Waiting

SONG FOR THE CHAPTER:  It'll be okay - Shawn Mendes

It's been a week, i've spent the 90% of my time here, when i'm not here i'm either changing clothes, taking a shower or eating, i got cleared out 3 days ago and since then i've been sleeping in his room, in a chair holding his hand or in the bed next to him, just in case he woke up.

this week has been the longest one in my life, not knowing if i'll ever hear his voice again, feel his hands on me or simply taste his lips once more, it's killing me; his parents come here for hours each day, daxton and cosme come early in the morning and nix with vicenzo come late at night, my parents are taking care of the empire right now, i don't know what i'd do without them.

each day that goes by i loose a bit of hope, the first day his doctor told us to not get our hopes up because he just had a 15% posibility of regaining conciousness, i know it's like telling us he's dead with out telling us, it's not having any closure, unless we unplug him he won't be able to change anything, so yesterday we decided to unplug him, and we did it in the night, he's been unpluged since then, his vitals are still the same, everything is still the same and i couldn't be more frustrated because i don't have either the closure of knowing he died nor him here with me and knowing the only thing i can do is wait, couldn't be worse.

The clock strikes the 10 in the morning, i'm half asleep and half awake, i turn around to face cyrus, his eyes are still closed, i kiss him and nuzle my head in his chest a few seconds before moving back and lay next to him with my eyes closed as well; That's when i feel his arm around my neck and his cold lips touching my forehead.

I thought this was a dream until i hear him say "hey", astonished i open my eyes and look at him, "Holy shit!!!!, you're awake"i say, without any notice i kiss him, i kiss him like this could be the last time, with so much love and passion.

A few minutes go by and i'm still kissing him, surprised that he's awake, then i brake the kiss and look at him straight in the eyes, "You scared me asshole!!" i say, he puts a strand of hair in the back of my ear and replies "well, i'm naturally terrifying" before chuckling, "that's definitely not true" i say, "of course it is. I read it on wikipedia" he answers and we both laugh until he winces in pain, "please stop getting shot, it stresses me out" i tell him before i sit up and get out of the bed, "Oh, well if you don't like it" he says and i walk out of the room to go look for his doctor.

while his doctor is explaining to him all that happened and getting rid of some of the machines i call everyone to tell them he's awake, his mom screams of excitement in the phone as well as nix, not even half an hour later everyone arrives, his mom hugs him to the point of almost suffocating him, his dad gives him a hug and a kiss but i never saw coming what nix did, she slapped him across the face and then hug him. "the slap is for having us all waiting here for you and also for worrying draven out of her mind you idiot" she tells him, he looks at me and i can tell i'm blushing.

"you were worried?" he asks me, "of course i was worried, i care about you blondie" i tell him, he then ask everyone to leave us alone in the room, and they do, i go sit down next to him in the bed; "I'm sorry amore" he says, "there's nothing to be sorry for" i tell him but he cuts me short saying "there is, what happened with veronica was all a misunderstanding, i was showing her your office when we heard steps she pushed me to the sofa and got on top of me, i never consented and i would've never make a move on her or anyone else for the matter, as soon as you closed the door i pushed her back and kick her out of the house, i understand why you are mad at me i would be too but i just wanted you to know my side of the story", "Your mom talked with me you know, she told me what happened, i just wanted to be alone for some time, and to see if you would do anything about it, and you did, by the way thank you for helping me with my anxiety the other day, and basically for saving my life, you didn't have to do that" i tell him, he then moves closer and hugs me before saying "i didn't had to but i wanted to, and i would do it again because you're mine and i love you even if you're mad at me".

A few days later he is relised and we go back home, he still has a bit of trouble walking so i wheel him out in a wheelchair and we drive back home, once we open the door i see someone i've never seen, but apparently cyrus knows him because he stands up and practically runs up to him, and the guy hugs him as if they haven't seen each other in years, the only thing i need to do is clear my throat for cyrus to acknowledge my existence; "sorry amore, this is jason my best friend and jason this is draven my wife" cyrus says introducing us, at the mention of the word wife jason looks surprised, i figured cyrus was a fuck boy but i never thought he was that much so that his best friend would be surprised that he's married.

"I'm hurt man, you didn't invited me to your wedding" jason says, "I know man and i'm sorry but it was kind of a surprise for everyone, we only had like a month to get ready" cyrus tells him, "plus it's not like he had any other choice you know" i say and they both look at me before laughing, "Even if i had i would've done the same thing i did" cyrus says before pulling me in for a hug and kissing me, hearing  his friend making repulsive noises is enough for us to break the kiss, "get a room you two, there's children here" he says, "there isn't, you know i'm already 18 right " nix says from behind of him, cyrus and i laugh but i notice how jason scans nix up and down, if i didn't knew any better i would think he likes her, i look back at vicenzo who's trying not to make an angry face, but instead he's making the funniest look i've ever seen.

"let's go eat i'm famished" i say walking with cyrus to the dinning room.

We spent the rest of the day talking, laughing and getting to know jason, by now i know they met when they were little, jason is 2 years older than cyrus, he's the son of a smaller gang in mykonos, their parents are friends, he has a younger brother and a younger sister, he likes bikes and cars and he's also very funny, they seemed like they hadn't seen each other in years and it's true, the last time they saw each other was 5 years ago, that explains why jason stared at nix, the last time he saw her she was still a kid.

At the end of the day we give jason a room to stay in, the one next to nix, i also encourage cyrus to make plans for tomorrow, i just hate seeing him sad and trapped inside the house, we go back to our old room, and now i'm sitting in the edge of the bed thinking about all that happend, i just can't belive he is dead, like dead dead you know but i guess he is and that gives me a certain feeling of peace.

Cyrus is asleep behind me, he's been for the past two hours.... it's midnight, before i could lay back down in bed i feel a kiss right under my shoulder..... i've missed this so damn much.

I look back and it's still hard for me to belive this is not a dream, that he's back, that we are back.
