You're My Everything (a dawsey fan fic)

she was my best friend

Casey pov:
"Baby let's go." Shaking Dawson slowly and than I started to grabbing my things. I stand up as i watch her grab her water and a towel the nurse gave her to wipe the dirt off of her face. She stood up and I felt her grab my arm, i turn around as she fell to the ground, thankful i grabbed her before she hit her head "GABBY" and I brought her to the floor slowly. Two nurses ran over and I stood up to get out of the way. They got her on a gurney and rolled her into one of the privacy room.
No one was even here with us. Everyone left minutes before this all happened. I didn't want to call anyone, Not yet, I don't need them to worry about more stuff, I'll let them know if it gets serious.
One of the nurses came out and told me that I could follow her.
Casey: is gabby okay?
Nurse: yea she was really dehydrated, she wasn't drinking enough water, we didn't find anything else which is really good sign. Gabby isn't talking to any of us either, that could have been from the shock of losing her friend tho. We gave her some space The doctor said he wants to keep her over night just to make sure she's okay, and maybe do a couple tests, but we got her changed out of her work cloths and into a hospital gown, and we'll release her in the morning. She resting right now but you can go in.
thank god gabby is okay. If anything happened to her i don't know what I would do to be honest.
Casey: Do you think I could stay the night here with her?
Nurse: of course you can, I'm so sorry about your guys lost again
The nurse walked out of the room. I saw gabby laying in the bed and her weak eyes slowly opening slowly i sit in the chair next to her and grab her hand.
Casey: gabby
She looks at me and starts to cry.
---------------------
Gabby pov:
What just happened. The last thing i remember was grabbing Casey's jacket and everything else went blank. I was in a hospital bed, there are doctors standing around me asking me questions. I just couldn't answer. they slowly started to leave me alone and i closed my eyes.
Memories, memories of shay and I flooded back. Our first save together, saving a guy who had tons of crack in his shirt and was being chased by maniac guys with guns, hopping into a cloths bin to save a girl.
I heard the door open, please be Matt, please be Matt.
I was to scared to open my eyes, I didn't want any more questions to be asked.
I felt someone grab my hand. I started to slowly open my weak eyes.
Casey: gabby
i started to sit myself up, using my weak arms and pushing myself up into sitting position, and then I just started crying. I couldn't help it.
Casey: shhh no baby
Casey got up and sat at the edge of my bed and pulled me into his arms. I just cried and cried until I finally fell asleep on him. I woke up around 9am when I heard the door open, Casey's arm was still around me so I know it wasn't him leaving or moving, I slowly sat up and saw the doctor standing there. My moving woke Casey up.
Doctor: I want to discharge you Gabriella, so do you think you feel better enough to go home?
I nodded my head slowly and I felt mat rubbing my back as I was talking to the doctor, which helped me stay calm.
Doctor: okay, here are your work cloths, we washed them for you, if you can just change back into them and come out fill the discharge papers out, you can be on your way.
I nodded my head and managed to get a weak thank you out. The doctor walked out and I looked back at Casey.
Casey: wanna go home babe?
I nodded my head again weakly. What about work though I thought to myself.
Dawson: what about work?
Casey looked up at me with shocking eyes, hearing my voice probably shocked him, I haven't talked a lot since yesterday afternoon when we got to the hospital.
Casey:  chief said we have a couple shifts off, yesterday he sent us all home and said to not come back until Monday. So go change and we can head home. Doc said you needed to rest for a little while anyways
I nodded my head and got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom which was attached to the room we were in.  I stood there leaning on the sink staring in the mirror, I saw my reflection of my messy hair and my dirty face stained with tears from crying.
I put my hair up in a pony tail, and I splashed water on my face rubbing the dirt off. I took the hospital gown off and threw on my pants and my grey shirt that the nurses washed for me. I then slid my black shoes on and opened the bathroom door and saw Casey sitting in the chair by the bed waiting for me.
Casey: here -he took his sweatshirt off and let me put it on-
I showed him a little smile in thanks
Casey: ready to go?
I nodded and we headed to the nurses station, they took the gown a threw it into a blue bin and the nurse at the station handed me a clip board of discharge papers for me to fill out. I did so and then they told me to get some rest and have a good day. We walked out of the hospital doors to Casey's truck.
Casey: wanna go back to my place or yours?
Dawson: I don't care, I just really don't want to be alone right now...
Casey: of course, so we'll go to my place so I can wash up. I probably smell like a dirty old man.
hes trying to make me smile, he's trying to make me laugh but I just dont feel anything, nothing at all. I hold his hand as he starts the car, he backs out of the parking space and drives over to his place, he parks the car on the side of the street and we get out and head inside.
Casey: you can hang out on my bed while I go shower up and clean up,
I nodded and sat on his bed, he headed to the bathroom and I heard the shower start running, I rested my head on his pillow
-----------------------
Casey pov:
I don't think I've ever been so happy to take a shower in my entire life. The warm water just felt so good. I tried to hurry, knowing gabby was out there alone kind of worried me. I finished up quickly and grabbed a towel dried off and threw some cloths on. I opened the bathroom door which led into my bed room and saw gabby laying there on my bed, I couldn't help but smile, I walked over and grabbed a blanket and covered her up. I kissed her forehead and walked downstairs where I started to make some lunch for my girl.
