Rosé POV
Jennie's eyes were roaming all over my face without saying a word. She probably has no idea what is going on and I don't want to scare her by immediately throwing myself around her. I tried my hardest to hold back tears, but they were already flowing from my eyes. I still had her face cupped between my hands as I was smiling through my tears from pure happiness that I was able just to look in her eyes again. A warm feeling slowly spread through my body and suppressed the coldness that had been there these couple of weeks.
''You came back to me.'' I smiled softly while wiping the tears out of my eyes.
Suddenly a frown appeared above Jennie's eyebrows as I saw panic slowly building up in her eyes. She swallowed thickly a couple of times and her mouth opened to just close again without forming a word.
I should probably get a doctor, but I couldn't seem to make myself go away from Jennie now that she's back. I've been too long without her.
''You're in the hospital honey, but you're going to be okay.'' I said softly and stroke my thumb over her cheek that seemed to be warmer than before.
The frown increased, but she didn't look around the room. She kept staring at me as I tried my hardest to stay strong for her. Suddenly I remembered the doctor saying something about possible brain damage and the fear of what is going on in Jennie's head right now triggered the worries within me. What if she doesn't know who I am? What if she can't talk?
I didn't realize I was tightening my grip on her face until she moved her head away from my clinging hands. I slowly shook my head while I forced tears back into my eyes. She's pulling away from me.
''Jennie please, can you say something?'' I asked with a slightly cracked voice. I didn't let go of her face even though I noticed she wanted me to. She was too weak to really move her head away from my touch and I sure as hell wasn't going to let her go. Not again.
She opened her mouth slightly and her tongue trailed over her lips that probably felt dry. I leaned closer to her when I heard a small gargle coming from her throat and saw her swallowing thickly.
''Who..'' She began and swallowed thickly again while taking a big gulp of air through her mouth. She still had wires through her nose from the breathing machine and she probably doesn't know why.
The warmth inside of me increased even more when I heard her voice again after such a long time. It was soft but I could hear the familiar husky tone that sounded even more raw than normal. I was so taking away from looking into her eyes and hearing her voice again, that I didn't even noticed what she just barely let out.
I saw her struggling to get something out again until she scraped her throat and stabbed me right in the heart with her next words.
''W-who are… y-y..''
I didn't let her finish that sentence, I can't take that right now. As soon as that warmth had spread through my body again, as soon as I felt the cold and darkness making its way back to my heart. I quickly leaned forward to close the remaining distance between us and pressed my lips on Jennie's. Her lips were still a bit parted because she was trying to finish the sentence that I didn't want to hear. I don't want to know that she doesn't know who I am, because I know it's not true.
