The lights glimmered upon the fallen rain, puddles rippling as the
watter hit. The sky looked like a backlit, dark canopy with holes through
it. Everything was so busy, so clueless to the unexpected turns lives could
take. Gordo couldnt make his mind still. How could everyone get along with
their lives while Lizze...his Lizzie was lying in a huge hospital bed with
tubs running from her, people prodding and poking her.
He ran a hand through his tangled curls as he turned to take the seat by her bed. Promising he would look after her, they left home to change, shower and catch a little rest since Jo was so rattled. After she awoke again he had to hit the call button and then relive that horrible night. They said they hated to put her through the emotional turmoil but they needed the information as soon as they could get it. It was as if she had subconsiously read his mind as his eyes were set on her small, frail fingers placed gentely in his much bigger ones. The tiny fingers twitched, they tried to grasp what they were unknowingly holding, the small frame in the huge bed stirred. Her head, appearing to be very heavy, lifted and turned to face him and then, ever so slowly, a pair of hazel eyes parted, gazing acorss his face as if trying to mesmorise every line, every curve and every feature to imprint it within her mind.
While regaining from shock, he pressed the call button frantically. She couldnt force the words passed the barricade in her throat but she didnt need too speak. As their vision entertwined, he seen her soul slowly trying to peice itself together, picking up the peices which were scattered inside of her shaken existance. Some of them might have been missing but the picture which she was attempting to create was clear. Everything would be okay...she didnt want to give up.
She wanted life.

After she was sat up better, cleaned up a little more and trying to regain composure for what was about to be brought to them, they told Gordo he could go back inside the room when she was done. Right when he entered that room, seeing Lizzie with expression, her hair tied up in a loose, curly messy bun and washing her face, he knew nomatter in what condition she was in, she would be the most beautifullest thing hes ever seen. She litterally took his breath away.
" Uh..." Gordo tried to find his voice, " they called your parents, they should be here soon. They just went home to change and all.." He really didnt know what to say. What do you say to the person you love after they go through the most horrible experiance in their life?
" Th..thanks..." She whimpered, holding back tears. Everything was flooding back to her, and she was trying to rise above so she wouldnt be mentally overcame but the damn had broke.
"...Gordo..." Was all she could manage, and thats all it took for him to be right there.
He rushed to her side and wrapped his arms around her as gentley as possible, afraid to hurt her but she pushed herself into his chest and let loose all that had built up. Her hands made tight fists as it grabbed the hem of his shirt, as if afraid if she let him go, he would pull away.
" Shh...shh baby, its okay. Nothing will ever happen to you again, I promise." He whispered softly in her ear as they rocked eachother.
She slightly relaxed in Gordos embrace as she finally, for the first time in weeks, felt safe and loved.
" H-he touched me and h-his hands! I cant get them off of me! I feel them everywhere!" More tears fell as she was taken back into the past when she was so desperately trying to move forward.
" Im so sorry for what I told you. I should have understood but I just didnt trust him with you. Im so so sorry, please forgive me." He pleaded as he remembered what he had said to her that night...until now he didnt remember because he was so worried he would never even talk to her again.
Her head nodded against his chest as he stroked her hair, closing his eyes as he held her. He couldnt get over it. She was here. With Him. Safe.
" Ms. Mcguire, When your parents arrive we need to sit down and discuss. Im sure you understand..." The new presense came and went unnoticed as she left.
A/N: Sorry if this seems kind of dull, I am trying to work up to everything and I know the chapters are kind of short but they all need to contain a certain event or so for the story to work. Thanks for reading! ~Jess
