(Your P.O.V)

I awoke in a dark hospital room, but it wasn't your average hospital bed.
It was more Dark, sinister, and gruesome.
I glanced over to my right to a heart monitor and held my hand noticing I was hooked up to tubes as a soft beeping noise echoed in the room.
I glanced over to my left to see the man I wanted to see last in my life.
He sat there in a chair his head resting on his hand fast asleep.
I gave my arms another glance as I sat up my cuts were wrapped up in bandages and I was in a another hospital dress.
I couldn't remember much, the last thing I remembered was what Slenderman did to me and taking pills to sooth the emotional pain.
I didn't want to be in the bed, I didn't even want my heart to be beating at this moment.
With anger starting to boil I wrapped my fingers around the tubes that were hooked up to me.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you...."
I glanced up to see Slenderman awake making me frown and look away.
"You should have thought about that when you-"
"I know...."
I sighed sitting there about to yank on the tube when a pale warm hand touched mine.
I looked back at Slenderman, I could see him much better now.
But he seemed skinnier than usual.
"(Y/n)....please...don't.." his voice was shaky and uneven as if he was sick.
His cheek bones were more visual along with the rest of his features around his face.
Forgetting everything that happened, why I was angry why I was here my attention and worry was completely consumed by Slenderman.
His face close enough to where I could touch it I brought my small gentle hand upon it, brushing my fingertips against his cheek.
"W-what happened to you?" I whispered gently.
I know what he did was wrong, but he was still mine and I cared about him no less.
"Y-you..overdosed....you've been sleep for 10 days....and I haven't moved since I brought you here....waiting for you t-to wake up...."
He hasn't eaten...he hasn't had anything to drink....poor soul...

"I want to tell you I was sorry...but I knew it wouldn't mean anything because words are just air...when I saw you on the ground in your bathroom......I regretted everything...even my very existence....I couldn't lose you again (y/n)..". His voice was so uneven and shaky I thought he was going to cry but I was so confused ......again? What did he mean by again?
Out of sheer pity I drawer him closer into a hug.
"Please forgive me....."he whispered making everything collapse in my mind except for guilt.
I knew I wasn't the once to hold grudges especially toward people I loved dearly.
One part of me told me to push away and tell him to fuck off...but that voice was so faint he was like a pin dropping.
The other voice was screaming at me dead in my face.
FORGIVE AND FORGET YOU KNOW YOU LOVE HIM.

I was literally choking on my emotion if I had died who knows how long he would have sat there. He practically would have killed himself sitting there waiting for me to wake up.
I was on the edge of tears as gently burying my face along his skin.
"I forgive you....."
We stayed there in silence within the dark room.
I knew my mom wouldn't approve of it and certainly not my dad.
"You'll always be my friend Slenderman .....no matter what you do...my tall faceless emotional friend...even if it kills me....you'll always be my smartypants...." I whispered holding back a whole river of tears.
"Thank you (y/n)..." Slenderman sniffed before pulling up and back in his chair making my curious mind kick back in.
How was he crying? He doesn't have eyes......
Back in my child like Head I wanted ask all the questions I had but now wasn't the time.
"I really didn't Mean to hurt you...I'm just an animal...."
I had to think about for a moment but I don't think my positive remarks would work at this moment but I tried anyway.
"I would say you're human...because error is human...but you're not human.....but man is in your name so error is man....any kind of man."
Slenderman chuckled sniffling again making me wonder how he was breathing in the first place but I had better questions to ask.
"So...can I get out of here now?"
"Soon...I hope....Soon..."

~~~~~Some Months Later~~~~~~

I was released out the Creepypasta hospital a couple of about four months ago.
When I went missing for week after my mother told me not to leave I got grounded for another two weeks but all is good now.
Slenderman and I resumed our walks together but it was a little shaky at first, I was a little scared of being alone with him and him touching me at all but after some time I let him put me on his back and everything went back to the normal schedule after about a month.
Still to this day though Slenderman has defiantly treated me different.
He treated me with more respect,caution but mostly like a queen.
What I wanted he got it for me, even if I was joking about it.
To this day I feel like we've drawn closer and really accepted each other.
Since that day we were almost strangers and today now we're back where we were from the start.

One night Slenderman was unable to walk with me and so I climbed to the top of a tree and stared at the moon alone.
I looked down at my necklace, the one I hadn't taken off at all.
Even though that happened on my birthday when I got the necklace I never took it off...I was tempted...but I never took it off.

As the moon shined down upon me my necklace glowed for the first time making me smile.
And though Slenderman wasn't there when it was given to me on the back engraved within it said.

"For my short (y/n),
who is the most precious jewel in my life."
-smarty pants

Everytime I look at it the distance of our relationship and what happened gets bigger and the probability of him doing it becomes so much smaller.
