Soulmates in any universe or time 《 Wattys 2018 》

Visiting almost every day

It had been a while since Mick ambushed me, almost a week, but Quentin still told me everyday if I wasn't working I was to come straight home, but since I was beat up I had been going to the hospital, visiting almost every day, I would sit there and talk to Sara, telling her about the things going on, just talking about nothing really.

I knew the hours Dinah and Quentin would visit, I never let them know I visited her so often, it was a daily thing most of the time, if only for a few minutes on my way to work via the long way to work.

One day, it was almost Sara's fourteenth birthday, I was visiting, I brought her flowers and a small blue bear, I knew she wouldn't know about them, but hey its the thought that counts, I was sitting in the seat beside her bed talking to her, I grabbed onto her hand and held it, "You know your mom and dad really miss you, right?" I was looking her in the face when I said that and I swear it looked like she smiled.

I kept talking, forgetting I had her hand in mine, "You're so beautiful even when you're asleep." I squeezed her hand as I noticed I still had hold of it, she squeezed back, "Sara?" I was shocked, "Sara please." She opened her eyes quickly and inhaled as she took my hand tightly, "Leonard?" She was so scared, "I'm here, you're okay." the nurse walked in at the sound of her voice, "What happened to me Leonard?" She let go of my hand.

I put my hand on her shoulder, "Long story, I'll go call your mom and dad to tell them you are awake." I was going to call off for the night after I called them because I just wanted to not worry about telling her the awful news about Laurel, the only problem now was going to be explaining why I was at the hospital instead of the store to Quentin.

Dinah picked up the phone, "Dinah, it's Sara, she's awake." I was smiling the entire time since she woke up, I was sure she could hear the joy in my voice, "Leonard?" she started, "We'll be there in a little bit, tell her we're coming as soon as we can." she was even more happy than I was, I could tell because of the change in the tone of her voice, I heard her yelling for Quentin as she was hanging up.

I hurried back to Sara's room, smile still plastered on my face, Sara looked up as I walked through the door, "Since when did Leonard Snart ever wear a black eye?" she laughed a bit at me as I touched the eye that was once swollen shut, "Yea, it wasn't my brightest of days, hurt more than I imagined it would." I said trying to not give away the fact that I was actually beat up by a bully.

It was silent for a minute then I finally spoke "Your parents are on their way, your mom said to tell you that," I started as I walked closer to the side of her bed, "I'm glad you're awake now." I finished my sentence and sat down in the chair beside her bed.
