Regret.

Twenty Nine

a/n: OH BABY A TRIPLE ;) (update)

 Mitch's POV

 I sat in Bella's hospital room and cried. That's all I could do. Scott was blaming himself, but she and I know it wasn't him. It's the fear of Marcus. 

 "Mitchie," She said, her voice soft. "Please don't cry."

 I looked at her with puffy eyes and a tear rolled down my face. "I'm sorry, Bells." 

 "It's not your fault, love." She croaked. She had been weak for the past few days so she stayed in the hospital. I had visited everyday, as did the rest of the band. Scott didn't, but he sent love. 

 "Bella," I said.

 "Hm?"

 "I love you so much," I took her hand in mine and kissed her knuckles.

 "I love you, too." She smiled and closed her eyes. Her wrists were still cut really bad, some of them needing to be stitched because they were so deep. I looked down at my phone to see a group chat.

 avi: how's she doing?

kurvy: yeah? i'm worried.

kirst: same.

me: she's sleeping. but she's okay, i guess. she's still really depressed but not as weak.

scott: that's good.

me: yeah, it is. i'm still really fucking depressed too. i hate this for her.

avi: same

kirst: i feel guilty.

me: kirst, it's not you. it's marcus. she's terrified of him, and she's scared of him hurting us. she told me she couldn't deal with the fear of him anymore, and she felt that what she did was her only escape.

kurvy: i hope she knows that i'm never letting her out of my sight again.

avi: i agree. i'm scared that she'll try something again.

scott has left the group chat

me: well bye, then.

I looked over at the sleeping girl and climbed in next to her, pulling her close to me. She cuddled into my chest and I kissed the top of her head.

 "I've missed you, Michelle," She smiled.

 "I missed you, too." I said, trying not to let a tear escape.
