I opened my eyes to bright lights and heard soft sobbing next to me. Someone was holding my hand, I squeezed weakly and muttered the only thing on my mind. "Tim.." "Leo!" He hugged me, crying. "You said you wouldn't do it again! And I know we aren't together anymore but fuck it, Leo. I love you!" I was brought to tears, my voice strained. "I.. Missed you... So bad..." "Don't talk. Your neck is  bruised." I sighed and held Tim. "I'm mad at you, Leo. You promised." Tim sounded mad the first part but completely broke when he finished. "I-I'm.." "Don't talk, please. I was worried sick. If you just waited, Leo. Just for a day more.." He whimpered. I rub his back, feeling guilty out of my mind to make the one person in the world I loved with all my heart this way. "...I forgive you but I was so scared, Leo. You could've died right in front of me." He was a sobbing mess. He talked about how long he waited and how much he loved me and it killed me. 

Eventually he calmed down and left my room for some food and a nurse. I looked at the wall while he was gone. 

Stupid

Why are you so worthless?

I sighed and coughed, seeing a cup of water next to me and drinking it. 

A nurse came by and checked on me, telling me I'd be let out in 2 days at least. 5 at most. I smiled and thanked her. When she left Tim came back. I took in the sight. It looked like he hasn't been sleeping. Mostly just crying. I whimpered and reach my arms for him as he sets the tray of food on the table next to the bed. Tim hugs me and I hold him close, pulling him onto the bed with me. He goes limp and I check his face. The curly haired boy fell asleep. I smiled and kissed his forehead, allowing him rest. "Thanks Tim.." I muttered. I'll eat while he sleeps on my lap.

This boy is my life. Im not going to do anything as long as he's around
