Time passed, the oldest of the Jackson children are fourteen, Romeo still very close with them and Darling, today being Saturday, Romeo is spending the day with his mum, after Sol encourage them to talk, they've been close, his mum doesn't get many days off, but when she dose, it's souly dedicated to her beloved boy.
But that afternoon Darling got a devastating call, the Thomson's was in a car crash, Romeo is in circulation condition and his mum died on sight, Darling dropped everything to be by his side and stayed by his side even as he layed in a coma, his hole left side is broken in one way or another and there's swelling on the brain.
The doctor only gave him a 40% life expecting, so Darling was not leaving and no one dared move her, they tryed, even called security, which ended in a heathy fear for the Un-Della girl. Two weeks goes by before there's movement, Darling still by his side presses the button for a nurse and starts screaming
"HE'S WAKING! GET IN HERE!!"
As she repeatedly pressed the button without mercy, Romeo's first words are
"Sh..h..I..heard...you..I couldn't..leave...you.."
As Darling collapse on the foor in tears the nurse and doctor come rushing in and look over Romeo, after a moment Darling finally said
"You pice of shit scard me and like fuck your going anywhere without me, ass"
Romeo's now ruff voice saying softly
"You would follow..me in..to the darkness"
Darling snots as she stands saying
"Please darkness is scard of me!"
Doctor said as he step away from Darling
"Miss Jackson, Mr Thomas, you are out of the woods. He will need physical therapy, we can talk later"
The doctor leaves the room with the nurse in toe as Darling takes Romeo hand rubbing circles with her thumb saying
"Can I get you something"
Romeo saying softly
"I now mums dead"
Darling breath catches and all she can do is node after a moment Romeo said
"I'm still tied, lay with me"
Very carefully she hoped into the right side of the bed as Romeo layed his head ontop of Darling's head and fell asleep. The next morning he was greeted by Mundane saying
"Hello little human"
Romeo hmms saying
"You got Darling to go to school?"
Mundane node's saying
"Really easy now things aren't touch and go"
Romeo giggles saying
"Yep you throw her through a portal!"
Mundane wicked smirks saying
"Be careful you sound like us human"
Romeo just rolled his eyes as he eat the Benton box Mundane brought, after he finished the bento Romeo said softly
"Give my thanks to momma angel"
Mundane
"Can do"
Mundane leaving shortly after and so dose the weeks, Romeo slipping into depression, now refusing visitors and physical therapy, Darling has had enough of this blind self pity as she entered the hospital room where Romeo refuses to leave his bed, Darling locks the door behind her walking over to the bed, pushing him out of it and to the floor ungracefully hitting the ground, dam the wounds he still has and will get, there in a hospital they can fix him, but apparently not his mind, he doesn't have a chance to ask as Darling yelled at him
"MY SISTER IS RIGHT YOUR NOTHING BUT A PUSSY!
LIFE DOESN'T GO YOUR WAY SO WHAT YOU LAY ON THE FLOOR AND PLAY DEAD!!"
Romeo yelled back
"WHAT YOU WON'T FROM ME!
I'LL NEVER WALK AND EVEN IF I DID WHAT THEN HUH?! IT WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A HERO!!"
Darling yelled back
"YOU WEEK PICE OF SHIT!!
IM UN-DELLA HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ME SIT ON THE FLOOR CRYING LIKE A BITCH?! NO!!"
Everything go's quite esept both there crying Darling puts a walking stick next to him saying softly
"For when your balls grows back"
And just like that she leaves him there crying on the floor, she doesn't return or hear from him, it breaks her heart as days past, but she stays strong. For the next three weeks it's silent till she gets a call from a nurse saying
"Everything is ok with Mr Thomas, but could you come at your earliest convenience?"
Darling at school, but doesn't care standing and run out of the class, out off the school and towards the hospital saying firmly
"I'll be there in 15 minutes"
As she entered Romeo's room, he's sitting on the bed waiting for her, before she can pass the door he said
"Wait"
Darling stops with baited breath as Romeo slowly stands with the help of the walking stick Darling gifted him and slowly he made his way to Darling stopping infront of her saying softly
"Dont give up on me yet, but I may ask to much from you"
Darling breath catches as tears roll down her face saying
"You could never, just don't give up on yourself..please"
Romeo leans forward as Darling close the destens as they kiss, there first, a soft and gentle one, but full of feeling. Darling gently takes his arm leading him to the bed, once seated Darling asks
"So drop the other shoe"
Romeo giggles saying
"I'm going to live with my uncle"
Pulling out his mother's wedding ring a beautiful emerald cut diamond ring
on a chain before contues saying
"This is for you, I'm going to marry you Darling. I'll come back, Raven won't me to skip next year entry to Jank's, so the year after, what should be your year, I'll come back and propose proply. But can you wait for me?"
Darling node's saying
"All you had to say was we have a tomorrow together and I wouldn't of budge from your side"
Romeo smiled putting the necklace on her saying
"My uncle is tied up with work, I can leave when I'm ready, but I got to keep up with the therapy, both physically and mentally"
Darling smirks saying
"Momma will take you of course, but family dinner first"
Romeo node's saying
"Thank you for the walking stick it's amazing"
The said walking stick Darling had hand made, it is plain with a ball at the top for your palm to cress, but it also changes to nunchucks, tonfa or two fighting sticks all made from a Della proof metal, Byt.
Byt is a Russian word for this indestructible Della proof metal, lite as a feather, the thicker the metal the more indescribable it is, plybul in its raw form but once formed its conceded indescribable.
The next night they have a bustling dinner full of banter and love, it was a wonderful night. But it's now time to say goodbye to Romeo, a simple kiss and see you soon are shard between them before Lexei opens a portal for Romeo.
