Hero

Wyatts POV
I came home a hero. I dont feel like one. I feel strange. I walked into my RV. "Wyatt! You're the talk of the town! Im so proud of you!" Mom says. She hugged me. I hugged her back and I held tightly. "Are you ok?" She asks. I nod. Dad walked in. "Hey Wyatt" he smiled. I walked up to him and hugged him tight. He hugged back but I can tell he's confused. "Are you ok?" He asks. Mom walked over to us. "I love you guys" I say. I pulled away from my dad. They looked at each other and then me. "We love you too. Are you sure you're ok?" Mom asks. "Yeah, Im just really glad to have you both" I say. They looked at each other and grabbed each others hand. "Did something happen up there?" Dad asks. "Yeah... Im never gonna take you for granted again dad." I say. He looks stunned. "And Im not gonna lose you again mom. I cant resent things that are so easy to lose" I say. They looked at each other and then at me. They hugged me. "Its ok Wyatt. Im not leaving again" Mom says. "And Im not gonna pull anymore surprises on you" Dad says. "You might not go anywhere, but I might. I see now how dangerous my work is and I cant afford to lose anymore time with the people I love" I say. They smiled at me. "Speaking of which, I gotta go" I say.

Lunas POV
Im grabbing a water out of the fridge. "Im heading to work. Turn off the tv if you're not watching it" Dad says leaving. I turned to look at tv. I smiled seeing Wyatt on the screen. People are flocking to talk to him. He's like a celebrity. My front door opened and closed really quickly. I walked over to see what the hell just happened. Wyatt is looking through the peep hole. He locked the door and breathed out. "Tough being famous?" I ask. He turns to me. He smiled at me. "You're not dead, Ill give you that" I say. He walked to me. "Why are you not talking?" I ask. He pulled me into him and gave me the most passionate kiss Ive ever had. I was stunned but kissed back gladly. We stared at each other as we pulled away. "If you're gonna have a bunch of screaming fans, Im gonna need the girls and gays to know that you're mine" I say poking his chest. He smiled at me. "I love you so much" he says. "I love you too. Are you ok?" I ask. "Yeah. I almost died today Luna. I was seconds away and all I could think about was you. How I wouldn't be able to ever see you again. To laugh at your sarcastic remarks, to hear you scold me on my driving, to kiss you or hold you close to me again. I was terrified -" I stopped him by putting two fingers over his lips. "Shhh" I said. "Im right here Wyatt. You're ok. Everythings fine. You can hold me now" I say. He put his head on my shoulder and wrapped his arms around my waist. "I am happy you're ok babe. To be honest... I reay was worried about you. I just wanna seem strong for you because you were more nervous" I say. He lifted his head and stared at me for a moment before kissing me again. It was shorter this time. We stared at each other for a moment. "Do you want to take a nap? Or shower? You've had a long day" I say. "I showered at the station. Id love a nap though" He says. I smiled. "Come on my sleepy boy" I say dragging him by the hand.

Spades POV
Im shaking with fear. Ive been standing outside the hospital room for fifteen minutes. I need to see her but Im afraid. I wanna be with her though. Its not like shes not awake. Shes awake but shes just in pain. I took a deep breath and walked into the room. I walked up to her bed. Her eyes are closed so I took the moment to take in her appearance. She has scars and bruises. I can see where they wiped the blood off her face and arms. "Bella?" I asked gently. Her eyes opened slowly. They widened slightly seeing me. "Hey. Are you alright?" I ask. She rolled her eyes. "That a serious question?" She says quietly. Her voice is so shrill. I can barely hear her. I smiled at her. "Im so glad you're alive" I say. I gently laid my hand over hers. She smiled slightly at me. "You're so cheesey" she whispers. I dont care for her insults right now. Im just so happy to see her. "I love you Bella" I say. "I love you too" she whispers. I leaned down to her and pecked her lips. "Talk to me" she whispers. "What?" I ask. "Say something normal. Please" she whispers. I know she wants to think about something else. "So, you're coming to live with me" I say. Im trying but I can tell by her confusion that im failing. "Why?" She asked quietly. "Um..." I say. I dont wanna tell her. Her heart rate got faster on the chart. "Why" she says louder. I can tell it hurt to speak so loud. Nurse Kingsman came in to check on her. "Everything ok?" She asks. Bella never took her eyes off me. "Your dads have been arrested" I say. She closed her eyes tightly and leaned her head back. The nurse came up to her. "Dont cry Bella. I know its hard but itll just hurt you more" she says. Bella breathed in and out really fast, attempting not to cry. A squeezed her hand a little. "Its ok babe. Ill take you to see them and in the mean time, everything will be ok." I say. She took a deep breath. "How long are they locked up?" She asks. "I dont know exactly. Wyatt only gave me a possible range since its not his decision" I say. "Spade" she says as a warning. "At least a year" I say. She squeezed my hand tight. We have to change the subject before she starts crying. "Do you know when she gets out?" I ask looking at the nurse. "Sometime this week. We'll have to make sure she can move before we let her go" she says. "At least youll be out soon" I say trying to be optimistic. Bella looked at me like Im stupid. The nurse left. "Ill come and see you after school, ok?" I say. "Ok" she whispers. I hesitated. "You are happy to see me... right?" I ask. Her emotions are very unclear. "Of course I am. Im just really tired right now and Im in a lot of pain" she says. "I know. Im sorry" I say. "Will you stay longer?" She asks. I nod. "Ill stay here as long as you need me babe" I say.

Five days of sympathy from people and it doesnt really make me feel any better. Now Im getting ready to pick up Bella. "Are you sure you dont want us to go with you?" Mom asks. "Yeah Im sure. Bellas already gonna be bombarded by you when I get back so Id like her to have at least some peace" I say. Mom rolled her eyes and handed me her car keys. "Thanks" I say. I left.

They wheeled Bella out in a wheelchair. I never understood why they did that for patients who can walk. I walked to her and held out my hand. She does look a lot better. She took my hand and struggled to get up. She leaned on me. "She still needs rest. Make sure she gets up at least once a day and that shes very careful in the shower. She wouldn't want to reopen a wound. I wouldn't suggest going to school for another week" Nurse Kingsman says. "Ok, thank you" I say. Bella lifted her head to my ear. "This is really embarrassing" Bella whispers. "Just wait until my mom starts treating you like a goddess when I bring you home" I say. "Wow, are you saying im not one?" She asks, pretending to be offended. I laughed. "You are. You're my beautiful goddess. Now come on, my moms getting more worried about you by the minute" I say. She giggled. I opened her door and she got in. I got in the drivers side. "Ive never seen you drive. Itll be fun to make fun of you" she says. "Seriously?" I asked annoyed. She laughed. "Im kidding. You're fine. You're my knight in shining armor babe. The cops may have actually saved me from that but you're saving me now. You're my hero" she says. I smiled. "And you're my queen" i say. "Damn right. Onward peasant!" She says. I laughed and pulled out of the parking space.
