Re: Never Alone. (Shiori)

[ ikr? It’s so sad, but so freaking addicting Dx ]

“Eric!” Leah cried again, just before being forced back into the hospital bed, the IV reinserted into her arm. “Eric…” Leah muttered, laying down on the bed in defeat, staring up at the ceiling. Her loud, racking sobs ceased to small tears of hurt and silence. Her hands clenched into fists beside her, as she continued to stare dejectedly up at the ceiling. He was gone… He was gone forever, wasn’t he? More tears slid slowly down her cheeks when she recalled their kisses, especially the moment on the couch in the lounge of Mrs. Quinn’s icecream shop. It’d been the best day of her life, but had so quickly spiraled into the worst. Leah laid there and cried until her eyes found no more tears, her sullen heartbreak and tired eyes lulled her into a relatively dreamless sleep.

[ okeedokes, then. D; ]

[Spritz]

The florescent lights overhead made everything seem white, and Eric opened his eyes, blinking once. He hadn't been sleeping, but he had been thinking, and now he knew what was right to do. He knew he had started it, and had caused Leah all the pain in the world. That thought alone made his stomach twist inside him, and he raised his head from where it had been resting on his open palm. Pushing himself off the seat he stood, before unlocking the stall door and stepping out, his eyes slightly reddened with the tears that had fallen from them. Opening the door, he stepped out of the bathroom itself, and saw that it was already dark outside, as from one of the hallway windows.

(IKR! D:)

Leah couldn’t sleep for long, however. Her dreams consisted of Eric, and a longing clamped violently over her heart, making it impossible for her to sleep for more than five minutes. After about fifteen minutes of drifting in-and-out of sleep, Leah gave up. Eric was the only thing on her mind, and no matter how many times she tried to push him away, his face, bright and smiling, or tender and loving, right before a kiss, popped into her head. Without even knowing she said it, Leah mumbled, “I love you,” as she stared up at the ceiling.

[Spritz]

Eric was surprised to see so many people in the hospital. He hadn't figured that the halls would always have someone anxiously pacing down them, and didn't dare look at any of the faces of the people. His shoes slapped down onto the white polished floor, echoing slightly, and his hands were shoved deeply into his pockets, brain racing at a million miles an hour. His head pounded with a headache, and before he knew it, he had neared Leah's room. Slipping inside quietly, he just watched her with his dark eyes, afraid to speak.

[Guest]

Leah was faintly aware of somebody watching her, and she slowly let her eyes drop from the ceiling to the figure standing in the doorway. Once she recognized who it was, her eyes lit up. For the second time that night, Leah ripped the IV from her arm and got out of bed, momentarily slipping on her still-uneasy legs, before she threw her arms around him. “Please don’t leave me ever again,” she whispered. Feeling the need to say it, Leah added, “I-I love you. Please don’t go.” Leah buried her head against the fabric on his shoulder.

[Spritz]

Eric reached forward, as if to stop her as she ripped the IV from her arm, wincing slightly. Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, she stood, almost falling as her legs weren't ready to support her weight, and she slipped on the floor as she made her way towards him. Eric's heart leaped at the sight of her, and he caught her slightly as she fell into him, wrapping her arms tightly around him, trying to be sure he wouldn't leave her again. Her whisper's were full of emotion that wasn't usually seen, and as she stated that she loved him, loved him, Eric realized his leaving had meant much more to her than it had to him. He gently took his arms and placed them around her waist, hugging her to him and closing his eyes, nodding while he rocked them back and forth gently. "I-" His voice broke suddenly, "Leah, I love you."

[Guest]

Leah didn’t mind the silence that hung in the air for a moment. Not long after, however, his arms encircled her waist, pulling them closer together, as if another unspoken promise had been made. When Leah heard him say he loved her, too, her heart felt like it was flying. She wrapped her arms tighter around him, standing up straighter and planting a kiss gently on his lips, before withdrawing and looking into his eyes with a new light.

[Spritz]

Eric's eyes were slightly troubled. That was it, wasn't it! The feelings that had coarsed through his veins, every time they were seperate, ever time they weren't near, or holding eachother. The expression on Leah's face when she heard his words was priceless, making Eric's own heart throb with the feelings that persisted whenever she was around. He smiled gently as she leaned up and kissed him, before scooping her up in his arms and carrying her back to the bed, bride style.

[Guest]

Leah smiled back at him, feeling happier than she had in a while. All thoughts of Mike and the cuts and bruises and bandages that covered her body left her, making her feel like she was brand new. Sure, she might have souvenirs from that time, but Leah knew she had Eric now. She wrapped her arms around his neck when he picked her up and carried her back over to the bed. She didn’t really know what to do now, so instead of letting him go, she pulled him playfully back down and kissed him once more before finally deciding to let go.

[Spritz]

Eric let a small smile touch his lips as she tugged him down, kissing him slightly, before letting him go. Eric stood and gestured to a nurse that had just walked by, and she soon came in, Eric having to explain that Leah had fallen out of bed, thus her IV had been ripped out. Creative, sure. As soon as the IV was back into place, and the nurse had gone, closing the door, Eric slipped onto the bed beside Leah, as she had done to him when he was in the hospital. He had even found it comforting, and now smiled gently at her. "You can rest now Leah."

