~The Final Girl~

~Eight~

When Isabella woke up, the smell of bleach and the beeping sound made her recognize were she was right away. 
She goes to sit up, but the pain all over her body stops her. 
"Ow," she mumbles. 
"Careful Isabella" she glanced over to see her mom sitting in a hospital chair, she also looked over to see a sleeping Mindy. 
"How long was I out for?" she asks softly. 
"A few days hunny, they really did a number on you," 
Isabella nods, slowly sitting up and she looks down at her hands, "So are you going to leave right after this?" 

Sidney sighed, "I have to get back to Mark and your sisters sweeties," 
Isabella nodded, "I understand." 
"You can come with me, Mark would love to have you and you can bond with your sisters more-"
"Mom, I can't leave Mindy." 
Sidney nods and looks over at the sleeping figure, "Her and I had some pretty good talks while you were sleeping. She's a lot like her uncle. She cares about you a lot," 
"I care about her a lot too mom," 
Sidney smiled at her daughter, "So I called my therapist-" 
"Mom-" 
"Just, think about it Isabella, I think it would help, a lot." 
"I'll give it a try, but I think I just need some time first before I go back into everything." 

"Ah, Ms. Prescott, you're awake." the Doctor walked in. "How are you feeling?" 
"Like I was almost murdered for the second time in three days," 
The Doctor nods, "Well, unfortunately we are going to have to keep you here a bit longer. 
You hit your head pretty hard. Considering the previous head trauma, we ran some scans and you have a Grade 3 level concussion" 

"That explains the dizziness and the constant pounding," she mumbles. 
"Luckily, you stab in the back didn't go deep enough to do any major damage. As well as your stab in the stomach, they missed your abdomen and-" 

Isabella zoned out after that. The Doctor kept listing what could of happened and how lucky she was and how she hard she must of thought, but the only thing she could focus on was the pounding in her head. 
"Uh, can I have some water please?" she asks, cutting off the Doctor. 
"I'll get it for you, and some food," Sidney says as she scoots past the doctor. 
"I'm really sorry, but can we finish talking about this later? I just-" 
"Of course Ms. Prescott, I did bring up the medication for your head to try and ease the pain a bit" 
"Thanks," 

The doctor left shortly after leaving the pills on the side table. 
Mindy groaned as she woke up, rubbing the back of her neck. 
"Morning sleepyhead," Izzy smiles at her girlfriend. 
"I should be saying the same thing to you" she says moving her chair right beside Isabella. 
"How's your shoulder?" 
Mindy shrugs, "A little sore, I lost a bit of blood, but I'm okay. How are you doing?" 
"Everything hurts" 
"Not just that, about..." 
"About how my childhood best friend tried to kill me? It hasn't fully registered yet. I mean she stabbed me in the back...literally and metaphorically" 
Mindy gently took Isabella's hand, "I'm so sorry," 
Isabella shrugged, "I'm sorry she stabbed you," 
"Yeah, it fucking hurt," Mindy laughs slightly. 

"Good thing you turned around hey?" 
"Shut it. Tara and Sam are okay too, Chad also" 
Isabella smiled, "I'm glad, poor Wes and Liv," 
Mindy nods, "I feel bad that I was so mean to her," 
"Hey, don't beat yourself up about it, what's done is done," 
Mindy looks down, Isabella tilts her head, "Mindy? What else is going on in your head," 

Mindy sighs "I'm just mad at myself," 
"Mindy you couldn't of predicted-" 
"No, not about that, well a bit, but I'm mad that I let you get hurt," 
"Wow, you didn't let me get hurt. This wasn't your fault Mindy, the only people to blame are those fuckers who tried to kill us." 
 "I just-" she takes a shaky breath, "God Iz, I was really scared you wouldn't pull through. I mean, not even just physically, but also mentally it's-" 
Isabella interrupted her rambling girlfriend with a kiss. 
Mindy hesitated for a minute before kissing back. 

Isabella pulled away. "I'm right here Mind, I'm here so lets just focus on that right now, okay?" 
Mindy nods, Isabella wipes a tear from her cheek. 
"It's you and I against the world, we will be together every step of the way, okay?" 
Mindy nods and rests her head against her girlfriend's. 

"You and I against the world"
