Lies

Chapter 52

Kagami

"Let go of me!" I try my best to pry my wrist from their grip.

"Not until you listen to me." He says.  

"I need you to hold on."  His tone low and desperate. 

"Fuck, I wanted this." The sound of need coming from his voice.

"Let's go I have one more thing to show you."  His voice soft and his touch gentle.

"Put me down!"  He picks me up once more.

"Did I tell you how ravishing you look tonight?" For a moment the person standing before me has color, but it's gone before I can tell the shade.

"It's going to be okay. I'm coming."  His voice makes everything better.

"Get on the bed." It's a command, but I'm confused.

Beep.

"Get away from me!"  I feel the weight in my hands swinging. Why am I swinging? What am I swinging?

Beep.

"I said shut up!"  He is angry and the feeling of his hands wrap around my neck cause me to fight.

I can't breathe.

Beep.

"Kagami are you okay? Can you hear me?" His voice was full of concern. I want him to know I'm alright. Is this him? The one who makes me feel safe?

Beep.

"What did you do to her?"  He yells, but I'm too tired to open my eyes. I can't see him.

Beep.

"No love, I need you to stay awake."  He's safe. He's so warm. All I can see are a pair of green eyes and they make me want to stay here forever.

Beep!

"Hi, Tsurugi."

Beep!

My throat is dry and I try so hard to swallow but it's like sandpaper. There is air flowing through my nose and my hands travel up to feel it. My body jerks forward, but something is pinning me down. I'm constricted and my heart starts to palpitate.

My hands shoot up into my view as I take in the plastic tube lodged into my vein by a needle. My hands move to the blanket draped over me and my eyes start to adjust to the room. It has floor to ceiling windows that allow the light from outside to shine in. The sun seems to be rising or setting, it's hard to tell.

I'm not sure whether to be grateful for the morning or evening. I'm trying to wrap my head around the situation I found myself in. I've been hit by this ginormous bus, but nothing is getting any better. It's hurting the more I'm awake. My body feels so weak and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed as to why.

I look around to see a chair with an egg white coat on it. It looks familiar but I'm not sure from where. Is it mine? The more I try to think about the owner of this coat my head begins to pound. My eyes feel as though they'll pop out of their sockets. The pulsing feeling behind them is excruciating.

Suddenly, a loud clang hits my ears and I turn my head to see where the noise came from. A pair of blue eyes lock onto mine and I see her run towards me from the doorway. Her arms wrap around me and her scent reminds me of a bakery.

That scent alone reminds me of who this person is. She lets go of me and pulls out her phone from her pocket. She dials a number and I hear the line pick up.

"Adrien! She's awake! She woke up!" She almost screams.

"I'll be right there." I hear him say.

"I didn't think you were ever going to wake up!" She cries into my shoulder. I feel a bit detached, but I place my hand on her back and pat it.

"There. There." I hoarsely say.

"I can't believe it. Adrien was saying how you were a fighter. He and I were here yesterday too." My body stiffens and I push away from Marinette.

"Why did you bring him here?" My head pounds more and I wince.

Marinette's smile fades, "Were you always wearing a necklace?" She shakes her head at the thought and then asks, "Are you okay?" Her worried expression causes me to shift uncomfortably.

My fingers trace around my neck to feel some type of cool metal against me. I feel small beads and long bars. I noticed that the number of beads aren't even with the number of bars and that causes me to wonder what it looks like. I put the thought to a halt when I feel my head pulse again.

"I'm fine. My head. My head hurts." I lay back down and close my eyes.

"I'll get someone for you." Before I can protest she hops out of the room and disappears.

It hasn't been five minutes and Marinette is already back with a lady in tow. The lady has scrubs on along with a nurse badge. She grabs my chart at the end of my bed and smiles at me.

"Hi Kagami, how are you feeling?" The nurse asks as she reads through the last few pages of what seems to be a chart.

"My eyes are hurting, my brain is expanding causing discomfort to my head, this nose piece isn't useful anymore, this IV is pinching my hand somehow and my throat is very dry." I stare at the needle that has fluid coursing through my body.

"I see, well I'm glad you can tell me what discomforts you. I called the doctor over so they will be here any minute. For now try to stay relaxed and I'll grab you some water." She smiles as she shuffles out.

I don't bother trying to stop her. In fact I don't want any company with how bad my head hurts. It's troubling, but the thoughts that roam in my head are where is my mother and how long have I been out?

Oof! It's been a minute.

You better buckle up buttercup because you're in for a ride!

Thank you again for reading and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it.

It took me a while to get through my writers block and find that inspiration again. I'm ready to see how you all handle it.

Thank you again for reading, sharing and commenting. It means so much!

I am working on something new, but it'll be a while before I post it. So if you enjoyed reading the heartbreak, thrill and banter, maybe you'll like the next one I'm writing. I will say it's not a miraculous fanfic.

Anyways, thank you again! <3
