I tiptoe out of my hospital room and into Thomas's. I quietly close the door then sit beside my mate, sliding my hand into his. "Hi baby. I'm glad you're okay and I want to say thank you for saving me. I know that you would probably say that you would always save me because you love me but I want you to know something. Before I met you, I was a loner and people thought I was a freak because I was mute. Some thought I was an attention seeker and I was faking everything so I was told a lot of nasty things." Flashbacks start appearing in my mind:
Hey freak, where you going?!
Look it's Mute Girl!
What a loser!
She's such a loner!
Hey attention whore! Why don't you go kill yourself?!
I blink my eyes, trying to keep the tears out but it's too late. "I think that's one of the reasons why my parents moved to California; to get me away from those people. Mark found out and he went crazy but I guess I understand why, you'd probably do the same if someone was hurting Annie." He doesn't move an inch so I just keep talking, "I guess when I found you, I was able to forget about all that. With you, I wasn't worried about what people thought; I just loved that you didn't treat me any different. That's a reason why I fell in love with you."
"Hey, where's Sapphire?" I sigh, "Time's up, babe. I'll see you tomorrow night, I love you." I lean forward, pressing my lips to his forehead just before the door slams open, "Sapphire, you're supposed to be in bed." I look at Luke, "I just wanted to see him."
"Let's go." I sigh, about to let go of Thomas's hand but his suddenly grips onto mine. I gasp and Luke hurries over, "Well I'll be damned. He's starting to respond." I smile then bring his hand up to my lips, "Hi Thomas. I love you baby." He squeezes my hand then he slowly lets go. Luke wraps an arm around me, leading me over to my room, "It's good that you're getting up and moving around but you need to take it slow. You need to build up energy." He slides the table over to me with a plate of food on it, "Alex brought this over for you."
"Tell her I say thank you." He nods and before he leaves, I ask, "How long will he be out?"
"1 or 2 months. Only time will tell but we can't give up hope, he'll come back to us."
