His Undying Love ✓

DAWN'S POV:

My head, it hurts. I tried to open my eyes but my eyes were just so tired. Where am I anyway? I tried again severally and finally succeeded. I opened my eyes and discovered I was in my room, lying on the bed. I managed to sit up, trying to recollect what happened. The last thing I remembered was having this terrible cramps and then there was a knock on my door, the rest was all a blur and my head hurts like hell.

I tried to get up from my bed when I saw two feet walk into the room, my head was facing down, staring at the feet. I slowly looked up to see who those belonged to and my breath got hitched in my lungs as I stared directly at those pool of brown orbs I've missed so much. How is this happening? Did I fall and hit my head so hard? Or did I die? Or was I dreaming or in some sort of trance or something? How can this be? So many questions running through my mind at the same time and he must have noticed and quickly dropped the tray he was holding and quickly sat beside me

"Deep breaths, deep breaths... Angel eyes, just calm down" I was trying to take deep breaths as he rubbed my back, trying to calm me down cause I almost had a panic attack just now "I know you have a lot of questions but I need you to calm down for me ok?" Looking into his eyes, I could see how worried he was but most especially I can see that this was real and that I wasn't dreaming

"A...ash?" My voice came out dry and raspy, gosh I'm parched "is...is it..it really...you?" Tears formed in my eyes hoping this wasn't a dream

"Yes Angel eyes, it's me" he smiled sadly, wiping the tear that has managed to escape my eye but that wasn't the end of it as more tears escaped. Soon I was bawling my eyes out, crying so hard as he hugged me. I can't believe he's alive, I was crying for the fact that I thought he was dead but turns out he wasn't but instead stayed away from me for so long but I was mostly crying because I'm happy he's alive.

After minutes of crying in each other's arms, I was too weak at this point. Coupled with the period cramps I was having, so Ash ran me a hot bath. While in the tub, I couldn't help the numerous questions that was swimming through my mind so I decided sitting in the tub wouldn't get me answers. I quickly finished bathing, changed into my up and down pyjamas went into the room. I met Ash placing food on the bed, he must have quickly whipped something up while I was bathing.

"Here, you should eat and gain your strength" I sat down, not saying anything and started eating. It was so delicious. He sat down next to me and just watched me eat "are you feeling better now? I hope James didn't hurt you much?" My head immediately snapped up, I had forgotten about James

"What happened to him? I can't remember...." I was trying to think when flashes of him pounding on my door hit me. He opened the door, I was confused as to why he'd barge in like that but also tried to explain that I was having dysmenorrhea but he slapped me hard and then tried to force himself on me. I gasped, closing my mouth with my hands, how can he do that to me "how...how can he do that to me?" I asked, scared

"Hey hey, it's okay, you're fine now. He can't hurt you anymore, I won't ever let him" he reassured "don't you remember him Angel eyes? James?"

"I've always gotten the feeling that I knew him from somewhere but he denied it when I asked him" I explained. Ash sighed, running his hand through his hair. Now that I look at him closely, he looked different. In the sense that he now had beards on his chin, not just slight stubble but full on, neatly trimmed beards which made him more manly and seductive. I was still ogling him when he cleared his throat, snapping me out of my thoughts

"James used to go to school with us when we were younger and he liked you back then. We always fought over you remember?" And that's when it hit me, I knew the guy. We were all friends when we were younger but he wanted us to be together and when I refused, he and Ash got into a huge fight which got him expelled and I didn't hear from him since
