"Are you comfortable? You need anything? There is a phone on the nightstand, if you need anything you just need to dial one ok." Bo spoke nonstop as soon lia was laid on the bed.
Its been a month since the crash and Lia recovered but her recovery process is slow, she had nightmares everyday and she didn't thrash much but her screams were so painful that they made everyone around her cry and pray for her to recover.
Sometimes she would move a lot whenever doctor came to check on her and her movements disturbed her stitches. So a female doctor replaced the male one and she trembled less when checkups were scheduled.
Bo was with her at every second of her recovery, she still is, she brought lia to her house. Bo was mesmerized with Lia's shocked yet curious face, lia was looking around her place like a kid in an amusement park. Lia on the other hand was fascinated with the house which was as big as a palace. There were room everywhere and the house was decorated in black white and baby pink theme, she felt calm seeing those walls decorated with family pictures and paintings that captured scenic beauty
The kitchen was an open space that connected the dining room, you can see what is cooking in the kitchen and let your stomach dance at the rhythm of spatula that stirs the yummy sauces.
Lia was always confined in a dark room since the tragedy so now seeing a safe home was like a gift that she got after a long and tiresome battle.
Lia was thankful that Bo was ready to let her in, she felt that she was a burden on her but still she didn't want to let go of the hand that made her feel safe and loved, she wanted to be selfish for once.
Bo was sitting on the bed near Lia who was fast asleep, Bo was feeling giddy that Lia was sleeping on her bed, she was feeling happy that Lia was beside her in her home which will be theirs from now on.
Doctor warned Bo to make sure Lia doesn't move around much as her body needs rest, she also has to make sure that not a single stressful word is said to her. She can take bath but Bo has to make sure that the stitches are not wet for a longer period of time.
Lia talked less only few words, mostly one words was spoken by her "Bo." If Lia needs anything she was will say "Bo" and point to the thing she needs.
One thing Bo loved about Lia is that whenever Lia is scared she would open her arms wide and make grabby hands towards her asking for a hug or cuddle. Lia looked so cute in her eyes that Bo would blush and her cheeks would turn pink.
If her family was around she would have been teased a lot seeing the great Bo blush who is strong enough to beat 10 muscled men into pulp.
Speaking about the family, Bo informed them about Lia, they wanted to be at the hospital the moment she explained everything but Bo assured them that she will take care of her and inform them about every single progress, the reason that Bo gave them for not coming to the hospital is simple, Lia will get scared seeing a hoard of overprotective and overdramatic family members in one room fussing over her, Lia will feel overwhelmed.
Bo's Family members huffed at her reasons but they knew, they needed to wait. Bo is the only person Lia trusts, Lia once told her this "Thank you for being there and crashing into me, I feel safe around you." Bo thought Lia was the first person who said thank you for making her more injured than she already was but she knew why she was saying thank you, this made her so angry because she was tortured to an extent where she was thankful that she almost died.
Bo prays everyday, a person who never believed in god started praying for her recovery is something that made her family shocked but happy at the same time, her family prayed too, that these two will always be there for each other no matter what.
"No, ma, No Pa, why...?" Bo jerked up from her sleep when she heard the painful screams. Bo was sitting with her back supporting the headboard. Lia's head was near Bo's thighs and she was caressing her hair making her feel safe, Bo didn't knew when she went to sleep while sitting.
Bo laid on her side and gently glided her hand under Lia's head and made her head lay on her chest. Lia was trembling by now and her eyes were overflowing with tears, they were closed and probably watching herself being tortured, Damn these nightmares.
Bo started singing in her gentle voice, trying to bring Lia into reality, Bo started doing this since she felt that her singing calmed Lia down like magic, once Lia was screaming so badly that even Bo's touch was not enough to bring her back so she started singing and this has become a norm since then.
"Baby, it's 3:00 a.m.
Had you on my mind
And it's not the first time we've gone through this
Wanting you more and more
I can't help but think of what we could be
Baby, if I could tell you, if I could tell you
How much I care
I'm in despair
Are you still there?
(Just tell me)
Just tell me, how we can make this work?
How we can make this work.."
(Song- 3 am by finding hope.)
Soon the trembling stopped and the screams turned into sobs, Bo was singing and Lia came back to reality those figures vanished into thin air who were hurting her, all that was left was warmth that Bo was spreading to her.
Bo was suppressing her rage and anger right now, her priority was to make sure that Lia was ok right now. She will ponder on her discovery later, Lia never screamed her tormentors names, she just screamed, but today she screamed no, she pleaded not to hurt her and her pleadings were directed to her parents, how can someone's own parents betray their child.
Bo was crying silently with Lia, hugging her, singing with her trembling voice and hoping to see the light.
