ꨄRiver's POVꨄ
My eyes fill with tears at Maeve's question. Out of all the things she could have asked, that's what she chose.
I hate myself for hurting someone so precious-someone I love.
I never wanted to be apart of it. Yet, I didn't really have a choice.
My eyes widen in sudden panic when I realize that Maeve has fallen asleep.
"Maeve?" I mutter, my voice panicked. I shake her thigh much rougher than I had earlier.
No response.
"Fuck....fuck fuck fuck!" I yell in a sad frustration, banging my palms against the steering wheel.
My mind was racing, what do I do?
Okay. Hospital. I need a hospital.
But would that be safe?..
I groan in frustration. I park the car with a screech. We were now on the side of the road. Hurriedly turning in my seat, I rip off a chunk of my shirt.
"Okay you got this," I whisper to myself. I gently take Maeve's hand into mine and tightly wrap the fabric around it.
I hope and pray that this will stop the bleeding.
I slump in my seat, running my hands down my face-more aggressively than needed.
I take a few deep breaths and look back over to Maeve.
I frown and wipe the stray hairs from her face, placing a gentle kiss to her temple.
'Okay. Now hospital,' I thought in determination.
I adjust myself in my seat, not bothering to put on my seat belt and start the car.
I check our surroundings in the car mirrors making sure no one has followed us.
Clear.
I let out a deep breath of air and drive as fast as I can without it being too dangerous.
My anxiety was skyrocketed. My eyes continually switching back and forth between the road ahead of me, the mirrors, and Maeve.
♡︎
We finally arrive at a hospital a good way from my mothers home. This situation is risky, her community is huge and you'll never know who to trust.
I sigh heavily and get out the car making my way to Maeve's side.
I open the door, place a kiss to her head, and pick her up as gently as possible.
"We're going to get through this my love." I mutter even though she can't hear me.
I walk up to the automatic hospital doors-everyone's eyes snapping to me.
"She needs a doctor. Now." I say, keeping my voice strong.
A skinny male doctor nods and quickly scribbles something onto a paper.
Paramedics rush forward with a push bed to take her to a room. I follow closely behind.
"We'll take it from here. Have a seat please." A different doctor said and shut the door in my face.
I blinked, then sat down-not really having any other options.
Alone with my thoughts, I rest my face in my hands. I let all the frustration, fear, anger, and sadness rush out of me.
All of the stress.
The sobs that escaped me were merciless. I wasn't crying just for me. I was crying for Meave.
My nails dug into my palms as I curled them into a fist, punching at my legs. A horrible habit I have yet to break.
I stop and take a deep breath.
Like a switch has been flipped, It all stops.
I sit numbly-wipe my tears.
I stare ahead of me, my insides still sobbing for me and my darling Meave.
I wish we lived in an alternate reality, one where Maeve and I could be happy. At peace.
♡︎
"Meave? Anyone here for Meave?"
My eyes snap open and I hop to my feet. "Yes sir, I'm here for her."
The doctor sighs.
"She will be fine; long story short. She is extremely dehydrated and her stress levels are skyrocketed. She lost a lot of blood but we were able to fix that."
I nod, my shoulders dropping in relief.
"Can I see her?" I quickly ask.
He nods, "She's asleep now."
I quickly nod and rush into the room.
My heart broke at the sight ahead of me. Maeve laying there. The machine attached to her.
Her face looked slightly pale. She was still beautiful nonetheless.
I sit in the seat next to her hospital bed-taking her hand in mine.
I place a gentle kiss there before laying my head on the hospital mattress.
I sigh softly, only now realizing how tired I was.
I blink a few times, muttering a soft 'I love you' to Maeve. Then I close my eyes, letting a light slumber consume me.
A part of me anxious for Maeve's reaction when she wakes up.
♡︎
Fingers running through my hair quickly startles me out of my sleep.
I flinch and lift my head only to be met with Maeve's soft eyes.
"Maeve." I whisper under my breath, still not fully believing she's here.
She cracks a smile, her beautiful eyes filling with tears.
I smile back and quickly place kisses on every inch of her face and lastly landing a peck to her lips.
I feel tears fall from my eyes as I grasp her face in my hands.
"I thought I was going to lose you-that it was all my fault. Maeve I'm so so sorry, please believe me. I promise I never wanted this. I love you so much." I cry, my voice cracking in a whimper.
Maeve grabs my hand and gives it a squeeze trying to soothe my rant.
"We have a lot to talk about..but for now..come here." She smiles softly holding her arms out for me.
I lean forward and cuddle into her neck, feeling the warmth of her skin against mine.
The best feeling in the world.
"I love you Maeve."
"I love you more."
