YOU

I pushed aside my soggy breakfast, staring at the white walls infront of me with a smug look. It was too bland, too plain, too.. ordinary.

  I needed to move, to wiggle, and to get a pencil to scratch on the inside of my leg cast.  I scoot myself back on my itchy hospital bed, and prepared myself to fake smile as the door clicked and the knob turned. Robin, Starfire and Cyborg tiptoed in with sorry smiles on all of their faces. I hated that look. That sympathy look they give you, just because youre laying in a hospital bed, unable to move your limbs for a few weeks.

  "Hello, Friend (Y/n)! How are you the feeling?" Starfire was the first to speak, holding onto Robin's hand pretty tightly. They must've become a thing. Finally. I shrugged, picking at my cast, staring at all the signatures from the nurses.

  "Could be better." I muttered, glancing up at them. Cy smacked his lips and rolled his eyes.

  "Girl, you are acting like your goldfish just died! You need some sunlight in this stuffy room." He yanked open the closed blinds and felt embarrassed when he realized it was night. I rolled my eyes. Robin set a plate down on my tray with my breakfast, and I raised an eyebrow.

  "(F/k) pie. We picked it up on the way here." He smiled.

  "Thanks." I tore off the tinfoil and breathed in the sweet smell,"Its better than this crappy breakfast." He nodded, and the room fell silent. It was awkward, nerve racking,"So.." I sniffed, glancing at the same white wall infront of me,"..How is he?"

  "Hes.. um.." Robin glanced at Starfire.

  "Uh.." Starfire stared at Cyborg desperately.

"..not well. He's still in a coma. The doctor said he suffered a lot of burns, and he.. lost a lot of blood. They.. think he might not wake up.." Cyborg bowed his head, and I forced that familiar lump down my throat.

"It's all my fault.." I mumbled.

  "Don't say that, (Y/n)." Robin cleared his throat, giving me that all too well-known sorry look.

  "If I wouldve talked it out with him, If I hadnt have left that tower without apologizing, if I wouldve.." I closed my eyes,"If I would've forgiven Jace.. I wouldnt be in this mess. Now, I probably killed him. So dont look like that. And dont tell me what to say and what not to say. I probably killed my boyfriend. I deserve to die, not him." I stared down at my broken leg, which had happened when Gar and I fell to the ground, and put my hand on the wrap around my stomach,"Can I.. see him?"

  They all nodded at once, and Cy pulled a wheelchair from the side of my bed. He picked me up, and set me in it, rolling me out of the door and down the hall to Gar's room. It was quiet inside, the sounds of his heart monitor was the only lively thing in there. Cy pushed me over and parked me next to his bed. I wiggled out of my chair, resting my cast on the floor and putting all my weight on my other leg. I wrapped my hand around his cold fingers and gave it a small squeeze.

  "I'll make sure they do whatever they can to make you all better. I refuse to let you die on me, okay?" I stared at his steady heartbeat on the monitor, and sighed,"I love you." I kissed his still warm lips softly, and a tear slipped down my cheek as I plopped back down in my wheelchair. There was a knock on the door, and my nurse, Nurse Himmings, peeked in and smiled.

  "Hi, Ms. (L/n)." He greeted,"I figured you'd be in here."

  "Hey Nurse H." I smiled sheepishly,wiping the tear, and rolled my wheelchair around to face him.

  "I'm just here to tell you that its bedtime." He tilted his head. I nodded, glancing back at my friends.

  "Got you." Cy grinned, gripping the wheelchair handles, ready to wheel me back. I gave one last look at Gar's body, and closed my eyes.

  "Im ready." I say, setting my hands in my lap. As Cyborg wheeled me back, I stared straight ahead, a look of determination written on my face.

Don't worry, Gar. I'll be here for you. And when you get better, I'll make sure we're never targeted again.

Thats a promise.
