Catra's POV

I watched Adora's body fall to the ground lifelessly making me heart drop, as I rushed toward her body. The knife that was impaled into her back made me grimace at the sight. I held her body close to mine clenching it tight as I looked up at the person who stabbed her.

"What the fuck did you just do!" I yelled being on my knees still holding Adora in my arms.

I saw him look down at his hands in horror as he dropped the knife running his hand over his face awkwardly. 

"I-I just stabbed a person" He gasped looking at the knife wounded in Adora's back.

I moved Adora onto my back and glared at him, "Damn right, you did!"

I didn't give him a chance to respond, instead, I rushed into the parking lot not hearing footsteps behind me luckily. Which meant that he had no intention of following me now. I sprinted over to my motorcycle and positioned myself so that Adora was still holding tight onto my back as I put my motorcycle into drive.

As we rode down the streets, I felt my heart racing in anticipation. The vision of Adora getting stabbed replayed in my mind, all I could think of was that and wanting the hospital to show up already.

"Come on, Adora" I can't lose you, I mumbled feeling the tears in my eyes push back against my face because of the wind.

"I can't.." I repeated.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I stayed in the waiting room for what felt like hours. When I brought Adora to the hospital she had blood all over her back. She was instantly taken to the emergency room, unfortunately, I haven't gotten much news back.

*flashback*

"Please help!" I sobbed, dragging her body into the hospital. I saw a bunch of nurses surround our bodies as I dropped us both to the ground from exasperation.

Everything around us felt numb, I couldn't hear anything around me either. Everything sounded muffled, the only thing I could hear or really see clearly was Adora's body that laid numb, I felt someone drag me into a chair and Adora put into a stretcher and taken away into the ER.

But before she was put rolled into the Emergency room, I swear I saw her mouth my name slowly. I squinted my eyes to get a closer look but the doors closed behind them before I could even see her face again.

I slumped into the chair and shoved my head in my hands and began to let out small sobs, knowing all I could do is just wait for her to come back. What if she died? This is all my fault...If I had just warned her...

Before, I knew it. I closed my eyes and began to feel my body become heavy as I began to fall into a deep sleep.

*end of flashback* 

I played with the bracelet on my wrist as I continued to wait for the doctor to ever come out of the ER to tell me that Adora was okay. What if the news wasn't good? All I could think of was the possible outcomes the doctor would tell me. I watched my leg bouncing up and down nervously as I bit my lip. 

I then looked over at my backpack, which had something that caught my eye. I gulped nervously and reached out my hand to touch the jacket that Adora had to give me during first period today. I sniffled, and couldn't even begin to explain the guilt I felt. Even when I was an asshole to Adora today, she still gave me her jacket. 

I gripped the jacket and held it close to me as I shoved my face into it, I felt a small warmth of happiness in my chest as the scent of Adora entered my nose. It reminded me of Adora, and how close we have gotten lately, but I never thought something like this would happen. 

I heard a door close giving me shivers down my spine thinking it was the doctor, I quickly shoved my head out of Adora's jacket and stood up, then looking around. I sighed and saw her two friends, Bow, and Sparkles, I think? They definitely had worried looks on there faces as they saw me standing up and looking at them.

I nervously stepped back and gave a small wave that was cut off from Sparkles running up and giving me hug, almost knocking the wind out of me.

"Thank god, you're okay" She mumbled hugging me tighter.

"Y-Yea, mind letting go? Your hugs are tight" I croaked out, then sighing of relief feeling her grip loosen and her stepping back.

"Sorry, about that. I'm just glad you're okay. Is Adora okay? Thank you for saving her" Sparkles blurted out all at once.

I held up a hand and shook my head, "Woah, Woah. Sparkles, once thing at a time. Thanks for checking up on me, but I haven't heard from the doctor about Adora"

Sparkles looked at Bow and let out a shaky exhale, "I see, she's been in there for quite a while. Hasn't she?"

I nodded and looked over at the door that led to the emergency room, and pointed to it. 

