After hours of sitting in the doctors office, we found out all of his injuries were external. He apologized the whole way back to the school for making me waste my day sitting in a doctor's office. I held his hand and told him it was fine. I walked him back to his dorm.
"Why do I feel like such a girl right now?" He asked looking around at the boys that passed us.
"Because the wind just blew your skirt up a little." I laughed. He jokingly pushed me before realizing he pushed a girl.
"I'm sorry. Listen I wanted to talk to you about what you said in the infirmary." My face turned really hot and I knew I was red. He was too busy looking at the ground to notice.
"Okay." I said cautiously.
Why did you tell Nurse McRae I was your boyfriend?" He slightly glanced at me. But the half a second that our eyes met was magic.
"Well I figured since you got jumped because of me I should be there for you." I said rubbing his arm. He looked into my eyes.
"You are so beautiful, I am so happy you came here. Oh and who is Ben?" He asked.
"How do you know about Ben?" I asked.
"When the prefect told you to leave me you said 'that's what Ben did'. Who is that?" I stepped back. I forgot I said it.
"Ben is my brother, the one that made it. He ran over as my oldest brother went down. He told Ben to help Tim, my youngest brother. But instead the guys looked at him and he ran away like a bitch. He tried to play it off like he wasn't even there. Finally after a few months of therapy he told us. It broke my heart to know he left both of them there to just die. I would have died for them if it was me." I began to sob so hard I collapsed to the ground. "I am so sorry that you are stuck listening to my problems." He knelt down next to me despite his pain and rubbed my back.
"I'm just happy that you trust me enough to open up like this. I care about you Sapphira." He said sincerely. I hugged his arm and kept crying. "Please can we hang out, like not here? Go on date or something?" He sat on the ground next to me. I looked at him with my tear stained eyes. He brought his hand up and wiped my face dry. "Please." As sad as I was I smiled and kissed his lips.
