Chance's POV
It's been 3 hours since I found Alexis. 3 hours since she was rushed to the back. 3 hours since I held her in my arms. 3 hours too late. If I would have gotten there earlier, maybe I could have stopped this sooner. Maybe if I would have paid attention earlier today, this could have been prevented.
Alexis with no last name!! The doctor yelled.
" That's me, I'm here for her." I said loudly.
" She's in the back, you can see her now" The doctor said calmly.
"Is she ok? Will she be ok?" I asked
"Well, the cuts, they were deep. She lost a lot of blood. If it weren't for you, she would have been dead. You made it just in time for us to save her life. She's fine, just don't speak too fast or be too loud. Ok? Everything will be fine." He said reassuringly
We walked to the back until we reached her room. I just wanted to cry, a person that I cared for was hooked up to machines and tubes like she wasn't anything important.
"I'll leave you be. Remember, everything will be alright son" The doctor said closing the door behind him.
"Alexis?" "Can you here me?" I asked quietly.
"Alexis please wake up. I promise to do better, to treat you better, whatever will make you happy. If you want me to leave, I'll leave, Ill do anything, just please wake up." I cried.
Alexis POV
Why does everything feel so compressed all of a sudden. Like it's getting hard to breathe.
"I'll do anything, just please wake up"
Who the hell. I'm not dead. I just wanted to take a nap.
"I'm up, I'm up" I said opening my eyes.
"Oh I thought I lost you !!! Why would you do that to yourself huh?!?! Why?!?!" He exclaimed
"I didn't want to have to go through it anymore. I didn't want you to have to go through it anymore. You always take up for me, you always have to make sure that I'm ok, you always babysit me and I'm tired of it. I know you are too!" I said honestly.
"Babysit? No I don't. I make sure you are ok because I care for you. You don't burden me. I'm not tired of you or taking care of you and I never will be." He said seriously.
"But I'm a big girl Chance. I don't need someone taking care of me. Especially someone like you because it only makes the pain worse. You think you are helping, but the longer you stay by my side, the more I hurt inside and the sad thing is you will never know the reason." I yelled slightly.
"Someone like me?!?!? What is that supposed to mean huh?? How am I hurting you, tell me how!!" He yelled.
"Chance leave. Please leave" I said tearing up.
"No. Tell me now, I'm not leaving until you do." He said sternly.
"Chance plea- "ALEXIS TELL ME" He yelled.
"IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW YOU DON'T FEEL THE SAME WAY OK?!?! I exclaimed
"That's why" "That is the reason. I see all the girls you've dated in the past, I look nothing like them. I'm not stick thin. I don't have perfect hair or the perfect skin. Hell I fail almost every class I take, I'm not a cheerleader. And yes I love to eat. You, you are the top notch Chance. You are a musical genius, passing all classes. You even perform everytime the school has a show, and everyone loves you. Why would someone like you be with someone like me?" I asked looking in his eyes.
"I wouldn't" Chance said with a straight face.
"Now leave. I don't want you here anymore" I said as the tears started to fall once again.
As the door closed all the pain I was holding in came out. He didn't even look back, just left.
I looked at my now bandaged wrists. I'm a failure, I couldn't even do this right.
"Maybe next time" I sighed.
