Let it be

I love you, don't you mind? - Chapter 6

The last few hours had been a blur for Amelia and the others. Amelia sat in the hallway outside Will's hospital room, contemplating everything that had happened. Issac and the others were sitting in the waiting room, but Am couldn't bring herself to sit next to them after everything that had happened.  If she hadn't let her emotions take over, maybe Will wouldn't have collapsed and everything would be fine. But no. You just had to kiss him, didn't you? Amelia thought to herself. she sighed loudly and gave up on her aching feet, allowing herself to sink to the immaculate hospital floors, just as Issac came around the corner holding two cups of what Am hoped was coffee. "Hey, stranger. I thought you could use some coffee. I made the others leave, much to their annoyance. I just don't want loads of people to be here when Will wakes up." he said, sitting down on the floor next to Am and handing her the other cup. 

"Oh god, I bet they all hate me now" Amelia groaned, picturing them all gossiping about her as they left the hospital. Issac laughed, which caused Amelia to shove him before moving away slightly. "Am, you've got it all wrong. They all love you. I think they are just as worried about you as they are about Will. they know how much he means to you"  Issac said, winking at Amelia when she blushed slightly. "Well, of course he means a lot to me. I mean, he's one of my best friends!" Amelia said, avoiding the meaning behind the question. "Oh Am, sweet innocent Am, it's so fuckin obvious that you are in love with Will, and that he completely returns those feelings" he smirked, laughing at Amelia's shocked expression. "How did you know that? can you read my mind or something?" She exclaimed, laughing along with Issac as they finished the drinks. After they had both calmed down, Issac went on to explain how he knew. "Well, I was going on a complete whim when I was talking about you. Will's my brother Amelia, so I know him. He was unhappy for a while until you came along. Before you, we couldn't even get him up in the morning. In a matter of a  month, you've got him to do what we have been trying to get him to do since he was diagnosed at 15. He's trying to get better for you, Am. That's how I know he loves you." Issac finished, wiping his eyes as Am saw tears forming in them as he finished.  Amelia had tears streaming down her face, thinking of how far Will had come since she had known him. "Issac Hearte, I love your brother more than I've ever loved anyone and anything in my entire life. I would never do anything to hurt him, and, I'm so sorry about everything that happened tonight. I know that your mum is probably so mad at me right now. So, I think, I think it might be a good idea for me to stay away from you guys for a while." Amelia said, before standing up and turning to walk away, just as a nurse came out from Will's room. "Are you two Issac Hearte and Amelia Clarke?" she questioned, making Amelia turn back around in confusion. 

"Yeah, I'm Amelia, and that's Issac. is everything OK?" She questioned, worried that something bad had happened since the last time she came out to update Am. "yes, everything is completely fine. Will is now awake, and he's asked to see the both of you." the nurse smiled at them before opening the door again, allowing Amelia to enter. The nurse stopped Issac, smiling at him sadly. "I'm sorry, but he requested to speak to Amelia alone before he saw you." She said, before gently pushing Issac out of the door before shutting it after both of them. "Am, is that you?" Will questioned from behind her. Amelia smiled before turning towards him, seeing him laying in his bed, hooked up to a machine with various wires. 

"No Will, it's Hannah Baker. Welcome to your tape." she said, referring to 13 Reasons Why, which they had also binge-watched together. Am smiled in achievement as a slight smirk appear on Will's face as she sat down on the chair next to his bed. "Am, I can't remember anything from before I collapsed at the concert." Will said, opening his eyes and turning his head to face her. 

"Oh, really?" she questioned, slightly disappointed that he couldn't remember that they had kissed. Will nodded, confused as to why Am wasn't smiling anymore. "Oh fuck, did I do something wrong? are you mad at me?" he questioned, rushing to try and sit up in his bed, causing Amelia to gently push him back down into his original lying position. "No Will, you didn't do anything wrong. it was all me. I did something wrong." she said, hiding her face in her hands, not wanting to look at Will when she told him what had happened. "Will, it's my fault that you are in a hospital bed right now. I put you there" She sobbed, ignoring Will who was pleading her to calm down. "Will, I kissed you. Right after that, you collapsed. I'm so sorry. I love you. " Amelia said, lifting her head, meeting Will's forest green eyes.

Amelia got up to leave the room, knowing that despite what Issac had said, there was no way that somebody as amazing as Will could ever love someone like her. 

"Wait, Amelia, sit down. I need to tell you a story" he said, making Am turn around to face him once again. "Will, what could you possibly want to say to me right now?" she questioned, sitting back down in the chair by his hospital bed. "Well, today I'm going to tell you the story of a boy who was incredibly sad for a long time. He was going to commit suicide one day. He had it all planned out, how he was going to do it. he'd written the note to his family explaining his reasons. But then something changed inside him -he heard this girl who had moved in next-door playing this song. A song that his dad used to listen to. One that made him think of happier times. For the rest of the day, he didn't think of killing himself once, because he knew he had to meet this girl, and demand that she played that song at his funeral. When he did eventually meet the girl, however, he quickly realised at first glance that she was beautiful; and that he wanted nothing more than to put his lips on hers,  and to make her happy. As time went on, the boy got more sick, and he felt himself falling more in love with the idea of spending life with this girl. She had given him a new-found appetite for life, and he couldn't get enough of it. He wanted to live forever with this amazing girl by his side, but he couldn't give her that. The longest amount of time that he could give her was three months, but he knew that if she wanted him as much as he wanted her, then those three months would be the amazing. He also knew, that even if she didn't feel the same way, that she'd stay by his side as a friend, that she'd still make his last months unforgettable, and even in the face of death; that was enough for him" 

Will smiled at Amelia as he finished his story, laughing as he noticed tears streaming down her face once again. "Amelia Clarke, you have given me something most people wait years for, in a matter of months. I am truly, honestly, completely, madly in love with you. Always." he said, before gently pulling Amelia's face towards his, and giving her a kiss that was so passionate and full of belonging, that Am felt like she was going to faint (But luckily she didn't. Will already had a big enough head without knowing the full effect he had on her)

They didn't hear the door open, and weren't aware of Hannah, Ben, and Issac being in the room.That was until Hannah yelled "I CALLED IT. BEN YOU OWE ME AN ICE CREAM"  Amelia pulled away from Will, laughing slightly as she watched the antics of her little sister and her best friend. "I already knew they were going to get together, I just wanted to buy you an ice cream." Ben replied, before grabbing Hannah's hand and pulling her out of the door, in the direction of the cafe that sold ice cream. "Well, i-i'll just leave you two alone. I should go make sure that they don't get lost. USE PROTECTION" Issac yelled, before turning and running out of the room before Amelia could throw something at him. 

"I swear to god, that brother of your's was put on this earth to annoy me" Amelia laughed, as she pulled herself onto Will's hospital bed, putting her legs over his as he pulled her into his chest.  "Trust me, I know how you feel. We come as a package deal though, Am. if you want me, you are going to have to deal with my annoying twin walking in at all the worst times." Amelia smirked as a plan formed in her head. "Oh yeah? how about now?" she said, before slowly placing herself on his lap, gravitating her hips back and forth with a smirk on her face. Will moaned quietly, placing his hands on her waist respectfully. 

"Hey, guys. Just thought I'd come an-" Issac came back in, but stopped and smirked when he saw what was happening. he made a mental note to mention this to the other's later on, before slowly backing out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
