I'll Always Love You

Darling You'll Be Okay

-Monday Vic's POV-

Everyone was sitting in their usual spots at the cafeteria table. We all pretty much finished our lunch and I was sitting in Jaime's lap messing with his spiky hair that was surprisingly soft. I forced myself to eat more than usual since Jaime always makes face when I hardly eat. I couldn't help but think about how just a little over a month ago I had deemed him as a heartless asshole and now he's one of the sweetest people I know. I smiled to myself and kissed the side of his head, in response he tightened his arms around me as he talked to Ben about some Syfy movie I had never heard of. I was over hearing Andy talking to Oliver about starting a band.., they were getting so serious about it. I laughed a little to myself at their crazy ideas. "we should all go surfing someday" Jaime spoke up getting everyone's attention. "it looks pretty difficult though. Might get eaten by a shark" I said, not to sure about the idea. "I heard its just like skateboarding" He said in reply "My Granddad has a bunch of surfboards from his youth, I bet we could use them" Ben said and Danny nodded in agreement. I chewed my lips at the thought of getting that far away from the shore. Suddenly Danny began singing a jingle about surfing making Ben's face scrunch up in annoyance. Andy soon joined him "Don't encourage him!" Ben said raising his voice and soon Matt joined in as well and Oliver began laughing at Ben's betrayed expression. Me and Jaime began singing along and swayed back forth. eventually the whole table was singing Danny's jingle and even Ben gave in and sang with us. Moments like these make me forget about all the troubles I face in life, and for that I will always cherish them.

Me and Jaime stood on the sidewalk next to the school waiting for my bus to arrive. He had his arms wrapped around me as I buried my face into his chest "I'm going to miss you" I said, muffled by his Tshirt. We couldn't hang out after school today like we normally do. Jaime promised his mom he would help her this entire week to prepare for some reunion at their house this weekend. apparently he has a massive family. "I'm sorry we can't do anything after school but I'll call you tonight if that's okay" he said while rubbing my back gently. "Yeah that's fine" I lifted my head to give him one last kiss before the bus pulled up. like always our kisses were tender and full of love, making my heart skip a beat. A smile grew on his face showing off his dimples and I couldn't help but smile to. "I'll see you tomorrow" I said before walking off to get on the bus, taking my seat next to Kellin. "you guys really need to get a room" Kellin said before I even sat down. "Its not that bad" I said, still smiling like an idiot. Kellin rolled his eyes and refused to talk to me the entire ride home. I couldn't understand why he was treating me this way but now that its happening so often I'm getting used to it, and that's hurting our friendship.

when I got home I noticed my Dad was still at work, which is a huge relief. Mike and Tony were skateboarding in the street with a few other kids I assume are from their school. I laughed at how bad they were but just before I walked through the door, something caught my eye, Mike and Tony were holding hands. I stood there holding the door open with a dumbfounded expression watching the two of them. only then did I notice the way they looked at each other, and here I thought they were simply best friends. I felt a huge smile spread across my face at how cute this was and how I would have never guessed they had a thing for each other. I finally stepped inside, still smiling. "what are you so happy about?" my Mom asked from the couch "have you seen Mike and Tony?" I asked raising my voice a bit unable to contain my excitement. "You're just now figuring that one out?" she said as if this entire time it was painfully obvious they were into each other. my mouth slightly dropped open "how long has this been going?" I asked feeling rather stupid. she just laughed at my slowness "for quite some time now, honey" of course. "Oh my god" Was my response before sulking my way up the stairs. I can't believe I was so blind this whole time. I fell onto my bed, pulling out my phone to check any messages I got but there was none. eventually I fell a sleep but was abruptly awakened by my door slamming wide open with a very angry man on the other side. I can't believe I forgot to lock it.

