The City Of Astan

Louis

I nod and stay close, "I won't leave you."

Sam

I nod and close my eyes again, tasting blood.

Louis

I stay at her side while the ambulance speeds off to the hospital.

Sam

I swallow all the blood and take a deep breath, "Is it bad?"

Louis

I swallow and blink back tears, the ambulance pulling into the hospital, "No, Sam. You'll be fine."

Sam

I nod and they lift me out. I don't let go of Louis, everything slowly fading.

Louis

I don't let her go until she's wheeled into the O.R. and they won't allow me to go with. I stand there, watching, as they take her away. Hang in there, Sam. Please.

Sam

They don't let Louis to come with and my heart drops. They hook me up to stuff, and start on the gashes, my ankle, and my stomach. They numb me so I don't feel anything. I wake around three hours later, stitches in my stomach, but feel like I bled out. My ankle is bandages and so is my torso. I blink my eyes open, glancing around.

Louis

Three hours later, she's in her own room unconscious. I sit at her side and hold her hand, flashing a smile when she begins to wake. I don't say anything, waiting for her to see me.

Sam

I see Louis and I flash a weak smile, "Hey."

Louis

I flash a smile and kiss her forehead, setting an arm underneath her head, "Hey."

Sam

Feeling weak, I set a hand on my stomach, not even daring to move my ankle, "How are you?"

Louis

I flash a smile and sigh, "I'm good, Sam. How are you feeling?"

Sam

I sigh, "I'm okay. Feel weak," I sigh, "It sucks."

Louis

I nod and kiss her temple, "You'll be okay soon. This is just temporary."
