Song for Chapter: The Stand By Mother Mother
Breathing.
It was the only true sign that he's Claire was alive and still on this earth. But how much was she still here? Was she still the same Claire? Quil still couldnt wrap his head around why she had jumped on the ledge, why she was that miserable that she had choosen to take her own life instead. Was he not enough for her to stay on this earth just a little bit longer? He didnt know the answer anymore. He gave a small sigh and slowly took her hand, careful not awake her, and pressed his lips to the skin. " Keep holding on Claire, Your stronger then this. You've always been.." He whispered. He had been talking to her for hours, praying and wishing that she'd wake up. That he'd get to she her beautiful brown eyes. The thought of never talking to her again sent a shiver down his spine. He couldnt lose her again. Not like this. Was he ever gunna have anything he wanted?
Quil stayed by her side for the next few hours, only moving to go to use the rest room, not bothering to eat was something he now regretted. But he couldnt leave her for more then a few minutes. He would get so worked up about worry about her that he'd drop everything and head back. So he didnt see the point. But he could slowly feel the weakness taking over his mind. The dizzyness was a sure sign of something was wrong but he was to stubborn. He always had been. "I'll stay by your side Claire.." He mumbled quietly as he lowered his head down into her side and closed his eyes, letting the sound of her breathing pull him into a much needed sleep.
Now he didnt know whether he was dreaming or he was just going crazy, probable a little bit of both, but he swore he had seen Old Quil come up to him and just his shoulder just before he had passed out. How wrong would it be just to let the depression finally take over and forget about everything? What did he have to live for anymore if Claire left his life again. Sure he had survived without her before but now as he had gotten to know her so much more, it was hard to be away from her. He still had so much to explain to her. So much to tell to her about the deep bond they shared. But how could he? She just got out a of a bad relationship with her husband, idiot in his opion, and he knew she wasnt ready for a knew lover. "Q-Quil..?" A sof voice pulled him out of his dream world and out in the hospital room were they sat. His eyes flittered open and to the awaiting face of Claire, who had sat up and managed a small smile. "Claire! Your up.." He whispered back, raising his hands to cup her cheeks within his. "How do you feel? Do you need anything? Do you want me to get Doctor Fang?" He shoot question after question at her, looking back at her as she gave a small giggle. "I'm fine, Quilly." She stated. He nodded and lowered his head, hiding the blush that creeped onto his cheeks as he thought about where to start.
"Claire, what the hell where you thinking? Do you realize how much panic you put everyone through! We thought you were dead or a damn leech had got you.." He started being cut off as Claire's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed." Leech?" Her question was so innocent and so quiet that he had almost slipped everything out to her but went with a different approach instead." Never mind, its not important. Just please answer the question.." He narrowed his eyes as Claire shook her head and pulled her knees to her chest." I dont want to talk about it Quil, can we save it for later?" She asked softly, hiding the tears that were fighting against her. Just on cue, Doctor fang came into the room and smiled at her, " Miss Young, it seems you've finally awaken. Your going to need to stay here a little longer so we can run a few more test but other then that, you can leave within a few days." He spoke directly to her without ever looking up to her. All she did was give a nod and looked towards me. " Oh and Quil, you should go home and rest. Eating would help get you better as well." He said before walking to the other side of the bed, next to Claire. Quil bit into his bottom lip so he wouldnt mutter the repile he had been thinking.
Claire slowly took his head and smiled at him, brushing her fingers over the bruised skin," You should go home for a while, you need to rest. I dont even want to know what you did to yourself.." She muttered under his breath and laid back down on the bed, her body falling into a deep sleep as she clung to my hand for dear life. " She has a point, Quil. Staying here, isnt helping your health." Carlisle spoke. Quil simply shook his head and sighed," I'm fine here, I'll go home when she does." He stood and sat on the couch on the side wall, resting his head on the arm rest." Quil, that wasnt a request. Now go home before I make Sam come in here and make him bring you there." The leech vampire spoke as he opened the door, looking over at him. Quil narrowed his eyes and stood again, shoving his hands into his pockets and making his way over to the door." Fine but if anything happens, call me to let me know." He muttered a repile before slipping out of the room and the hospital.
When he got home, Quil simply curlyed up on the couch and let his worry take him under.
