CheckMate (A Luke Castellan fan fic. OC CHARACTER)

Trying and Failing

Raphaels POV

"Love wake up." He gently caressed the back of my thigh as he held me. I noticed he was sitting down. How long was I out? I snuggled deeper into his arms. "Love are you feeling alright? You're back feels hotter than normal." Now that he mentioned it, I was feeling off. My stomach hurt and my head was throbbing. "I'm fine Babe." I whispered into his ear. My head was still laying on his shoulder. I was trying to go back to sleep but my head was hurting so bad I couldn't.
"Love stop lying. I think you're sick. Which isn't good. Come on I'll make you some hot chocolate." He stood up again rebalancing me. I don't feel well. He's not lying. He quickly walked up to the kitchen and set me down on the kitchen counter. I was getting super tired again. I laid my head back onto the cabinet. My conscious left me as I started to slowly fall sideways. Luke held my head. I groggily reopened my eyes. "Love come on I'm putting the hot chocolate in a to-go cup and I'm driving you to the hospital. Somethings wrong." He lifted me in one arm and supported the drink in the other.
        My head started to get dizzy again. I bobbed it on his shoulder. Luke was almost running now. "You're gon' spill ho choclate evewywhewe." I mumbled. Luke rubbed my head and placed me in the car. He shouted orders to the men outside who guard the place and hurriedly rushed into the front seat. He placed a shaky hand in my thigh and backed out the driveway thing. I squinted my eyes at the sudden change of scenery. Specifically the bright ass sun. Why it was so sunny i don't have a clue. Damn you Apollo.
I flipped down the thing and closed my eyes. I moved my hand around to find the hot chocolate. I set it in my hand. Hoping it would bring me back to reality. I leaned my head back feeling the motions and bumps of the road. He squeezed my thigh. "Don't sleep Love. Come on. It'll be okay." "Trying here Babe. Tryin here." I brought the drink to my lips and took a couple chugs trying to stay awake and not fall into the vast sleep realm.
Suddenly the car stopped and Luke got out. He came over to my side and picked me up. "Open you're eyes Love." I could barely breathe. "I... can't." I mumbled. He ran inside wherever we were and started calling for help. I was placed on a bed of sorts. "Miss what is your name." My eyes opened from fingers touching them. "Raphael.... M-Miranda." The nurse nodded her head. "Sir you can't come back here." Luke was trying to come with me. "Let him come please." I begged quietly. "I'm sorry Miss Miranda we cant. You'll see him later on. Now hold still so we can help you." They put an oxygen mask on me and I started getting dizzy and tired. "Just relax ma'am everything will be alright."

A beeping sound startled me. My head no longer hurt but my arm was feeling incredibly numb. My entire body felt weak and my head was fuzzy. I weakly opened my eyes. Luke was napping on a couch next to my bed that he I'm assuming moved.
    I didn't want to wake him up. But I was super thirsty. I gently nudged him. I couldn't go any harder. He groaned. He must've registered who was poking him on the forehead  cause he sat straight up. "Love how do you feel?" I groaned. "Weak, worthless. Somewhere in between. Also really thirsty." I poured at him hoping he got the "get me a fucking drink" hidden question. "You're not worthless. You do probably feel weak because of the chemo. The pills stopped working and needed to up your dosage. You can go home in..." he checked the monitor. "In about an hour and a half. But will need to come back next Friday for more. Let me go get you a water." He kissed my forehead lightly and stood to get me a water out in the hall.
     I rolled over and grabbed my phone in the small bag that was next to the bed. I scrolled for a bit and my arm started to hurt again. I went to rip out the needle giving me the treatment. "I wouldn't do that Babygirl." I turned to the door. I smiled faintly at the familiar friend. "Hey Will." I said. He sat down next to me. He held my hand. "How do you feel?" I laid my head back on the pillow. "Shitty." He chuckled a bit.
    Luke came back in and handed me my water. Will squeezed my hand before promptly leaving. I sat up carefully of my arm and balanced the water in my legs before twisting it with my good hand. I chugged it. I laid my head back and started to get tired again. "Get rest Love. It's alright." Luke said rubbing the hair out of my face. I curled in a ball and closed my eyes. "Go to sleep love it's okay. I'm here. It'll all be okay." I nodded and moved my hand in his before falling asleep.
