0.3 {He's awake}

Vegas

"He's awake" Porsche's words make me jump from my bed, quickly getting dressed and rushing to get Maccu.
Our drive to the hospital was fast with no words spoken between us.

Pete was sitting up awake, my hearth swelled seeing with his eyes open, I went to approach him but Maccu stopped me and pointed to what the doctor was doing.
Pete had a scar staring at his colerbone and ending right at his hip.
I didn't relise the bullet would leave a scar in its wake.
"Will it heal"? Pete's voice cracked asking this.
I watch his expression, it's sad.
"It's already healed"
"Then why is it still there"? Pete's getting impatient.
"It's a permanent scar"
These words do it for Pete, his bitten lip trembles and eyes fill up with tears.
"Pete" I say after the doctor leaves.
Pete wraps the blanket over him and flinches away from me.
I stare in disbelief that he could be this cold.
"Please go" he says his voice weak and tired.
Doesn't he know I've spent all these months with him as a ghost of myself, missing him everyday and now he's pushing me away?
"Pete please" I beg trying to touch him but his body reacts like I'm hitting him, his body starts to shake and loud cries leave his lips.
I'm dragged out by Maccu.
Porsche rushes into Pete's room.
"Get him out"!
"I don't want to see him"!

Pete.
I can't bear the way he's looking at me, pitying me.
He won't understand anything I'm feeling right now, how much I'm disgusted by myself, he won't understand this.
"It's just a scar Pete " Porsche said earlier on this morning.
No it's not, you wouldn't understand. No one will ever understand how I feel.
It's s ugly scar, that everyone will see.
A ugly reminder of what happened to me.

I hear the door opening, I smell his scent and know it's him but I don't speak a word.
Tears are still falling and my body shakes.
I feel him getting in behind me, wrapping his arms around me.
My body relaxes.
"Go to sleep love" and I do feeling safer than I have since I woke up.

Sorry for the short chapter 🌈
