Author's Note: Here it is! I wish I could have done this sooner, but life happens.
All I could remember before I fainted was Eli pulling the knife from his side, and quickly putting pressure on the wound. There was so much blood, and Eli looked so pale, that I got sick to my stomach. My vision got hazy, and then, everything was black.
I must have hit my head on the way down, because I woke up in a hospital bed. My head was throbbing, and when I reached up, I felt a bandage around my forehead. I felt horrible, but all I cared about right then was Eli. Was he alright? Before I could call for one, a nurse walked into my room. "You took quite a fall in that hallway, busted your head. Don't worry a few stiches and your back to normal. I'm sorry about your dress though, there was so much blood on it, so we had to get rid of it." How did blood get on my dress? Eli must have been holding me after I fell. Even after he had been stabbed, Eli cared enough about me to walk through his pain and hold me when I had only fainted. It was then that I realized that I loved Elijah Goldsworthy with all my heart.
"Excuse me, miss, could you tell me what happened to Elijah Goldsworthy?" The nurse turned to look at me. "Well, kid, he definitely likes you. When the paramedics got to the school, they could barely pry him off you. He had already lost so much blood, he was about to lose consciousness." I gasped. He could have died. "Is he…um alright?" The nurse looked at the floor. "Like I said, he had already lost so much blood, we were lucky we got to him when we did. He's still out, but since you'll be out of here soon, you can see him by tomorrow." I let out the breath I had been holding in. Eli was still alive, and I could see him soon. Suddenly, things were starting to look up.
