Tragedy

chapter 3- "you deserve better, not a wimpy little boy"

A thunderstorm hit that night. the loud thunder, the sparking lightning hitting the window pain as i try to sleep for the first time in a long time. but something was stopping me, not the thunder, not the lightning, just my plain old thoughts in the way. what would have happened if i didn't meet bruce. i can't even
imagine what my life would be like. i'd still be out on the streets, i'd be a mess, but why would
bruce choose me? out of everyone why would he choose me? because he felt bad for me? sad?
Bang! is all i heard as my thoughts disappeared. Bang!
I lay down frozen still, staring at the ceiling tempting to fall asleep but can't.

The next morning

Alfred told me breakfast was ready, and we sat at the kitchen table eating in silence, even though technically i wasn't eating, instead playing with my food.
" Selina, what are you thinking about?" Alfred asks.
"Nothing" i say, barely a whisper.
"Selina" he said sternly.
"It's just, at the hospital last night, while Bruce was unconscious i told him that i love him, and then a couple of seconds later he woke up, not even knowing where he was and a couple of more seconds afterwards he told me that he loved me too, but i don't if he was saying it because he really meant it or just because he was confused and didn't want to upset me. I guess that i'm just scared that he doesn't love me and that he's going to leave me." i said tears eyed.
"Wow, Selina Kyle scared" Alfred said jokingly.
i chuckled, barely crying.
" Listen Selina, i've never seen Bruce look at anyone like he does at you, trust me Bruce loves you more than anything in this world and he would never leave you! would you like to go see him today?"
"Yes, it's that alright"
" No problem at all."
At the hospital. (skipped cuz i'm lazy)
We sat on the waiting room, waiting (Obviously) for news on Bruce , When a doctor comes out and calls us into a room.
"Mr. Pennyworth, Ms. Kyle, would you like to follow me"
we flowed him into a room.
"okay so we have good news and bad news."
he said seriously.
"okay" Alfred said, as i just nodded tears threatening to spill out of my eyes if i said anything.
"Okay so Bruce is in a coma. Bruce had an operation last night even thought consent was needed but we couldn't get ahold of you Mr. pennyworth but if we did t operate on him he would have died. now the operation did go very well, in which he will be all healed when he wakes up which should be tomorrow, but if not with-in the next week or so."
"C-Can we see him" i asked him, my voice croaky and sore.
"Of course, but he has moved rooms. He is now in room 213."
"Okay thanks doc!" i said trying to be enthusiastic but failing after my smile suddenly drops. As i walk to room 213, Alfred attempts to lighten the mood, but fails which leaves me giggling the rest of way. When we walk in my ears become bound to all sounds existent except beeps. Beeping noises surrounding me, not even acknowledging the words coming out of Alfred's mouth. For the next couple of hours all that can be heard are the beeps from the machine and our tears and sniffles- Well mostly mine- echoing the room, me holding bruce's hand not wanting to let go. About 2 hours later Alfred is asleep on the couch and i am sitting on the chair next to the hospital bed holding bruce's hand attempting to sleep but failing, obviously. Around about
1:34am i feel Bruce's hand moving and see him stirring in his 'Sleep' and i pretend to be asleep so he doesn't see me staring, last thing i want is him to think his gf is a total creep. I watch carefully making sure not to get caught, but he takes the wires and things helping him, off and
leans over and kisses my hand and whispers 'you deserve better, not a wimpy little boy'. He hands me a note and his eyes close, i get super scared and after a minute or so when he's 'asleep' again i rush up to get a doctor and while they put the wires back on his arms and chest i stand outside reading the note he wrote me.

Dear Selina,
I'm very sorry that this has to happen but i don't want you thinking that this is your fault, because it's not. You deserve better than me, you deserve the world, and i wasn't able to make you happy. I understand that what i'm doing may be unnecessary but i feel its the best thing to do to avoid pain. Letting myself live with the fact that we parted breaks my heart but knowing it was my fault hurts me even more. i just need you to stay strong for not only me but yourself. Alfred will take care of you back at wayne manor and you can get
a better boyfriend and get the happiness you deserve. I love you so much Selina it hurts, always know that i will love you and nothing will stop that.
Goodbye Selina,
~Bruce

I really can't keep my tears in this time, i just break down completely and i'm guessing Alfred hears me because he comes out looking really concerned and hugs me. i hand him the letter from bruce and he just stares at me blankly for a couple of seconds before reading the letter.
After he just hugs me again and i just cry and hug him tightly, his shirt getting soaked in salty tears but not giving a care in the world. The doctors and nurses walk out and tell us they managed to sort him out and he should be alright so we go back inside to our original places and i hold Bruce's hand. Being so sad we didn't realise that it was actually morning and we were told that bruce had a guest, we waited for them to come in and once they did we were shocked to see the young girl standing in the doorway with a huge smirk on her face.....

1080 words! Wow, emotional chapter! 😭 Who was the guest????
