Chapter 11
Bruce's P.O.V.
I woke up to the sound of an annoying ringing sound. I suddenly realized it was my cell phone and leaped up running to get it on my dresser.
"Hello?"
"Bruce, it's Logan."
"What it is? Is Riley okay?"
"You gotta get down here."
"Is something wrong?"
"No, Bruce… She's waking up man."
"I'm on my way," I hung up my phone and ran to my closet to change into some jeans and put on some shoes, I then ran out the door and to the car. I raced to the hospital (thankfully it was to early in the mourning for any cops in Gotham to be caring about speeders, they had bigger worries during the dark hours, especially since Batman had not been seen in around a week).
I ran in the hospital and into the elevator, which was going slower than ever of course. The second the doors opened I ran out and down the hall to Riley's room.
I opened the door and bust in.
The doctor was standing on one side of her bed; Alfred and Logan were on the other side.
I then looked to Riley, she looked exactly the same but then… she opened her eyes slowly. I rushed to her side.
"Bruce…" she rasped.
"Riley," I took her hand in mine and ran my other hand through her hand.
The doctor, Alfred, and Logan all smiled and went out of the room.
I kissed Riley. I had never been so happy in my entire life.
"I thought I'd lost you," I whispered.
Riley's P.O.V.
"I could never leave you," I smiled. I looked closely at him, was he crying? "Bruce, are you crying?"
"A little," he laughed, "I… I… love you so much."
I laughed a little, "I love you."
"You have no idea how good it feels to hear you say that…"
"Bruce, are you okay? They said we were in an accident and that I've been in a coma for over a week—"
"I'm fine. I'm just glad you're okay."
"You're to sweet."
"I'm nothing compared to you."
"Logan told me how you wouldn't leave me, he said that you finally left last night. I was so scared when you weren't here, that's when they told me about the accident, then I thought you were dead cause Logan hadn't told me about you and—"
"Shhhhhh," he said sitting beside me holding me close, "It's okay, I'm here now. I'll never leave you again, never. I would die for you."
"I… Bruce I don't want to ever leave you… I want to grow old with you and have a family with you and I just… I can't imagine my life continuing without you."
"I feel the same way about you."
"You do?"
"Of course."
"But Bruce, I'm not perfect, I don't deserve you. You can have any woman in Gotham, why me?"
"Because I don't want any woman in Gotham… I want you…" he said kissing me again.
I know it's short but I really wanted to get this part in and I didn't want to forget it lol Hope you enjoy it.
