My Cuddly Pizza Monster *A Michael Clifford Love Story*

Chapter Five

*Lexie's POV*

I slowly open my eyes as I hear what sounds like Michael crying quietly beside me. I look around at my surroundings, and I realize I'm in a hospital room. The memories from the day rush start rushing back into my mind. Slowly, I move to grab Michael's hand which makes him look at me. He takes his free hand and wipes his tears quickly. "Please don't cry Mikey, I'm fine.."

"Whaaat? I was just rubbing my eyes, don't be ridiculous." He fake chuckles then shakes his head at himself, "I'm sorry for crying, I just hate that you felt that pain, and it's all my fault." He kisses my hand softly. I instantly feel bad that he is blaming himself for what happened. "It's only the first day of us being official, and you've already gotten hurt. Maybe it's a sign that I'm bad luck for you, maybe you should stay away from me."

"Hey, don't do that. Don't blame yourself." I say as I reach over and grab his face in my hands. "You saved me from a terrible situation with my ex boyfriend, and you've always been here for me, through everything. Just so you know, I will never ever stay away from you." I lean over slightly and peck his lips. 

"Gosh Lex, you're just the best thing that has ever happened to me and I was so terrified of losing you. I saw all the blood seeping through your clothes and I pretty much had a heartastroke. I just want you to be alright, babygirl." 

I hear a faint knock on the door, and a middle aged woman walks in the room in bright blue scrubs, "Hey there, my name is Aubrey and I'm going to be your nurse while you're getting better." I nod at her and she walks over, checking my vitals. 

"I'm going to be okay, right?" I ask as Michael grabs my hand again. He gently squeezes my hand and kisses my cheek. "I'm just worried and I figured if I asked, you would know the answer," I continue rambling on, "I honestly wasn't sure if you as a nurse were at liberty to say or if I had to wait for the doctor to tell me how I'm doing, even though I feel fine now and just feel a little pain in my stomach." I mentally scold myself for talking so much, which I usually do when I'm nervous, but now is not the time. 

"You're going to be fine, Miss Williams. When you were stabbed, the knife missed any important arteries. We stitched up the wound and covered it with a bandage. We need to keep you overnight for observation, but you will be free to go tomorrow morning. I've already written you a prescription of pain pills to make sure you aren't suffering too badly with the pain. You're a very blessed girl, Alexis. If the knife had been plunged into you less than an inch to the left of where it did, it would have been very bad and you most likely would have been struggling for your life right now. Consider yourself lucky." She states this then walks out of the room, shutting the door behind her. 

"I'm so glad you're alive, Lexie. I don't know how I could live without you, I don't think I'd even want to." I smile and hug him softly. "Don't leave me to live on this planet alone without my best friend."

"Did you just friendzone me?" I ask with a fake, dramatic gasp. I push out my bottom lip and cross my arms across my chest to show my discontent. 

"If I friendzoned you, would I do this?" He leans over and kisses me deeply, running his fingers up and dont my arm, giving me chills. 

****A/N: okaaayy so it's been forever since I've written on this. 6 years to be exact. I know my writing isn't as good as it used to be, but I'm out of practice, so to whoever is reading this: please go easy on me with the criticism. Unless it's constructive criticism, of course. Byeee.
