Running The World With You

I heard all of it

"Amora if you take my dolly again I'm going to have to tell daddy!" Helena whines. She's been playing with her barbies and won't let me play.

"Helena let Amora play." Leo orders. He always stands up for me.

Helena walks to the corner and pouts.

"I'm not playing with a meanie like Amora."

I just sit down and play. I put the dolls in the car and move it back and forth.

"Leo play wit me." I gurgle. He runs over and grabs ken.

"Ok. Oh my gosh, an attack! Ahhh!" He grabs another doll and makes it attack our car. I giggle.

"How are you kids doing?" I hear my dad say. We all drop our things and go hug him.

"Helena is mean." I say. Helena gets red in the face.

"No Amora just plays with things that aren't her's and Leo is over protective." Helena snaps. My dad lets out a light laugh and my mom walks in.

"Mommyyy!!" We scream. We all run and hug her. She's been sad lately. Nobody knows why. In fact, both my parents have been sad lately.

Her big belly has become smaller.

"I think it's time for Amora's nap!" She chimes. Leo groans and Helena claps her hands.

"Nooo..."

****

"Nooo..." I hear myself say. I hear hospital monitors beeping. Where am I?

"Amora? Nurse!" Some male voice says. I'm awake but can't bring myself to open my eyes. I try to, but I can't.

"Lucius come back here! You can just press the button!" A female voice I recognize as my mom shouts. Who's Lucius?

Suddenly the memories flood back to me. An arrogant man who I was forced to marry. I was running away from him when I went down in that plane.

I guess he wasn't so bad. He's here right now. Charlotte is the real demon. I shouldn't be worried about Lucius. He cares in a weird way.

I hear feet walk in.

"Your majesties, she should wake up soon. I'm not exactly sure when, but maybe in the next few hours. Her condition is stable and her is active. Dreaming and such." I hear an unfamiliar Spanish voice say. Hmm. A nurse maybe? Yes that makes sense.

"Thank you." I hear my dad say. I could never forget his gentle but powerful voice.

"Could I get a few minutes alone with her please? I just have some things I wanna say before she wakes up." I hear Lucius ask. I'm assuming my family lets him because I hear feet and then a door close.

"Hey kitten. I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean to be such a jerk. I really care about you and when I heard about what you tried to do.." I hear a sign come from him. "I couldn't think about anything but you. I want to be near you always. I know I'm not the best at showing it, but I... I..." another sigh.

"I... I think I love you." My eyes immediately flutter open. It feels like I'm coming up for air from a body of water. Those words triggered something inside of me.

I look into Lucius's blue eyes. They look bloodshot. He smiles at me but doesn't say anything.

"Did.. did I wake you?" He asks. I think I know what he means.

"Yes... I heard all of it." I manage to say. My throat is sore. I'm assuming I was in a coma.

"You... you were in a coma. I... I can't believe I ever let you go. I'm so sorry." He rushes over and pushes a button.

"It's alright. You care but you have funny way of showing it." He beams at me. He has watery eyes. He really cares about me that much?

I know the words he wants to hear but I just can't say them. I need to think if all through.

I see my parents and my brother rush in. My mom is crying and my dad is smiling ear to ear.

"Amora baby! Oh I love you so much!" I hear my mom cry. She gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm so sorry Amora if I'd had known I would have locked you in my room!" Leo says, attempting to hug me but failing.

"Ileó petit don't ever try something like that again! You almost turned all my hair gray!" My dad scolds. I smile. I love my family so much.

And I'm willing to look past Lucius's harsh past with me if he's changed. There is good in everyone.

"Don't worry, I won't. Now I have to tell you all sometning that is very serious. Don't freak out." I see everyone nod except Lucius. He'll freak out no matter what. "Charlotte, the therapist, set up the plane to kill me."

"What?" My dad shouts. The nurse walking in looks terrified.

My dad pulls out his phone and dials a number. My mom is rubbing my shoulder, looking nervous as ever. Leo is pacing around. Lucius, looks like he's going to strangle everything and everyone.

"Robert, agafa aquesta gossa terapueta i illença-la a una cel•la. Va intentar matar Amora. Ara." (Robert, take that therapist bitch and throw her in a cell. She tried to kill Amora. Now.) My father demanded into the phone. I heard something on the other line and then he hung up.

I don't care what happens to Charlotte. She is dead to me.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"Spain honey. Madrid. Your plane went down about ten minutes from here. Luckily it went down in a mostly cleared area." My mom explains. I'm lucky to be alive.

"H-how am I alive?" I feel no major pains besides my head. The nurse gave me some painkillers for that while my family was talking. She's checking my vitals right now. She looks up at me and sighs.

"Well you have a major concussion. You may feel very dizzy and confused. You have a couple of broken ribs but they are very minor. You managed to keep safe on impact for the most part." The nurse says.

"You should rest Amora. Lucius and your father will deal with the traitor. You need sleep. The lights are dim in here because bright ones would hurt you." Leo coos. It's true, the lights are quite dimmer than usual.

I try to resist, but I don't really care. I might as well sleep while I'm in the hospital. Lucius weakly smiles at me and goes back to whispering with my dad.

We have a lot of unsolved feelings.
