He stared at the tv, it was her, lying in a hospital bed. Her eyes were barely open at this point, she was still extremely exhausted. Cole wrote the hospital's address down grabbing his keys. He raced to the hospital running into the lobby to be stopped by someone.
"Excuse me sir, I'm sorry, I can't let you pass. You need to talk to that lady right over there," he pushes him lightly over to a lady.
"How can I help you?" She put on a smile staring at him.
"I'm looking for Lili Reinhart," he tapped his fingers anxiety spreading through him. It seemed to be all the emotion he's ever known in the past few days.
"Room 121," she smiles looking up to see he's already gone, most likely racing down the hallways.
He hit the elevator for up, about twenty times before it opened. He got in and hit the Level Two another twenty times.
When it dinged open he raced to 121 opening the door quietly. There she was, lying in bed, her eyes barely open. She looked tired, but something in her wouldn't let her sleep. She didn't even look up when he closed the door, she was most likely lost in the world of daydreaming.
He didn't say anything, he didn't want to startle her, and he didn't know what to say. Most of her cuts had started to heal, but some were stills scattered on her arms, and face.
He clears his throat, "hey."
She blinks a few times before looking up at him. Her neck already sore for having to look up at his six-foot frame.
So many thoughts were raiding his head but he shook his head sitting on the chair next to her bed.
"Are you okay?" He searched her face for any signs of distress.
"Why are you really here Cole? Are you here to tell me how much of a bitch I was for doing that to you? Or how I did it only for sex?!" By now she was fuming. "Did you really think I was going to go through all that pain of leaving you for a stupid piece of notebook paper." She heaved in pain. "Go ahead tell me what a disappointment I am, tell me how you wish I was prettier, so you'd fight for us."
He gawked at her. Did she really think he was here to rub the fact that he made her get hurt in his face?
"Stop," he closed his eyes. For the past few days Cole has been dreading this. He did this to her, he blames himself for the fact that she got hurt. He leaned back, his eyes starting to sting. "Do you know how sick and worried I've been? I thought something bad happened to you, and something did. And it's all my damn fault."
She sucked her breath in.
"Camila told you didn't she?" Lili laid back, suddenly feeling like she could pass out.
He nodded his head. "That was my fault too, this was all my fault." He put his head in his hands wishing the pain would disappear, but it didn't.
"This isn't your fault, I should've left this god awful town. I had a chance to avoid all of... this," she muttered. "Once I get out of the hospital, I'm leaving, I don't know where yet. But I know I'm going."
Pain filled his eyes as he listened to her go on about moving, leaving him. He dreaded that thought, her moving because of him.
"Lili look at me," he brushed his fingers lightly through her hair. "Look at my eyes and tell me you don't love me."
"You can't do that, that's not fair," she furrowed her eyebrows.
"Don't leave me Lili, I love you, I love you so much it hurts to see you like this, or here about the past."
"I'm sorry Cole, I can't stay. I love you, I do, but what you said made me realize. We can't be together, you have so many other prettier girls out there looking to date you-"
"Lili I want you, and only you, please!" His voice breaks.
"Cole, I think it's best for you to leave," she sighs. "I'm going, and you can't change my mind."
He gets up. "Don't do this to me, Lili, don't, you can't."
"I'm sorry," she cries. "I'm so sorry, I was never enough for you, that I did this to you. Please leave, your making this harder then it already is," she grabs his hand.
He pulls away, hurt. He shakes his head clearly his throat. "I hope you get better soon."
He leaves with that. She cries feeling the weight lifted off of her shoulders, but doomed replaced with larger one. A few more days, and she would be out of hospital.
