Dying Love

Chapter 14

The next day, back at his apartment, Seth had broken up with Alicia. Apparently, he had to pick her up and carry her out of his apartment- she wouldn't leave.

Hannah had finally started talking to me again, and we cleared things up, so I moved back in with her. But things with Joey stayed the same. He still enjoyed abusing me. At least I was back with Seth, and every weekend he would come over, and take care of me.

After school, Hannah would also help me out. I guess I can survive the next eight months with my ex. At least that's what I thought.

One day, Joey thought it would be funny to give me the worst day ever. Every time he saw me, he would stick his foot out, and then use his arms to flip me over. Then he would flip me off. Or, he would elbow me in the gut, or sometimes the face.

His friends didn't help either. They liked to slap me whenever they saw me. They didn't even care if I was with anyone anymore. They just did what they pleased.

At lunch though, he stole me away from my table, and threw me towards the wall,"No one likes you, Skylar."He said, crouching next to me. He placed his two hands on my neck. I slowly lost vision. Everything turned black. I began to not be able to breath. I began to lose consciousness, but not until after the weight disappeared off me.

I woke up, sitting in the hospital room. Seth was sitting next to me, his lip bloody, and Hannah on the other side."Thank God."She breathed, seeing me opened my eyes. I squinted, the bright light nearly blinding me. Then, I looked over at Seth.

"What happened?"I asked."Joey was choking you. Then Seth showed up as a lunch surprise, but the surprise was to him. You were no where to be found. Then he looked around an noticed neither was Joey,"She said. Seth cut her off."Then I figured that he would've taken you to his usual place of terrorizing you- behind the snackbar. So, I went there. And of course, there he was. He didn't see me until after I tackled him. I'm pretty sure it's because he was so concentrated on crushing your neck."He said.

I smiled. My hero saved me again.

A couple days later, I was released from the hospital, but advised to stay home a couple more days. Seth stuck by my side. I loved how it felt to have him next to me, watching T.V., and to have his arm around me when I slept. I loved the small talks we have when I'm just laying there. What I loved most about him being there- is how he kissed me for now apparent reason, and then I'd ask why, and he'd say,"If I lose you, I want you to remember like this."

I love him
