Chapter 44: The Hospital

ANTHONY'S P.O.V.

I watch as the paramedics take Ian away. Luckily, they let me ride with them on the ambulance. The only thing I can focus on is Ian. My tears are slowing down. I'm holding Ian's cold hand while they are helping Ian. One of them sits down right next to me. "You alright?" He asks me. "Not really," I answer truthfully. "Yeah...I know that feel, buddy," The man says, patting me on the back. "My wife is in the hospital," He tells me. "I'm sorry about that," I reply. "So, this...Ian Hecox was it?" He asks. I nod. "Is he your friend? Brother?" "Boyfriend," I correct him, somewhat quietly though. Usually when we would tell people that we're boyfriends, they would look at us in disgust. Instead, the man simply nodded "Ahh," He says. If only everyone could react like that. Treat us like we're human. Because that's who we are. "We'll do our best to make sure he's healthy again," He says, getting up and going back to his work. For the rest of the ride, I only sat there worrying. 

-TIME SKIP-

It is four....five? I'm not sure. But it's somewhere around there in the morning right now. There is dark circles around my eyes from lack of sleep. I'm extremely tired, but I need to stay awake. If Ian wakes up...I need to be there. He's going to wake up.....I need him to wake up. If he doesn't, I don't know what I'd do. I've been sitting in this damn chair for forever. I guess it makes sense though. He did loose a lot of blood. I cringed at the thought. Goddammit. I don't think I've ever wanted to see Ian more in my life until now. Him...right next to me. Just like I always hoped it would be. But....right now, I'm stuck in a nightmare. The worst part is...it never ends and I can't wake up. A nurse walks up to me. "You can see him now, if you'd like," She says. Finally. I nod and she leads me to his room. We stop at the door. "So you're his...?" She asks. "Boyfriend, Anthony." I say. "Well, Anthony, I would like to tell you that if everything goes to plan, Ian should be alright overall. But the amount of-" "Thank you," I inturrupt. I can't deal with any bad news right now. The only thing I need to do is see Ian. She opens the door and we walk in. My eyes tear up at the sight of him. His skin is sickly pale. Yet, it looks better than when he was stabbed. That bitch Kalel....Isane. Completely insane. I stand there, completely frozen. As soon as the nurse leaves the room, I run over to him and take his hand in mine. Ian looks extremely weak, yet somehow healthier. They did at least something. Maybe I should've listened to what that nurse had to say. I wouldn't be so curious...wait...he could still die. I don't like that thought but it stuck in my head now. What if Ian does? What am I suppose to do? I intertwine our fingers together. He smiles softly in his sleep. More hope to hold on to. Thank god. "I'm so sorry...I shouldn't have let this happen. Don't leave me." I caress his knuckle with my thumb. "We'll get through this together."

IAN'S P.O.V.

I feel so...alone. I have come to a conclusion that whatever appears in the bright light, is happening at this very moment. I've been fighting the darkness. I've been fighting death for Anthony. But...then he left. In the bright light I saw myself get surgery and more. But...now I'm alone. In a white room. With no one by my side. That's when I felt the darkness pull me in stronger. Maybe I should just give u- I am inturrupted by a hand taking mine. "I'm so sorry....I shouldn't have let this happen. Don't leave me." I smile as Anthony pulls me out of the darkness. "I won't, I never will," I reply. "We'll get through this together," Anthony says. My hopelessness faded away. I nod right before we both walk into the bright light. As we walk into life. Leaving death behind.

(A/N) I can't write sad endings....I just can't. It makes me too depressed so I had to make that happy thing. No, the story is not over. I have still so many ideas to write, yet, this is only one of them. Thanks for still reading ^-^
