The Demons In My Head

Chapter 20

*Taylor's POV*

"Stay away from me. Bitch." "You mean nothing to me." "Leave me alone, and don't ever come back."

"Hilary...Nathan..." I moan, slowly waking up from my recurring nightmare.

"Hey, baby."

My ears ring with the familiar sound of that angelic voice. I slowly open my eyes, spotting someone's hand laced with mine. I slowly turn my head, coming face-to-face with beautiful green eyes, that can only belong to one face, Nathan.

My eyes begin to water, and soon, we're both sobbing. Nathan hugs me, burying his face into my shoulder. I lift my good arm up, playing with his hair as I always did. Finally.

"I'm so sorry," Nathan sobs, barely audible.

"Shh, you did nothing, shh," I soothe, kissing the top of his head.

"I almost killed you..."

"Hey," I interrupt, lifting his face so he looks at me. "You did nothing. Okay? This has nothing to do with you. It was an accident."

"But I left you...if I didn't leave, this would have never happened!"

I stare into his sad eyes, full of guilt and sadness. I take my thumb, stroking his cheekbones. "If you hadn't left, you wouldn't have been doing the one thing you love. Yes, I was weak, I admit it. I broke, but you know what got me through it? Knowing that the man I love was doing something he loves. Stop feeling guilty, because this wasn't your fault. Not one bit. I love you so much."

I grab the front of his shirt, pulling him in my bed with me. He carefully lays down, moving my tubes out of the way. I cuddle into his chest, inhaling his sent I've missed for so long, and crying. We both cry, just holding each other and crying. His arms tighten around my exposed back, since this stupid hospital down only covers the front portion. I wrap my arms around his neck, sobbing the three words I mean the most, "I love you."

I concentrate on the feeling of his hands on my back, rubbing continuous and gently circles. I concentrate on his heart beat, his breathing, his cries, his scent, his touch. I'm not in the hospital bed anymore, I am home, where I've always belonged. Where I'll always belong. I know that's pathetic, but he is everything to me. I never wanted to be that girl that her whole world evolved around a boy, but he is my world, he really is. He saved me, more times than I can count. He's my hero, my savior, my air, my everything.

UPDATE:

Sorry this chapter is really short, and crappy lol. I've been going through some stuff and don't have time to update, but I'll be writing the next chapter right now. In the next chapter, it will be about two weeks after, but they'll still be at the hospital. I'll write that in the chapter as well. Hope you like this fanfic. :)
