Sorry for such the late update. Enjoy :)


DPOV

After an eternity of waiting to get to the house, I could finally see it in the horizon.

Adrenaline was pumping through my veins as I was watching Chloe slowly losing her life.

When the car came to a screeching halt, I jumped out of the car, carrying Chloe with me bridal style.

I plowed through the door and laid Chloe on the kitchen table.

"Simon, get some warm water and a couple of towels. Tori get the first aid kit. Andrew, come and help me or get help." I commanded all of them.

Chloe was in the nude, but I didn't care, she was on the verge of death.

When Simon came back into the room Andrew and I got to work.

We cleaned the blood off her body so it would be easier to assess the damage.

Once we were done cleaning her off, I saw, to my dismay that Chloe was in a worse shape than I had imagined.

There were cuts all over her body.

Some of them were so deep that you could see her muscles and some of them were just cuts.

And truth be told, I panicked.

But I didn't show it.

Calmly I said, "Andrew, can you stitch her up? And Tori, can you- can you, I don't know, check her in places?"

I got to work – I wiped her face and hands again.

Simon left the room.

He never was the one for blood, so I understood.

"Everything's fine in other places," Tori said.

I let out a sigh of relief.

As Andrew stitched her up, I grabbed her hand, closed my eyes, and prayed.

I really was never the one to pray – never actually having any god to believe in.

But that didn't matter now.

I prayed for Chloe with all I had.

I prayed to every god that existed.

"Okay Derek, I'm done stitching her up. You should move her to her room." Andrew told me.

"Okay."

So I picked Chloe up as carefully as I could and went upstairs to her room.

Tori opened the door for me and asked me, "Are you going to stay with her?"

I sighed, "Yeah."

No way was I leaving Chloe alone in her condition.

What if she woke up without anyone here?

What if there was a ghost that was harassing her?

It was out of the question to leave her here after all that has happened.

So I decided that I would stay by her side until she woke up.

Weather that be today or next month – I didn't care.

I was staying right here and no one could say anything to me.

"Okay, then I'll sleep in some other room. And Derek, it's going to be okay." Tori reassured me.

I never knew that she was the one for reassurance, but it helped.

"Thanks Tori," I said.

I laid Chloe on her bed and got her in a loose shirt and shorts.

I laid my head on her hand and was waiting until she woke up.
