American Assassin | Completed

Chapter 17: Meant To Be

A minute passed. Still no heartbeat could be heard, listening to your chest.

Mitch and Hurley were doing everything they could until Irene came with the ambulance. Before they came, Mitch had been fighting for your life, punching your chest and calling out your name, hoping to get a response.

The way you had gotten in those cells, at that hideous place wasn't important to him. The important thing was not going through the same pain he had once experienced, the loss of a loved one. But this love between the two of you is the one you have never experienced before.

Mitch was hoping that this knife wouldn't take away your life, like the previous one had tried, when you tried to take away your own life.

▪️Mitch's P. O. V.

At this point, I forgot everything, how we met, how we got in the base, why or when... I forgot everything. Anxiety started kicking in with a little bit of a panic attack, but I had to pull myself together. For her. For Yn.

If I lose her, I'll lose myself forever. I will lose humanity. I can't let this happen. I watched the ambulance in a rush, taking her away from me. I begged them to let me come and they let Irene, Hurley and me come with them.

Hours passed. This fight for her life lasted for hours. Can you imagine 6 hours thinking whether you will get to hug someone you love or not? Love... Yes... At this point I figured I loved her, or a better term would be "in love".

Dr. House came to the hall we were waiting in. He approached us. "You are here for Yn, right?" "Yes, is she okay?" I answered immediately. "This was a tough fight, but Yn is way tougher. She will be okay. Let her rest now, go home, and come back tomorrow to see her. It will be the best for her now to just rest."

As he said "go home" I immediately remembered the last time I left her alone in a room. A guy came in to try to kill her with a pillow.

"Oh, the hell no. I'm not leaving her again. I'll stay the whole night here, she will rest but with me sitting beside her watching on her." I said. "Alright, you can stay, but don't wake her up." Dr. said and walked away.

Irene and Hurley stayed for the info and went to search for some answers. I trust them, I'm sure they will find out what happened.

I walked to Yn's room and as I grabbed the door handle, I started getting dizzy. My legs betrayed me. I fell on my knees, and suddenly started getting back flashes. There was a guy standing in front of our cells.

Jensen.

Jared's brother.

I stood up, and called Irene to tell her the name. She knew what to do from that point so I came in Yn's room.

She was so pale, but she survived.

Her lips were dry, black circles formed around her eyes, but she survived.

That's my girl.

I figured I was standing for few minutes so I found a chair and sat down beside her. I held her cold hand.

She looked so innocent and beautiful, like an ordinary girl that got in the accident. But quite opposite happened. This isn't an accident. This goes way deeper.

Yn looked like she could hear me, even if she's dreaming. I had some words on my mind that I had to let out.

"Yn...You survived the loss of your parents... You survived that terrible day in Ibiza... You survived many trainings and my lash outs... You survived many nightmares, and also the ones I had... You survived that night we drowned ourselves in bourbon... You survived when you wanted to end it... You survived now... You are a survivor. I can't even explain to you how much I'm proud of you... of us. Look us where we've got. Yes we could have died a couple of times, but we are still together. Fighting some crappy sons of bitches... The thing is, when you decide to keep fighting, you don't just save yourself, you save me, too. I can't go on without you... And there's not a thing, past or present that I'd put in front of you, I lov-"

" Stop, or I will begin to cry like a baby. " Yn whispered, waking up. She was weak, but she smiled.

" Yn... No, don't move. You need to rest. " I said as I placed my hand on her cheek." Sudden change of topic? Good move. " She said sarcastically." I know you heard everything. " I began to blush." Yes I did and... I love you too, Mitch."

Did I hear it right? She loves me... What is there to love? What can she possibly love about me? I got her into all of this. And everything after that sentence of hers, made me believe that she really is in love with me.

" Mitch... I feel like we were meant to meet each other, even if it was painful. We couldn't have fought it on our own, if we hadn't met that day. Yes, I am a survivor, but I am that because of you." A tear dropped down as she said that.

She made me tear up.

Suddenly my phone rang.

Irene.

"You will be so shocked by the thing I'm about to say to you. We have to act now! "
