Luke's POV
I lifted my head up, wiped the dried drool from my mouth and looked around the room. During the middle of the night a nurse told me I couldn't sleep in the same bed so I had to get a chair and sleep next to it. Although, my hand was still intertwined with Juliet's. She was peacefully asleep. I gave her hand a little squeeze and her lips tugged into a small smile, even with unbrushed hair, slight smudges from makeup around her eyes, her mouth partially open, and all the IV's in her arm, she is still absolutely breath taking.
But of course somebody had to ruin it.
"Good morning Luke," the doctor walked in and quietly spoke seeing that Juliet was still sleeping.
"Good morning," I sat up straight and yawned.
"Any problems throughout the night?" He began checking her monitor and then writing things down on the clipboard he had.
"Not at all actually," I smiled.
"Good. Well can you wake her up? Her mother is here in the lobby waiting, fetch her when Juliet is ready." He nodded and then walked out of the room.
Shit.
I stood up, and put my other hand cupping Juliet's face, "Goodmorning beautiful," I whispered slightly shaking her hand. Her eyes slowly opened and she smiled at me. "Your mom is here." And there goes that smile. "I'm supposed to send her in when you're awake."
"I'm going back to sleep then." She forcefully shut her eyes and I sighed.
"C'mon, I'll talk to her before she comes in so you're not completely bombarded with questions okay?"
"I guess...thank you Luke." She looked back up at me.
"Any tim-" I began to say but I was cut off.
"No, not just for now but for last night, for saving me, staying with me, sleeping with me, and putting up with me," she looked away from me and at our hands.
"Don't thank me, please, I do all of this because I love you. No matter how much we fuck up, I will always love you in the end." I leaned down and gave her a little kiss which made her face go pink. "I'm gonna go get your mom, okay?" I mumbled staying close to her.
"Alright."
I left the room, once I got to the waiting area Mrs. Lena immediately stood up and rushed towards me. "Is she okay?" Wow, not the first kind of reaction I was expecting.
"She's fine, she's a little shooken up so please don't be hard on her. She has a lot in her mind right now and I'm doing my best to fix it." I explained to her.
"I don't need you fixing my daughter, that's my job." She pushed past me and I followed her to Juliet's room. When we entered Juliet looked up and the doctor was back in the room.
"Juliet, Honey, are you alright?" She rushed over to her bedside and gave her a awkward hug.
"I'm fine mom." Juliet said in a monotonous tone.
"What the hell were you thinking? I mean suicide? Why?" Her mom quickly spoke.
"I wasn't thinking." Juliet looked down, she was going to cry I know it.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Lena, I am going to need you to sign some release forms for Juliet, whenever you're ready they will be at the front desk." The doctor chimed in before going to the room next door.
"Juliet, I told you living here with your boyfriend was a bad idea. Did he make you do this?" Her mom hissed.
"No, he didn't, he actually saved me so I'd appreciate it if you stopped dissing him like he's not even in the room because if it wasn't for Luke I would be dead mom!" Juliet yelled but her voice was raspy and scratchy.
