Let Me Be The One To Save You

Venus P.O.V

I open my left eye, trying to focus. There was slight snoring on my left. I tried to turn towards it. But my neck hurt and my head was throbbing. I cried out in pain.
"Vee?" Gerard came into view, blocking out the ceiling. "I'm here, baby." He places a soft kiss on my left cheek. The only place not in pain.
I reach up my left hand to cup his cheek. He grabs my hand and kisses my knuckles. I try to speak but my jaw and stomach hurts. I try again. "What's....t..the dam...age?" I manage.
"You really want to know, baby?" He asks with concern.
I slowly move my head to nod.
"Okay, baby." He sighs. "The ones noticeable are a swolen eye, broken right arm, a cut along your right cheek and a split lip. The doctor said they won't scar. The injuries not noticeable are bruising to your legs and stomach and your back. Apart from that there's several little scratches in various places. Your head had a cut too. But it wasn't too bad."
My stomach knots up. I close my eye briefly. Then I look back at him. "W....wedding..."
He smiles. "It's okay, sweetheart." He soothes. "We can put it off till you think your well enough."
I try to smile back, but it hurts too much. "I l...love y...you."
He kisses my hand. "I love you too, baby." He grins. "Doctors said you can go home in a couple of days. They want to make sure your okay first."

Gerard's P.O.V

Venus goes back to sleep after that. I watch her for a while, then my phone rings so I leave the room to answer it.
Me: "Gerard Way."
Caller: "Hello, Mr Way. I am Sargent Porter of the Chicago police department."
Me: "Hello Sargent. How may I help you?"
Porter: "It seems your appeal for witnesses and information may have been fruitful."
Me: "That's great."
Porter: "We sorted through all the information we were given and now have several leads to follow. We should have the attacker's in custody in no time. Thanks to your quick thinking."
Me: "The sooner the better."
Porter: "I will keep you informed as the investigation progresses."
Me: "Thank you."
Porter: "I must go now, Mr Way. Thank you for your help. Goodbye."
The line goes dead and I smile. I hope they do catch them. We'll soon see.
