The mute witness

Chapter eight

Avalon (Harley)'s POV

~a couple days later~

He's going to be okay. He's going to be okay. He's going to be okay. He. Is. Going. To. Be. Okay.

I feel a tear going down my face but I don't wipe it. My stomach aches from the bad feeling inside. I cannot shake it from when I followed him.

I end up feeling dizzy from unknowingly pacing, and end up laying down on my bed.

It's been a couple of days since I rushed Zsolt to the hospital and he's been unconscious the whole time. It's a very hard sight, that's why I'm home right now, I can't see it anymore. It's just too hard. Seeing him how he is. The smell, all the noises, footsteps, beeping. It all hurts my head.

Then my exhaustion sets in.
...

When I wake up later in the day, I have a feeling that something will change and I don't know if it's good or bad, so I get up and get the car keys and drive to the hospital

The drive is as peaceful as I can make it, I need that peace if I'm going back to the hospital.

Walking through the doors, I make my way to his room and sit in the chair I have spent so much time in already.

I say a small, almost silent prayer. I am not religious and I have never prayed in my life, but I don't know what else to do. I feel tears falling down my face as I say this prayer. "Whoever may be listening, please let him be okay, I don't know if I can loose another person. I need him. I need help. and I know it's selfish to ask for so much, but I need you, mon Ange" I whisper and put our hands together and hold tight.

I hear a little chuckle before I hear a weak "mon ange?" From the boy in front of me. I can't help myself, I press a soft kiss on his lips. I see his eyes when we break from each other "what was that for, hummingbird?" He asked, his voice still weak

"I thought you were gone" I shakily signed as he tried to sit back up and his vitals went berserk and I helped him with a soft hand at his back and I move to sit on the foot of the bed so it's easier to see each other

"I would never leave you, hummingbird," he said, taking my hand. "I could never."

I feel another tear fall and hear footsteps coming to the room.

The door opens after a knock not long after " hello, I am Dr. Cortez and I have been keeping an eye on you for the duration of your stay. I just have a couple of questions for you now that your awake, if you are not up to it at this moment, I can come back soon, it is totally up to you, Zsolt"

"I'm up to it, Dr." He said after clenching his stomach

"Okay, may I ask you to leave the room while I ask him these questions sweetie?" She asked me and I just shook my head and stood up to leave the room, closing the door behind me. I feel sick anyway.

~Zsolts POV~

These 'few questions are going to be the death of me. I've been sitting here for an hour, answering questions

"Dr. I-I can't answer any more questions, not right now anyway, can we finish this up later?"

"Actually, no because I just asked you the last one I needed, thank you for answering, and I'm so sorry for what you've gone through." She said with a smile and grabbing her clipboard, she exited the room.

"Thank you." I never know what to say to that, so I've learned to just say thank you. I turn to look at the door and I see a familiar, gorgeous face and I cant help the smile on my face.

"So, when did you wake up?" she asked, walking back to the chair she was in earlier.

"Not long after you got here, I heard whispering and felt your hand, I just wanted that for a minute, but I couldn't contain myself when you said "mon ange", by the way, we need to talk about that you know," I explained myself.
