HEART knows where HOME is

Part 67

Part 66

And just like that another day was closed with tears...but these day they were ones of hapiness...

Staring at the two rocks which looked like were laying on each-other...I released the bouqet of flowers that was on my hand on the ground in front of it and wiping that single tear that was left I stepped back to join my brother on his pray.

"We are together mom and dad...your last wish is fullfilled..we are a family again":-he said wiping some tears too while holding my hand. "And we love you both..so much too!":-I finished taking my brothers hand and leading the way back to the hospital I have been staying for over a month now.

Yes Chloe opened her first hospital and for the anouncement threw a big party and lemme tell you..it has been a big sucess...all her old clients are here now and even tho she already always loved her profession..I have never seen her this happy..and I myself couldnt be happier for he..she deserves it after all.

The next thing for my biggest surprise Brendon turned out to be a famous doctor too..and since from the accident he is a big feminist..he immediately accepted Chloes invitation to join her hospital and from the time he has started working here too they have been literally unseparatable.

On the other hand I have started my treatment..its not painful but still long and tiring just like professsor said.Talking about ms.Ludvig he was here for Chloes party and everyone could see the proud look on his face everytime a client aproached him talking about the miracles she has done on their lives.

"Laura?":-emily one of the nurses here said interrupting my thoughts. "Yes Emily?":-I asked turning back to look at her. "You have visitors":-she said before leaving making me sigh and turn back.Staring one more time towards the sea from the view of my balcony I gathered the ends of my blue uniform that the clients here wear and pushing the door with my weak strength(still not fuly healed) I closed it entering the big hall before taking a deep breath in between.

"Hey Laura!":-Joel a small kid which was a client here as well said showing his small teeth. "Hey Joel!":-I greated back on a cheery tone,ruffling his hair while passing by just like I always do making the small boy smile bigger.Joel had stage 3 cancer and at such a young age the doctors gave no hope for him to be able to survive but Chloe as always took the matter in her hands and just like always to other disbelief she did it to cure the boy leaving the others once again speechless.Now Joel was taking his last treatments before he will be ready to go back home.

"This way miss":-another nurse said opening the door before leading me to a table at the visitors room which was a the very end from where I could make up two figures sitted talking to each-other.As I got near I noticed that one of the was Brendon my brother while the other was still with his back turned to me.

"Brendon?":-I said not knowing what else to say:-"You asked to meet me?" "Not me actually":-Brendon said smiling before the other men in the oposite of him got up and turned facing me with a neutral face.

Silence

Ash????

What is he doing here?

"I will leave you two alone":-Brendon said before making his way out leaving only me and him in the room but not before squeezing my hand while whispering to me:-"If anything goes wromg or you feel uncomfortable just call my name and I will be here in seconds.Your not forced to have these conversation" Nodding at him I heard the door close and just in that motion I heard Ash say: "This way better":-before leading the way to outside where the wind made everything look chilly and relaxing and he damn knew I needed that. We stopped by the end of the garden that was build at the back of the hospital for the clients to spend some relaxing time out of those white walls.Again..one of Chloes genius ideas.

Ash didnt talk..instead he was just staring at me as if taking every small detail of how I looked right now...and I know for sure I look like a walking corpse but still his face holded nothing near disgusting...actually it holded admiration...and proudness..and hapiness..and fondness...and many other feelings...but all for good..all out of love.

He on the other side hadnt changed much.But still the bags under his eyes couldnt go unnoticed as well his slightly more grown beard together with the manshetes on the sleeves of his jacket letting me know he is back at leading the mafia.All in all he looked good...like always of course.

After spending some good time of staring at me just like me at him he looked up to meet my eyes and just like that since I have always found eye contact too intimidating I lowered my eyes staring at the ground as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.Why did I even follow him till here?Was it my mind who contionously reminded me that I owed him this much..or was it my heart who still was desparate for his love even tho we both know I dont deserve it?Regretting my decisions already at the edge I brought my eyes back to his still waiting for an reaction from him...but why does he always have to make the first move everytime.plus what if we become together...for sure the tomorrow is gonna bring something else to send one of us in an endless trip not enough to break our strong love but enough to damage our relationship..so whats the point at it..whats left?

Feeling the need to lower my eyes again from his heated gaze I wondered to myself how I never noticed how diferent was the look he gave me to the ones he gives to others.He is always looking at me in an adoring way but still it is enough to make me melt..while for te other part of the world he is a destryoing machine..and just to think that I have always been protected unde his wing getting the same place as his family...how did I deserve this?How did I deserve him?His love?

Watching as his lips edges curved to a smile I just stepped back..first his stare now his smile?I dont think my heart can handle it..so turning my back to him I started making my way back in slow steps hoping for him to say something and there it came ..the reaction I craved for just as much dessert craves for water. "Stay...":-I heard him say and if it wasnt for my heart craving for that word I dont think I would have heard it. Slightly turning towards him I just stared at his face as if silently asking for one more word from him to say. "Im sorry..my bad..I didnt introduce myself":-he said with a smile making me frown in confusion:-"My name is Asher..but you can call me Ash":-he ended stretching his hand still a smile graced on his lips..

Staring at him for a minute I lowered my eyes to his stretched hand..and smiling at it I stretched mine too making our hands join.

"Hello to you too...my name is Laura":-I said back looking at his eyes as we both felt in peace...for the first time...starting new.

THE END
