Cure it pt2

I was watching Lena walk back and forth in front of the bed. She's been pacing for a good three minutes now mumbling talking to herself.

"Lena" I called out weakly. She didn't hear me and kept pacing. I continued to call her name out without getting a response from her.

I shifted in the bed wincing from the pain I felt. That somehow made Lena snap out of her trance, quickly walking towards me.

She cradled my face in her hands examining it. "What hurts" she whispered. "I'm fine Lena. What's got you so worked up" I said reaching up to grab her hands, moving them to my lap keeping my grip on them.

"I have the serum. I was trying to work myself up to inject you with it but I can't. I like you more than I should Y/n. I don't know if I can sit here and possibly prepare myself for your death and it's at my own hand." "Lena I could die either way. My death will not be because of you." "I don't think I can do it" she sighed, frustrated.

"Is it a shot?" She answered by silently nodding her head. "Give it to me I'll do it to myself." "I'm sorry. I don't know why it's so hard for me to do this" she sighed.

"Lena. Just hand me the shot. We have to get it over with. Just let me do it so you don't have to" I said grabbing her hand.

"Im sorry. Here" she said handing it to me.

"Lena whatever happens it's not your fault. I signed up for this knowing the risks. Complications happen" I said inserting the concoction in my arm. "I just really like you. I don't want to lose you."

"Lena I promise you if something happens it's not your fault. You tried to find a cure for something and I am just happy that I could help."

"I'm going to stay here with you tonight." "Is that the best idea?" "Please" she said defeated.

I didn't want to die. I wanted to be with Lena. I keep telling her she's not supposed to get attached but it's because I was already attached to her. I only told her to make it easier on myself.

She stayed with me all night. She slept right next to me in the same bed.

Before this whole thing started I all came to grasp the fact that I would possibly die. If I'm not lying I was hoping I would die when we first started. I didn't want to be here anymore. Until I met Lena.

I wanted to live. I wanted to live just to see Lena. Wasn't that crazy? Now I'm scared to die. I'm scared that when I close my eyes I won't see her anymore. That if I close my eyes it will be my last time looking at her, taking in her features.

When Lena got up she immediately moved to the computers to check on whatever.

She look frustrated and tired. I felt horrible seeing her like this and not being able to do anything.

The first week after the shot was horrible. I felt worse. I thought I was so close to death. The second week was the same. It wasn't until almost a month later when I woke up feeling completely new. It felt like I wasn't sick at all.

"I think it's finally safe for you to get out of here." "I don't want to" I said a little bit too fast. "Why? You've recovered fully. I think even better than how you were before. You don't want to leave?" "I just don't want to leave" I mumbled.

"What's the problem" she asked sitting down directly next to me. "I don't have anywhere to go. And I don't want this to be the last time I see you." "Oh Y/n I wasn't just going to let you leave without me seeing you again. I told you I like you. I'd like to still see you."

"I want to see you too Lena. I just don't know if I can." Her face looked hurt when I said that. "Why" she whispered. "If I'm being honest I was prepared to die. I didn't have a plan for if I made it out of here. So when I leave here I have to go somewhere and I don't know where that is."

She sat silent taking in what I said.

"You can stay with me. I have so much room in my apartment I'd be glad to have another person in there." "You don't have to do that Lena. I can go find someone else. I won't even go far." "I want you to. I want to be able to see you. I want you to stay with me. It doesn't have to be long. It can be for however long or short you need to stay." "Are you sure?" "I want you to. I got used to being around you just don't want you to leave. Plus you'll be close to me incase anything unexpected happens that's related to this"

"Okay sure. Thank you. I promise to not get in your way." "Do not even worry about that. You will be fine"
