Her Name Was Meloni

holy mother

"Breathe, Loni!"
Why? Why does she have to be apart of my life? We were fine without her.

"Loni. Baby. I need you to take deep breath." A voice called to me.

Deep breath?

I tried to suck in a breath but my body is rejecting any ounce of air.

The sudden feel of warmth all around me caught my attention. My eyes were still blurry but as I looked around me I watched as my friends stood around me, I couldn't see there faces but I could feel there worry.

I could feel the myself calming down as I relaxed in the warmth. A sudden breathe on my ear had a shiver pull up my spine. "Hey."

That voice...why is that voice so familiar?

"Kid, you can let go of her now. Still my brother girl." Said a voice farther away. With that snarky ass tone, I already knew that was Mike. But the other one...

"Not until she responds. That's how we know she's back." Said the familiar voice. It was male. Soft. And had a bit of an accent.

Nando.

As my body began to relax I began to come to more and more and I realized that I was being held by someone. The warmth I felt was me being wrapped up in someone's arms. And the reason I felt a breath on my ear is because he was literally talking or whispering in my ear.

Though my body was exhausted, my kind almost triggered a whole other attack. I'm being held by someone who is not Tate. This feels very inappropriate. But I didn't have any fight any me.

"Mi amor, can you say something?" A more feline voice said. I followed that voice to a very blurry looking Becks. I tried to give her a smile as best I could.

"I'm ok." I croaked out.

I could feel and hear everyone visibly relax. Nandos hold on me began to loosing but he hadn't let go yet.

I could feel Nando shift under me and suddenly he began to pull me up. Once I was up, he turned me toward him with my back facing the others. "Stay focus on me. Give you eyes time to adjust back to normal. If you try to focus on too many things a once it'll take them longer to get back to normal. So just focus on me til you feel there back to normal." He said and I nodded as I blinked and kept my gaze on him.

I began to focus on his very blurry features. The more I focused and blinked the clearer it got. His blurry lips began to become more plum and full. His eyes went from to black dots to deep brown pools and I never noticed the mole right below his left eye.

"Better?" He asked as he wiped my cheek. And at that moment I had realized that I was crying the whole time. I hadnt realized he was wiping away my tears either. You'd think I'd recognize a man touching my face.

I nodded my head. "Better." Before he could get another word out, someone pulled me from him and wrapped me into there arms. And as soon as my head hit there shoulders I knew who it was.

"You bitch. What was that? I though the heart transplant was supposed to help? Are you ok? Should we call your doctor?" I could hear the fear in Becks voice as she spoke, and I never felt so bad in my life.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I think I had a panic attack and with my body still trying to get used to the new heart....I dont know...I'm just....I'm sorry." I said.

She pulled away from me and began to look me over. "Maybe we should call Doc?" She said.

Before I could protest, Mike cut in. "Listen here, Meloni. We are not doing the shit you did last year. The 'im ok but I'm really not'. Yeah, that shit, not flying. Your the one who decided to befriend the woman I love, date one of my brothers, and become a honorary sister to the other. Get your scrawny little ass in the car now. It's not up for debate." I know I should be offended but I couldn't help the little smile that fell on my lips. I couldn't help but think that this is his way of saying he gave a shit about me.

I just nodded and Becks began to pull me in the car. Then my eyes met Nando, and before I said anything Mike cut me off again.

"And you, get your ass in the car too. I've got some questions for you." Mike said to Nando. For a moment Nando was hesitant but he began to make his way to the car. He was making his way to the back seat but Mike stopped.

"Nah, big boy. Front seat. Ladies in the back." He said.

My eyes met Becks and I could see the same alarm in her eye that I knew were in mine.

Holy mother of god but this was gonna be one awkward ride.
