Because Of You | Nash Grier Fanfiction

Chapter 17

Everything happens so quickly. I went home around 1 in the morning after walking around for almost an hour. When I got there my family attacked me with hugs but I just stood there blankly, My feelings are numb.

My mom tells me to come sit in the living room with her and my dad so they can talk to me.

I really don't want to talk.

My mom starts "Where have you been? We've been worried sick!"

"I-" I start to answer

My dad interrupts " It doesn't matter right now. But Nash we have news."

"I already know. I was at the hospital." I answer biting my lip to hold in the tears.

"No Nash, Addi is alive."

I shoot up with happiness & hope. "Wait she is?" I ask urgently

"Yes, she was going into cardiac arrest and they shocked her trying to revive her and it worked."He says.

"Is she conscious?!?!" I practically scream at the top of my lungs with excitement.

"She just woke up less than 10 minutes ago but no ones been able to see her yet because they're doing more tests." My mom says.

"I'm going I have to see her!" I say as I practically fly to the door.

"Okay we hope she's going to be okay, we love you!" My mom replies.

"Love you guys too." I say back as I shut the door.

I run straight to my car and hop in. The second I start the ignition Im pulling off the side of the road & onto the street. I'm beyond lucky there wasn't any cops because I would've gotten a ticket no doubt about that. I don't even bother to find a parking spot when I arrive at the hospital instead I park in the handicapped parking, I could careless if I got a ticket at this point.

I race through the doors & to the front desk. " Can I see Addison Russet?" I ask hopefully.

The lady behind the desk types something into her computer which I assume is her name. Then she answers "They just finished testing & her family just left to go get her clothes, I'll show you to her room."

A mile wide smile plasters across my face as I nod my head vigorously.

She leads me down the same hallway I left earlier thinking I'd never be able to hold the girl of my dreams again. But now it's filled with hope and happiness. She points to the door, smiles and then turns to go back.

I take a deep breath then slowly walk in. I see Addi with all the same things hooked up to her but this time she has color & life. She turns her head and our eyes meet we just stay there looking at each other for a while then I walk over and sit down next to her in her bed and grab her hand that's now warmer than before.

"Nas-" she starts to say.

I push our lips together & our lips move in sync. It was passionate and full of love. We stop out of breath then I give her a soft kiss on her forehead. I lay by her in the bed since the beds pretty big and she's small There's just enough room for us. I put my arm around her and pull her close making sure to not unhook any of the precious wires. She rests her head on my chest and starts to cry softly.

"I love you so much baby girl, I can't believe I almost lost you." I whisper to her.

"I'm so sorry I love you." She breathes back.

We stay like that for a while just the two of us together. I look at her arm then carefully turn it over to reveal the scars. I lift it to my lips and kiss each individual mark.

"I promise you I will always be here for you & protect you." I say passionately

She looks up to me and gives me a small smile. " I just didn't know what else to do.. It felt like that's the only way I could get relief." She says her voice slightly trembling.

There's silence for a moment "Relief for what?" I ask gently

"Myself" She closes her eyes "I thought so terribly of myself and still do sometimes I would just feel so overwhelmed and worthless. That's the only thing that made me forget. " She finishes biting her lip to hold in the tears forming in her eyes.

"Oh Addie.. You're just such a great person I wouldn't of ever thought that.. I mean you're a lot of things.. Like beautiful, caring, funny, & overall a genuine person, but in no way worthless." I say resting my head on her head & hugging her tight.

"I love you so much.." She says a smile now creeping onto her face.

I smile a toothy smile & say back "I love you so much more."

She gives me a playful glare & says "Like that's possible."

Which makes me laugh "well I do." I say.

She says giving me a kiss on the cheek. Every time she kisses me my heart melts.

Suddenly her mom & Colton walk in. Her mom flashes me a smile & Colton kind of glares. I give them both a smile and start to get out of her bed. Addi gives me a small frown but I don't want to be rude to them.

Then I ask " When will she be able to go home?"

Her mom answers "Probably in a week or so."

"Oh, well I should go so you guys can talk." I look to Addi "Ill come first thing tomorrow so i can see your gorgeous face. "I say in a baby type voice, then I give her a peck on the forehead & wave goodbye to her mom.
