Chapter 17, Hello, How Are You?
Marty's POV

I could hardly wait to get out of this hospital. I wanted to get better fast enough to take Novah out on a proper date now that she was my girlfriend. I did have to get back on tour as well.

The fans had been waiting long enough. Novah was inspiring me to create new music. Her love for me made me sing inside myself. I was so happy these days. I know it scared her to think I nearly died.

I would have died to save her! No way in hell would I allow that crazed man to harm her in anyway. I had promised to protect Novah and I stayed true to my word. I always did.

♥☆♥

"Marty why do you look so bored?" chuckles Novah. "You got me here" she reminds me.

"I know sweetheart but I want to go home" I complained to her. "I have things to do, I want to get back to life! To us!" I add.

"Marty I want that to more than anything in this world. But you nearly died. Your healing. Your body needs rest my love. I will be right here with you as you do. When we do get to leave we shall celebrate. Not like you can make love right away after such a wound, so rest up lover boy" she warns me sternly. She winks then smiles at me.

She kisses me on the lips. I let her hold me. This was the best feeling in the world. Besides pain meds. Her love. Her kiss. Just her....

"I know. I'm impatient I guess. I mean I have waited so long to be with you. And I still can't! Something is always standing in my way" I mutter.

"You are kind of cute when you pout" she teases me.

"Hush" I mutter. She kisses my forehead. She stayed here all night. Sleeping in the chair beside me. She was so worried about me. She often refused to get cloths to change but her brothers would get on her case.

So would I. She needed to take care of herself to. I worried about her. I was so grateful to be in her life. She love me in return. She really loved me.

♥☆♥

"What? Is something on my face?" she giggled as I smiled watching her. I shake my head no.

"Why did it take you so long to say you loved me? When you could have before?" I ask curiously.

"Well, I was going to then you said we needed to focus on getting me safe. That stopped me. And I had hurt you many times in our past. I felt scared you would reject me because I pushed you away. I to had loved you for years. It was on again off again thing for us. Never the right time. This whole mess brought us closer and closer together. I'm glad that it did" she explained to me softly.

"I'm sorry you felt you could not come to me and tell me you felt this way. I was hurt from the past. And I felt you could never love me. That you saw me as a brother figure and if I couldn't have you I needed to have you that way in my life. I could not lose you. Once I saw he was threatening to harm you then I knew I had to step in" I tell her.

She holds my hand in her own.

"Marty I'm glad you believed me when my brothers didn't. I am so grateful you saved my life in so many ways. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you" she reminds me. Tears come to her. She kisses me. I reach out to hold her.

It hurt to move a lot. I found I wanted to eat and nap. And I looked forward to pain meds. I never wanted to ever get shot at again. But if it was for her safety then I would any time.

♥☆♥

"I want to get you home to. And out of here. You know this. But I want you to get better first" she whispers to me. She rests her forehead on mine. She holds her hand near the back of my neck. Fiddling with my hair between her fingers.

"I understand. It takes forever. Everything does" I admit I was impatient. Because I wanted to be with her so badly.

"I love you with all my heart" she promised me. She kisses me again.

"And I love you to." I reply back.

"How's my boy today?" Gabe asks as he comes in with his brother to see me. We all take turns hugging.

"Crabby but getting better. The food sucks" I sigh. "And I hate hospital gowns. Just when you fall asleep they wake you to check on you" I try explaining. I missed my own bed.

With Novah in it beside me.

"Maybe we can help out with dinner? What would you like? It's on us! We will get it for you!" announced Ariel.

"That would be great! And some for Novah. She has hardly eaten she keeps making sure the nurses take care of me" I chuckle.

"Absolutely man, what sounds good?" asks Ariel.

"Subway! I want a hefty meatball sub. With the works. That sounds great. Chips and cola too!" I add.

"Marty, maybe greasy food isn't a good idea" warns Gabe.

"If god made it for us to eat it's good" I sigh.

"One sub won't hurt him" laughs Novah. "Food police" she mutters.

"Your girlfriend is a bad influence" sighs Gabe. Novah slugs him in the arm for the remark. We laugh.

"Novah, could you get me my black poetry book in our motel room? Please?' And girl get stuff you need go with Ariel to make sure he gets my order right" I ask.

"Sure, but you know I don't like leaving you" she grumbled. She kisses me.

"You won't miss much. I will be here when you get back!" I vow to her.

♥☆♥

She heads out with her brother. Gabe sits beside me in her chair. He smiles at me as we turn a baseball game on tv.

"So, my sister is already driving you nuts?" He joked.

"No she isn't. I just want her to take care of herself to. She worries to much" I admit to him.

"You are a good man Marty" says Gabe.

"You might call me brother in law one of these days" I tease with a wink. He looks surprised by that.

"You think Novah's the one?"

"I don't think, I know she is" I answer.

Soon Novah comes back with my book for me. She had showered and changed clothing, we all enjoyed subs for dinner. I was scarfing mine down fast. Much better food then here.

"You were hungry" Novah laughs.

"Yes, and when I do get out of here I know a great place to take you for our first date" I remind her.

"I can't wait Marty!" She says with a grin.

Soon we were done eating. Her brothers headed back for the night. Novah picked a movie for us to watch on tv together. A nurse came into check my vital signs a few rounds.

Soon Novah was sleeping curled up in her chair. I manage to scoot close without waking her. I cover her with one of my blankets so she would not get cold.

I was blessed to have a love like this. She was my true love.
