If You're Fine, Then I'm Fine

Chapter Twenty-One

tw: self harm, bandages/blood wounds, hospitals and needles

Carlos' pov

I carry Lea to the hospital building, Cora following quickly behind. Lea's eyes flicker, but she isn't conscious. I wanna cry. I want to scream. I want to stab Omen in the fucking dick. No more kids for you you selfish asshole.

Anyway.

I rush to the sliding doors that open for automatically. Nurses, doctors and receptionists stand near and behind the front desk. They lock eyes with me.

Okay. Yep, I'm crying now. Gosh I am so fucking overwhelmed. Me and Akina are dating and now Lea has been stabbed? My best friend. So much good and so much bad.

"No time to explain, she has been stabbed in the thigh and she is unconscious now. Help us," Cora tells them, with a very serious tone.

Never heard her that serious before.

"Okay, we have a room up back. Kid holding her, you take her there with Doctor Welts, she knows what to do," One of the nurses replies.

I adjust Leanna in my arms then run with the doctor.

We swerve through the people. Tears still rushing down my face.

We arrive at the bed.

"Okay, put her down on the bed, I will take it from here. You wait on the chair my love," The doctor affirms.

"Got it doc," I sob back.

I gently place Lea on the bed then watch her get wheeled away by Doctor Welts and some other people. It was bards to see through my wet eyes.

I flip onto the chair behind me. I slowly drift off to sleep.

"Carlos? Carlos!" Cora shakes me awake.

I jump, "Yep! What? I was awake the whole time,"

She crosses her arms, "Uh huh. Well Lea is back but she is still a bit woozy, so let her wake up on her own. I will go find the others, or go home. Which ever happens first,"

There we go, sarcastic and fun Cora is back.

"Okay. Thank you for helping me. Goodbye Cora,"

Cora walks out the door. She gently shuts it behind her.

Lea mumbles. She shuffles a bit then falls back down into sleep.

Although she isn't awake, I hold her hand.

I look at her thigh. There is a bandage over it. Also cuts from when she used to self harm. I smell the hospital air. Hand sanitiser and medicine. I listen to the beeping of the hospital. Small conversations across the building. Lea also has a needle in her arm. I hate needles so I am glad it's not me.

My phone buzzes.

It's my dad.

"Hey, is Leanna okay? She came out to her mum. It went terribly." It reads.

She didn't tell me she came out. I mean, it went badly so fair, but I am her best friend.

Now I'm worried.

Shut up Carlos. Oh my god. It is fine. You're fine. Lea is awake. Omen has been captured. You are safe an-

LEA IS AWAKE!

"Hey. Did I hit my head or die?" She mutters.

I chuckle, then hug her, gently, "No Lea, you are not dead. Nor did you hid your head,"

She looks at me, completely confused, "Then why am I here?"

"Look at your thigh,"

Her eyes widen, "Oh my god. It was Omen wasn't it?"
