The Ginger Prince & Princess Leia

“Come on Kay, I know you’re in there. I don’t know if you can hear me or understand me but I know you’re in there.” A voice spoke. “Munchkin, please?” Cammie. “Alright, I just, I love you. Ya know? I hate seeing you like this and I know that if you stay like this much longer I’m not going to be able to fight the guys. They want to take you to the hospital Kaybear, I know you hate hospitals as much as I do. Needles and that chemical smell that you can taste, plus the food is terrible. I’m worried that I’m forgetting your eye color and I miss your smile, and your laugh, your voice in general to be honest. Please come back to us. Rob’s going crazy and Alan’s a mess. We all are. Ian even left his bunk.” I wanted to open my eyes, and tell him that I was okay but they wouldn’t open. He was holding my hand and I wanted to squeeze his and tell him that I loved him too but my muscles weren’t working.
His hand let go of mine and he sighed but I knew he hadn’t left my side. Focusing all of my energy on moving I managed to open my eyes and look at him. He was looking down, his curly blonde hair looked like it hadn’t been brushed and his normally bright blue eyes were almost grey and looked sunken like he hadn’t slept.
Cameron had been like that since I met him, it took him a while to open up but once he trusted someone his loyalty was undying. I would have bet money that he sat there the entire time I was sleeping no matter how long it was. Moving my head a little I noticed the half-eaten food and empty packages scattered around him.
“Cammie.” I choked out making him whip his head up to look at me. His eyes lit up slightly and he smiled.
“Oh god. It’s so good to hear your voice.” He whispered tearing up. “ Guys! She’s awake!” He shouted making the bus door slam open.
“Be careful Alan.” I heard John call out before there was a flash of ginger hair in front of me.
He stared at me for a second and I looked back at him. His face was tear stained and his eyes were puffy and bloodshot from crying.
“Babe, oh my god, you scared me. “ He wiped away tears as I reached out for him using his shoulder to pull myself up to a sitting position. “I love you, but if you ever do something that stupid again I’ll kill you.” He shook his head and leaned in quickly pressing his lips to mine.
“KK?” I had been holding back tears, but when I heard Robbie’s voice I let them go, sobbing uncontrollably. John pushed both him and Alan out of the way and crouched in front of me.
“Kayla. You’re lucky I’m certified and knew how to take care of you. Despite my better judgment I listened to these guys and stitched you up here instead of sending you to a hospital, you’re doing okay even with the blood loss, but if you keep crying like this you’re going to rip your stitches and I’m going to have to take you to the hospital.” His blue eyes were hard as he stared at me. At the mention of going to the hospital I calmed and tried to control my breathing. “That’s my girl, breathe.”
When I was calmed down I looked around for Robbie and found him in the corner. He looked over with sad eyes.
“I’m alive.” I whispered to him and he glared at me. Within seconds he was across the room.
“I already lost them, I can’t lose you too.” Them being our parents who died when I was 6, Robbie was 12 and had taken it hard. “You’re all I’ve got, I saw you completely broken once and I can’t do that again.” Nodding I summoned up the strength to stand wrapping my arms around his midsection. Letting out a loud sigh he kissed my head and tentatively wrapped an arm around my good side. “Don’t fucking scare me like that.”
“I’m sorry, I promise I won’t do anything like that again.” I sat back down gingerly and lean against Alan. “What happened exactly?”
Alan started from when I left. Apparently I had gone farther than I thought and they tried following me but couldn’t keep track of me. When I didn’t return within the hour, both bands and the crew came out looking for me. Tino found me at almost midnight slumped against a tree, covered in my own blood, frozen and barely breathing. He carried me back to the group and John used his nursing experience to stitch me up. They left me on the couch because they didn’t want to move me too much. When they were done I looked up at Alan.
“How long have I been asleep?” Silently they all looked away. “That long?”
“Four days.” Cammie mumbled from the carpet where he was still sitting.
“We thought we had lost you once or twice there.” John told me. “I told them that if you didn’t wake up by tomorrow morning you were going to the hospital.”
Heaving a sigh I lifted my shirt slightly and looked at the six inch bandage covering my side. Alan let his fingers graze over it gently, turning my head I kissed him quickly and pulled my shirt back down just as the OM&M boys came running it.
“Princess.” Austin breathed smiling down at me. “It’s nice to see you awake.” I smiled back at him as he joined Cameron on the floor. Aaron and Phil were next and they both gave me a smile before sitting on the couch across from me. Tino came in last and walked over squatting in front of me.
“Thank you, you saved my life.” I whispered reaching out to grab his hand. “I don’t know how I can repay you.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’m ur boi, I’ve got you.” I laughed lightly and winced at the pain in my side. He smiled slowly. “But if you want to repay me, don’t ever go running off again. Everyone is a mess without you.”
“I promise.”
