The doctor went over the test with me, making sure everything was in working order. Steven held my hand through it all, and if my hand was being tested, he held my arm. I smiled weakly, I loved every inch of him but everything felt off. He could see a sadness behind my smile.
We will go home soon, you'll feel safe at home.
I am not going back there!
But Allis, I moved everything to our new place, you've been out for a few months, I had my parents watch you well I moved everything.
I guess... but your parents? I thought they were in Russia?
When I told them about what happened they came and stayed with you well I was dealing with things.
I frowned, this is not how I wanted them to meet me!
They still love you, because you love me!
I frowned, not because of his parents but because everything feels wrong nothing about me felt right any more.
I think I should stay alone for awhile. I spout out the words without thinking about what he might do or say.
Steven's body stiffened and the rest of him froze in place. I am sorry did I do something wrong?
No Steven. No I just...
Just what Allis? I am here for you, I promise nothing about my feelings have changed, and we can take things slow, it's just it seems like a bad idea for you to be alone. I am here for you along the whole way, and I will protect you, I won't rush you or force you to do anything, I just wish you would think about everything we've been through, I am willing to fight to the very end just to be along side you.
I was shocked, why would he care so much about me? I had nothing to give, my looks change with every new life, looks are only skin deep. my personality, seems like I had many, he knows nothing of my powers so, what do I have that he could want.
what about when were old?
what about it?
will you still love me when I no longer have my looks.
you'll still be the same person just with maturity.
I wouldn't call it that! Wrinkles! shorter.
And you think I'll be any better? I don't see women chasing after grandpa.
But women fall in love with men for men when they are truly in love.
so do men, you just haven't met one till now he proudly smiled.
What if my personality changes?
it always does! he grinned scarasm all over his face.
I am not joking!
who said I was? his grin turned more into a smirk.
your not making this easy. I snapped
then I'll make it as hard as possible. I don't want to loose you. Not now, not ever. I love all of you which includes all of them as he pointed to my head.
I never met anyone like him before. How could I be so blind till now? I went over this in my head. I don't deserve a man like him.
The doctor knocked at the door and interrupted our conversation. So everything seems to be in order, but I need to go over a few things before you can be released.
He handed me a few pamphlets on how to get back the muscle function after being in a coma, he also gave me a list of psychiatrists and therapists to help with what I went through and gave me a few medications to get back to where I needed to be, painkills, sleep aids and special vitamins to try and help what I lost well I was out.
I thanked the doctor and he nodded and said it been an interesting few months and walked out.
I turned to Steven and honestly asked him what the doctor meant by interesting .. I was out... what's so interesting about sleeping?
Steven looked at me and hesitated.
what? what went on?
Nothing really.... we will talk more when we get home.
Steven! I am serious what the heck?
You talked in your sleep, you attacked a few people, a couple of odd things happened but let's talk about it later!
I honestly looked a little relieved when he said this.
I thought this was going to go another way. I said a little lifted in spirt.
Steven looked a little confused what other way would it have gone?
I thought someone would come for me.
Steven went quiet and looked at me with a look of unsureness. like a parent who doesn't know how to explain death.
Uh Allis I came for you.
that's not what I meant. I thought he'd try to come for me.
Steven's look got worse... as he stared at me. David's dead. he's not going to come for you any more.
I thought for a moment and thought in my head.... oh yeah I killed that assholes form... but usually by now he's found a body and moved on but I can't tell Steven that.
and no one else has come for me?
Steven looked confused as he answered is there someone else who's coming for you?
I don't think David is alone Steven, I think he works with other people.
maybe they didn't care when "boss" died he said with a straight face.
I guess. but I still don't think it's that easy.
I think it's time we go home Allis, we can get you home and safe and go from there.
he handed me my normal clothes and I changed into the stuff and wabbled out hand in hand, I refuse to be someone carted around in a wheelchair. Steven shook his head in disapproval but still helped me "walk" out to our car.
