(I love her new album so much)

No more procrastinating, it's time to finally see them reunite ;)

————————————————————————

I knock three times.

One.

Two.

Three.

I wait, but no one answers the door.

I strum my fingers nervously against my thighs.

What if no one is home?

What if they realised they didn't want me anymore?

Every millisecond that I stood and stared at the closed door, my heart seemed to drum louder by the second.

My thoughts began to swim, and regret pools into my stomach.

They're my family, they would have missed me, wouldn't they?

Wouldn't they?

Wouldn't they?

The question echoes around in my mind.

What was I doing?

I was cold, covered in blood, and most likely had hypothermia.

I needed a doctor. I needed help.

But I also needed my family.

My breathing turns ragged.

I weakly lift up my arm again, and lightly knock once more.

This time, my knock does not go ignored.

The door is thrown open, and I take a step back.

"What? I heard you the first time-"

Marco quickly cuts himself off.

His arms fall to his side, limp, and he stares at me with astonishment.

We both don't move.

We stare at each other, our eyes locked in place.

Hazel colliding with blue.

"Marco?"

My voice quietly cracks as a tear falls down my cheek.

My eyes follow to his hand, and I watch as his index finger twitches.

When I raise my eyes back towards his, they're no longer on mine.

I watch as his eyes slowly find themselves on the physical evidence of the past two weeks I'd endured.

Every bruise, every cut, every drop of blood does not go unnoticed by him.

He looks at my uniform, ripped and stained, before his eyes rise back to mine.

"What did they do to you."

I step forward, and start to sob as he runs towards me.

"Oh, Angelina."

His arms wrap around my body, and I feel myself shake as he holds me close to him.
