Safe and Sound

Chapter 8

I got out of the hospital a week later and Declan started watching me like a hawk. I didn’t think he could watch me closer than he already did but he proved me wrong. One day I was in the shower and I heard Declan knock on the door and I yelled, “Hang on I’m almost done.”

            “It’s fine!” He yelled back, “I was just checking on you.”

It was starting to get well frustrating. After I went into my room and was just in my bra and panties I looked in the mirror and touched a small scar I had from when Bruce hit me. Mrs. Jenkins told me that I probably should have gone to get stitches, but it’s too late now. I grabbed a t-shirt and pulled it over my head then grabbed a pair of sweatpants and put them on quickly then I yelled, “Declan, can you come here?”

            Declan was in my room before ten seconds had passed. I was brushing my long wet brown hair and said, “Take a seat.”

            “You just wanted company?”

I shrugged as he slowly took a seat. I looked in the mirror as I continued getting ready then said, “Declan we need to talk.”

            “About what?”

“You’re getting way to protective of me and I’m about to go back to school and you won’t be able to watch me 24/7 so you need to get over this always having to check and make sure I’m okay. I’m fine and I’ve already told you that at least a hundred times!”

            “I’m sorry I’m scared for you Rain. I almost lost you because of that guy I’m not going to risk losing you again.”

“I love you Declan, but you can’t keep watching me like a hawk. I’m going to get hurt, but I think I’ve proved that I can handle it.”

            “Rain, if you died-”

“But I’m not going to die!”

            “You almost did, Rain!” Declan screamed. I saw down on my bed as he stood up and shook his head. He looked like he might cry. I have never seen Declan cry in the past ten years I’ve known him and I was about to speak when he screamed, “Do you realize that I was right outside that waiting room and they came to me to tell me you were dead! They told me you were dead, Rain! My whole life seemed to have crashed the second they said that!”

            Declan started to calm down and shook his head and sat down next to me and said, “Rain, I’ve never cried but that moment I did. A few minutes later they came back and the nurse looked at me and said, ‘Thank God your still here. They revived her she’s alive.’ Rain when she told me that I’m not kidding I jumped up and yelled for joy. Hearing that for a minute I lost you I lost my mind.”

            I waited a second and said, “Declan, why do you care so much about me?”

He looked at me seriously and spoke as if it was obvious, “I love you, Rain.”

            “I know, Declan, but come on you have to let me loose a little you’re going insane.”

“I can’t lose you Rain!”

            “You haven’t lost me! Why can’t you get the fact that I am safe?!”

He shook his head and said, “You really don’t get it, do you, Rain? Look fine I’ll back off because that’s what you want. Rain, I pray you don’t have to go what I went through and if you ever do then you’ll know why I’m so protective of you now.”

            “Do you even know what I went through?”

“Rain, I would’ve rather been you getting in that car accident, dying and then coming back to life than be in that waiting room hearing that you’re dead.”

            Declan left my room and I sat there not knowing whether or not to apologize for being upset. Maybe Declan likes me more than I thought?

Soooo, Rain is starting to think Declan likes her? Is there anybody that hopes Declan and Rain get together or are you more for Spencer and Rain?

I know it's not very long and it's not edited either so I'm sorry if it has mistakes. I saw the recent comments I got and tried my hardest to get out of that writer's block. I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks Vomment!!!! :)
