It's a geek life (Aston Merrygold fanfic)

Part 20

I had my eyes closed but I could hear some footsteps run into the room and followed by some shouting. That one angelic voice. The one that I know would save me. Aston. I would have breathed a sigh of relief but it hurt far too much to even try. "Get off of her!!!" I heard him shout at Ryan. "You?! I should have known it was you!!" Oh gosh. I prayed to God that he wouldn't hurt Aston. I could deal with him hurting me but not him. I could never cope with that if he did. There was a scuffle between them and I pulled my arms away from my face a little so I could see. Ryan swung a punch at Aston. "Ryan don't hurt him!!" I shouted even though that hurt too. I tried to get up but collapsed in pain.

Luckily Aston dodged his punch and hit him back instead. Ryan fell to the floor holding his face but he was knocked unconcious as his head hit the floor. It was definitely self defense though and I would prove that if I ever needed to. "Danie?! Are you ok?" Aston said as he rushed over and kneeled down next to me. You know what the funny thing was? Me, my Mum and my Dad had joked for years that in the Michael Jackson song Smooth Criminal he sang "Danie are you ok". He obviously didn't but it was strange to hear something like that in a similar situation to the one of the song. I nodded. "I'm fine." I said as I tried to get up again but still couldn't. "Your obviously not.... Now come on, I'll take you to the hospital." I didn't even get a chance to say yes or no before he picked me up carefully in his arms. I put my head against his chest and he kissed the top of my head. "Everything will be alright now I promise."

At the hospital a bandage was put around my waist as my ribs were badly bruised. The doctor said I was incredibly lucky to not have anything more serious than that. My bandage had to be changed every day and Aston had promised to help me. He did though and I was living with him now too. He also helped me to get changed as well until I felt good enough to do it myself. One day he was helping my put my top on and a jacket. He smiled at me. "You ok Danie?" I nodded. "I'm just cold." I said as I shivered a little. "Ok then. I have an idea." He walked over to the wardrobe. "What is it?" He looked over his shoulder at me smiling. "You'll see." I looked confused but I still couldn't see what he was getting out the wardrobe.

Honestly. What on earth was he up to? I soon found out though. Aston came back over to me with a hoodie in his hand. Wait that wasn't one of mine. I smiled. "Ast you don't have to. I'll just have one of mine." "No Danie. I insist. I know how much you like mine because you can cuddle up into them." Before I could resist he'd already put it on me. OK, he was right though. I looked up at him and he smiled as he kissed my forehead. "See that's better right?" I nodded. "Yeah. Thank you." I smiled.

Words couldn't decribe how good it felt to have my Aston back. The one I loved and the one who had fell in love with me. He'd been away for far too long. Everything was back to the way it should be. I hoped this lasted longer then it did last time. I had a pretty good feeling it would though. Yeah it would. I was 90 percent sure it would. Mind you I was wrong the last time wasn't I?