"She's been in there for a couple of hours," I told them.

I saw Sparkles let out a small sob as she put her head into Bow's chest, as he hugged her closer. I watched them wishing that I could hug Adora right now and tell her that it's gonna be okay. Suddenly I heard a door close and a doctor looking around for someone, once his eyes laid on me he walked up to me.

The feeling of nervousness built up, every step the doctor took made my heart skip a beat.

"Catra, right?" He asked holding his clipboard.

I nodded, "Is she alright?"

He sighed and brushed his forehead with his backhand, "Shes gonna be alright, but unfortunately, the knife just barely hit an artery near her shoulder, so we are still determining if she will be able to use her shoulder anymore"

As his word escaped his mouth, I let out a small gasp putting my hand over my mouth. The idea of Adora possibly losing the ability to use a part of her arm made my heartbreak. I continued to hear bigger sobs come out of Glimmer.

"Are you sure?" Bow squeaked out still holding Glimmer.

The doctor coughed, "As I said, we are still determining if that's what is going to happen. But it's a possibility that it won't happen. All we can do is hope"

I clenched my fist but quickly released them, "Can we see her?"

He shook his head, "No, only fam-"

"Hey, Doc" A nurse interrupted.

He looked over and raised an eyebrow at the nurse, "Yeah?"

"The patient from room 102 wishes to see a person named 'Catra'"

~~~~~~~~~~

I was guided to the room by a different nurse, unfortunately I was only allowed to come because there is no one allowed to come in the first place. But since Adora called for me, the doctor made an exception to let me see her.

We made it to the room and the sight almost killed me, Adora was hooked up to a bunch of cords, and an IV. There were a lot of bandages on her face, along with a huge bandage on her shoulder which covered up her wounded shoulder.

I didn't even realize that her eyes were slightly cracked open and staring at me. I watched her hand try and move up to signal to come closer but winced. I shook my head and quickly sat in the nearby chair, I grabbed her hand and held it close. 

She gave me a weak smile and her eyes traveled up and down my body, then eventually landing on my face.

"H..Hi, Ca-" I quickly shushed her by putting my finger to her lips.

"Don't speak, just nod and shake your head" I told her.

She nodded with my finger against my lip, I smiled back at her and dropped my hand back down to her's, squeezing it softly.

"Adora...I'm sorry"

She shook her hand and continued to listen to me by not speaking. She squeezed my hand back and drew circles on the top of it with her thumb.

"Are you okay?" I asked softly.

She let out a small whimper hearing the words and gave a small shake of her head, "It...It hurts"

Hearing her mumble those words weakly made me frown, and let a tear escape one of my eyes. I bowed my head in guilt.

"If only, I was faster. If only I hadn't let him grab my foot. I-If only, I had warned you beforehand.." I scolded myself weakly. 

I continued to sob, not letting Adora see the weak figure that sat in front of her. I watched the tears of my eyes fall onto my lap. I then felt a small hand move from my cheek, traveling down to my chin and pushing it up making me look up at her. 

"Don't apologize, It's not your fault" Adora whispered, it didn't sound weak this time. It was if she tried her hardest not to show she was weak.

I took her hand and planted a small kiss on the palm of her hand, which made her give a small smile. I gave her a quick smile and continued to scan the room, I always hated hospitals. They give me the creeps and besides, the smell wasn't the best either. But, seeing Adora in this position was the scariest for me. I have never seen Adora this beat up before, or this weak at all. And, knowing that I could have prevented this made me feel even more guilty and worse about myself. 

I saw her eyes begin to close and mumble a few inaudible words. I tried to interpret what she was saying, but it was impossible. I stood up, thinking that she needs sleep and wants to be alone.

As I was getting up, I felt a weak tug on my hand making me look back.

"Stay" She weakly pleaded, her eyes slightly cracked open again looking at me. A smile appeared on my face, before sitting down I placed a small kiss on her forehead and looked into her weak yet so strong blue eyes.

"Always"
