The Story Of Us

Chapter 8

Emilia's POV
I groaned. I sat up. I regretted it.

Shit.

I curled up into a ball. I wrapped my arms around my waist. I started crying.

"Emi?!"

I picked my head up. Devin was running up to me. I put my hand out and he grabbed it.

"Oh my god! Y-you're still here!"

"Yeah. I-I am."

I sat up and started hugging him.

"Thank you!"

"Y-you want me here?"

I started nodding.

"I didn't think, you would."

I started hugging him tighter.

"Woah! Y-you're gonna crush me!"

I jumped back and let him go.

"I-I'm sorry."

He put his hand on my head and smiled.

"Y-you're smiling! You're smiling! You remember, how to smile!"

He put his hands on my shoulders.

"Woah. Stand down before, you pop a stitch or two."

I laughed awkwardly.

"Right. Sorry. I got excited. I'm uh...gonna lay back down."

I laid back down. He brought a chair over and sat down.

"So uh...how do you feel?"

"I have a hole in my side."

"Not good. Okay. My bad."

He cleared his throat.

"Sally's in jail. Mari sent me a video of her being handcuffed."

"Okay new rule. No talking about the bitch that wants me dead."

He chuckled.

"Got it."

"How's my mom?"

"At work. She was here a few hours ago. She was trying to get the day off."

"Bobby, is giving her a problem again?"

"What does that mean?"

"She tries to get days off."

I jumped up. I winced then wrapped my arms around my side.

"Shit!"

"What's wrong?"

"My dad! H-he probably knows, I'm here! O-oh god!"

"Uhhh. I'll be right back."

He stood up. I grabbed his hand.

"No! D-don't go!"

"I'll be right back."

He walked out of the room then came back with a nurse. I started backing up.

"Wh-what's happening?"

"Y-you're in pain right? I asked for your pain meds. What did you think, was gonna happen?"

I relaxed.

"Oh. I-I'm really sorry. I-I actually have no idea, what just happened."

After I was given my pain meds, the nurse walked away and Devin shut the door. He walked back up to me.

"Spill. Now. What happened?"

"I-I don't know. Please don't yell."

"Calm down. I know, I can't yell at you."

I winced.

"Ow. T-this really hurts."

"Lay down and stop getting up."

"Wait. Wait. I have to go to the bathroom."

He scooped me up and started walking to the bathroom.

"What're you doing?"

"Getting you to the bathroom."

"I-I'm sure, I could've walked."

He shook his head.

"Don't care."

He put me down in front of the bathroom.

"You're not following."

He crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

"No shit Sherlock. We're not that close yet."

"Awww! You wanna be close again!"

"Shut the fuck up and go to the bathroom."

I stuck my tongue out at him. I walked into bathroom and shut the door.

"Get me if you need me."

"Awww! How cute! You're standing guard!"

"I know what you're doing."