[Guest]

Leah smiled back at Eric, glad to see that he was at least smiling again, despite the fact he had very little to be smiling about. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Eric’s excuse for the IV coming out (for the second time in half an hour), happy when he slipped into the bed beside her. It brought back the happy memories of when she’d visited him in the hospital. She turned on her side slightly, so they were in more of a spooning position, which better fitted them both on the small hospital bed.

[Spritz]

As Leah shifted slightly, Eric draped an arm lightly around her waist, not trying to do anything but let her know that he was there. He laid his head back onto the pillow, his chest pressed slightly against her back. He then realized how bad they both needed to shower, with blood and scabs and the like, and wrinkled his nose as he realized his hair was slightly matted with blood. Lovely, and poor Leah was a mess.

[Guest]

Leah smiled, feeling safer than she had in what seemed like forever. She was happy, as her eyes closed gently, taking his advice on resting. All of her rests had been disturbed or could not be considered “rests” at all. Leah yawned and murmured, “Do you know when they’re letting me out of here?”

[Spritz]

Eric took in a deep breath, and shook his head, exhaling. "I dont know, when you get to the point you wont need the IV and you'll be fine on your own." He leaned in close and gently whispered near her ear, knowing his breath would tickle her slightly. "Not that you'll be alone." He whispered, a grin breaking out on his face, before he settled back slightly, a corky expression on his face.

[Guest]

Leah smiled and reached her arm over, poking his shoulder gently. She chuckled at his comment, an involuntary shiver running down her spine. “That’s good,” she whispered, snuggling herself closer to him, enjoying the feel of his warmth. “I missed this.” She murmured, a smile spread across her lips.

[Spritz]

(:'( I think I'm going to cry, if and when they have to leave eachother!!!)

Eric let a small smile touch his split, dry lips, and felt her shiver slightly, making his smile grow even wider. She pushed in closer to him, and Eric wrapped his arms around her, hoping she felt like she was safe in his arms, with him...Though he had let her down last time, with Mike. The thought made him stiffen slightly, and he shook his head. Now was not the time to think of that. He couldn't think of that. There was to much pain and heartbreak in that thought, that he made himself think of something else, instead.

[Guest]

[ Dx I know me too, this is so sad/emotional/romantic!!! ]

Leah took in a deep breath of air, centering and relaxing her. She felt him stiffen a bit, but she didn’t think much of it when he released the tension a few minutes later. She closed her eyes; her thoughts filled with thoughts of them, growing old together, little ones running playfully around their feet. Leah didn’t care that the thoughts were completely bogus; all she cared about was that she had Eric, and he said he’d be hers forever. Suddenly, she whispered, “I don’t want to be here anymore…”

[Spritz]

Eric's head was lying near hers, and he heard her whisper softly. He nodded, and leaned over and above her, giving her a slight smile, and brushing back the hair from her eyes. "I know. You'll be out as soon as possible. Mrs.Quinn is on her way, she called me before and told me so." The woman had had to go to the police office, and it had been a long night for her. But now Eric knew that Mike would probably be behind bars, and wouldn't be able to hurt them ever again. He leaned down and kissed the base of her neck, before settling back down beside her.

[Guest]

Leah opened her eyes when he shifted and looked up at him, smiling gently. “That’s good. I don’t like hospital clothes,” she jested. “They’re very unbecoming.” She reached up and ran her fingertips over his jaw before dropping her hand gently. Leah smiled gently when she felt his lips on the base of her neck before settling down beside her, and she curled up into him, closing her eyes once more. “I love you,” she murmured softly.

[Spritz]

Eric smiled as she talked about Hospital gown's, and nodded, a humored smile on his lips. "I love you too, Leah." Closing his eyes, he listened to the steady beeping of the heart moniter, taking her hand in his, and feeling her pulse match the beat's on the machine. How was this possible, to grow so close to someone. To connect with them in so many different ways, hating it when you were apart. His heart gave a pang of emotion as he thought about it, and he couldn't resist pushing himself up, and leaning down to kiss her once again.

[Guest]

Leah swore she could feel the good-humor radiating from the pair of them, and she felt him shift yet again, and she looked up, smiling when he kissed her yet again. Leah raised her arms gently and pulled him closer, putting her lips on his. Her heartbeat accelerated, showing on the beeping of the heart monitor.

[Spritz]

Eric faintly heard Leah's heartbeat accelerating as he kissed her, and he let a small smile touch his lips. He moved in closer as he felt her arms around his neck, and slowly let his tounge run across her bottom lip, before pulling away, shaking his head. "You need to rest."

[Guest]

Leah whimpered when he pulled away, just after he’d run his tongue over her bottom lip, sending shivers down her spine. She looked up at him and frowned, “I love how you do that, and then tell me I need rest?” Leah chuckled and settled back down, dropping her arms back onto her side, “Go call Mrs. Quinn and tell her to come faster.” Leah yawned and closed her eyes.

[Spritz]

Eric couldn't help but let a small, quirky grin play across his lips as Leah spoke, and he just raised an eyebrow, shrugging. "Well you need to rest, and I'm going to let you now." He moved back down, so he was lying behind her. His phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket, and he dug it out, answering it. "Mrs.Quinn?"

[Guest]

Leah frowned and yawned once more, rubbing her tired eyes gently. She didn’t know what else to do besides fall asleep, considering Eric wasn’t about to give her another make-out session, given the current state she was in. She curled up into a tighter ball, allowing herself to relax. She ignored when Eric picked up the phone and it was Mrs. Quinn, though she was inwardly happy. “Tell Mrs. Quinn I said hi,” Leah muttered.
