Wrap Your Arms Around Me [Oliver Sykes]

Better Than Being Dead.

Hannah's POV

I feel tired and my whole body hurts. The nurse says I was unconscious for two days after being hit. I feel dizzy, too, but that might just be the medication wearing off.  

"Hey," there's a knock on the door and I look up to see Chris Cerulli standing there beside a small blond nurse who can't be much taller than I am.  

"Hey," I smile and then turn to the nurse. "Thanks for bringing him. I'll be fine, you don't have to stay." 

"Okay," the nurse squeaks. Seconds later it's just Chris and I. 

"How are you feeling?" Chris asks, coming to sit in the chair beside me. He looks tired, as if he hasn't slept in days.  

"I'm a little disappointed," I admit. "I mean, I don't have memory loss or anything. This was sounding like such a dumb fan fiction... Shouldn't I have lost my memory and then all of you take, like, two years to help me get it back again or something? Who loves me and I don't know about it?" 

"Ingle," Chris says. "Oh, and I'm pretty sure Andy does, too. Andy Biersack. He broke up with Juliet right as all of this happened and he hasn't left the waiting room. Um... Oli, but you already knew that." 

"What hit me, exactly?" I ask. "Was it Oli's bus or something else?" 

"It was a van," Chis says. "Oli's bus was too far away to hit you. They almost ran you over after you were down though, but that's not the point." 

"What van hit me?" 

"One of the guitar techs'," he replies. "The kid was texting and didn't see you." 

"Oh," I frown. This whole thing would have been a lot more romantic if it was Oli's bus that hit me. And if I had memory loss. After how cliche this whole experience has been until I'm really surprised that isn't how things turned out. That's how they're supposed to happen, aren't they? 

"But," Chris snatches my attention again. "Christofer keeps telling Oli that his bus hit you. He was too drunk and his band mates were too involved with making sure he didn't drink any more that they don't know either. Andy hates Oli so he's siding with Christofer, but they hate each other so I don't know how long it'll be before they start turning on each other." 

"How badly am I hurt?" I ask. "Do I look like a zombie or something?" 

"Honestly I expected you to look like something from a horror movie to be quite honest. But obviously that's not the case." 

"Thank God," I laugh. Chris laughs too.  

"You know, for someone who's in a hospital after being hit by a car you sure don't seem too, you know, hurt." Chris smiles.  

"All I have is a sprained wrist and a few bruises or something, right?" I shrug. "That's better than being dead." 

"You want to talk about what happened with Oli?" Chris asks. The smile disappears from my face and my body freezes. It feels like I have ice water in my veins.  

"I don't know why I ran after him," I say slowly. "After all, he's a big boy. He can handle himself, and-" 

"Why can't you just admit that you have feelings for him?" Chris asks. "I mean, yeah you've been treated like shit before but this kid has waited how many years for you?" 

"He dated her," I say. "He seemed to have moved on rather quickly after that." 

"And you were with how many guys, plus Christofer?" Chris shakes his head. "It's okay to be broken, Han. We all are. Deep down all of us are shattered and just plain old fucked up inside. It's okay. You don't have to be perfect one-hundred percent of the time. Now, I'm going to let you get some rest because you need it. They'll be dismissing you tomorrow." 

"Why can't I go now?" I ask. 

"They still aren't sure if you're internal-injury free yet," he replies. "And they just want to be sure. If you want to talk I'll be downstairs." 

"Okay," I say. Chris walks to the door and opens it. "Oh, and Chris?" 

"Yeah?" he asks, turning to face me. 

"Please don't let anyone come up here," I say. "I'm not ready to face any of them yet." 

"Okay," he nods. "Stay strong." 

And then I'm left alone, in a hospital bed, all by myself.

Hey guys :3 so I'm sorry if this is short and uneventful but I love Chris Cerulli and he just needed his moment to shine in the story :P so now that we know Hannah's safe we can bring Oli back into everything. And how many of you think Christofer Drew really is in love with her? What about Andy :O Btw, one of you owes me a pair of socks I believe. ;)
