Chapter 24
Andor's Pov
The world goes black and I can hear Jordan's voice.
"Andor? Can you hear me?" He sounds so scared! I'm okay! I am!
I try to open my eyes but it causes a pain throughout my entire body.
"Hey its gonna be ok. I promise can you show us a sign? Anything." Jordan's hand slips into mine.
I put all the force I can manage to build up into my hand. I squeeze Jordan's hand.
Jordan's Pov
Andor's eyes open for a split second. That second was long enough for me to see his eyes shimmering a dark purple color.
"Troye sing." Al demands. "No!" I rebel, I want nothing to do with.....
"I feel heartbreak on my hands, I feel sick to my stomach as I being to stand.
I see in my bed, in the same spot I watched him rest his head.
I was wrong, I regret it. I write this song try to forget it,
I feel this emptiness in my chest, I feel so real but I'm feelin' stressed.
I need to do something I fucked up for nothing. Now I've gotta tell someone tell someone what I've done." Andor's eyes open again but close shortly after.
"Please baby know what you feel, just set my heart on fire just like gasoline." Tom jerks me back towards him causing me to let go of Andor's hand.
Troye stands where I once was and holds Andor's hand gently.
"Please baby know what you feel, set my heart on fire like gasoline
Oh no like gasoline
I wake up the morning after, you call but I don't answer.
And I can't look you in the eye no matter how hard I try."
Andor wakes up as the next lyrics leave Troye's mouth,
"You deserve forver, not a boy looking for better!"
Troye finishes out the song with Andor's arms wrapped around his neck.
It angers me but I try my best not to show it.
"I gotta go." Andor says as he pulls away from Troye.
He looks over at me and goes pale. "Andor are you......"
"What's he doing here!" Shit fuck! I forgot Al was here.
"Andor he-" Tom gets interrupted,
"I was here to help you. But I'll go because I'm obviously not wanted." Al sounds a little hurt even though he knows he shouldn't be.
Andor's gaze follows Al till the door shuts between them.
"Andor if you're gonna leave at least wait till Helgrind's funeral. Its tomorrow." Troye says sadly.
Andor just nods. "I can't believe you're gonna go!" Tom says and I move over beside now standing Andor.
"I can't stay here. Tom you of all people should understand."
"I don't. You've never actually faught with a sword ever. How the hell are you gonna defend yourself?" Tom sounds genuinely worried. I have forced these thoughts back.
"Don't worry about me. We'll discuss this at a later date." Andor and I exchange glances.
"We'll leave you two love birds alone."
"As will we." Andor jokes but Troye just gives him a bad look.
After a long moment of silence Andor asks,
"Can we cuddle." I smile and position myself next to Andor.
He snuggles into my chest, a almost natural move now.
I feel him sigh then take a deep breath. "I love you." He's on the verge of tears.
"I love you a lot and I'm so sorry I have to leave you. I love you." Andor's words are quick but that doesn't matter. They're coming from him and that's all that matters.
"I love you too Andor. More than anything."
Time Skip
I stare up at the hospital ceiling. Andor's fast asleep in my arms.
I've tried to sleep but nightmares of Andor's possible death haunt me.
Tom made a good point. Andor's never hurt anyone or anything with well anything!
How's he gonna protect himself from the danger that's out there.
I shut my eyes as the door opens. I hear im click shut but no footsteps?
Al's Pov
I wheel over to Andor's side of the bed. What have I done to this poor boy.
We used to be best friends! Now I can't count how many times I've beat him to the edge of death.
Jordan's eyes open and he's staring at me. I realize I'm crying.
He pulls Andor closer to him and I see a smile form across Andor's face.
I shake my head then start out. I reach for the door knob.....
"Al wait!" I turn and Andor hugs me best as possible due to the wheelchair.
"Its okay. I forgive you." He pulls away and I roll out. Happiness filling me entirely.
Andor's Pov
"You forgave him! After what he did to you!" Jordan sounds angry. Why? Doesn't he remember our lady's ways?
"Yes Jordan but Ia-"
"He nearly killed you countless times! How could you..."
"BECAUSE IANITE IS ABOUT FORGIVENESS! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I FORGAVE YOU!" Jordan looks shocked by my sudden outburst. I sigh and run a hand through my hair.
"I'm sorry. I-I'm just anxious and nervous about tomorrow." I say after seeing the tears rolling down Jordan's face.
I climb back into bed next to Jordan. He buries his head in the crook of my neck.
Time Skip
Doctors finish up my final round of tests before deciding I'm stable enough to leave.
Maddi enters and she's in a funeral dress. Jordan enters with her. A suit in his hands.
"Martha made it." Maddi says quickly. I can tell she's nervous about something, I just don't know what.
They exit as I change. Martha got pretty close to my actually size. The coat is a bit big but that's okay.
I open the door and see Jordan standing there. He looks upset, I become concerned. I pull his arm and he tumbles inside the room.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Nothing. Let's go." I see right past Jordan's lie.
"We stay here until I know what's wrong. They can delay the funeral if they have to."
Jordan looks like he is debating with himself.
"Okay. Can we just go somewhere else? I hate this room." I nod in agreement.
