Documenting Love

Hear Me

Chapter 27

**Reins POV**

Try to hear my voice

You can leave, now it's your choice

Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right

Maybe if I leave tonight, I won't come back

I said it before, I won't say it again

Love is a game to you, it's not pretend

Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right

Can nobody hear me?

I've got a lot that's on my mind

I cannot breathe

Can you hear it, too?

You kiss and you kiss

And you love and you love

You've got a history list and the rest is above

And if you're warm then you can't relate to me

From the floor to the floor

And the sky to the sky

You've got to love and adore and the rest is a lie

And if you're warm, then you can't relate to me

I said it before, I won't say it again

Love is a game to you, let's not pretend

Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right, right, and right

The song plays on the radio as I sit still at Raffes bedside for the seventh day in a row, I needed to shave and I'm pretty sure that I smelt worse than a skunk, but I couldn't bring myself to care. All I cared about was getting a response from my baby sister.

I had forced Archer in here numerous times - with the help of Neville- and made him just sit down and talk random bullshit to her, hoping for some sort of reaction. But again we got little none, but when he talked about how he was going to jump off a cliff she almost always started crying.

It was on the third day that I realised that this wasn't some sort of fairy tale book which had the perfect ending where the prince came in and kissed the princess, this was real life and we had to deal with waiting, no matter how long it took for Raffe to wake up.

Everybody had all been home at some point in the last couple of days, had a shower, gotten a clean pair of clothes and even brought some back for me when they came to visit. Evie had come to see me many times, always saying the same things like; being here isn't going to help her or you need to sleep in a real bed.

But I brushed her off and a couple of days later she stopped coming all together, sending Finn in instead. She thought that with him being an apprentice doctor and everything that he could convince me to go home and that what I was doing wasn't healthy. But after a few choice phrases along the lines of doing illegal and quite wrong things to animals and rodents, he backed off and now the only people who came to visit Raffe was the family and Archer.

"Rein come on, we are going home now, you need a shower because you smell like you just stepped out of a skunks butt and if you try to resist I have backup to help me 'escort' you out of the building" Neville's gruff no nonsense voice comes from the doorway and sure enough when I look up there standing behind him are two of the biggest security guards they have posted at the hospital, both flanking him, arms crossed with matching 'serious' faces.

"I'm not going, so you can tell your little puppies to go fuck themselves... or each other and leave me alone" I spit looking back to Raffes still form.
