I started walking back to my room and I rounded the first corner and I saw Lorain and Dillon hugging and Lorain had her head on his shoulder crying. Then I looked a little further up the hallway and saw my parents walking towards my room. "Lorain what's wrong?" I asked running to her.
She looked at Dillon then at me and said "I'm sorry she's my best friend and she has a right to know." She looked so upset with her red cheeks sagging low.
"Yeah, but I'm your boyfriend and she wasn't supposed know yet." He mumbled and walked away.
Did I just hear him wrong? Lorain and Dillon are dating? "What was all that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Shia, you're moving and me and Dillon are going out." Lorain blurted out.
Why would I move? It made no sense; all Marshall did was follow me and not finish my stitches. For all we knew he could have gotten sidetracked and forgotten. Dillon said he would get Will on his side, which worried me. Will would do anything to keep me safe. I needed to ask Will what he thought. I went back to my room and slept waiting for my queue to go and see Will after the transplant.
*Will and I were at the beach at sunset walking by the water holding hands. This beach looked surprisingly familiar. I soon found out it was the beach I had been at during Spring break in Florida. We had our heads down looking at the deep blue water wash over our ankles, and I thought I heard footsteps behind us. When we got here it was only us. A voice screamed behind us and Will and I snapped our heads around. "That's my girl!" yelled a distinctive voice. It was Marshall and I saw something gleaming in the dim sunset, he lunged the silver object at Will and he fell to the sand. I started immediately crying and shouting. "It's okay. It's okay. It's okay Shia. It's okay." Will kept on saying to me as he was clutching his bleeding stomach. I was crying so hard I was shaking.*
*Will's Point of View*
I was shaking Shia repeatedly telling her it was okay, I figured she was having a bad dream, but she was crying so much I couldn't tell. Her body snapped up and she looked over at me in my bed. "What's wrong?" I questioned, and I wanted so badly to get up but the doctor wouldn't let me move very much for a while.
Dillon came running in the room and went straight to her, of course. "Are you alright?" he asked.
She looked at him for a second and looked away. I was curious as what he had done to her, it almost made me angry. No one was supposed to hurt her and he obviously had done something because she loved him too much to ever be a snob towards him. "Will, I need Will." She mumbled wiping away some tears.
His face showed he was hurt, but he was obedient to her wish and carried her over to me, then left. I scooted over and she layed down and put her head on my chest. I instinctively put my arms gently around her, assuring not to hurt her. "Do you wanna tell me what's wrong?"
She told me all about the dream as I rocked her as best as possible. "Well, you know I'm fine, so don't worry. What happened with you and Dillon?" I questioned.
"Lorain told me that I'm moving. Dillon came in and said that I needed to get away from this town and that you would agree with him and so would my parents. Is that true, did ya'll say yes?" Shia wanted me to say no so badly, but I couldn't I just want keep her safe. "Listen, I'm sorry but I just wanted to keep you safe. Don't get worked up though, we all are moving with you, we asked our parents and they said yes because we were all there during spring break and he could come after everyone just to get to you. Not that we won't protect you, I would do anything for you.
Shia looked at me almost has if she understood but like she was mad. "I honestly don't know what to say, I'm not so mad about moving now that I know you guys are moving with us, but why, is he really that big of a threat?" She asked with her beautiful eyes and her head cocked to the side.
"We just want to be sure and I don't want to scare you, but my dad looked him up at work and he has a record of harassment and abuse.
"So that's it, when are we moving?" she asked.
"I'm not exactly sure, soon though. For now we both need to get rest." I replied.
"Oh Will, I'm so sorry how was your surgery?" She asked suddenly.
"I'm good, everyone else will be too and I love you Shia." I said and touched the tip of her nose with my index finger and we took our well deserved nap.
"I love you too William." She replied quietly laughing.
