Compulsive (Robert Downey, Jr.)

Your man

Emma’s POV

I looked at the bed to see Robert, looking at me.

His expression didn’t change much, but he looked like he was seeing me. His lips were parted and he looked surprised

“Robbie?!” I quickly grabbed his face.

“Y-You’re…” he said “…real”

I pulled him into a tight hug “Oh, Robbie, of course I am”

“You’re… here” He said, slowly.

“I’m here, Robbie, I’m here” I whispered, kissing his cheek, refusing to let go of him. He slowly sat in the bed, taking his hands to his head “I’m… d-dizzy. W-what happened to me?”

I gulped, he was talking so slowly.

I saw him looking at his hands, quickly spotting the IV in his right arm as well.

“No, Robbie, don’t take that… ahh”

I didn’t have the time to stop him. He ripped his IV and was now bleeding from its spot.

“Hmmm” he groaned.

I made some pressure in it and made him look at me.

He sadly looked at me “I-I don’t feel… n-normal”

I gently laid him back again “They injected you some medications I don’t really know. These are side effects, baby. It will go away, I promise.”

“I-I’m… slobbering!”

“It is alright, Robbie. Calm down. It will go away. I promise!” I looked at him.

“I’m… slow” He closed his eyes “I c-can’t think normally”

I caressed his hair “I think that is a side effect as well…”

“I-I am… in the hospital?!” He said, freaking out again.

“Shhh, it is okay. You will be out of here soon!”

“W-Why am I here? H-How long?!”

I looked down “Almost… four weeks” I whispered

He held my hand “I-I… didn’t get to go at y-your house. I-I’m such a...”

“Shhh, it wasn’t your fault. I didn’t know you were coming and then… you were here… alone”

He slowly gulped, before looking at me, caressing my hand “I-I’m… sorry Emma”

I half smiled at him “Oh, Robbie. I’m sorry too”

“I… Me and M-Macy never…”

“I know, I know. I’m sorry I didn’t let you explain Robert” I kissed his hand “I just…

I couldn’t stand seeing her close to you like that.” I laid next to him “You’re my man”

He looked at me, surprised, before slowly and softly smiled

“Y-You… forgive me?”

“There is nothing to forgive, when you did nothing, baby” I smiled “I love you”

“Y-Your man?” he smiled

“My man” I proudly said

“I-I love you… Emma”

I held him tight, kissing his hair “What was on your mind all this time, Robbie?” I asked “Did you know I was here?”

“Hmm” he breathed softly against my neck “I-I could hear l-lots of things… and voices. But everything was just… too slow. And… I could f-feel you, smell you. But… I didn’t know if it was just… my mind playing with me”
