What I Have Left

Ch.8

" Theo," I whispered without stuttering.

"He-lp p-pl-eas-se" He said with limited air going into his lungs. I already knew who did this , but I would have to deal with it later.

I looked around the area Theo was in and tried to find his clothes. I finally saw them under one of the benches. I grabbed them and sat him down on the bench and put on his pants justs so he won't be completely naked at the hospital.

With one final tug I had them on. I then patted his pants and found his keys. Once they were in my hands I ran out with Theo in my arms and drove away. He is bigger than me and heavier. I knew that this was a life or death situation so I carried him with as much strength I had.

Theo looked as though he was coming in and out of consciousness. I knew this because sometimes he would moan and other things he would move his head toward my direction with and whimper as though he was asking how much longer we have until we were at the hospital.

"Stay with my Theo." I whispered in a strained with tears voice. " Please."

After twenty minutes of driving we finally arrived. I parked in and grabbed Theo's limp body in my arms and ran inside. " My friend is hurt!" I streaked once i walked passed the doors. It was then that i realized how scared I was for him and how much I needed him.

I felt someone take Theo from my hands and I knew it was the doctor taking him away. Once he left my hands I fell to the floor with tears. The nurses tired to calm me down , but it never worked. I had just got him back as a friend and now he was about to be taken away from me. I mean he looked so broken up and abused.

I wish it was me instead of me .

I have been beaten up before so it wouldn't have been nothing new, but this was Theo we were talking about. He just got beaten up by , I am pretty sure, his friends. That thought makes me sick to my stomach to know that it was my fault.

" Honey , I know you are hurting right now , but I need to ask you some questions. " A blonde haired middle aged female nurse told me. " Come on and sit down. Your friend will be fine I promise." She told me as we moved to a seat in the waiting room.

I didn't really want to talk to her , but she seemed nice enough and since I am getting better using my voice , thanks to Theo. " S-o wha-t do you wa-nt to know?" Just 'cause I have talked more doesn't make me less nervous to talk to new people.

So she asked me some questions about Theo and what happened. Then she went to contact his parents. Since she was gone I texted my parents and told them I would be out for a while. During this I answered all of the questions to the best of my ability .

I don't know how long I was asleep , but the next thing I knew was that I heard a familiar voice surrounding me. " Nooooahhh" I turned and saw Theo's parents looking at me with wide eyes. " What happened to my baby . I just got back from a trip and I come back to this!!" I have no idea why she is yelling at me , especially after I haven't seen her in years.

" I think I can answer that question ma'am." I heard a studious voice from behind us. I looked back just like Theo's parents and saw what I am guessing is a doctor. " You are Theodore's family i presume? " He questions. While they nodded I just was waiting to hear some news. "Well it seems Theodore has been beaten very badly and after some examining we have noticed he has 3 bruised ribs , a couple of minor bruises and cuts , but what worried me is the bump on his head. It seems he was thrown against something hard , which caused him to pass out like he was when he came in. He has a mild concussion. So we wanted to keep him here for a while. He is up now though." We all listened to him in silence until he was finished.

"Well when can I see my baby boy?" Sandra, Theo's mom asked. Theo.'s dad , Kevin has been quiet this whole time. He has never been much of a talker.

"Well young Theodore has been asking for a boy named Noah since he has awaken." He said , which I think surprised us all. He then looked at me," are you the Noah Theo was talking about." I nodded and he told me to follow him down the hallway to which I think is Theo's room.

He nodded to a room and left. I knocked ." Co-m-me in" I heard a scratchy voice say on the other side of the door. I then walked and saw Theo look up with a smile on his face. " Hey Noah isn't today lovely." He said jokingly. I didn't laugh I just ran up to him and hugged the life out of him. " Noah, that h-urts."

"So-rr-y" I said as I backed away from him , with a blush.

He face look serious now and I became nervous. "Umm, I kind of have something to say to you. Please don't freak out though." I looked at him afraid of what I was about to hear. " I haven' t told anyone this and I am actually really nervous to tell you. Before I tell you what I wanted to say I just want you to know that after this whole thing that just happened to me. I couldn't help think how short life was. How life could just end so fast. I didn't want to leave this world leaving some words and feelings unspoken. " He said softly while looking at me with a look I have never seen before.

"Theo , wh-at's go-ing on"

"Come here, sit on that chair by the bed. " I did as he said . " Look Noah, you are my best friend and I am so sorry that I left you by yourself and let my old friends hurt you because I can tell you their not my friends anymore after this. I hope you will forgive me." I nodded to let him know I do. " Well I really want you to know something before something else might happen. "

"Tell me Theo. I wi-ll alwa-ys be here fo-r you." I said with as much honesty I could muster.

" Well Noah , I am gay and I am so in fucking in love with you." He said looking at me with so much love.

So doing the only thing I could think of.

I grabbed his bruised face and I kissed the life out of him.
