When Roses Grow Black Chapter 10 "She has a mild concussion, and temporary amnesia, it seems. I have no idea what to do with her until she remembers everything. We only know what state she's from!!," I heard Kevin's voice echo in to my room from the hospital hallway. I couldn't help but feel bad about doing this to him, but I couldn't allow myself to be shipped back home. I was so close to finding what I was looking for. I wasn't gonna give in now. But, what was I looking for?!? I wasn't even sure. I was ripped from my thoughts when my hospital door clicked closed. I looked up and found Nick looking at me from the foot of the bed. A mix of confusion and contempt on his face. "Hi," I squeaked out in my smallest voice. I felt so little under his accusing gaze. "What do you want??" He asked in a soft voice. The desperation in his voice killed me. What did I want? "I don't know," I looked him dead in the eyes and fought the on coming tears. 'My God I'm turning in to a wuss,' I cursed myself for being over emotional. Little did I know, that it was a side effect from the pain killers. What was happening to me?? I had no clue what this conversation was even about. "Don't cry," Nick's defenses went down as my tears found their way down my cheeks. He sat down in the chair next to my bed and pulled me into a hug. "You remember everything, don't you??" He whispered in my ear as he rocked me back and forth in an attempt to comfort me. I merely nodded my head against his chest since it took all I had not to let out very loud sobs. In time, my crying subsided and Nick rocked me in to a peaceful sleep. There was no describing the safety I felt just knowing he was in the same room as me. I had never in all my life, felt that secure. The dream didn't come back to haunt me, although later, I'd wish it had.Next: Chapter 11 |
