Love In The Rain (Elizabeth Olsen x M!Reader)

Chapter 12

Lizzie's pov

These 72 hours were the longest 3 days I had ever had to go through. Sitting beside Y/N's bed as the machines breathed for him. The tube down his throat. The wires attached to his body. The rise and fall of his chest being the only thing that is giving me hope.

"Colin has been talking with the police and the hospital security." I told him. I don't even know if he can hear me. "He is on the hunt for whoever done this to you. I think if he could, he would be out for blood too. I would be."

I sighed as I watched his face for any sign of movement. Hoping to see even a flutter behind the eyelids. Just something would be perfect.

"I need you to wake up." I whispered as I held his hand in mine. "I need you Y/N. I need you beside me as we finish decorating our new home." I wiped away the tear that fell from my eye. "Please come back to me my love." I whispered.

No One's pov

As Lizzie remained by Y/N's side. Colin was on the hunt for the person behind the gun. The one who almost killed his best friend. His brother. He stayed on top of the cops who were working the case. Wanting to find the person who hurt the one man he knew, who would never hurt anyone intentionally.

Scarlett was still working, keeping her phone on her for updates on Y/N's condition. Although, she noticed that Chris hovered around Lizzie's classroom a little too often.

"Hey, how's Lizzie? I've not seen her in days." He asked Scarlett when he stood in her doorway, she still had a couple of her students in her classroom finishing off a project.

"She's ok." Scarlett told him with a fake smile. "She's just a little under the weather."

"Do you know where she moved too?" He asked her. "I uh I went around last night and there was a for sale sign up."

"I am not giving out her personal information." Scarlett told him sternly.

"Not even to a worried colleague." He tried but Scarlett never budged, making him sigh. "I just want to take care of her." He told her as Scarlett nodded

"She has plenty of people taking care of her. She certainly doesn't need you." She told him quietly as she walked him to the door. "Now if you would please leave, I have students trying to work in here." Chris huffed as Scarlett closed the door on him before he headed to his own classroom. He knew he wanted Lizzie but he didn't anticipate the officers that were being led to his office after days of watching the CCTV footage. Waiting for a positive I.D. on the shooter.

"Christopher Evans. You're under arrest." An officer spoke as they entered his classroom.

"On what grounds?" He asked as he stood. Another officer walking behind him and putting him in cuffs.

"Attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm." They told him before they led him outside. Walking through the halls, all of his colleagues and students watched as he was walked out of the building in handcuffs. Even Scarlett was shocked to witness it, until it clicked.

On the phone straight to Colin who was stood outside of Y/N's room. Watching as Lizzie slept in the seat beside Y/N's bed.

"Hey." He breathed out when he answered the phone.

"Was it Chris?" Scarlett asked him straight away

"It was." Colin told her. "I uh. I watched it all. Y/N tried to talk him down. Tried to stop him but he just pulled the trigger anyway. He wanted to kill."

"I'm so sorry." Scarlett whispered.

"Hey, don't you apologise ok." He told her. "It wasn't what we all expected."

"Does Lizzie know?" Scarlett asked him as he shook his head no. "Are you going to tell her?"

"I have to. She deserves to know Scarlett." He told her honestly before the two bid goodbye and he headed into the room.

Lizzie's pov

I turned my head around when I heard the door open and close. Waking me from my nap. I watched in silence as Colin walked in. Heading to the other side of the bed.

"They caught the guy." He told me as he looked up. I felt a sense of relief run through me. "It was Chris Evans. I believe he was a colleague of yours."

"He was hardly a colleague." I told him honestly. "More of a creep." I told him. My eyes went back to Y/N. Just wishing that he would wake soon.

AN

They caught the bastard. Please let me know what you think.
