I Won't Give Up On You! (Short Fanfic)

Chapter Seven

Oli, sitting on his temporary bed at ‘Phoenix Future’, was interrupted from his deep thoughts by a knocking on the door.

“Yes?” Oli calls in answer. The door opens to reveal nurse trainee, Michelle, standing in the door way of his room. Oli rolls his eyes; Michelle is constantly interrupting him, bugging him and flirting with him. She just never leaves him alone. Oli truly believes that the only reason Michelle became a nurse, and a rehab nurse to be specific, is so she can hook up with a messed up celebrity addict for their fame, and doesn’t really care who she gets.

“What do you want now Michelle?” Oli sighs irritably, sure to make it clear that he is not in the mood.

“Your sister is her to see you!” she chirps idiotically.

“I don’t have a sister Michelle.” Oli rolls his eyes and replies to her like he is talking to a remedial child. Oli looks rough on the outside and often his is also rough on the inside, but he is almost never rude, or condescending. So his behaviour towards her just proves how annoying he finds her.

“Oh, then who’s this?” She asks, as a stunning creature walks into his room.

“Lacey, oh my god baby, how did you get permission to see me today?” Oli jumps off the bed and charges towards Lacey.

“Dr Kaba asked me to come visit you.” Lacey beams.

“Aww you are so cute!” Michelle coos. “I’d love to get to know you better Oli.” She shamelessly flirts.

Without a word in return, Oli walks to the door and slams it shut in Michelle’s face, he turns back to Lacey. He grazes his fingers against her cheek to tuck stray hairs behind her ear, before leaning forward just enough that their lips barely touch and Lacey moves in the rest of the way kissing Oli lovingly.

“Slamming the door in your nurses’ face? That can’t be progressive.” Lacey raises an eyebrow.

“Only her, fuck she is annoying!”

“I can just imagine. A beautiful blonde, at your beck and call 24/7. Oh fuck, it must be like living on the dark side of hell.” Lacey teases. 

“You know there is only one sexy little blue eyed, brown haired, tattoo artist that just happens to be……. I don’t know….. A kissable distance away from me, which I am intensely in love with, right?” Oli pulls Lacey by her hips into a tender kiss.

“I love you babe.” Lacey chuckles at Oli.

“I love you more!” Oli pecks her lips over and over again, pulling her back with him until they both collapse on the bed with Lacey on top of Oli. Oli deepens the kiss, one hand in her hair, while the other rests on her bum.

“Imm… Wait Oli we need to talk baby.” Lacey giggles breaking the kiss. “Dr Kaba says you moods spike from extreme anger to extreme dejection and anxiety. She says that’s normal, but she says you won’t open up to the therapists, so she was hoping you would start opening up with me to make you more comfortable before you try with the therapists again. So talk to me baby, tell me what’s up. Oli caresses Lacey’s cheek, sighing. He flips over so he can rest his arms on her chest and his head on his arms.

“I’m just craving it so bad Lace. Sometimes I lie awake in utter pain from the cravings. Like a damn demon is screaming in my ears.” Lacey runs her fingers through his hair to calm him down. “I also miss you every second of everyday. I dream about you every night, sometimes good and sometimes bad. I feel like I’ve failed you, my parents, my brother, the band and most of all, the fans. And right now I’m struggling to believe that that what I am doing with my life actually means anything. Lately I’ve been thinking I should just leave the band.” Lacey places a finger to Oli’s lips to attempt to slow him down.

“I’m sorry baby.” Lacey runs her forefinger along Oli’s hairline removing stray curls from his eyes. “I know the craving are unbearable now, but just do everything they say and show you, and you will start to feel better. Dr Kaba has you on meds to help with the cravings. But she needs you to talk to the psychologists and occupational therapists. She believe that you addiction is stemmed from you addiction. So you have to promise me to do what she needs you to do.” Lacey pauses for a second and snuggles closer to him. Oli’s fingers skim the skin on her collar bone. “And remember that I’m her for you and will do whatever it takes to help. I will be here every visiting night from the second it starts to the second it ends, and when this is all over we will go home and be together all the time.”

“Imm, I can’t wait!” Oli sighs happily.

“But seriously Oli, you haven’t failed anyone, and what you do does mean something and to many it means everything. I should know, I was…No… still am the ultimate fan of you and the rest of Bring Me The Horizon. I don’t know who I’d be without your music. And if that still doesn’t convince you, just look at your emails, fan pages and social media, even my social media to see what people have to say about you. Your fans love you, and you mean so much. Just see what they have to say about you.” Lacey kisses Oli’s forehead

“And hey, you managed to piss of all those Christians that shove their beliefs down your throat. That’s gotta be a bonus right?” Lacey jokes, winking at Oli.

Oli remains silent, just smiling at Lacey, the first genuine smile in a long time. With closes eyes Oli give Lacey a simple, sweet and loving kiss.

“I love you so much. You know exactly what to say to open my eyes.” Oli sighs, fluttering his eyes open. Then suddenly he rolls over again so Lacey is on top.

“But going back to your earlier statement, you said you will do whatever you can to help. Well do you know what will really help right now?” Oli wiggles his eyebrows and squeezes Lacey’s bum in attempts to get off the heavy topic. Lacey shoots up in surprise.

“Well, I see you have your sense of humour back and well… you never really lost your sex drive.” Lacey laughs.

“Imm, never!” Oli moans into a kiss.

“But you can’t do that to avoid opening up with your therapists, you hear me?” Lacey playfully warns.

“You’re the only person I’ll ever touch like that baby.” Oli smacks Lacey’s bum, biting his lower lim. They stare at each other with a grin spreading across their lips, finding their naughtiness today humorous.

For the rest of Lacey’s visit, they read over fan messages, pictures and posts. While talking laughing and loving all of Oli’s fans.
