Fallen angel

40.Madden-Present

There's something wrong with her.

I mean, yeah she is drugged but she seems like in pain.

Like she has a fever. She is shaking.

I pull over " Princess, what's wrong?" i ask her holding her head with my hand

She lift her hand.

Blood.

I start searching her for injuries and when i open the jacket she is wearing i see that she's stabbed on her shoulder, near the lungs.

That's why it was so easy. She was already wounded so the security was down.

She starts spitting blood.

Shit.Shit.Shit. How did i not notice?!

My instinct to wipe everything clean didn't kick in but a feeling of pure terror of losing her does.

I start the car immediately and drive as fast as the car goes to the hospital

"Madden..." she calls grumbling in pain

"We're almost there princess hang on."

"I...I love you. Just in case i don't get to say it again"

I've never cried in my life. But now, a tear slips down my cheek.

"I love you too, princess. More than my life. And don't say that. Talk to me. So you don't pass out."

" What do you want me to say?" she mumbles.

" Anything, what do you enjoy? Except for fighting. I know about that. Or what do you miss the most?"

A smile crosses her face "I love playing soccer. I'll miss playing soccer with my friends. I am homesick. I love racing with my oldest brother. I miss the school trips with my friends and being that carefree. They'll be sad if i go, won't they?"

"You aren't going anywhere, princess. If you do, then i'm coming with you."

I'll join my princess anywhere. If it's hell, then so be it.

"Dorian will be sad too. And Niko. Aria is too young to understand.What if she forgets me?" she sobs

I arrive at the hospital.

I take her in my arms and get her inside the hospital and doctors rush to us, taking her to a restricted area and escorting me to the waiting room

I call everyone and let them know about the situation and in 10 minutes, they're here.

Her mother is crying in Domenik's arms, Niko is mad which actually is quite rare.

Dorian seems like a piece of his soul is missing.

They are each other's protectors. That's why they have a close bond. Not in a million years would i understand other people's feelings before her.

She completes me and also matches me. Like a soulmate. I never believed in that but now i don't know what i believe.

If it makes her happy, i'll even learn her language. I have a high enough IQ to learn any language easily but her language is the most challenging thing ever. But i'll learn it so she can speak it with me, i can see how happy she is.

I'll even sell my soul to see that happiness again. This time i'll take her every week on a date. I'll even build a soccer field in the house she's supposed to stay in Thunder Bay. I'll take her on everything she likes, no matter that i hate socializing and people.
I'll take her on motorcycle rides and travel with her.

Small hands hug me. Octavia

"Hey." She says sounding sad "How you doing?"

"Good, Tavi." I lie

"You love her, don't you?"

"How do you know?" I ask

She does that smile " I know you better than anyone. To be honest I'm a little jealous." She says pouting

I pinch her cheek lightly "You are still my Tavi."

Her smile drops lightly "How is she doing?"

" I don't know, that's why I'm worried."

She hugs me again "It's going to be okay."

I hug my cousin back, seeking comfort for the first time in my life.

I never needed it.

I was always the soulless boy that everyone watched as an alien every time i entered the room. I was the obsessive one, who got mad at the tiniest details and was always locked in his room, or the bathroom, blocking any sound from his ears.

I know what people whispered about me

"He needs to be put away." "Weirdo" "Psychopath"

When all i ever wanted was to be left alone.

People have worse impulsive thoughts than mime and i'm weird for wanting to stay in peace.

Except for Octavia, nobody ever understood me perfectly until i met Myers.

From the moment i saw her, my world just... stopped

I never needed anyone so much that i'd consider death an option to join them.

Hope is the dumbest thing. It fills humans with delusions about the situation but right now, thats all i have.

Hugged to Octavia, i slowly fall asleep with my soul filled with dread
