Chapter Twelve~Love Hurts.

I rode through the rain frantically to get to the place where I saw Bruce get hurt as quick as I could. Harvey Dent had already been taken by the police but there was still no sign of Bruce. The rain was falling harder and became more and more worried about him. "Bruce?" I called loudly. "Eleanor?" I heard his voice shout back from behind a building making my heart flutter. He was still alive at least. "Bruce." I whispered to myself before running towards where I had heard his voice. There he was, leaning against the wall with blood d ripping from his eye down his cheek. "You're still alive. I can't believe it! But you were stabbed, t-that was the last thing I saw. I thought you were dead. I felt sick. I had to come here quickly to see if you were alright." I panicked through my tears.


Bruce walked towards me and pulled me close this chest. "Bullet and Knife proof suit. I'm fine." Bruce explained. I placed both hands on his cheeks. The rain and my tears were streaming down my face. "I thought I had lost you. I couldn't imagine life without you, I don't want a life without you. I'd sacrifice myself just to be with you. And I-" I started to say when his soaked lips interrupted me by connecting them with mine. Kissing in the rain was such a cliche thing to do but I liked it. "I'm not going anywhere. You have to get used to this Eleanor, but you can't keep risking your life to see if I'm okay, I won't let you do that. I need to keep you safe otherwise if you get hurt, then it's only my fault for not protecting the most important thing in my life." He explained. I nodded and kissed his lips again. "Well, now I know how strong your suit is, I won't be so worried." I confessed. He smiled and intertwined his fingers with mine and took me home. My Grandfather was relieved to see that I was okay, even if he gave me a lecture, and he was happy that Bruce was safe too. Lieutenant Gordon called to tell us that they had arrested Harvey Dent too so that was great news.
