If You're Fine, Then I'm Fine

Chapter Twenty-Two

Leanna's pov

So. Omen stabbed me, I am Leo's daughter, twins with Carlos, I am now dating Akia, and this has all happened in the span of three days. Not even.

Carlos sits next to me and Akia is laying next to me on the bed. The nurse left ages ago, but is three have just been crying since she left.

"I hated your mum before, but now, I hate her way more," Akia says, flipping her hands around angrily.

Carlos laughs, "Add me to that list. People who hate mine and Lea's mum. That feels so fucked up to say,"

Akia sits up to face Carlos, "You call her Lea?"

"Yeah, I hate saying Leanna because it's so long, and I've known her for ages. It feels right,"

"Can I call her that too,"

I smile under the white hospital blanket.

"Yeah, I mean you are her girlfriend, right?"

Akia smiles and looks down at me, then back up to Carlos, "Yep. We are,"

I feel myself slowly fade away. How is she so fucking adorable.

A silence floods the room, and like said many times, it's a good one. A calm peaceful silence.

We just lay, and Carlos sits. All is lovely until Carlos' phone buzzes.

"It's my dad. Our dad,"

I look over at him, "Don't tell him we know, I need to tell them myself. In person,"

"I won't don't worry," He smiles. He looks back at his phone, "It says, 'Come home I need you back here.' So I better go,"

I look at Akia then him again, "Do what you need, I'll be here for a while recovering,"

Akia and I say goodbye as he leaves like the others did. Shutting the door behind him gently.

"Wanna make out?" Akia smirks.

I look at her, with a sarcastic face, "Duh,"

I'll spare you the details. Let's just say it was fun.

After our amazing make out session we talk about our lives. We are each other's therapists.

Akia lays on my chest, "You know, I am kind of sad my dad is in jail, but he deserved it. He has killed at least one person I'm sure of, and there could be more,"

"Why would you be sad?" I ask.

"Well, he's my dad. I think I'll get over it really quick though,"

I smile at her. She looks upset, but I am so proud of her.

Another thought flicks through my head, "I should have told you this a while ago, but I dated Cora before you,"

"I know,"

"What?"

"It's really obvious. She was super awkward when I was around but when you talked about her, she seemed super excited to be around you. I had my suspicions,"

"Well I don't like her like that anymore,"

"I also know that,"

"Good,"

Akia squishes her head into my neck, kissing it lightly, "I love you Lea," She mumbles.

"I love you too," I mutter back, kissing her on her head.

"Can we just lay here?" She asks.

I snuggle up to her, "Of course,"

We lay. I look at the roof where some stickers are covering. I look to the wall with paintings that are hung up in every colour.

I want to cry, but not a sad cry, a happy cry. I want to run down that hill laughing with Akia for the first time again. I want to kiss her under the night sky for the first time again. I want to see her arrive at a party I invited her to for the first time again. Yet I can't. I wish I could replay everything she has made me feel. I wish my stomach could hurt the way it does every time I used to see her, but I can't anymore.

Besides all that sadness, it is worth it in the end. I want to cry with Akia, not alone anymore. I will never feel alone again.

I smile as nuzzle my head down into my pillow. A single tear drops from my eye, down my cheek and onto my shoulder.

I look around the room before my vision blurs. I rest my head back and I fall asleep. With my very own girlfriend laying on top of me. Woah. That is so cool to say.

My eyes flicker open. It's dark and the clock reads '11:52pm'.

The light from the hallway outside my room peaks out from under the door. I hear quiet whispering in the rooms next to us and outside the door.

I yawn to wake myself up a bit.

She wiggles awake, "Morning?"

"No babe, it's nighttime?"

"Woah,"

"Yep, we fell asleep,"

"No not at the time, you called me babe,"

"Oh yeah, yep to that too,"

"Cute,"

"I know I am,"

She laughs at me. Her smile could light up a room with ease.

I smile at her, "It's been crazy this past week,"

"Hell yeah it has. How are you feeling about all this?" She asks, nearing my face, "Like about my dad, and me and you, and you and Carlos,"

I smile, "Fine I guess," I near her face this time, "I'm glad we can get through it together,"

She kiss me. He soft lips on mine. Making out in the hospital again. A dream come true.

The moonlight shines over us. I feel amazing.

She releases from the kiss, taking a breath, just to say one last thing, "Well, if you're fine, then I'm fine,"
