Insanity (Skillet Fanfiction)

Chapter 2: Three Words

(A/N: Guys, let me write this story in a third person's view. Okay?)

Korey managed to get John to the hospital with the help of the ambulance just in time before he could lose a huge amount of blood. The nurses asked her to stay in the waiting area as they operate John.

Korey nodded and took a seat. Her heart was pounding fast and her head was spinning. She loves this man so much. She couldn't beat to let him die. Seeing him like this is already painful to her.

They must save him. And that horrible and cruel father of his shall pay!

She kept on pacing back and forth. Who knows what's going on in there? Is John still breathing or are the doctors having a hard time bringing him back to consciousness?

She wasn't able to calm down until she decided to peek.

The nurses and the doctor were all panicking. It was the first time they encountered someone who inflicted himself with so much damage.

"How could he do this to himself? He must be mad!" Korey heard one say as he pushed a tourniquet on John's bleeding wrist.

Korey felt anger burning deep inside her. How could the doctor say that? He doesn't know how much agony and suffering John went through for years! He doesn't have any rights to judge her beloved.

She sat down on the chair beside her, trying to comprehend what she saw from the window.

Oh, how she never wished to had looked. John's blood was spread out everywhere! Half of his body was bleeding and his flesh was slowly ripping apart. She has never seen anything gruesome like this in her entire life.

She made a commitment to herself to marry John. Not because she just loves him, she wants to heal John's abused soul. She wants to protect him from his own self-destructive mind.

The only reason why John tried to kill himself is because he wanted the pain in his life to end. His father went abusive and sadistic right after his mother died from breast cancer when he was fourteen. But during the time when his mother was still in the hospital, his father already started abusing him. He just wanted to hurt John for fun- treating him like a punching bag or a stress reliever. He even tried to rape him because he was so drunk and thought John was his wife!

John was temporarily sent into custody (more like prison) due to him almost killing others because he was being delusive around his surroundings. Korey helped him escape the rotten and dark prison, but right after she left him for him to go home, his father was waiting for him with his friends to beat him.

They punched, kicked, clawed, and hit John with tons of objects. They even tried to amputate his arm! What kind of father is he? Fathers are meant to take care of their children not to do the opposite!

Oh, how John was scared the entire time! His father always throws him inside his bedroom and locks him all night long without giving him any food. John was a prisoner for a very long time.

As Korey was sitting down, the doctor came towards her. She stood up and wiped off all her tears immediately.

"Ms. Pingitore, your friend managed to live. He still needs to stay here for a week though. His wrist is attached to a tourniquet. He must be careful not to move it, okay?" the doctor said, sweat dripping down his chin from trying so hard to revive John.

"Thanks." Korey replied.

Korey went inside John's room. He was still completely unconscious. She could still see blood staining the bandages that wrap around John's skin. His lovely blonde hair was also messed up but he still looked perfect for her.

She slowly sat down on a stool that was near John's bed. She leaned towards him and grasped his free right hand. She smelled and kissed John's right hand while crying.

"John, please be alright. I'm right here. Somebody in this lonely world still loves and cares for you and that is me." she whimpered.

Two hours passed and Korey has fallen asleep. John's eyes fluttered open. He frowned when he felt that he is still alive. He wanted to die but fate has given him another chance to live.

"Why?" he quietly uttered.

He turned his gaze away from the ceiling then to the girl who was sleeping on his right hand. He moved his right hand's fingers and felt the girl's soft hair. He too, loves this girl and he never wants anybody or anything in the way.

"Hey, wake up." he gently carrased her cheek.

The girl woke up and smiled at him. She looked at him with her beautiful blue eyes. John couldn't look away from it. He felt hypnotized.

"Welcome back, stranger." she greeted him.

"Thanks for saving me. The name's John by the way." said John, shyly.

"It was nothing. My name's Korey."

John felt that he needed to break the ice and told Korey about his feelings.

"Korey, I've been watching you in our class since I moved to our school. I know that you were the one who has helped me escape the prison. I just want you to know that I..."

John stammered and he was blushing. Korey's eyes widened. She knows this boy that she's in love with is going to say something big.

"I... I love you." John finally continued.

Korey beamed and suddenly kissed John's soft lips. It was like heaven for John. Korey wrapped her hands on John's neck.

"What a bummer. If only I could move my arms, I could've wrapped them on her waist." John thought to himself.

Love filled the room and all the pain in their hearts were temporarily held back, until they pulled away.

"John, I love you too. I was waiting for ages for you to make a move."

John smiled and ran his free hand on Korey's hair.

All of a sudden, the door in John's room opened. It revealed...

(A/N: Dun dun dun! Who is this person?)
