Chapter 19: Stay With Me
Error POV
It's been a week. I somehow was fine. Just a lot more clingy to Ink than I already was. I mean, I could barely process what'd happened.
Ink was still recovering in the hospital but said that I should go home.
I refused to go home without her. She didn't argue much. I think she was secretly scared. But she looked so... emotionless.
Except for when I held her or hugged her or even just put my hand on hers. She was happy when she knew for sure I was here.
So I didn't leave her.
I stayed. She wouldn't let anyone else touch her. Or even go near her. And she watched like a hawk if they touched or went near me.
Zephyr even came to visit. He apologized for everything but Ink wasn't having it.
"We're orphans now Y'know." She said.
"As far as I'm concerned we always were." He replied.
Ink asked him to leave. He did.
She started crying. I hugged her. She held my hand and didn't let me go.
"I don't like this... I-I don't like putting you in danger. Maybe you should just... find someone who won't." She said.
"Don't you dare ever say that again." I said. "That was not your fault. And I don't think I could ever love anyone like I love you."
She just sighed and smiled.
"I love you to." She said.
Ink POV
I can't believe I just suggested that. What if he thinks I don't love him anymore? What if he hates me!?
I kissed him. He kissed back.
"Can you two not do this in the hospital?" Geno asked.
"What? Kiss?"
"No... the other-"
Error blushed a lot and jut held onto me for dear life.
"You can hear it?"
"Yeah, you two are really loud. And we're insomniacs." Reaper said.
I blankly looked at them.
"So, how do you two feel today?" Geno asked as Fresh walked in.
"Well I feel fine. I don't know about Ink..." Error said.
I shrugged.
Fresh gave me my sketchbook and pencils.
"Thanks kid." I said.
They stayed for a while. Error talked with them. For me it was loud. Really... really loud. I thought about hurting someone. Myself.
Yes. Thy would make me feel alive again. I bit one of my fingers until it bled.
My blood tasted like copper. The crimson red liquid slowly starting to run down my hand.
Error freaked out and cleaned the bite mark and the blood. A nurse put a bandage around my hand.
"Ok Ink, that's not ok." Geno said.
Fresh just stared at me. He seemed confused. I felt my hand sting. The euphoria of being alive hit and I felt better.
I felt alive.
