The Monster's Heart: (Reader x Marshall Lee)

Chapter 22

You sit on a porch. Legs crossed, lemonade to your left, feeling gentle tugs as your hair is woven into a braid. It was your porch. The warmth of the sun filled the air with scents and sounds of freshly cut grass and birds chirping. Your mother sat gracefully behind you as she did your hair.

"There, all finished." She spoke gently.

You turn with a smile upon your face to thank her.

"(Y/N)," she says softly.

"Yes?" You respond.

"Wake up." she says.

You give a confused look.

"What do you-" you start.

"(Y/N), wake up." She says a little more sternly.

"Mom-" you say.

"WAKE UP!" She screams.

Your eyes fling open. You're in a hospital.

-------------------

You breathe heavily as your eyes dart around the empty room. You try to sit up.

"Ugh!" You groan in pain.

Dizziness grasped you as you once again try to sit up. The door clicks open. You look toward it. Marshall walks in holding flowers and a blanket. He looks up and stares at the heart monitor next to you. His face looked tired and sad, he wore the same clothes you remember him in, and his hair was a mess. His body relaxed a bit as the heart monitor echoed steady beats into the room. His gaze shifts from the monitor to you. His eyes grow large as he sees your (E/C) eyes staring back at him.

"(Y/N)!!" He yelps as he throws the flowers to the floor.

He flies at the speed of light to your side.

"Oh my glob!" He yells as he wraps you in his arms.

Pain shoots through your body but you were wrapped tightly in his arms.

"Oh glob, I was so worried!" He says nearly shouting in your ear.

You observe his expression. He was more pale than usual, and looked like he hasn't eaten in days.

"Go home." you say struggling out of his arms.

"What?" He says releasing you.

"I said go home. I'm fine aren't I?," you say carefully removing the blanket from your legs.

"But I don't- what's wrong?" He says as he helps you.

"I don't know, how about you ask that girl you were with in the Ice Queen's lair, seems to me you guys are great friends." You say flatly as you make your way to the door.

Your head still throbbed with every step but you did not feel like being in the same room as him.

"What are you talking about?" He says behind you.

You walk through the door and out the room. The nerve of some people.
