooper said.

"Wow getting emotional there Coop" I teased.

"Shut up Y/n" Cooper laughed hugging me tighter.

My two younger siblings pulled away standing in the hospital room leaving Nate to stay on my bed.

"Daddy said your hurt" Nate said worried.

"I am but I'm ok buddy" I replied.

Nate reached up tracing his fingers over the bruises which scattered across my face.

"It's all purple" Nate said.

I smiled and gave him a nod wrapping my arm around my youngest brother. I looked over at Kate who was smiling down at me. I smiled back feeling grateful I was still alive.
