Behind The Scenes // Domilly

Yeee started writing this at 1 am I'm a responsible human being

I had been in the waiting room for almost an hour. The fact that nobody was telling me anything that was happening was killing me. If something happened to Lilly I would never forgive myself. Every time a nurse or doctor walked by I hoped they would tell me Lilly was okay. That she was alive and breathing, had enough blood in her system to survive and was going to recover. But every second I felt like I was coming closer to different news.

A woman woke me up. Somehow I had fallen asleep in the metal chair. 'Are you Dominic Sandoval?' she asked. I was still in a bit of a blur but I quickly remembered where I was and what was happening. 'Yes, yes that's me.' The woman in front of me looked friendly and I wouldn't say she looked concerned or sad which comforted me. 'You are here for Lilly Singh right?' I replied with a nod, not sure what I was going to hear and not sure if I wanted to know.

'We are happy to tell you that Lilly can be visited. She has been awake for a couple of hours.' I jumped up and tried not to completely freak out from happiness. Lilly was alive. Awake. Breathing.

'Can I see her?' I asked. The woman looked at me and hesitated slightly before she answered. 'You can. We would like to talk to you about what happened.'

I followed the woman and we entered a room filled with machines and more lights and beepy things. Lilly was in a big hospital bed, giving me a small smile as she saw me walking in. I hated seeing her like this, tied up to multiple complicated machines, tubes everywhere. But at least she was alive, that was all I could ask for at this moment.

'Lilly, I'm so sorry...' I whispered and I grabbed her hand with both my hands. 'Dom...' Lilly seemed really tired as she was clearly not very awake. I should have not been so insensitive, I'm sorry. I didn't know what you were going through,' I said. I really hoped I didn't just mess even up between us. I mean, I really did. But I just hoped it was something that we could fix.

I explained to the doctor what had happened. From the fight all the way to me finding her with a cut on her head, unconscious on the floor. By this point I was an emotional mess, scared I was going to be blamed for everything, happy Lilly was okay and mad at myself for not going after Lilly right away. The doctor wrote everything down.

'How is Lilly doing?' I asked. 'She's going to be okay. She'll be tired and dizzy since she lost a lot of blood, but she wasn't unconscious for a long time, so she will be back to normal soon.' I smiled and thanked him for taking care of Lilly. After that the doctor told me I could talk to Lilly in private.

I kissed Lilly softly. 'I promise I'll stay by your side. You will recover.' Lilly smiled as I wiped the tears off her cheeks. 'I love you Dominic.' 'I love you Lilly.' I kissed her again, deepening it a little. 'If these things weren't all tied to you I would give you a better kiss. You deserve better.' I whispered. Lilly smiled. 'I'm glad to have a boyfriend like you.' I blushed. She never called me her boyfriend before. I mean, I knew we were together but it's just weird to hear her say it. Mostly after I just almost got her killed. 'You realize where you are right now do you? I'm not really an example of a good boyfriend today.' 

I went home, sad I wasn't leaving with Lilly. But at least I knew she was okay and she was going to survive. When I got home and pulled the covers over me, I was happy to know Lilly was being watched and protected.

I couldn't sleep at first. The images of Lilly in different bad stated weren't getting out of my head. I kept blaming myself for everything and cried. But she was safe. I had to remember that. She was going to be okay.

'Let's see this as a lesson,' I said to myself. 'Lilly has feelings and they are valid, so listen to her. She has bigger problems than people think. Just like you.'

After a good talk with myself I calmed myself down. And fell asleep. Maybe not as peacefully as the days Lilly was in my arms, but the thought of her being back there soon was enough for now.

I hope you don't hate me anymore cuz I'm tryna make things right.
