He uses his free hand and starts to choke me as I'm kicking him, punching him, doing anything really

*Sloanes pov*
*a few minutes before*

He's getting a little to close for comfort to Collins

I whisper to Ruby next to me, "Be ready."

She nods and passes the message on until everyone has heard it

The second that man grabs Collins shirt, I yell out "LATE", it was our code word, it would draw a little of attention to us but not a lot since people would just think that we were late for something, if we used a different word, people might have watched us

We sprint out and run into the field, the man has Collins in a chokehold

I'm not the fastest at all, but at this moment I was leaving my friends in the dust

The second I get close enough to touch him, I tackle him and the other people come over and either beat the living shit out of him, or start yelling and bullying him, I don't notice cause I ran over to Collins, who after I tackled the dude, he tossed a couple feet away

"Collins, Collins, Collins listen to me, stay with me, I don't want to live without you, please, stay" I say

My father was a medical assistant and taught me when and how to do stuff, right now was time for cpr

I begin cpr and start praying in my mind

(I have no clue how long cpr lasts so I'm going to take a guess and say 5 mins, just for this story, I know it's probably way wrong but it's for the sake of the story)

5 minutes pass and I'm trying not to lose hope but I am, tears are running down my face like two tsunami's just hit them

2 more minutes pass and Collins opens his eyes and takes a deep deep breath

He takes a second to realize what happened but then immediately hugged me and we stay hugged for a long time and we are both crying

"Thank you for staying with me, I thought I was going to lose you, I probably wouldn't have lived a day longer without you" I say

"No, thank you, thank yourself, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here right now, the second he put his hand on my throat I knew I was a goner unless a miracle happened, and look, you are a miracle" he says

I giggle and we stay hugging until a couple police officers and ambulances come

"Ma'am, step away from him" they say

I look at the officer and shake my head, Jayson then jogs up behind him and bolts for us once he realizes it's us

"What happened? Is everyone okay?" He says, hopping down next to me

"I'm fine" me and Collins both say in unison

"Okay.. who did this?" He asks

"Him, over there" I say and point

"Damn you got a whole squad" he says

"Part of a plan" I say and me and Collins take turns explaining everything

"You better be glad your dad is a medical assistant" he says

"I know, but I don't know what happened to the dude over there, I was doing cpr" I say

"We'll have someone check him out, for now, let's get Collins to the hospital, come on" he says

We get up and hop into the cruiser before driving to the hospital

We get to the hospital and they run some tests on Collins a figure out that he was less then a minute away from dying

That shocks me so much that I'm just standing there looking at a wall, contemplating what I just heard

"Sloane?" A dude asks

I snap back into life and say yeah

"Did you her any of what I just said?" He asks

"After you said he was less then a minute away from dying, no, I did not" I say

"Turn around, stop staring at that wall, it's just a blank wall" he says

I turn around and there's it's my dad, I knew something about his voice seemed familiar

I jump into his arms and hug him

"Excellent job today Scar" he says

Scar is a nickname I had gotten awhile back after my parents noticed I had a lot of scars from falling down and stuff

"Thank you.." I say

We pull away and I look over at Collins, he's sleeping, so pretty

"You like him" My dad says, throwing his arm around my shoulders

The nurses aren't here, it's just me, my dad, and sleeping Collins

I figure I can tell him

"So?" I say

My dad is alarmed that I just straight up told him, I can tell

"I- uh, your just gonna admit it like that?" He says

"Yeah, what about it? He's asleep" I say

"Does he treat you right?" He asks

"Like I'm an injured bird" I say

"Has he ever hurt you?" He asks

"Nope" I say

"Does he like you for you?" He asks

"He better" I say

"Do you treat him right?" He asks

"Yes" I say

"Have you ever hurt him?" He asks

"No, maybe while doing cpr, but otherwise, no" I say

"Do you like him for him?" He asks

"I love him just the way he is" I say, still gazing at his sleeping eyes

"Date."
