Leonardo DiCaprio Short Stories

Accidents IV

I sat with Leo for the rest of the day, just talking to him and begging him to wake up. He didn't.

Leo's mom came back around 8 pm and made me go back home. I didn't want to leave Leo, but I knew his mom would appreciate the time alone with him. I gently kissed his lips before heading back home.

I took a shower, once again using Leo's three-in-one and wearing another one of his sweatshirts to bed. I tried to sleep in my own bed that night, but no matter how many different ways I laid or tired to fall asleep, I couldn't get my brain to stop spinning. I got up and went to sleep in Leo's bed again, falling asleep almost immediately. The smell of him and the thought that he was in this bed just a few days ago was enough to bring me comfort.

The next morning, I put on a pair of black, ripped jeans and wore Leo's yellow sweater, pairing it all with my Docs. I threw my hair into a high ponytail and settled on only wearing mascara, not caring enough to use concealer to hide my eye bags.

I forced myself to go to school today. I knew that I would only create more work for myself if I went to the hospital again, but I kept my phone on just in case anything happened.

"Looks like someone got hit by a train." Jessica snickered as she and the little bitches who follow her around walked past.

"Looks like someone's rhinoplasty was botched." I retorted. I didn't have the patience nor the time to put up with her bullshit.

"Ugh!" She exclaimed before storming off to class.

I went and sat in the back of my first period, Biology. This was one of the few classes I had with Leo, and I just stared at his empty chair as the seats began to fill up.

"Glad to see you will be joining us today, Miss (l/n)." Our teacher, Ms. Nettle, said as she entered the classroom. "Will Mr. DiCaprio be making an appearance?"

"Um, I'm afraid not, miss. He won't be back for a while." I murmured, tears already threatening to spill from my eyes and the day just begun.

"Okay, then. You have your own time to work on your projects. (y/n), you are paired with Leonardo and Johnny, but since Mr. DiCaprio has decided to not show up, it will just be you and Mr. Depp."

"Okay." I whispered. I looked to the other side of the classroom and saw Johnny walking over to me, a sad look on his face. "Hey, Johnny."

"Hi, (y/n). Are you okay? You look... um-"

"Yeah, it's all good." I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes, hoping Johnny wouldn't notice. "Um, Leo probably won't be back for a while, so it's just going to be us."

"Where is he? If you don't mind me asking." He had a sympathetic look in his eyes. I knew I could trust him. I've known Johnny since the sixth grade, and he has always been good friends with Leo.

"Um... I don't really want everyone to know, so please just keep it to yourself."

"I promise I won't tell anyone." He placed his hand on mine and looked deeply into my eyes.

"Leo was in an accident, and now he's in the hospital." My voice cracked as the tears started pouring from my eyes and I knew there was no use in trying to stop them. "I'm sorry, it's just that he hasn't woken up yet and they don't know if he will, and I can't do this without him."

"Hey, hey. It's going to be okay." Johnny whispered as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest. His hug was more comforting than I expected, but I would still rather be in Leo's arms. "Leo is the strongest guy I know, he'll come back."

"Mr. Depp, Ms. (l/n). No public displays of affection in my classroom." Ms. Nettle shouted across the classroom, everyone looking at us as I pushed myself away from Johnny and hid my tear stained face in my hands. "Both of you, into the hallway. Now."
