Unstable lovers

Chapter Thirteen

Trigger warning

I opened my eyes and rolled over to see Luke lying next to me cuddling his pillow. I didn't want to wake him, he looks so peaceful sleeping, so instead I stood up and attempted to walk. Which was a bad idea. I had forgotten about my accident last night.

I collapsed onto the floor in pain and my stomach began to bleed everywhere. I yelled out in agony and tears began to stream down my face.

"Lilly!" Luke said as he sat up.
"MICHAEL DARREN !!" He yelled as he jumped up and ran over to me.
He lifted my head and rested it on his lap, before he began to talk to me and stroke my hair.

"Lilly your okay, it's gonna be ok.." He was cut off by Darren running into the tent followed by a half asleep Michael.
Mikey woke up as soon as he saw me and he dropped down onto the floor almost immediately.

"Darren find a towel or something please!" He said as he lifted my shirt and began to take off the blood drenched bandage he had put there last night.

Moments later Darren comes back in with about 3 towels and throws one at Michael.

"Wow! You tryna knock me out?!" Michael said, as he picked up the towel and began to fold it. He then placed it onto my blood covered stomach gently.

"Lilly, you gotta be brave ok. I'm gonna try stop it bleeding...... Luke, you should hold her hand for this," he said. And with that, Luke took hold of my hand and Michael pressed down with hard force.

I screamed at the agonising pain that it caused and everyone was trying to calm me down. Nothing was working to calm me, Darren placed his hand on my forehead and started making 'shh' noises and telling me it's gonna be ok. And Luke kept tight hold of my hand (which I was squeezing with all the energy I had left in me) and carried on playing with my hair while telling me I'm gonna be alright. But no matter how hard they tried, I couldn't calm down. The pain was too much. I was crying so hard and all I wanted was for it to all be over.

I must have blacked out again because the next thing I remember is waking up in hospital, with Darren asleep on the chair opposite me sat next to Michael who was sat with his face in his hands, and Luke who was asleep next to me (again. Cuddling a pillow).

I attempt to sit up again and this time it didn't hurt as bad. Michael sits up and looks at me with worried eyes.

"Are you ok?" He asks.
"Yeah," I say trying to sound as calm as I can.
"I'm just really tired that's all," I add.

"Do you wanna go home? They stitched you up and said when your awake we can leave if your ready," Michael tells me

"Ok sure, " I say. I want nothing more than to just sleep right now so I decided to let him carry me like a child.

As he picked me up Luke woke up.
"Is she ok?" He says.
"Yeah. Shes just really tired so we're all Gonna go home," Michael tells him.
"Okay," he says as he stands up and follows us out of the hospital to the car.

I fall asleep on the way home and Michael carries me to my bedroom when we arrive home.

Once Michael had carried me up the stairs and got me into my bed he sits on the end of the bed and looks at me.

"What?" I say questionably.

"I just want to tell you that I'm sorry for what happened in the woods yesterday. I should have known that you weren't okay. And as soon as I asked I knew the answer. I should have just tried to calm you down, I'm so sorry." He says.

"Oh my god. No Michael. No! It's not your fault. Please don't ever blame yourself. Please....Please. No,"

I didn't know what to say. It wasn't his fault, and I didn't want him blaming himself.
