It was 3 in the morning. We had school but my mom let me miss today. Marlon's parents let him miss school today too. The drive from Marlon's house to the hospital was a 10 minute drive. It felt like it took hours. I couldn't get Louis out of my mind. I should have done something. I'm so stupid. It should've been me, not him. Brody...She tried to stop him. He won't get away with this. He hurt my friend. He hurt the love of my life. I can't lose him, I won't let him go. I put my earphones in and listened to XXXTENTACION and Juice WRLD. I felt my heart fade away. All I felt was darkness surround me. I felt alone, broken again. I got lost in my thoughts. I hurt him. He's hurt because of me. He should've never met me. I can't live without him. He's the reason I smile and laugh. He's the reason I actually like school. I love him... I know I'm being extra as fuck but... He's all I got. He's the only one that understands me. I felt someone nudge me. I look up to see Marlon. I took my earphones out. "We're here..." He said. We got out of the car. My parents stayed in the parking lot. Marlon, AJ and I went inside. We walked up to the counter. "We're here to see Louis Anderson and Brody King." I said as my voice cracked. The lady gave us stickers to let the nurse know we are visiting. The nurse lead us to their rooms. We stood outside them. "I'll check on Brody, go ahead and see Lou.." Marlon said. AJ and I faced his room. I couldn't move. I didn't want to see him attached to machines. I wanted to see him smiling and holding me, telling me that everything is going to be okay. "Please don't leave me..." I muttered. AJ had tears in his eyes. He grabbed my hand. I looked down at him and gave a slight smile. I opened his door slowly. AJ and I peered in. "Louis?.." I muttered. We walked in and saw him in the hospital bed. He was still out of it. I started to cry. AJ ran over and hugged Louis' arm. I walked over and started talking as tears fell down my face. "It's my fault you're here Lou...I should have called the cops when he attacked me at the Lodge. I'm such an idiot. I'm so sorry...you should....stay away from me...I'm no good to you..." I said. I put my head down on his chest. His eyes flutter open. "Clementine..." He muttered. I looked up at him. He had a smile that grew when he saw my face. "Louis!" I yelled as I gave him a big hug. "Ow...easy there." He said. I let go of him. "I'm so sorry..." I teared up. He put his hands on my face. "It's not your fault Clementine. Gabe is a dick, it's not your fault that he is. At least he's in his place now. You're not an idiot so stop with that bullshit. I'm not going anywhere okay?" He said. "Okay.." I said as I continued to cry. He pulled me in for a hug and he kissed my forehead. I looked up at him and kissed him. "Seriously? Get a room." AJ said as he crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Hey little dude." Louis said as AJ walked over and hugged him. Louis looked over and noticed my hoodie, covered in his blood. I looked down and noticed that I was wearing it. I took it off and handed it to him. "You saved my life.." I said. "And you saved mine." He said as he revealed his stitches on his side. "How?.." I asked as I looked to the side. "If you didn't use your hoodie to stop the bleeding, I would have died." He said as he examined my hoodie. I look back at him. "I love you Clementine..." He muttered. "I love you too Louis..." I said as tears ran down my face. I walk over and hold his hand. "So uh how are you feeling?" I asked. "Just peachy." He said as he giggled. I giggled a little too. "Louis, it's not the time to be silly." I said. "There's always time to be silly, besides I wanted to see your beautiful smile." He said. Marlon walked in with Brody, who was on crutches. I walked over to Brody and hugged her. "Thanks for having my back." I said. "I couldn't let him rape you Clem let alone, kill you. We're a family, we fight for each other." She said. "How's the leg?" I asked. "Good, they said I can go home tonight." She said with a smile. "Hey man, how you feeling?" Marlon asked Louis. "I'm fine, I'm going to have one hell of a scar." He said with a smile. They both chuckled. Louis looked at me then he noticed the cut on my collar bone. "You should get that cleaned up." He said. Everyone looked at my collar bone and saw the cut. "He hurt you?!" AJ said in an angry tone. I looked up and everyone noticed the cut on my neck. "AJ I'm fine." I said. AJ was still mad. Marlon walked over and looked at my meck and collar bone. "He got you pretty good." He said. I sighed. "Let me see." Louis said. I was hesitant at first but I walked over and he looked at my cuts. "Fucking asshole." He sighed. The doctor came in. "Well Louis, it's good to see you have some good friends." He said. "Anyways, Louis you should be able to go home tonight but you need someone to take care of you." He said "I'll take care of him." I said. The doctor looked over. "What's your name?" He asked. "Clementine." I responded. He nodded. "If his stitches pop or anything like that bring him back and we'll fix him up. Here's a list of things he can and can't do." He handed me a list and he looked at my cuts. "Looks like you need stitches too Clementine." He said. I sighed as he grabbed everything to stitch me up. Your collar bone area only needs stitches luckily." He said. After a few stitches, he finished. "Alright Clementine, whenever you guys are ready to leave, go to the counter and check out." He said as he walked out. I look at Louis. Marlon helped him up. I grabbed Louis' jacket. He had ace wrap over his stitches. I handed him his hoodie and he put it on. He put his arm over my shoulder as I helped him walk. Brody, Marlon, and AJ followed. We soon left the hospital and my parents saw us. My dad walked up to Louis. "Thank you for protecting my daughter. You have my respect." He said. Louis nodded and held his hand out. My dad shook Louis' hand. "I love your daughter, I would do anything to keep her safe." Louis said. My mom came over and hugged him. "I'm glad that you're okay." She said. Brody's parents picked her and Marlon up. "So um mom, dad...Can Louis live with us till he gets better? His parents are out of town for 2 weeks." I said as I held Louis up. They both nodded and we went home. We got inside my house. "Okay Lou, we got stairs. Can you do stairs?" I asked. "Totally, I got this." He said. We went to the steps. AJ ran to the top. "Okay Louis, you can do this." AJ said. "Looks like I got a fan." He said. "Shut up." I giggled. We started up the stairs. "Shit.." Louis groaned. "What? You okay?" I asked. "Yeah, I just get a sharp pain here and there. Let's keep going." He said. "Don't scare me like that fucker." I smiled. He chuckled. We made it to the top of the stairs. I lead Louis to my room. I had a full size bed so luckly it was big enough for the both of us. I helped him get in my bed. "Okay so do you need anything?" I asked. "Clem, I'm fine, seriously." He said. "Louis, it's my job to take care of you." I said as I put my hands on my hips. "Well can you get me some water please?" He asked. "Of course." I said. I went downstairs and got him some water. I went back upstairs and saw him scrolling through Netflix. I smiled as I brought him his water. "Thank you." He said. I nodded and laid next to him. "So what are we watching?" I asked. "I was thinking that we could continue watching Santa Clarita Diet." He said with a smile. "Cool and you were right, I do like it." I said as I laid my head on his chest. "Louis?" I asked. "Yeah?" He said. "Thank you for not leaving me..." I said as I teared up. "Clem, I would never leave you." He said as he kissed my forehead. I smiled and kissed him. "So no school for us?" He asked. "Nope, we are taking the week off." I said with a smile. We watched TV till 5 in the morning. We dozed off. I'm glad he's okay. He saved me and I saved him. He's my world and I'm his. I want him to get better and I'll take care of him. I won't let anyone hurt him again. I keep having flashes of him getting stabbed. Gabe will pay for what he's done. I won't let him get away with this. Not this time. It's been a long night. The night will be over soon....
