Skinny

Chapter Seventeen

I sit there and watch Luke's chest rise and fall with every breath. My heart beat thumps so loud, I swear I can hear it in my ears. The hum of the machines rings louder and louder with every second. I know the doctor said he could wake up at any minute but I can't help but have my doubts. This is after all my fault. We wouldn't be here if I had just went somewhere else, moved on, and left the guy alone. Now the love of my life is laying down in a hospital bed with tubes and machines hooked up to every crevice. I need to leave. I need to run. The door to the room opens and Doctor douche face walks in. I swear the guy has been hitting on me since we arrived, two days ago. As if my boyfriend lying on a hospital bed was an aphrodisiac, the mother fucker had tried multiple times to chat me up in the cafeteria. Not to mention the couple times he's tried to talk to me in front of Luke. A smile spreads across my face when I think about how Luke would react if he could hear or see this ass wipe. He'd probably freak out and soc the guy in the face a couple times, tell him to back the hell off and we'd end up having hospital sex.
Some of the best sex we had ever had was in the most ridiculous of places. Like our sophomore year in college, we had gotten into a huge fight over Aria spending way too much time texting him. He didn't really reply much but he also had refused to let me tell her how it was, how it was going to be, and to go away. After three days of fighting and not talking, I was cornered after labs one afternoon by him and was given a proper pounding against the professors desk while he was out of his office. After that, we didn't really fight much, which I thoroughly enjoyed and if we did, it was followed by some mindless fucking which I also, thoroughly enjoyed. Just the thought of having Luke take me right here and now makes my core heat up in flames. Doctor douche face clears his throat reminding me that he is in fact, sadly, still fucking here. I let out an annoyed sigh and turn my head towards him. "Can I help you, doc?" His face lights up in the creepiest grin I've ever seen in my life. "As I matter of fact, yes. You're a doctor yourself right?" Oh gosh I know where this is going. "Yeah, an ob/gym. Thanks for asking. What about Luke? Is he going to be okay," I ask him impatiently. I have no time for these games right now. Any giddiness I was feeling seconds ago is gone and quite frankly, I'm getting pissed. "Oh, yes. He should be waking up shortly. His vitals are retutning to normal so I would say he's expected to wake up either tonight or in the morning. Now is it Miss or Misses," he winks. Oh my gosh this guy. This mother fucker. Right. Here. "Doctor... Whatever the fuck your name is," I say and wave my hand dismissively. "I just care about whether my fiancé will be waking up soon or not so if you could just swerve the fuck back in your damn lane, I'd really appreciate it. Now, do I need to make myself more clear or can you go the fuck away? His jaw drops and a smile spreads across my face. Luke would be so proud. His little girl growing up and sticking it to the ass hole. "Glad we're on the same page. You can leave now," I spit and point towards the door. We both jump when we hear a noise come from beside us. My eyes light up when I look to where the sound is coming from and find Luke trying sit up, a big boyish plastered on his face. "That's my baby," he quietly mumbles roughly. I sit next to the bed on him and gather his hands in one of my own. "Luke. Oh my gosh you're awake. Baby, I'm sorry. He's gone though, okay? He won't hurt us anymore. Please don't be mad at me." He looks at me if I'm crazy and I can feel tears streaming down my cheeks and run to the curve of my lips. "As if I could be mad at you. This isn't your fault. I love you Maci Michelle Hall and you're damn crazy if you think I'm going to leave you right now or ever," he sternly whispers. My eyes turn to the doctor and I smirk. "Goodbye doctor shit face."

First and probably only authors note so be excited! I want to thank you all for being understanding about the late publication and not hating me to death. This chapter has been incredibly hard as I could have went so many ways with it but in the end, I decided you'd all probably kill me if I killed off Luke! Anyways, it's not over yet so don't worry. Thanks for all the reading, voting, and commenting. You guys are amazing. Let me know what you think so far!
