Love pt.10

😋Hello, hope you're having a good day.

Daniel finished treating Leo's wounds. Then he left. For the next 3 months, Leo was tortured. He didn't say a word. Leo was becoming very ill despite what Daniel did. When he wasn't being tortured, he was fighting a fever. As each day past, he was more pain. Daniel would give him something for the pain but it didn't help him. His body was covered in burns, bruises, cuts, and more. He was hurt in every way possible.

One night, Leo was crying out in pain. He could barely do anything. Then Daniel came in. He helped Leo sit up.

"Leo, it's time. I can get you out." Daniel whispered.

"I won't live long enough." Leo panted.

"Yes you will."

So Daniel helped Leo up. They quietly snuck out of the building. When they escaped, they got as far as they could. Daniel took Leo to an old building. When they went in, Daniel helped Leo sit. He charged Leo.

"We need to get you to the hospital." Daniel said.

"I need Mattie." Leo moaned.

"Ok. Then call her."

Daniel handed Leo a phone. Leo called Mattie.

"Hello?" Mattie wondered.

"Mattie, it's me. I'm alive. Track this phone. You need to hurry." Leo answered.

"Ok. Leo, I love you."

"Me too."

Then they hung up.

"Lie down and rest. I'll see if I can get some water. When they get here, I'll leave. I need to help others." Daniel said.

"Ok." Leo whimpered. Leo laid down on the ground. Daniel left.

Mattie cried in tears of joy. She ran downstairs.

"He's alive. He just called me. We need to trace the number." Mattie said. Everyone was happy.

"How did he sound?" Mia wondered.

"Like he was in pain and sick."

"We should hurry. Max traced the number.

"I've got him. He's in an old building." Max said. So Mia, Mattie, Max, and Fred went to find Leo.

Meanwhile, Leo was becoming weaker and sicker. Leo was delusional from what he had gone through. When Daniel came back, he gave Leo the water. He helped Leo drink it.

"You have a fever. We need to get you to the hospital." Daniel said.

"No, I won't live long enough. I'm too ill." Leo moaned. "Go. They might get suspicious."

"Ok."

Daniel left. Leo unplugged himself and started to mess with his wire. He was so delusional that he was suicidal. He was almost done, when his family came. Mattie ran to him.

"No, Leo. What are you doing?" Mattie asked as she lifted Leo's head so that it was on her lap.

"I'm dying. I don't have long. I'm in so much pain. I'm too hot." Leo moaned.

"You can't die. Who's going to help me raise our child?"

"Child?"

Mattie put Leo's hand on her stomach. Leo felt the baby kick. Leo cried happily.

"Our child. We're going to be parents." Leo rasped.

"Let's get you somewhere safe." Mattie replied.

"I don't think I can stay awake much longer. Just stay with me."

"I will."

Then Leo passed out.

"Guys, he's passed out. We need to get him to the hospital." Mattie cried.

"An ambulance is on the way." Mia answered. Mattie grabbed Leo's hand and kissed Leo's forehead. Max came over and fixed Leo's wire. When he was done, the ambulance came. Leo was taken to the hospital. Mattie went with him. When everyone got to the hospital, they found Mattie in the waiting room.

"How is he?" Mia asked.

"They took him into surgery. The doctor said that it was bad. He was too pale. The doctor said that Leo was very ill." Mattie cried.

"He'll be fine."

"I'm scared."

They all sat down and waited. They prayed that Leo would life. 4 hours, later, Leo was out of surgery. Leo woke up and looked around.

"You're awake." The doctor said. "You're very weak. Go back to sleep."

"No. Mattie. Where's Mattie?" Leo moaned.

"I'll go get her. Just relax."

So the doctor left the room and went to Leo's family.

"Hello, my name is Doctor Ryan. Leo is very weak. He's awake and is calling for Mattie." Ryan said.

"That's me. Will he be ok?" Mattie answered.

"We'll know more tomorrow. He's lost a lot of blood. We gave him a blood transfusion. That will hopefully help him. We gave him some morphine for the pain. He was most likely in a lot of it. Hopefully his fever will go down."

"Can I see him?"

"Yes."

Ryan took Mattie to see Leo. She went into the room and saw Leo. She went to his side and held his hand.

"I'm here, Leo." Mattie whispered. Leo looked at her.

"I'm so weak." Leo rasped.

"It's ok."

Leo moved his hand so that it was on Mattie's stomach. Mattie held his hand against her stomach. Leo smiled as he felt the baby kick.

"I'm so happy." Leo said.

"I am too. You should go to sleep." Mattie replied.

"Stay with me."

'I will. I won't leave."

Leo nodded. Mattie kissed Leo and then watched him as he fell asleep. A couple hours later, Mattie fell asleep in the chair next to Leo's bed. Mia came in. She put a hand on Mattie's shoulder. Mattie woke up.

"How is he?" Mia asked.

"He's really exhausted." Mattie answered.

"You should go home and sleep. You need it."

"I can't leave him. I told him that I would stay with him."

I'll go home and get you some clothes, a blanket, and a pillow."

"Ok. Thanks."

Then Mia left. Laura and Joe came in.

"Do you need us?" Laura wondered.

"I'm fine. Mia's going to get me somethings. I just need to stay with him. I'll be fine." Mattie sighed.

"Ok. Text us if you need something."

"Ok."

So Laura and Joe left. Mia came back an hour later with stuff for Mattie. While Mattie was asleep, Leo's heart beat began to stop.
