Chapter 3

Chapter Three

     I only saw those beautiful gray eyes the second the room was quiet again. And when it was, I saw him exactly how I always saw him. And there's this electricity feeling going on inside me that I cannot explain. And here he is after the mess we've both been through. And I actually saw something I wanted to see. An absolute divine blessing of his haven for me. And that was something you can't find anywhere. It's innocent and immortal.

   I guess there's always been something I been wanting for a long time. I wanted to fill in this empty space. And it's the space had Noah filling in for the moment. And of course, I know now that empty space no longer needs a void. It's Christopher it was meant for. I've always been in love with my stepbrother. And I'm sure everyone can call me crazy. But I still have to hold back a bit.

    The last time I saw Christopher we were making out in the pouring rain and surrounded by the smoke, the flames coming from the apartment building we came out of that Noah started. And then I realized while the adrenaline took a long time to check in, and immediately, I collapsed, blacking out slowly in Christopher's arms. And now I want to know where we stand for sure. And I think he does too. We need to talk about what we want from each other. And if we do start a relationship it'll be strange and new for us because we always had to hide behind closed doors. But this time, everyone would see us. It would be open. The way I always wanted it to be. But since dad accepts it, it's not going to be a problem. At least I don't think it is.

   "So I'm glad to see your awake. How are you doing?" Christopher lightly asked me, and he had his eyes focused just on me, and he walked closer being right by the foot of the hospital bed.

    He looked like as how I last saw him. His gray eyes were burning into my soul. And all I could think of was wonder with fear of I didn't step in front of him he might be the one lying in this hospital bed or even dead. And I'm beyond fearless of what I did. And losing Christopher has always been a major concern for me.

    "I'm quite all sore. But other than that, I'm doing okay. But, are you okay?" I said, and I decided to smile in direct at him, and he walked closer by me.

   "Your the one who got shot and had a surgery done. And you almost died in my arms. And your asking me if I'm okay?" He chuckled, his arms folded.

    I couldn't help but laugh with him and we both broke into a fit of laughter. And I have thought about how much he has the power to make me smile and make me laugh. This is the real us. And I never even knew it.

   "You know, I don't think I've ever been so scared of anything in my life as much as this." Christopher admitted, and he decided to take the chair that was next to the bed, and he had his eyes just gazing at me.

   I reached my hand out for him. "But I'm okay now. I'm alive and well."

   "Yeah, but you have to promise me you won't ever do anything like that again. It's my job to protect you. Not the other way around." He said.

   "I promise." I nodded.

       He sort of relaxed into the chair but he was closer by me, and I had stared right at him, seeing how much I missed for time not being able to do this all the time. And maybe I wanted to always be close to Christopher. No matter what. I had held his hand, and I sort of missed this attachment while I was too busy dating Noah for those long months that felt like forever. We were bad for each other. And everyone in my life could see that. But I didn't listen. And now that that cycle of a relationship is done and finished, I can start with my own passion realizing he was in front of me this time. The one I always wanted to be from the start.
