Falling For You

14. My Little Secret

Luke's P.O.V

"It's late. I'm going home." Sara yawned.

"Okay. Goodnight." I replied quietly.

Sara nodded and slowly got up from her chair which was next to the door.

"Bye." she waved and left the room, closing the door behind her.

I look back at Rosie. It seems like she is in so much pain. She's been asleep ever since Sara and I have got here. Her mouth is covered with a mask that provides her with oxygen. Additionally, she has an IV stuck in her hand which helps soothe the pain with strong painkillers and antibiotics which kill any bacteria. Not only does she have the mask and IV needle, but she also has a machine next to her bed which constantly beeps, to let us know that her heart is still beating and that fucking machine is causing me major anxiety.

I shoved my hand in my pocket, reaching for my phone. I pressed the button and my screen lit up, revealing the time which was 6 am. I put my phone back into my pocket and wrapped Rosie's cold hands with mine. I didn't know what else I could do. I couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Sir." the door opened slightly to reveal the same nurse as previously.

"It's late." she explained.

"I know." I responded. My eyes still focused on Rosie.

"You should get some rest and come back later in the afternoon." the nurse whispered.

"What would you do if your best friend was in an accident and was hospitalized? Would you just leave and go to the warmth of your house while your best friend is all alone with masks, tubes and fucking machines surrounding her? Would you just go and lie in the comfort of your soft bed, knowing that she is all alone in a hospital room, with no one to hold her and tell her that everything is going to be alright when she wakes up? Would you want her to wake up and have no one by her side? Would you fucking do that?" I blurted furiously and noticed the nurse's face become pale.

"Understood." the nurse nodded and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Once the nurse left the room, I returned my focus back to Rosie.

How did things get this way?

I lower my head and I could feel my eyes starting to burn and fill up with tears.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered, tears rolling down my cheeks.

"I'm so sorry I didn't answer. If only I would have just answered." I exclaimed furiously.

I lowered my head, my hands still holding Rosie's and I close my eyes.

Sara's P.O.V

I walked through the doors of the hospital and head towards Rosie's room to find Luke fast asleep and his fingers were intertwined with Rosie's.

Had he really fallen asleep while holding her hands?

"Luke." I whispered.

"Huh?" Luke shot up.

"Good morning." I giggled.

"Sara, go home and come tomorrow. It's late and you should rest. I'll stay with her." Luke mumbled.

"Erm, dude, I don't know if you know this but it kind of is tomorrow right now." I laughed.

"Wait what?" Luke blinked, adjusting himself from waking up from such a long sleep.

"It's like 3 pm." I announced.

Luke got up to stretch and as he stretched, his shirt slightly lifted to reveal his V line and I also managed to get a sneak peek of his abs.
