New Girl (Lawson Ryan/Adam Fanfic)

Chapter 9: Hospital

Chapter 9: Hospital

 (Beth’s POV)

 I’m sitting beside Adam’s hospital bed in a chair while holding his lifeless hand. He’s just so… still. Ryan walks in and I instantly turn away from him.

‘Look, Beth. I’m sorry. But he kissed you! And you’re with me!’ he defends himself.

‘Not anymore’ I spit at him. He’s just silent.

‘Please, Beth. I don’t want to lose you! Over this stupid petty thing that he caused!’

‘You caused this, Ryan!’

‘But you’re letting him get what he wants! And that’s you!’

‘What he wants is what’s best for me’ I say.

‘What do you mean?’

‘Adam was standing in front of my parents fighting his ass off to convince them to not send them to this boarding school.’

‘Did it work?’

‘Yes’ I bite back.

‘So what are you getting at?’ he asks confused.

‘I didn’t see you standing in front of my parents fighting my corner. If you cared that much you’d help me’

‘I told you to move in with me! PROBLEM SOLVED!’

‘That wouldn’t have solved anything!’ I scream.

‘You seemed to think it was a pretty good idea at the time!’

‘That because when I’m with you I’m influenced to do bad things!’ I state.

‘And what makes you do good things?’ he questions.

I instantly turn to face Adam, rubbing my thumb in circles on his hand to stroke him.

‘Adam’ I murmur.

‘So what you’re saying it, it’s my fault that you’re bad? Sorry to break it to you, babe, but I couldn’t but notice on your school reports from other schools that you damaged various school property, got into fights with several people and detested against doing school work. And sure as hell wasn’t at those schools’ he says cockily.

‘Well sorry to break it to you, babe’ I mock him then continue ‘but me and you are done’. And that’s when his face drops.

‘You want to end what we have over this stupid petty little argument.

‘This argument isn’t what’s petty. What’s petty is the care you have for me’ I spitefully let out.

‘You wanna see me caring?’ Ryan challenges.

‘No not really. I’ve lost any slightest bit of interest I ever had in you. Now get out of the hospital before I drag you out of it by your ear and never talk to me again’ I say as a tear exits my eye. Ryan leaves the ward. I know I said I didn’t care anymore but I do. That night we shared was perfect and I can never let that go. I guess I’m just shocked right now and can’t help but feel guilty for the state Adam is in. The world would be a better place if I were never in it.

*time passes*

Adam finally stirs from his unconscious state and his face lights up and soon as he see me. I grab his hand as quick as a gunshot and stroke it again to reassure him that I’m here.

‘Beth?’ Adam whimpers through his painful state.

‘I’m here, Adam’ I say.

‘I love you’ he whispers.

‘I know’ I say back.

‘Am I going to be ok?’ he asks.

‘Yes, you’ve just got a few head injuries. You should stay home from school a few days.’ I instruct him.

‘But that would mean not seeing you’

‘I’ll come by every day to make sure you’re ok’ I say.

‘Promise?’

‘I promise’ then I kiss him on the cheek.
