NOW YOU KNOW

CHAPTER 27

*It's 4:30 p.m*
Amyra has gained a conscience. Christine went inside and spoke with her. Amyra was sitting leaning against the pillow with her channel, saline. She opened her oxygen mask. Christine came up to her and hugged her tight digging her face in her shoulder. Amyra hugged her back.

"I was so scared Amy," said Christine hugging her still.

*After some time*

"I know but lemme breath now please," said Amyra, fake coughing a few times.
Christine pulled back, "You are something. Oh god! What will I do with you!?"

"Nothing just cook some nice dinner when I get home"
They both smiled and giggled. They held each other's hands and looked at each other.

"Oh by the way did you get my text?" Asked Amyra.
"I was going to say that," said Christine.
They both talked about what they are gonna do in the meeting and how Christine has planned out things.

"Where are Emma and David?" Asked Amyra.
"Yeah they came but you were sleeping cause of sedation, they didn't bother to disturb you," said Christian.

Amyra is looking much better now but she has a lot of injuries. Her finger got fracture cause of too much friction with the handcuffs. Her wrists still have the marks and her skin has worn off so it needs time to recover. Her head is bandaged. She has cuts on her face. One hand is in the sling. She's looking so weak, still, she keeps her head up, the way she fought was enough to prove how strong she is. For 48 hours she didn't give up. She lay on the bed with a smile on her face and that's not a matter of joke.

"I love you, Amy. I would have died If I didn't find you in there"
"Sush! Please. Don't say that. I love you more. Oh did mon ask about me?" Amyra asked while eating from Christine's hand. They gave her food to eat so Christine was feeding her.

" Yeah she did, I just kept distracting her saying you got your phone lost and you are busy with work," said Christine looking at her.
"Mhm, I gotta catch up on her soon. I hate this hospital food. Ouch! God this head!"
" Oh! please sleep now and take a rest. I've disturbed you a lot."
"Yes, exactly why do you disturb me so much?!" Said Amyra sarcastically.

Christine nodded her head in disbelief. 'This girl'. She made the bed down with the remote as it's automatic. She planted a kiss on her forehead which was bandaged. Christine gave her a last look when Amyra dozed off into the pillows sleeping soundlessly.

*After 1 hour*
Amyra opened her eyes to see the white ceiling, the white lights dimmed on her. When she felt someone's head on her bed and hand on her wounded right hand, she adjusted her eyes to see Alex sleeping with his head on the side of the bed, sitting on the chair beside her.

Amyra's pov:
He looks like a tired warrior. With those eyes closed and lips slightly apart. I know Alex how much you were worried and terrified. He has healed something in me that he didn't break.

Amyra caressed his hair when he got up hurriedly thinking something happened to Amyra. He then saw her looking at him smiling with a small smile. He couldn't stop staring at her with concerned eyes. He came closer to her and caressed her face.

Alex's pov:
I was lost when you were lost. Amyra, you made me realize what love is. I was mistaken for a long time now. I have been in relationships before but never for once felt this way. I thought love was supposed to make you feel half, it wasn't worth getting your heart broken. It was good for nothing until I met you, until I saw you, touched you, listened to you, felt the want of you and the need when you were gone. Your beautiful soul, the way you look at me, your bravery everything is what I love. But no, even if you have nothing with you I'll love you anyways cause when you went missing every organ was screaming in pain, a pain which I never knew existed. I'll be glad to get my heart broken by you. Even if you don't love me back I'll happily be in one-sided love with you. But it's always going to be you.

"You're a strong woman! When you were not by my side. I felt a void, an emptiness as if a lot was missing from me. You're the missing piece to my puzzle, Amyra." Said Alex and kissed the wounds on her face, hands, her eyes, giving a peck on her lips. "you're so beautiful just like the moon. Prettiest when I see you so closely" he added as he was near her face and kissed her cheeks. Looked at her and sat down on the tool holding her hands. 

"I have so many wounds how am I so pretty to you"
" You are beautiful with all your scars, wounds, and all those places which haven't healed. I love you with everything that you have or nothing at all, I see you... I choose you always and forever."

Amyra smiled at him... "I love you too." She said and looked at him with her eyes which could barely be opened.

That's love you don't only love the beauty of the person, you take care of everything that's broken in the person. It's said that beauty lies in the eyes of the beloved. Love is the feeling, it's the pain that you wanna feel again that every person felt once in their life. Some changed their life, some CHANGED their life. That's the power of love.

These four humans were in love with each other without any reason. And when love comes with a reason it's when you know that you're using that person. When the reason is gone your feelings are also gone. But when you ask yourself why you love him/her and you get no answer. Know that you just love the person for whatever or whoever he or she is. Even if there is no reason to love you'll still do.

Alex stayed with her in the room still she fell asleep. He couldn't believe that she was right there in front of him holding his hands telling him please stay. But you should also remember that 'I love you' doesn't always mean that 'I'll stay'.

Alex's pov:
I'm gonna stay for you, by you, and with you always.
Alex was still in the room...
"Alex?" Called Amyra.
"Yes?"
"I think you should go home and take some rest.. the doctors are here and I'm gonna be just fine," said Amyra assuring him with her blink that she's gonna be fine.
He stood up, planted a kiss on her forehead looked at her once more before going out.

Christian came in ... Amyra was still wasn't asleep.
"How are you?"
"Haha, alive!"
"You have to be, we almost lost hope"
"I know"
"Must have been tough... But you two friends are so strong. Proud of you Amyra, get well soon" he said and caressed her face lightly.
"Wow, a compliment... Thank you"
He sat there for a while and then again said...

"I've never seen Alex go this mad"
"What do you mean?"
"When you went missing. I could feel the fire within him. We were accounted with men before reaching you. He single-handily killed 3 men without any weapon, I've never seen him this fierce. He was always this calm and quiet, thinking rationally kinda person but when it was almost 2 days. He lost control. You keep him sane. He loves you. He does. You are the safety pin to this bomb (referring to Alex)"
"Wow I never knew that"
"Now that you do, please take some rest and get well super soon. We need your presence in the office."

He gave her a last look and took his leave leaving Amyra in the room alone blushing and also wondering if, she is loved. The girl who was bullied in her school times is finally getting love and care from people.
