Someone Out There Loves You
Chapter 7
Tammy's POV
When I opened my eyes the room was white. I was in a bed. I thought I was dead. I should be dead. Because of him. Because of Rick...
Then my memories flooded back to me. The ones of Gerard and I almost having sex, the one where Gerard asked me out, when I fell asleep on his chest, when he woke me up by kissing me. Then the one's of Rick. The memories of last night, or what I think was last night. When he slapped me, when he hit me, when he cut me, when he forced his way inside of me, when he made me feel weak. Like I was nothing more then a sex toy to him, when he made me betray my boyfriend.
All of these memories came back at the same time, like within the same second. I shot up in my bed and gasped. I was hooked up to a bunch of wires, and when I shot up they all started to go crazy.
Then I saw Gerard. He rushed over to me and grabbed my hand. His lips started to move, like he was trying to tell me something, but I couldn't hear him. All I could hear was my heartbeat and my crazed breathing. My heart was beating so fast I thought it was gonna explode right out of my chest, and it hurt like a bitch, I clutched my heard and let out a yelp in pain. I saw Gerard turn around, he must have called some nurses cause 3 came rushing in.
One of them forcible remove Gerard away from me, the other 2 pushed me against the bed and put something over my mouth and nose. The air felt heavy after that and I could feel myself losing consciousnesses again. Within seconds I blacked out.
********
The next time I woke up, I could hear. I heard Frankie and Gerard in my room talking.
"No its not." Frankie said putting his hands on Gerard shoulder.
"I left her. I left her. And then he came. And now she's here, and you saw what happened yesterday."
Yesterday? How long have I been here? How long have I been out?
"Gerard, she's not gonna blame you, if anything she'd blame me, I told her I would never leave her side and I did, then he came for her."
"You left her with me, then I left her alone. God, I have loved her for 4 years, and I just got her, and now I'm gonna lose her. If she has anyone to blame, it's me."
"Or me." I said speaking up. Both of them shot there eyes to me and rushed to either side of me.
"Are you okay?" Then both asked.
"I'm fine, how long have I been out?"
"Almost 2 days."
"So it's Friday, my mom comes back on Sunday, oh god did you tell her?"
"No we didn't, but Tammy she is gonna find out sooner or later." Frankie said,
"No she wont, I could use makeup."
"Tammy, makeup isn't gonna fix it all," God I dint even wanna look at myself. "Plus the doctor bill still needs to be paid." Frankie said.
"Can we just say I fell down the stairs, please." I said giving them a pleading look. They looked at each other and sighed.
"Okay." Frankie said, "I'll tell the doctor to call your mom and what to tell her. Love you." Then he walked out leaving Gerard and I alone.
Gerard was holding my hand, but he wasn't looking at me, he was looking at our hands.
"Gerard?" I asked but he didn't look up, "Gee?" He looked up when I called him that.
His face made me wanna cry. His cheeks and nose were red, his eyes were bloodshot from crying. The only reason I knew it was crying, because his eyes were still full of tears and they were spilling over, he opened his mouth to speak but he got caught by something in his throat.
Just seeing him like that made me wanna cry.
"Gee..." I said with tears spilling down my cheeks, "Come here." I said pulling him on the bed and curling up to him like I did the 1st night we were together.
"I'm sorry." He said. "I must look so stupid right now, your the one who went through.... that.... and I'm here crying. I'm sorry."
"I'm kinda glad your crying, that means you really care about me, maybe even love me."
"I do love you from the bottom of my heart." Then he kissed my lips.
"So what happened?"
"What's the last thing you remember?"
"I think it was you, you said 'stay with me' then I blacked out."
"Well, you were bleeding pretty badly so I pressed your sheets to your wrist, to try and stop the bleeding," I looked down at my wrist to see them covered in a white bandage." Or at least slow it down, I kinda ruined your sheets sorry, then the police came in. They took Rick away. then the ambulance came in and took you here and yeah."
"What happened to Rick?"
"There was enough evidence to put him in jail for 10 years, and then when Frank told them he had done that before to you, there putting him in prison for 15 years."
"Good." I said then snuggled into his chest and closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I was in the same room and still with Gee, in the same position. He was awake, looking down on me.
"Hey sleeping beauty." He greeted.
"Hey." I said smiling up at him, "So when can I leave?"
"Um, two hours ago."
"What?"
"You already been discharged, no one wanted to wake you though. Frank just got here with some of your clothes." Gerard said.
"Yup. Here you go." Frankie said with a bag of my clothes. "I'm gonna pull the car around, you two can do your thing." Then he backed out of the room.
"Do you need help getting dressed or....." He trailed off.
"I can manage." Then I got dressed by myself, but Gee stayed in the room with me.
When I was done, Gee helped me to my feet and we started to walk out. It was hard for me to keep up with Gee because my body hurt. He noticed and picked me up bride style and carried me to the parking lot. Frankie wasn't out yet so we waited for him.
"Did my mom buy it?" I asked making conversation.
"Frank talked to her, he said she felt bad and wanted to be here with you, but she needed to stay another week. She sends her love, so yeah she bought it." He said smiling.
He wasn't looking at me, he was smiling in the distance. God he was so attractive, I bit my lip and stared at him. He was mine, this amazing, and caring guy was all mine. The thought alone made me giggle. He turned to look at me, he raised one eyebrow and gave me a confused smile.
"What?" He asked.
It just made me laugh more.
"Do I have dirt or something on me?" He asked laughing.
"No," I said, "Your just so perfect."
"Why thank you my lady." He said bowing his head, "But that's making you laugh because....?"
"Because your all mine."
"As are you." Then he kissed me.
At that moment Frankie pulled in front of us. Gee somehow managed to open the door and carry me at the same time, when we got in, he didn't set me down. He sat down with me on top of him. The drive there was silent, when we got to my house, my feet still didn't touch the ground, he carried me to the sofa and set me down and put a blanket on me.
"Okay serious question." Gee said. "What color do you want your room?"
"Excuse me?"
"We figured your not gonna really..... care, for your room, so Gerard and I are gonna redo it. Starting with the paint. So again what color?"
I stared at them dumb founded.
"Come on, don't make me choose, barf green, cause I will." Frankie warned.
"You guys don't have to."
"Yes we do, now what color?" Gee asked.
"Uh... Light mocha."
"You got that Frank?" Gee asked over his shoulder
"On it." Frankie said as he left my house.
"I love you." I said, when he heard that, his eyes lit up.
"I love you too."
