Louis' POV
"It is all going to be fine..." A tired voice chokes out. I look up and Claira's eyes are partially opened.
"Cl-Claira.." I said quickly wiping away tears. "B-but .. how-are you okay ???"
"I'm.... I'm okay.." she coughed.
"Thank God... Claira what happened ?"
"I-"
"No never mind. Just ... get some rest ?" I kissed her bruised forehead. She smiled and tried to nod. "So what's wrong ... with her....?" I asked walking up to the doctor that was walking in.
"She had a fractured wrist, broken leg and arm, broken ribs, bruised all around, small concussion, and had a bit of internal bleeding. But we took care of it all. She needs rest and time to heel. Now... did she tell you about the other thing ?" Hearing all those things completely broke my poor little heart.
"Oh no he doesn't know." Shanon said butting in.
"Know what...?" I said, very... very, very confused.
"Claira wanted to tell him. She wanted to deliver her own news... I mean it's gonna be hard now.. but it's still her news to tell."
"Got it." And with that the doctor left my sight.
"Does.. everyone.. know this news ?" I said facing everyone. And they all nodded their heads.
This probably has something to do with that phone call.
"Tell me it's good..." they all turned their heads. Which scared me..
"She'll tell you when she gets the chance. Just... don't bring it up. Please ?" Lilian says after sighing.
"Okay." I said discarding my curiosity.
I walk past them to the hospital bed where Claira laid in pain.
"Louis.." she breathlessly says.
"Yes, babe ?" I said tilting my head.
I expected her to say something along the lines of 'it hurts,' or 'I love you,' but instead she mouthed 'I'm sorry'.
"There's nothing for you to be sorry for. Im sorry. I would rather it be me lying here. I'm sorry you have to be going threw this. I should've been calling you to make sure you're o-"
"No. It's not your fault." She said wile trying to move her hand.
"I love you," I said putting my hand on hers. It took me everything to not fall to the floor and cry.
I wanted to. I wanted to blame everyone. I wanted to kick, punch, break everything in site.. but instead, before I could stop myself, the words slipped out.
"What was that phone call about ?" My stomach went crazy hot after the words ran out one after the other.
I seen tears brew in her eyes and immediately regret the question.
"Never mind it, just rest." I said wiping the tear that was now on her cheek. She looked up at me with sorrowful eyes. "Love I'm sorry. Please forget it ?" I said placing a kiss on her forehead. She nodded and closed her eyes.
I turned around to Lilian glaring at me. I mouthed sorry and left the room. I couldn't bare to be in there anymore. Seeing Claira in pain causes me pain.
