50th chapter what (and I cannot stress this enough) the fuck!?!

July 9th, 2019

"Baby! Look at how much of a wanker I look." I hear Dom's voice fill the air. I turn my head so I can face him.

His face instantly drops. He pulls himself out of the chair and limps over to the bed. "No, I'm fine. Sit down, your foot." I mumble to him. "It's fine, I've got a boot on." He says as he reaches the bed, sliding himself onto it.

He slowly swings his legs up, laying next to me. He brushes his soft fingers against my face. "Whatever it is, we'll get through it. Whatever it takes. I promise you that." I snuggle down deeper into his chest. He wraps his arm gently around me.

I feel safe here. Like no one can touch me. I trust Dom with all my heart and I know he'll protect me.

I finally managed to get a bit of sleep, my body against Dom's. His heart beating softly beneath me.

"Shhh," I hear Dom say to someone. "she's asleep." I feel Dom's arm move slightly.

I bring my hand to my face, pushing my hair away from it. "Sorry." I hear an unfamiliar whisper.

I struggle to open my eyes, I recognise the face in front of me. I know I do. But I have no idea who they are. My head's still spinning and I can't think straight.

Dom squeezes me. "Ah, fuckin' hell Dom!" I shout. "Fook y/n, I'm so sorry. I completely forgot." I laugh gently at him. He looks so guilty and scared. "I'm joking, my meds are so strong I can hardly feel anything." I say, much to Dom's relief.

"I'm guessing you recognise Tom right?" Dom says to me. I lift my head, squinting my eyes. "I knew I recognised you!" I say, making them both laugh.

Tom reaches his hand out for me to shake. "Come round here and give me a hug." I say as Tom walks to my side of the bed. He leans down to me and gives me a gentle hug.

"Sorry I'm such a mess. I'm so out of it." I say to Tom as he heads back to Dom's side with the arm chair. "At least you're not as much of a mess as Dom." He says as we both start laughing.

"Where are the keys then?" Tom asks Dom. He looks around before replying "They were in my pocket. I just don't know where my hoodie is.".

"It's in here." I say as I reach toward the drawer in the bedside cabinet. I feel Dom fidgeting, "Uhhh, let Tom get it, I don't want you hurting yourself.". Tom quickly rushes to the bedside cabinet.

"Baby I told you, I'm fine. It doesn't even hurt. Why are you acting so strange." I ask Dom, he looks nervous.

He doesn't reply for a few seconds. "Helloooo?" I say, gently shaking him. "Hmm, what? Nothing, honestly."

I'm still suspicious but decide to let it slide. Tom closes the drawer, car keys in hand. "I'll be back soon, I'll try and sneak you some food in too.", "Be careful!" Dom shouts to him as he leaves the ward.

"Where's he going?" I ask Dom. "He's gonna drive the car back here and then when we get discharged he's gonna be our personal chauffeur."

I snuggle back into his chest and drift off again.

I wake up to Dom singing softly in my ear, "Tom bought us food love", I open my eyes and slowly pull away from Dom. I bring my legs up, crossing them underneath the covers.

Dom sits forward, letting his leg dangle off the bed. I raise the back of the bed completely upright, Dom helps me lean forward, placing a pillow behind my back.

Tom sits on the end of the bed, facing us both. I look at the food spread across it. "I didn't know what you wanted so I just kind of got a bit of everything.".

"So we've got McDonald's chicken nuggets, pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut," he begins listing the food out to us. "I know how you feel about dominoes," he says to Dom. "chips, cookies and a tea for Dom and a chocolate Frappuccino for y/n, no coffee or cream, just how you like it.".

I laugh as I pull the over bed table in front of me and Dom. "How'd you know?" I say as Tom hands me the drink. He nods towards Dom. "Same question applies. We've not been to Starbucks together?".

"I may have stalked your Instagram and found a picture of you and Ella at Starbucks both drinking chocolate Frappuccinos." Dom says quietly.

"You creep! That was from like 2015." I laugh. "And I know that caffeine flares up your anxiety but you don't like the taste of coffee anyway so you don't have decaf either. Anddd, I know that you don't like cream because it makes you feel bloated.".

A huge smile creeps across my face, "Guess you're a keeper." I say as I take a sip of my drink.

Tom begins placing all of the food on the table so I could reach it without leaning forward.

We begin eating the food, talking amongst us. "Oh my god, I've just realised, I didn't introduce myself. I'm sorry, I'm -" Tom cuts me off, "Y/n, Dom literally hasn't stopped telling me about you, basically everything that Dom knows, he's told me.".

I laugh as I turn to face Dom, his cheeks bright red. "Is that right?" I joke with him. "Not everything. But for the most part, ya. Not to sound like a twat but, I can't believe I'm gonna tell you this," him and Tom both start laughing, "What?" I say to them both.

"You know the day we met? When we pulled up in the car, fookin' hell, I'm gonna cry. Right so, we pulled up, and I was buzzing but like nervous at the same time. And I saw you and I just turned to Tom and said, 'That girl right there, I think I love her. I'm gonna try and get her number.'"

I blush slightly and giggle at him, "But wait, there's more." Tom urges Dom on. "So Gav was driving and he was focused on that, so couldn't really stop to see who I meant, so I made Tom take a picture of you on his camera. And it's the cutest fucking picture ever, so I made it my home screen."

He lifts his phone up, using his fingerprint to unlock it. I take the phone from his hand to look at the picture closely. "Look, everyone's like screaming and shouting and you're just so calm and all smiley." He says looking over my shoulder.

I laugh at him, "Hate to ruin it for you, but that smile was the best I could do. If I wasn't about to blackout, I would have been screaming. Look, I'm holding the barrier, I was literally holding that to try and keep myself upright. Wait get the whole picture up so I can zoom in."

He takes the phone and quickly passes it back, I zoom in, "Look at my eyes," I start laughing, "they're so far back" Dom starts laughing too as he shows Tom.

"I don't care, it's still super cute." He says as we finish eating.
