An Unforgotten Love

Chapter 1

Link and I were sitting on the couch when an emergency broadcast come on...

This is not a test. I repeat this is not a test. David Stoven, a patient at Wilmington Hospital has escaped early this morning. He is very dangerous and we advise you to lock all your windows and doors.

A picture of my brother was beside the message. I stared at it in shock. He actually escaped.. Link gently gripped my hand "It'll be okay." I hope he was right. I was terrified. I guess I should tell you the story on how my brother was sent to that asylum...

A couple years ago I lived with my parents and older brother. I also knew David has some issues. He was so paranoid and would check behind us every 5 minutes to make sure no one was following us. He has anger issues and would get into a lot of fights in school. He didn't have many friends. He always kept me under his wing. But with how paranoid he was he wouldn't let me have any friends. He made sure we had the same classes. Even though he was two grades ahead of me. He didn't care. He made sure he was in my classes. No one stopped him. Probably because everyone was afraid of him. Even my parents were. Our report cards were sent home and I wasn't doing to good in my classes. Once I got home my parents started yelling at me, telling me I needed to go get help with my work. David didn't like it when people yelled at me. So he started yelling at them. Telling them that I was doing fine. My dad yelled back at him saying that making D's and F's were not fine. I wish my parents would have just let it go... So maybe they'd be here today. They all got into a huge fight... and David snapped. I mean he wasn't okay before... But this was different. He went crazy and grabbed a knife, stabbing my father repeatedly. I ran out of the house and I could hear him screaming my name, telling me to get back here. I could hear my parents screaming in pain, sometimes they'd yell for me to keep running. I didn't stop. I ran to the nearest house and they called the police. Since he was to young to be put on death roll they put him in a mental hospital. He was suppose to be executed at age 20. But he escaped a year before that. He must of been planning a way out for months... I just knew he was looking for me...

I stood up "It's getting late... I'm going to get some rest." He stood up as well "Alright. Goodnight, Eleanor" I nodded softly "Goodnight, Link" We went to our bedrooms. I laid down, I didn't really wanna sleep alone. But I couldn't ask Link if I could sleep with him. I don't think he'd be okay with that... I felt myself slowly dozing off...

I sat there in tears as the man i've been in love with for years was being tortured by my mentally insane older brother. I couldn't do anything but sit there and wish for it all to just be a bad dream. I could hear his screams of pain even though I had my ears covered. I couldn't let this go on. Even though he told me that no matter what happen not to come out from hiding.

Everything went quiet. I opened my eyes and waited or a sound. Any sound. But nothing. Oh god was he dead? This isn't what I wanted. I stood up slowly and peeked out of the closet. There he was, the man I was in love with covered in blood on the ground. I didn't even think about what I was doing. I ran to him and knelt beside him "Link!" I shook him. This couldn't be happening. I never got the chance to tell him how I felt. Even though we were really close I didn't have the guts to tell him I loved him. I felt fresh tears start to stream down my face. I closed my eyes tightly as I held his hand. I felt a hand weakly wipe the tears off my cheeks. I opened my eyes to see Link smiling weakly at me. I knew he wouldn't make it. He knew it too. He whispered out "Please don't cry..." This only made me cry more. Hearing the pain in his voice. At this point i'm sure my brother was gone. I wouldn't forgive him for this. Ever. I forced a smile on my face "Y-You'll be okay... I-I'm going to get you h-help" I started to get up but he stopped me "Th-Theres no n-need for that..." I looked down at him "I-I love you, Link" He smiled weakly at me "I l-love you too... Eleanor..." His eyes slowly closed. I shook him slightly "L-Link?" He didn't respond... He was gone.

I sat up quickly. It was a dream... I had to see his face. I got up, quickly going to Link's room. He had been staying with me for a while. I opened his door "L-Link?!" He sat up rubbing his eyes "Eleanor..." His hair was a mess and it was adorable. I felt tears start to stream down my face as I stared at him. He noticed them and got up quickly "Hey whats wrong?" He pulled me into a hug. I hug back crying into his chest "Y-You d-died..." Was all I managed to get out before I started sobbing. He must of realized I was talking about a dream. He rubbed my back gently "Shhh it was just a dream. Its okay." I started to calm down after a while. He continued to hold me in his arms. I loved it. I wouldn't mind if it was like this everyday. Minus the bad dream and crying... He lifted my chin up and cupped my cheeks, wiping my tears away. I blushed slightly, staring into his beautiful blue eyes. He smiled and kissed my forehead "Go back to bed." I blushed and nodded softly. "Uhm.. Link?" He smiled slightly "Yes?" I blushed more looking away "Would it be alright if I uhm.. slept with you for the rest of the night..? Please?" He blushed deeply "Oh uhm.. Yeah that's fine" He took my hand, leading me over to the bed. We both laid down and I soon fell back asleep.
