Let Me Save You ➸ Ryden

Thirteen

- Brendon -

"Brendon?" Ryan asked pulling away from me, a questioning look in his eyes.

"Yes?" I said with a smile looking at my beautiful boyfriend who was in front of me. I couldn't believe that four days ago he was in a coma. That was the toughest week of his life.

"What happened? I mean like what happened before I got into the coma," he asked, looking me in the eyes with his beautiful honey eyes. He got off of me and sat next to me on his bed.

"Well, we had went to the meadow, with Sophie, June, and Mel, then Sophie started coughing and we had to rush her in," I explained to him. I couldn't tell him that I yelled at me, after what he told me about his dad, I can't tell him.

"I know that, but what happened after? I know I hit my head, but how or why? The last thing I had remembered is the doctor saying we couldn't be in the room and kicking us out," Ryan said, I was dreading this moment. I couldn't tell him that I yelled at him because he would hate me, I couldn't have him hating me.

"Well, I had went to go to the bathroom, so I could be alone and get some paper towels to wipe my tears, and I don't know what happened next, Mel said you just passed out and hit your head," I told him and shrugged, trying to play it off like I was telling the truth.

"Oh okay, I'll ask Mel after dinner," he told me. I suddenly got worried. What if Mel told him? What if he hated me?

"Hey, Ry, I'll be right back, I have to go to the bathroom," I told him, and he nodded.

I left his room and ran down the hall and and turned down the next hallway, where Melanie's room was. I knocked on her door and waited for here to open it.

"Hey, Brendon, do you have to leave early?" She asked me. She was still taking care of June so Ryan and I could hang out. She said she didn't mind and that she liked taking care of kids.

"No," I told her, I didn't really know how to tell her this, "Mel, I know this sounds weird, but can you not tell Ryan that I yelled at him, because of what happened with his dad, I don't want him to hate me, I love him, I love him so much," I told her, fiddling with the sleeves of my sweatshirt.

"It's fine, but what should I tell him?" She asked me. I thought for a minute and came up with something.

"Maybe tell him that he was overwhelmed, he was worry that it was fault about Sophie and got so overwhelmed that he passed out," I told her and she just nodded.

"Yes, I can do that, but just remember that you shouldn't lie to him, and you can't keep this from him forever, and if he finds out later, it might be worse. If it were me, I would tell him," she told me, and I avoided her gaze, I knew she was right, but I couldn't do it, "but if you want me to lie to him, I will,"

"Thanks Mel," I said to her, "I'll come get June in an hour," I told her and started to walk back to Ryan's room.

Melanie was right, it would be worse if he found out later, but he can't find out. He can't know. I don't want him to think I'm anything like his dad, because I'm not. He can't know I yelled at him, I can't loose him. I can't.

And I won't.