Couple minutes later I heard something coming from upstairs. I think it's gabby, is she yelling? I ran up the stairs and ran over to gabby and i sat on the edge of the bed shaking her.
Casey: gabby hey, hey gabby.
She shoots up, looking scared half to death. I hated seeing her like this. Shays death hit her pretty hard, I don't know what to do. I cup her face and wipe her tears away with my thumbs.
----------------------------
Gabby pov:
"no no stop no shay not like this not lik-" I was woken up, Casey was shaking me and I woke up looking scared half to death.
Casey: gabby hey, hey gabby.
I look up to him with tears in my eyes.
Casey: baby
Casey cups my face in his hands and wipes his tears with his thumbs. I look in the other direction as a tear slides down my face. I wipe my face with the sleeve of Casey's sweatshirt that I'm still wearing.
Casey: hey baby, I made some sandwiches down stairs. If you feel up to it, want to come down and have some lunch with me?
I nodded my head.
Dawson: yea
I tried to crack a smile, to show him I was okay, even though I really wasn't. I started to get out of bed and he stood up.
Dawson: I'm going to use the bathroom and then I'll be down
Casey: want me to wait for you?
Casey looks so concerned i feel bad, he's probably having a hard time with this to. I shake my head
Dawson: no babe, go I'll be down in one minute, promise.
Casey nodded and walked out and down the stairs, I started crying again, I walked into the bathroom and tried to calm myself down. I splashed cold water on my face. Finally calmed myself down then I walked down stairs. I sat at the kitchen table where Casey was waiting for me.
Dawson: the sandwiches look good babe.
I tried to smile to show him it was okay, that I was okay. Casey smiled back at me but I could tell he knew I wasn't okay.
-------------
Casey pov:
Gabby came down stairs and sat at the table with me a couple minutes after I got down here, I could tell she was crying but I didn't want to say anything. She smiled at me and I smiled back, I knew she wasn't okay at all. I didn't want to push her to talk to me until she was ready, but I wanted her to know I was there for her. I didn't know what to do, I've never seen her like this before...
But I was holding on, shay was a good person but I wasn't as close to her like gabby was so it didn't hit me that hard, I mean I miss shay she was an amazing person but gabby must be feeling destroyed. I want to do something for her but I just don't know.
Gabby took a bite of her sandwich, I think she felt me staring at her bc when she was chewing she looked at me. She was so cute, I wish she knew how much I cared about her. All I wanted to do was take care I her until she was okay.
I grabbed her hand that was laying on the table, I smiled at her while I held it and took a bite of my sandwich.
Casey: baby, how you holding up?
Dawson: I'm trying...it's hard Casey.. She was my best friend.
Matt: I know baby, the more you think about it though the more it'll hurt. Let's do something tonight. Get your mind off of everything.
Dawson: like what?
Matt: we could rent a movie, go to dinner, maybe go to Molly's?
Gabby starts shaking her head
-------------------
Dawson pov:
I would love to get my mind off of everything but I don't know what could do that. I want to be okay, I want to be okay for Matt but I'm not strong enough.
Matt: we could stay in rent a movie? Or we could go out maybe we could go to Molly's?
I shook my head, on the verge of crying again.
Gabby: I can't go to Molly's, not yet. I can't see everyone yet. I can't do that, not yet. I'm sorry matt..
I looked away and took the last bite of my sandwich, he grabbed my hand again
Matt: hey gabby, it's okay. We can stay home if you want? Rent a couple movies and order in food?
I really don't want to do anything but cuddle up to him and have him hold me until I sleep. Or just sleep until I die. Should I say yes and do what he wants? He deserves it.
Matt: baby?
Gabby: yea yea whatever you want.
I stand up and walk my plate over to the sink and rinse it off.
Matt: gabby
I felt an arm wrap around my waist and I turn around with tears in my eyes.
Matt: hey gabby?-kisses the top of her head- it'll all be okay.
He looked at me with concerned eyes, as I wiped my face for the 30th time today. What is my damn problem Jesus Christ.
I look up at him and wrap my arms around him and he holds me in his arms.
Matt: babe, let's go chill and watch a movie on the couch and we'll figure it all out.
I nodded and he lead me over to the couch. He sat down behind me and pulled me into his arms and covered us up with the blanket which was on the end of the couch.
I looked up at him and cracked a small smile, I kissed his chest and rolled on my side, he wrapped his arms around me and held me. I felt so safe.
---------------------------
Matt pov:
We sat down on the couch, I knew exactly what gabby wanted. I got all comfy leaning against the arm rest and I pulled gabby into my arms. I warped my hands around her then covered us up with the blanket that was at the end of the couch. Gabby rolled on her side getting all comfy and I felt her peck a kiss on my chest, I couldn't help but crack a smile. I loved her being in my arms. I loved knowing she was okay for the time she was in my arms. I had no worries in the world.
I could tell gabby was slowly falling asleep, I had no problem with that. She needed all the rest she could get. I started to play with her hair, I knew she liked that, it probably helped her fall asleep quicker. The last thing i remember is the middle of the movie before I shut my eyes.
