Don't Leave Me

Chapter 34

"I never planned on leaving you Matteo.", I said. My voice came out just above a whisper but loud enough for him to here. Gazing around I realized I was laying in a hospital bed.

(A/N: If you haven't guess already.. yes we're back in Emilys POV🖤)

"You-you're awake. YOU ARE AWAKE.", Matteo screamed excitedly with a huge smile on his face. Staring at him I didn't miss his puffy red eyes that looked like he was crying just a second ago.

"Are you planning on looking at me the whole time or will you kiss me now?!", I asked with a demanding voice.
"Anything for you angel.", he answered and placed his lips softly on mine. Matteo kissed me gently as if he was scared to hurt me. One of my hands was still in his and my free hand made its way to his hair. Brushing through it he started to deepen the kiss causing me to smile a little.

After a few seconds he pulled away. His face remained a few inches away from mine. The hand that I brushed through his curls wandered to his cheek and my fingers traced his cheeks gently.

"Have you been crying?", I asked concerned. Matteos head fell and he looked at our intertwined hands.
"Maybe.", he whispered.
"Why? I'm fine.", I said with a frown on my face.
"You're badly injured. You almost died because of me and on top of that you've been out for a week. The doctor said you might not make it.", he mumbled still looking down.

"Hey, look at me.", I commanded him with a soft voice. Matteos eyes slowly went up to mine. As soon as our gazes connected my lips pulled up into a smile. "I chose to do that. It was not your fault. Please stop blaming yourself."
"It was. I am the reason you got hurt and had to suffer for two weeks now. That also means I brought you sadness and-"

"Stop it. You made me the happiest person on this planet the second you told me that you love me. That's all I wanted and needed to hear. Now shut up and don't ever say nonsense like that again.", I stated.
"Ok boss.", he answered causing us both to chuckle.

Suddenly the door of my hospital room swung open and a lot of voices filled the room. Pietro, Raffael, Cristian, Matteos parents, Sofia, Lukas and Amy entered the room. However they haven't noticed me being awake yet since all of them were having deep conversations.

Wait..Amy? What is she doing here in Italy? I thought she would move here in a couple of weeks.

"It's nice to see you all.", I spoke up with a grin on my face. Everyone turned their heads towards me. Shock and happiness was visible in their faces.

"Emily!", all of them screamed at the same time. Amy ran over to me and engulfed me into a tight hug.
"You're awake. I missed you so much. Don't you dare to ever do something like that again!", she warned me.
"I missed you too.", I giggled.

When she pulled away the others came over to me and hugged me one after the other. Giorgia didn't stop saying how worried everyone was and how glad she is that I made it through.

"Angel, you should rest.", Matteo stated while looking at me. Then he turned towards everyone else standing in the room. "This is probably too much for her. Me and two of you can stay. The rest should leave and come back tomorrow." His voice was full of concern.

"You're right. We're coming back tomorrow. Love you and take care!", Amy said pointing between her and Cristian. After giving me a hug they turned around to leave.
"See you another time, queen.", Cristian said before leaving the room.

Staring at his retreating figure confusion took over my face. I looked back to Matteo who was staring at me while scratching the back of his neck. What was that about?

"We'll come by another time too. Rest well.", Sofie said and dragged Pietro and Lukas outside. Lukas quickly wiggled out of her hold and ran to me.
"This will make you feel better.", he said and kissed my cheek.
"Thank you so much. I can already feel it.", I giggled and watched him running out of the room along with his parents.
