Lonely Games (a jacksepticeye fanfic)

Chapter 19

I woke up from a nightmare about the previous day's events to the feeling of a person beside me. I had a moment of panic, convinced that it was Brad, before remembering where I was. I opened my eyes a slight bit and noticed a green mop of hair on the bed next to me. Sean was sitting in a chair next to my bed and had fallen asleep leaned over with his head next to my side. I tried not to wake him as I adjusted in bed, but it was no use. His head shot up and he stared at me for a second.

"Addy fucking hell, you scared me." He stood and wrapped me in a ginger hug, trying not to mess up any wires or bandages.

"Sorry, I was trying not to move too much."

"Not that, dummy, I thought I lost you. I thought he took you away from me. When Elise called to tell me what happened and she said you hadn't woken up yet. Oh, Jesus Addy I didn't know what to do." The look in his eye was not something I was used to, he was honestly scared. Scared for me. I choked back some tears and smiled.

"No need to worry, I am here, I am fine." I hugged him back lightly. He sat back in his chair all the way and I watched the concern in his eyes change to fury.

"I will kill him." His fists were clenched up now.

"Sean, relax, the police know what happened and they are looking for him. Besides we are leaving. Soon we will be far away from all of this shit and you won't have to worry." I was trying to be reassuring but I could hear a tremble in my voice.

"Why didn't you tell me about the notes Addy?" His eyes changed to yet another emotion, a bit of anger.

"I didn't think it was a big deal. He was just being weird I didn't want to upset you."

"How could you not tell me he was stalking you? He was in your house, he could have killed you." He was grasping my hand but I just turned away. I felt ashamed that I hadn't said anything.

"I didn't think he would ever do something like this. I knew he could hurt me, but I thought it was just his way of trying to get back at me. I didn't want to seem like I was over reacting." The betraying tremble in my voice was getting worse and tears threatened to fall at the edges of my eyes. I pulled my hand out of his and pulled my knees up to my chest.

"Adelyn, I know you don't want to hear this but I love you. I would do literally anything to protect you. Especially from him. I don't mean to be angry with you. I just I would have hoped you would have trusted me enough for this." I heard him get up and start to walk away.

"Sean, wait." I lifted my head to look at him and his face fell when he saw my tear stained face. "I... I lo... I care about you too. I was trying to protect you. I am so sorry I didn't tell you, it has nothing to do with trust. I trust you the most out of anyone in my life. I don't want to come between you and doing what you love. Your happiness is the most vital thing to me, and I was so worried that telling you about Brad would mess that up." He wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in my hair. I felt something wet on the top of my head.

"Don't ever worry about that. I am here for you no matter what, and that will always be true. I don't care who tries to stand in the way." He kissed the top of my head.

"Do you forgive me for not telling you? Or at least do you get why I didn't?" I asked as he pulled away.

"I get it and of course I forgive you." He smiled at me, I saw that he too had started to cry but gotten control of himself. "I'm just sorry I wasn't here to protect you."

"You are here now and that is all that matters." I reached for his hand as he sat down next to me again. "God I am hungry."

"I would say so, from what I hear you haven't really eaten much in a day and a half." He giggled. "Shall I go grab us some lunch from the cafeteria?"
