*Bellas P.O.V.*

"They'll both be fine." The nurse reassured me, patting my shoulder. "The biker has a few broken ribs and bad concussion, a fractured skull and his leg is broken in several places, but he will be fine. Your gentleman friend has just a mild concussion, however we have monitored both of their hearts to see if there are any problems, but your friend seems to have a heart murmur. If you would like to visit him, he is in room 342 down that corridor."

"Thank you." I chewed my lip and watched the nurse walk away before sprinting to George's room. He was layed in bed, still in his suit, with a wet flannel wrapped around his head. His eyes were closed, his cheeks flushed from sleep.

"I'm sorry." He choked. "I didn't mean to do it. I just wanted you to be afraid of me because I'm not a good person and you really don't understand Bella-" He took a deep breath in. "You need to stop hanging around with me otherwise you will get hurt, and I dont want you to ok so I think you should leave now."

"What if I dont want to leave? What happens if this is all in your mind, what if you only think I don't look up to you because you think no one loves you because of your past, what if you dont realize how much I need you George?" I clenched the sheets in my fist, staring at him. "What if, after all we've been through, you're afraid of me?"

I need you now.Where stories live. Discover now
