Chapter 15
“How are you feeling, Sook?”
She shrugged, rubbing her temples. “Not bad, considering that I was stabbed and knocked unconscious.”
Amelia sat down on the edge of her hospital bed. “You lucked out, the doctor said there was no concussion, and you only needed a few stitches. I can’t believe that crazy bitch attacked you. Sam is the one who found you and brought you here, he called the police on that psycho. There were a couple witnesses to what happened; I hope they throw the book at her.”
Sookie rested her head on the pillow, relieved that the room stopped spinning.
“Does your head still hurt? Do you need anything?” Amelia rambled on, as if she felt guilty about something. “You’ve been out for hours; we were so worried about you. Sam is talking with the doctor, and Jason is in the waiting room. I’m sure he’ll wanna see you. I’ll just go get him.”
Sookie grabbed her friend’s arm before she could take off. “What’s wrong? You’re talking way too much, even for you. Did something else happen?”
Amelia sat back down, taking in a deep breath. “Eric’s been calling your phone; I gave in and answered after the fifth ring. You were supposed to have a video chat last night, and he was worried when you didn’t show. I’m so sorry, Sookie. I panicked and told him about what happened to you.”
Sookie groaned, covering her face with her hands. “I didn’t want him to know anything about this, Ames. You should have ignored his calls, I would have thought of something else to tell him.”
“I’m really sorry, but you know how I cave under pressure. He could tell by the tone of my voice that something was wrong, that man is good at dragging the truth out of you.”
“I guess there’s nothing to be done about it now. Did you at least assure him that I was okay?” she wondered.
Amelia nodded. “I did, no worries, I’ll just let you get some more rest now.”
Sookie watched her hurry out of the room, feeling very suspicious at the sudden departure. There was definitely something Amelia wasn’t telling her.

After thanking Sam profusely for his help, and visiting a bit with her brother, Sookie drifted back off to sleep, only to be woken up later by a new presence in the room. She sat up slowly, feeling tears in her eyes at the sight of him.
“I can’t believe you’re here.”
Eric sat down on her bed, grasping her hand in his. “Where else would I be right now? I was booking my flight as soon as I got off the phone with Amelia.”
More tears fell at that. “You didn’t have to worry about me. I don’t have a concussion, a couple of stitches and I’m good as new. They’re only keeping me overnight, I feel so awful that you came all the way here. I knew Amelia shouldn’t have told you.”
He shook his head. “I’m glad she did. If we’re going to be in a relationship, you can’t keep stuff like this from me. I need to know everything, Sookie, especially if it involves you being hurt.”
She laid her head back down, nodding after a moment. “I just hate seeming so weak in front of you.”
“There is nothing about you that is weak, dear one. I think you are one of the strongest people I’ve ever met,” he explained, caressing her cheek softly. “I love every part of you.”
Sookie gasped, her eyes widening. “You love me?”
Eric nodded. “I know it’s still really sudden, but I’ve come to that realization over the last few days. I’m not expecting anything in return…”
She cut him off with her lips, never moving so fast in her life. It was a good thing for that lack of concussion, or she most likely would have gotten whiplash from just that one movement. “I love you, too,” Sookie whispered against his mouth. “I just didn’t want to be the first one to say it.”
He smiled, brushing the hair out of her face, and gently laying her back down on the bed, noticing how tired she still was.
Sookie tried to stay awake, afraid that he’d disappear if she didn’t, laughing when a thought occurred to her. “And everyone thought me moving to the big city would be dangerous; I really can’t wait to get away from here.”
“I will be around all the time then. There’s no way I’ll let anything happen to you.”
Her heart swelled, but was finding it harder to keep her eyes open. “At least now we can go back together, I hate flying by myself. I’m always stuck next to a pervert, but I already know I can handle you. Maybe we can join the mile high club.”
Eric laughed silently to himself at her somewhat coherent suggestion. “Where have you been my whole life?” he whispered, standing up to press a kiss to her forehead when she finally drifted off. He decided to give Pam a call to check on the girls, and maybe take the time to get to know her friends while he was at it.

“I was doubtful about this whole thing at first, but since you came all the way here just to see Sookie; I guess you can’t be all bad.”
Eric nodded, shaking Jason’s hand. “I do what I can, but your sister means a lot to me. I’d never do anything to hurt her; you have my word on that.”
Sam shook his hand as well, seeing how big this Eric guy was, he didn’t feel right giving him the third degree. Besides, he already proved himself enough for the both of them. “You can’t be any worse than that ex of hers, anyway.”
They all agreed.
“Ugh, speak of the devil. He has a lot of nerve showing up here,” Amelia remarked, turning her attention on Bill, who was headed in their direction. “It’s his insane girlfriend that put Sookie in the hospital. Did he actually think she’d wanna see him after that? The guy needs to take a damn hint already.”
Eric felt rage go through him at the sight of Bill Compton. He may not have been deliberately responsible for Sookie being hurt, but if it wasn’t for him, that woman never would have had a reason to go after her in the first place. As far as Eric was concerned, it was all Compton’s fault. Before he could think about his actions, Eric stormed over to Bill and clocked him right in the face.
