Marriage, a Heartstopper Fan-fiction

Chapter Twelve The island

I sat there itching my skin like crazy, there was probably Duck itch in the water by the island, all the ducks were surrounding around this small island because of the massive amounts of leach's. I had already picked off all the leaches on my body, Charlie's body, and Darcy's. Darcy couldn't even look at them she was so disgusted. We had been sitting here for around 20 minutes then I say "Darcy have you rested enough to swim back? Only swim back if your one hundred percent certain your ready" She then replies with "yeah I'm ready Tara's probably freaking out and the others too we should go." I looked at her and said "Don't worry about the others only if your ready to go" She smiles pats me on the back and says "yup i'm ready! let get out of here" I gently lifted Charlie's lifeless head and sat him up, I wanted to wake him up before we left. I couldn't tell if he was unconscious or just so exhausted to the point where he couldn't do anything. " Charlie you need to wake up now!" he blinks his eyes and try's to talk but no words come out. "Charlie you don't have to say anything, or do anything i'm going to put you on my back and swim us back to shore Ok?" Charlie's face was twitching a bit and he managed to nod his head every so slightly.

I carefully put him on my back and and start swim along side Darcy. I grab Darcy's arm and and link it to mine, we could still mange a full stroke well being linked together. I just needed to make sure nothing happened to her. After a while of swimming we reach the shore. Darcy went running towards Tara to hug her and I gently shifted Charlie off my back and cradle him in my arms. I started running up the beach towards the others, they were sitting on the blanket we had set out. Elle saw me from a distance then run up to me and takes one look at Charlie and asks "What's going on Nicolaus, What's wrong with Charlie, where were you guys, and why is Darcy crying?!!?" I kept running towards the others and said "No time to explain I need to drive Charlie to the hospital NOW!!" She runs along side me, once I reached the others they all asked me the same thing Elle said. I snapped "I DONT HAVE THE F@CKING TIME TO EXPLAIN I JUST NEED TO DRIVE CHARLIE TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!!" After I said that Darcy stands up tears still falling from her face and hands me my wallet, keys, and phone. I kissed her on the cheek and said "Darcy I will never be able to Thank you enough, I love you" her frown immediately turned into a smile. I headed towards the car, as I was frantically trying to open the door to the passenger seat as fast as I possible could Tara comes up behind me.

She scotches me out of the way and says "he's unconscious you have to recline the seat all the way back, so he's laying down and won't get wipe lash" she reclines the chair back and I place him down in the seat. She then buckles him in but locks the seat belt tight against him, so he couldn't move. She then leans down and kissed Charlie on the forehead and whispers something to him so quiet I couldn't hear. She then says "Thank you for saving Darcy she told me what happened" I smile and say "I love you and her like a sister of course I would save her, but i'm not the hero here she is, she risked her life to save Charlie" We exchange another smile before I get in the car and start driving towards the hospital. I wasn't No doctor but I knew there was something wrong with Charlie and it wasn't good. "Charlie I don't know if you can hear me or not but I need you to stay with me I can't lose you, I would be nothing without you, Life is not worth living without you so please be ok"

Five minutes into the car drive Charlie jerks awake he try's to sit up but can't. He starts moving and twisting trying to get out from the tight seat belt but he couldn't. he's starts acting irrational and starts whining my name "Nick" "Nick" trying not to freak out I say softly "Charlie were in the car your ok stop moving relax, your scaring me" He says "Nick your here....Where are you" My heart sank to the bottom of my chest and fell out of my body hitting the ground and shattered into a million pieces. Was Charlie blind why couldn't he see me, this thought made me nauseated. "Charlie can you see anything?" he reply's after a few seconds "yea but everything is spinning and I can see patches of colour everywhere" I felt like screaming THANK GOD this massive relief feel over my entire body. "Baby we're almost at the hospital ok, and i'm right beside you."

Finally we had arrived at the hospital, When I unbuckled Charlie's seat belt he he sighed in relief. I couldn't imagine how he felt, he couldn't see properly and was belted down to a seat. I myself who gets claustrophobic super easily could hardly think about it any longer. I picked Charlie up and carried him into the hospital. A nurse had caught a glimpse of me and came rushing over. "Can I see your friend please" she examines Charlie, well doing so he opens his eyes faintly and says "who is she?" "Babe she's a nurse, remember I told you we were going to the hospital?" he says "oh yea"
then shuts his eyes again. The nurse said he wasn't an emergency but she put him on a stretcher and placed us in a small room with curtains for walls. We were supposed to wait here until a doctor could check out Charlie. After a half an hour of waiting Charlie says "Nick please don't leave me I'm scared" I bursted out "Charlie I would never leave you" I then crawled up on the stretcher beside him and and laid there with him.
