The Bully's Obsession novel Chapter 41

　　 Hayden

　　I blinked as the bright white lights burned at my eyes.

　　Sebastian's blurry image slowly became clear.

　　I stared at him as he made his way over to me

　　"You are awake ,how do you feel? "

　　I lay on the bed confused for a mom, the unmistakably smell of antiseptics and sanitizer filtering into my nostrils.

　　Why am I in a hospital?

　　I searched my brain but everything was blank for a moment , it took about five seconds before it came flooding like a surge of waters.

　　She'd left..

　　She left me..

　　With the thought I managed to a sitting position, the sudden motion making blind spots appear in my head for a moment.

　　"Where is she? " I rasped,unable to keep the desperation out of my voice , my throat dry and scratchy but that was the last thing I cared about.

　　His gaze settled briefly on mine , silently he walked to the nearby stand to pour water into a glass before making his way back over to me.

　　My veins thrummed with tension at his silence, it was unbearable.

　　"Have a drink, you've been unconscious for so long, about six days precisely, the doctors said everything was fine but you still didn't awak...."

　　I knocked off the glass from his outstretched hand sending it flying against the tiled hospital floor , the sound of its splintering pieces echoing the whole room.

　　"Cut the crap! I fucking asked you something! " I growled out and ended off in an uncontrollably fit of coughs .

　　He produced another glass of water in a haste and was by my side the next second , I grudgingly accepted it from him, my patched throat eased as I downed the entire glass and handed it back to him.

　　"You are still recovering, do you want me to send for the doctor? Dad was worriedsick, he only left a moment ago ...i was also worried .Your life was at risk only because of her....."

　　"Where is she! " I repeated pinning him with a hardened gaze.

　　"I think you already know . She's gon...."

　　"Don't fucking say it! " The sound escaped my throat as I struggled to get off the bed.

　　I already knew what he was about to say but I couldn't bear to have it confirmed.

　　His expression was grim as he continued anyway.

　　"lie still, you are only going to reopen your wounds, she's already left . Never coming back, you should focus on getting well now.. "

　　He spoke in a casual caring tone but I don't want any of that.

　　Right now I felt like my insides were being pricked by a million needles.

　　"No!" I choked on a harsh breath.

　　"I understand that you are hurt but you still have to recover"

　　"You don't understand, this pain means nothing, I just want her ..she can't leave me I... I.. "

　　She was the only person I craved for... the wrenching pain couldn't even compete with my bullet wound, even if I was shot a thousand times more.

　　"Just calm down, your condition is only going to get worse if you keep being like this "
