London's Calling [Bastille FanFiction]

Chapter 10 [When You're In My Arms]

Dan POV

I sat in the waiting room, staring off into the distance before checking my watch. It had only been an hour yet it felt like an eternity. I stood up and dug a few loose coins out of my pocket, putting them in the coffee machine and getting a cup of regular coffee before returning to the seat. Kyle was watching Alex who was completely out of it. She must've been thinking about who Peter was and what she would tell the police.

"Miss Clark's family I assume?" A old man in a doctor's coat approached Alex Kyle, and myself. Making me stand quickly as did Alex who stood in front of the doctor.

"I'm on her forms. Alex Masters...How is she?" The man glanced at the papers, giving a nod to confirm Alex's statement.

"She's in a room and will recover fully. It is stated in her record she refuses any pain medication so your friend will most definetly be in discomfort when she awakes. She has a few bruises, fractured rib, and some signs of abuse. Also the medications in her system were dosed extremely high so we are giving her fluids to hopefully minimize the widthdrawl effects. You all are very lucky she didn't die from it. Now if you all will follow me we'll get you all in to see her." The doctor gives a nod before looking at them then heading down the hall, opening the door for them to enter. I was last in the room, stopping for a moment to just look at her. The doctor closed the door and Kyle sat down on the sofa with Alex who was mentally exhausted and just watched her friend from the comfort of Kyle's arms. Cautiously I walked over to the chair next to the bed and sat down, taking her frail hand and stroking it with my thumb. Being so close to her, I noticed the colourful bruises along both her arms and the large mark the cuff had left.

I tried to keep my eyes open, but finally gave up and sat the coffee on her bed side table, noticing a locket. I carefully picked it up and opened it, smiling at the picture of Alex and Sam. The other half was slightly sad, which was an empty space. Carefully I slipped it in my pocket, an idea coming to mind that made me smile. Gently I rested his head against her thigh, closing my eyes and falling asleep as I held her hand.

Sam POV

Hours had passed and it was dark outside as my eyes opened, slowly looking around the hospital room. I noticed Kyle and Alex holding eachother as they slept on the small sofa in the hospital room. Dan was holding my hand, his head resting on my leg, which was now asleep and tingling. I smiled slightly watching him for a moment, he looked at peace. His hair was a mess which was nothing new and his face looked completely relaxed though dark circles were under his eyes. Gently I freed my hand from his and stroked his cheek. I'd just met and here he was, sitting by my bedside. His eyes slowly opened and I couldn't help but blushed, removing my hand from his face.

"Mmm don't stop that was nice." He mumbled, his voice was husky and deep. I gently moved my hand to run my fingers through his hair, making him moan in approval. "How are you feeling?" His eyes slowly opened, they were extremely dark blue, making me smile.

"Other than my leg being asleep and the throbbing pain in my arms. I feel like a million bucks." I smiled as he quickly sat up and massaged my thigh as he laughed a little, turning a little red.

"I'm sorry darling."

"It's alright...I'm sorry I missed our date. Getting kidnapped seems to be my thing." My smile disappeared slightly before frowning as I lowered my eyes. He took my hand and let out a sigh.

"I was so worried about you. Alex asked us to see if you were home and then she came over and she realised you had been taken. I...I felt my heart stop knowing you were in harms way...and when we found you..." I watched him lower his eyes as they began to water. Gently I squeezed his hand and sighed. "I just couldn't leave you." I blushed a little and rubbed the back of his hand with my thumb. "As for the date. I'm spending time with you now and I'm enjoying every second. He kissed the back of my hand.

"Thank you...for caring." I smiled and felt my eyes getting heavy again and noticed his were as well. I slowly sat up, wincing as the pain worsened to which he stood up, wanting to help me in some way. I moved closer to the side of the bed before patting the space beside me on the bed. "There is room for two. We both know you're tired." I watched as he smiled and carefully moved onto the bed, laying beside me and kissing my cheek to which I blushed and became warm, chills going down my arms.

"You're welcome angel." He wrapped his arm around me, careful around any wire attached. I laid my head down on his chest, closing my eyes and taking in his smell. It was so calming that I almost instantly fell asleep as he did.
