Tessa

A bright light blinded me when i opened my eyes. I looked around confused seeing nobody in the room.

" Nate?!" I called in a raspy tone hoping he continued to care about me.

How long was i passed out?...What happened?

" Nate?!" i called again tearing up feeling alone and scared. I groaned sitting up pulling my knees to my chest.

" Tessa...You're up?...I-"

" Nate..." I smiled climbing out if the bed wincing at the feeling of something pulling me back.

I looked around confused seeing a tube of some sort connecting me to some bag of clear liquid and another one in my opposite arm doing the same with an orange liquid.

" W-What's going on?" he asked tearing up feeling trapped " Nate take it off!...I-I LET ME GO!!" I cried squeezing my eyes shut.

" Tessa baby calm down i'm...I'm right here" Nate said wrapping his arms around me. I cried into them scared of him letting me go.

" Please don't leave me..." i sobbed into his chest.

" Tessa I...I won't..." he mumbled resting his forehead on mine.

" Promise...Promise me" i cried pulling back. Nate looked down with his eyes closed. " Nate..." i said softly.

Was he gonna leave me?...Why was he so hesitant?...H-He's gonna lea-

" I...I promise" he nodded intertwining our hands.

I smiled looking up at him.

" Where are we?" i asked looking around at the white room confused

" We're...We're in a hospital baby..." he said caressing my cheek, staring at me in admiration. I softly smiled pecking his lips.

" I'm sorry...I'm sorry i chose Derek the first time I-I love you" i stammered looking down. Nate lifted my face kissing me softly.

" Don't apologize, It's not your fault..." He said weakly smiling "Y-You're perfect" he said blinking back tears.  I wiped his tears running my hand down his stubbly cheeks.

I smiled back wrapping my arms around his torso.

" When can i leave?" i asked furrowing my eyebrows. Nate sighed holding me close.

" I don't...I don't know" he stammered but in could tell he was lying...I pulled back confused and scared.

" Nate...What's goin on?"

" Lets...L-Lets read a book yea?" he asked letting go and walking over to a book case across the room. I furrowed my eyebrows watching him look for a book.

" Sure..." I said softly

Nate pinched his nose bridge and quietly sobbed for a second before turning around with a fake smile and a book in his hand like he didn't think i saw what happen or was gonna act like he didn't.

I looked down at my fingers trying to figure out what was going on because obviously Nate wasn't gonna tell me.

Nate snuggled beside me in bed laying my head in his chest and kissing my forehead.

" Congratulations! Today is your day...you're off to great places...You're off...and...away" Nate sniffled reading with a cracked voice...

Dr. Seuss used to be my favorite before...Not so much anymore...

The reading turned into a little more fun but i slowly started to get bored by it and fell into a nap. Nate fell asleep right beside me burying his head into the crook of my neck.

When i woke up i turned around facing him smiling at his beautiful sleeping face. I reached my hand up caressing his soft and stubbly cheek, Tracing shapes onto his chest and tracing his tattoos. I lightly pecked his lips falling in love with him over and over.

My face instantly fell and tears built up into my eyes.

" You like this?!...Do you like this you dirty no good whore?!...You deserve this!!!...You. stupid. Little. Slut. !"

I sobbed into Nate's chest digging my nails into his shoulder.

" Tessa...Baby what's wrong?" he asked waking up. I cried into his chest ignoring his questions.

My breathin started to get heard, i began to hyperventilate digging my nails into his chest opening my eyes wide.

"Tessa...Tessa breathe!...Breathe baby...Remember when we were 14...and we would go to the park and get ice cream and you would smile that beautiful smile i fell in love with...I love you and nobody is gonna hurt me anymore" He said caressing my cheek.

My breathing slowed down and i nodded snuggling into his neck.

" I love you baby...I love you so much" he sniffled kissing all over my face. I giggled straddling his hips.

" I love you too Nate...Why're you crying?" i asked wiping his tears.

" Because...I hate...I hate what happened to you...These last 5 months have been horrible without you...You've been in a coma and i've been having to beat people's asses for talking about you...I can't take those sick things they say...You don't deserve that..." He said combing a hand through his hair.

" Nate i love you and i thank you but...I'm gonna get out if here sometime this week and i-i'm gonna be able to handle it..." I nodded caressing his cheeks " S-So don't cry...we got this" i weakly smiled.

Nate sighed looking down.

" Yea...Yea...I'm a bit tired so can you please cuddle with me so i can go back to sleep?" he asked making me giggle pecking his lips.

" Ofcourse we can...I never wanna leave your arms..."
