(December)
,,Happy Birthday, amore.", I looked at her, holding the present in my hands.
Not moving. She's not moving.
Half a year she's been in a coma.
,,I can't do this, love. Half a year. It has been half a fucking year and you still didn't wake up. I thought we could spend your first birthday here together. I think that won't work.", my voice got quieter and quieter with ever word I spelled.
The door of the hospital room opened and the nurse looked at me. As I gave her a look that now is not the right time, she closed the door and went out again.
,,I got you a bracelet and a new dress. Maybe you can wear it after you wake up again, amore. The bracelet says my and your name. I hope you like it.", my eyes wandered around her body, still laying in the same position, connected to the same amount of monitors as they were 4 months ago.
I opened the black velvet box and took the bracelet out. I looked at it one more time before clipping it to her wrist. She didn't move nor did she do anything.
Nothing. I stood there in silence, doing absolutely nothing.
Minutes later if the painful silence in Thai disgusting room. I began talking.
,,This is probably the dumbest thing I'll ever do, because you can't even hear me, but maybe it helps. So amore, where should I start. We got your father, and his team too. We needed about three months to find them all and kill them. We still don't know what to do with your father, 'cause maybe you want to see him, what I think is not so, but we'll see. Also one of the better things, we got your mother, love. She's in the mansion, and she's staying in your room. We made sure we cleaned up everything and your things are all in my room.", my eyes started to water at the thought of her not being home, and that already since half a year.
I only realized it now how lang it had been.
,,Why can't you just wake up?! Please. Please amore.", I kneeled in front of her bed and looked at her closed eye lids.
,,Please.", I sobbed like a mess. ,, Mi dispiace averti lasciato andare con me e che siamo in questa situazione in questo momento. Mi dispiace per tutto quello che ho fatto. Farò tutto quello che serve, ma per favore, per favore, torna in questo mondo. Ti amo. Non puoi semplicemente lasciarmi.", I took her hand into mine and rubbed it slowly. (I'm sorry I let you go with me and that we are in this situation right now. I'm sorry for everything I did. I'll do anything what it takes, but please, please get back to this world. I love you. You can't just leave me.)
,,Can I come in?", someone asked from outside. ,,Yeah.", I replied shortly.
Matteo opened the door, came in and closed it again. ,,Oh my fucking god.", he looked shocked as he saw her lying on that damn fucking bed.
,,Mhm.", I hummed, seeing her like that for already 6 months. ,,Happy Birthday, pretty girl.", he also congratulated her and laid something on the desk beside the bed she was laying on.
I didn't move nor did I say anything. I just went silence. Like I'm in a "Do not disturb" mode.
,,Gianna came here with us. She wanted to see V. Can she come in?", he asked after for some minutes of us doing nothing and accepting what's happening with Valerie.
,,Yeah, just give me some seconds.", I stood up and pressed a kiss on the forehead of Valerie. ,,Please do it for me, amore.", I whispered into her ear, literally begging for it.
,,She can come in", I looked over to Matteo and he nodded.
After he walked out, he came a few minutes later back with Gianna.
She looked at her daughter, then back at me and then again at Valerie, her eyes glistening at the sight of her child laying in a hospital bed, looking half dead.
I should not think about that.
,,Oh my Valerie.", her Italian accent coming to the fore. ,,She will wake up, right?", she looked helplessly at me and then at Matteo with tears in her eyes. ,,Ma'am I'm sorry to tell you, but the doctors don't know. She can but maybe she won't make it.", I answered, trying not to burst into tears.
She nodded and cried further, not saying anything.
,,Buon compleanno piccola mia.", she whispered to her and sat onto the chair right behind her. (Happy Birthday my baby.)
,,The bracelet and the dress are really beautiful, Lucas.", she smiled through tears at me. ,,Grazie. I tried my best.", I looked at her and smiled. (Thank you.)
It would be more beautiful if she was awake now.
,,Ma'am we should get going now. I think Boss wants a little bit time alone.", Matteo stood up and looked into the direction of Gianna.
,,Oh yeas, right.", she stood up and wiped her tears away. If I could do that so easily.
She walked to me and hugged me right. As she hugged me, she whispered something into my ear. ,,You're a good boy, Lucas. Take care of her, please.", and broke the hug, walking with Matteo away.
,,Matteo?", I could ask before they were completely out of the room. ,,Yes sir.", he looked questioning at me. ,,Please look after Amanda when you're home. Call Athena, I think she'll love it when she can take care of kids okay? I'll be for the next hours here.", my tone got sadder as I looked at her.
,,Will do.", he replied and walked with Gianna away.
I sighed and sat back on the chair. ,,Back to where I stopped. I'll make the cake we made on that night together. You remember? The night where we got drunk and you were so horny, we made love all the time.", I chuckled at the thought of that night I'll never forget.
I hope we make more nights like that. It's not about the sex I want to have, we'll not most of it, but because of the time we spend together or we laugh with each other.
I never thought I would get obsessed over a girl like I am right now about Valerie.
,,I want to make that cake since today is your birthday.", I talked further.
She can't hear you, silly.
————————————————————————
I went on and on, talking about the most random things that had happened in the last 6 months.
It's like I was talking to hear, but she was actually listening.
But when I stopped talking and realized, she can't hear me, I muted myself.
,,Maybe I'll find the recipe of the cake.", I chuckled to myself as I stood up, grabbed my things and walked to her.
,,I love you, amore.", I whispered and kissed her on the cheek before walking out of the room and into my car outside the hospital.
I'll find the recipe.
I'll make sure about that, amore.
