Rose pov
I wake up. I look over at Paxton. I see blood soaking through his shirt. I start to freak out. I run to the bathroom I get a towel and run back and put the town on his side. I start to shake him awake. "Ow Ow" he says. He grabs his side. I see him open his eyes. "Rose I can explain" he says. "No you can tell me the truth" I say. I see him get tense. Then he sighs. "Ok Rose I'm sorry but I got in an accident at the gym. This guy was hitting his girlfriend so I punched him and one thing led to another and he pulled out a knife and stabbed me" he says. I sigh. "Paxton why didn't you tell me" I ask. "Cause I thought you would be mad at me" I say. I see his sleeve come up. I see fresh cuts on his wrist. "Paxton" I say. "Rose I'm..." but I cut him off. "No safe it Paxton I'm done with your apologies I see now this is your life you can't stop hurting your self so I'm going to quit trying to help..." I start. I laugh. "I mean I really thought that I could help you but I was just stupid to think you would stop" I say. I see him look at me with sorrow and worried in his eyes. "Rose please don't give up I need you" he says. "And I needed you Paxton but lately I feel like I'm making it worse" I say while wiping a tear from my face. "No no Rose you didn't make it worse you made it better" he says. "How, how did I make it better how did I make you better" I ask him. He looks down. "You told me you loved me" he says. I look at him. "What" I ask. "You told me your in love with me" he says. "Because I am" I say. I see him smile. "I love you" he says. "I love you too" I say. After a while we go to the hospital. They took him to the emergency room and they fixed him up. I see him starting to open his eyes. He looks at me. "Hi" I say. "Hello" he says. I see him smile. He holds his side. "Paxton take it easy they fix your side you have 38 stitch's" I tell him. "What" he says. "It's ok Paxton your fine" I say. I see him smile. "Thank you" he says. "For what" I ask. "For helping me" he says. I smile. "No problem" I say. I see him looking at my eyes. I kiss him. "I love you" he says. "I love you too" I say. The doctor comes in after awhile and tells up we can leave after a few test. We there done I help Paxton to my car and we drive to my house. I open the door. "Rose I can open the door" he says. "I know but your hurt I don't want you to get worse" I tell him. I see him smile then nod. "Ok" he says. We walk in to the kitchen. I see my mom with a cup of coffee and some papers. "Hey mom what are you doing" I ask her while me and Paxton sit down. "Oh me and your father are getting a divorce. She says. I feel sad but happy for them.
I see Paxton grab his side. "Do you want some ice" I ask him. He nods his head yes. I get up and go to the fridge. I get some ice and put it in an zip lock bag. I give it to him. "Thanks" he says. I smile and nod my head. After. While of talking my mom got done with the papers. "I'm going to go drop these off I will be back later" she says. "Ok mom" I say. "Bye" she says. "Bye mom" I say. "Bye Alice" Paxton says. I see my mom leave. I look to Paxton I see him still holding wis side. "Let's get you upstairs" I say. "Rose I'm fine" he says. "Ah Ow" he says grabbing his side. "Paxton you need to get some rest" I say. I see him sigh. "Ok" he says. I help him up the stairs and in to my room. He gets in my bed. I clean the sheets and the cover. I see a tear roll down Paxton's face. "A..are you crying" I ask him. "No" he says. I see another one go down his face. "Babe don't lie to me please" I say. I see him sob. I go to him. "What's wrong" I ask. "N.nothing" he says. "Paxton it can't be Nothing your crying" I say. I have never seen him cry since his uncle did that to him. I feel bad for him. I slowly and gentle hug him. He smiles into my neck. "I love you" I say. "I love you too" he says. I kiss his shoulder. I let go of him. I get on my side of the bed and cuddle up to him. "Paxton are you ok" I ask. "No" he says. "What's wrong" I ask. "My life isn't perfect you know that but it's not the worse it's not the worse because I have you" he says. I smile. I kiss his lip. "I love you" I say. "I love you too" he says. I smile. I put m head to his chest. I slowly drift away to a dream....
