Through Thick and Thin

I looked up at him, tear stained face looking straight at me, he meant every fucking word and I could tell that, and I loved him so much, fuck so much it hurts, I looked to the monitor and laughed when I saw my heart rate, fucking skyrocketed, I looked back at him and grabbed his outstretched hand bringing him closer to me,

“Yes.”

I uttered the word,

“For real?”

I nodded, smiling at him as he leant forward claiming my lips in his own in a short and sweet kiss, before the door opened and in came Frankie and a doctor.

“Nice to see you awake Miss Iero, how are you feeling?”

“A little rough I suppose, could do with some water though my throat is kinda killing me.”

“I guess we can get you that”

The doc replied with a light chuckle before walking out and returning with a small plastic cup filled with some water,

“We’re going to do a few tests and then see if we can get you up and out of here, I’ll be back shortly.”

I smiled and said thank you before turning to look at my brother the smile being knocked from my face as soon as I saw the tear tracks, I could almost feel tears of my own start,

“I’m sorry Frankie.”

I felt myself being wrapped up in his arms as I buried my face in his chest sobbing, I should have known how stupid I was being, did I expect him not to care if I was gone? I don’t know what he would have done if I hadn’t woken up,

“Just please sweetie promise me that whatever happens you wont ever think about or do it again please.”

I nodded because I couldn’t stop my self from crying thus losing the ability to form words and continued to soak my brothers jumper in salty tears.

“If you need someone to talk to just ring me, hit me, or do what ever and talk to me, the only thing I don’t wanna hear about is yours and Haners sex lives ok?”

I felt myself smile and look up at Bri, who’s lips were forming a smirk,

“Yeah but we all know people like to share,”

My brothers eyes widened and I chuckled,

“Ok I promise, no sex talk.”

His eyes went back to normal as he used his sleeve to wipe away my tears, I lifted my hand to stop him and saw his eyes zone in on my finger before looking directly into my eyes,

“I love him Frankie, I really do.”

He let a small smile form on his face before releasing me from his arms and walking up to Bri,

“You hurt her and I mean it when I say you wont even make it to the hospital, straight to the morgue you’ll go.”

After watching Brian visibly gulp, and reply back he walked out the room leaving me and Bri alone, I swung my legs out to the side and shifted my weight so I could get out of the bed I had been in for so long. I let a small groan escape my lips as my feet made contact with the ground and my legs started to walk over to him, Brian, my boyfriend, no scratch that, my fiancé, I felt my lips curl into a massive smile before a threw my arms around his neck pulling him down to my lips.

“That threat comes from both of us,”

I pulled his lips down to my own, feeling the softness against my dry, cracked ones, moving in sync life became whole again, I had no reasons to doubt myself, no reasons to want to die, I was happy right here in the arms of the man who stole my heart before ripping it to pieces, he had put it back together but taken a piece, a piece that I hoped he would keep forever in his own heart.