I blinked a few times, letting my eyes adjust to the bright lighting. I was in a hospital room and have no idea why. "Mom?" I said frantically looking around the white room. My arm was connected to an IV so I couldn't leave the bed. I looked down noticing my arms, The shirt I was wearing was short sleeved revealing all the scars I brought upon myself. My heart beat slowly increased at the sight and thought of Mike or my Mom seeing this. There was a soft knock on the door just before it began opening slowly, revealing a nurse dressed in light blue scrubs. "Oh you're awake" she said smiling kindly "how are you feeling Mr. Fuentes?" she asked, checking a few of the monitors on the wall above my head. Self consciously I hid my arms under the thin blanket over my legs "Fine..." I trailed off "what happened? and wheres my Mom?" I asked in a low voice and felt my eyes sting from tears that threatened to pour down on my face. "Your mother is outside in the waiting room, I'll let her in so she can explain what happened" the woman said before escaping through the door. I took a deep breath and began wondering what day it was and where the hell my phone is. The door slowly began opening again, taking me away from any thought process I had going on. My Mom stepped through with teary eyes and walked over to hold me in her arms tightly. I breathed in her scent and let the tears flow from my eyes "what happened?" I asked, not remembering a thing after my Dad entered my room. "Its all over now, he's been committed to the county jail" she said. my eyes widened "what happened?" I repeated, still trying to get an answer. she pulled away and sat down next to me on the bed. I flinched as she slowly took my hands out from under the blanket to hold them tightly in hers. "He almost killed you last night" she finally said and now she was crying to. my heart sank. "how?" I pressed. she took in a deep breath before speaking. "after you lost consciousness he pulled a gun, Vic I have no idea where he got a gun from" she cried even harder. "what happened after that?" I was still so confused. "Micheal was able to get the gun away from him after he had already called the police" I blinked a few times "Mike? How the hell did he do that? is he hurt?" Mike was tall but he was so lanky.. there's no way he can take on our Dad. "No he's fine.., He's in the waiting room actually, with Jaime" My heart picked up pace at Jaime's name and I became painfully aware of my reveled arms. "has Jaime been in here?..." I chewed my bottom lip from nervousness "No, only I could come in til you woke up" I was a little relieved at the news "how did he found out?" I squinted my eyes in confusion. "He came by the house while Micheal and Kellin were getting a few of your things. He was really worried that you didn't show up at school or answer your phone" My eyes widened again "Kellin's here to?" I tried not to raise my voice but everything is just so unexpected. "He was but left not to long ago, him and Jaime don't seem to get along" a small smile grew on her lips but I couldn't figure out why. I shook my head, so much is going on and so suddenly. "I'll let you talk to Jaime, okay?" she said before kissing my forehead and walking out of the room. I took a deep breath and hid my arms back under the blanket.

I had a lot of explaining to do... and for some reason I wasn't surprised at all by the events of last night.

-Jaime's POV-

It was pure torture waiting to know if my boyfriend was okay. I was shaking my leg from nerves and rested my chin against my knuckles. my mind played back to when me and Kellin were alone in the elevator, he was being so cold to me.

-"why are you even here" Kellin asked getting my full attention, this was the first time he has ever spoken to me. "why wouldn't I be here? Vic's hurt in the hospital and he's my boyfriend so I have to be here for him" Kellin gave a sarcastic laugh. the doors opened but before he exited he said "its not like you guys will last much longer" -

I could have punched him right then and there but it would have done no good. He is obviously a jealous fuck and I'm not sure why Vic still hangs out with him. I shook my head and tried not to focus on anything negative. soon Vic's mom came back from seeing him, I looked up at her with hopeful eyes "is he okay?" I asked, not able to hold it in anymore "Yes he's fine. He wants to see you" She smiled her sweet smile and sat down next to Vic's brother.

I followed a nurse down this wide hallway until we reached a door that had the number 20 next to it.
I ran my hand across my hair nervously before stepping inside his room. It was pretty bright and had no window. I saw Vic sitting on the hospital bed staring down at the blanket. there were five monitors on the wall above the bed and I had no idea what they all were for.

I was relieved to see he looked okay. His long brown hair was messy but in a cute way and I couldn't take my eyes off him. finally though I closed the door and his head snapped up at the click it made "Jaime" he said in a soft voice and instantly I went to his side, bringing him into a tight embrace. Right now I didn't want to talk, I just wanted to hold him, feel his hair against my face and the soft thumping of his heart in his chest. I felt his tears soak through my shirt so I lifted him enough off the bed to slide on and put him on my lap. He cuddled up against my chest and sobbed softly as I rested my head on his.

"Darling you'll be okay" I said in a low voice before pressing my lips to his tear stained cheek.
