The Darker Side Of Fantasy: Chapter I

PART 41: OTHER SIDE

CHRIS'S POV

When she told me that she had been with Tony I was just so furious and angry that she could do this. I know I've also done bad things that I've told Amelia and I used to such a bad and evil person before but I've changed. All I could do is take my time and process everything that she just told me...just to get back at me. I know I should have been there for her but instead I didn't and I ignored her and didn't want to even be around her.

"Listen...please I don't want to talk about this now...I have a headache and I'm really tired." I say heavily sighing

"Fine. Let's rather just let things be." she says crossing her arms

"I'm going upstairs to go get some blankets and stuff..." she says leaving

"Okay." I nod my head

A few minutes later she comes with blankets and sheets for the both of us to sit by the fire place and warm ourselves up.

"The upstairs rooms are freezing cold so there's no heater there or anything...I think we should both just sleep downstairs since it's so cold there. It's the only place that's warm." she says

I then help her with moving some of the couches and make space to put the blankets and everything as well as the mattresses on the floor. We both place it near the fire place but not to close and then we make sure we locked up everywhere.

"If we are going to stay here, then I suppose tomorrow I'm gonna have to go out and get some groceries since there's hardly actually food in this house." I tell her

"Okay." she says

"Amelia?" I say

"Yes?" she says looking at me

"I'm sorry about earlier...I overreacted and it was a bit too much. I shouldn't have done that at all. It was wrong of me." I say with a concerned look

"It's fine...but still I'm not forgiving you." she says coldly

I then watch her as she just sips her hot chocolate and watches the fire. She then looks at me in shock.

"Chris..." Amelia gasps

"What?" I say looking at her

"You're face...it looks so bruised and bad....it's purple and all. Let me help you with that..." she says rushing to the bathroom to get the med kit

"Here this shouldn't hurt that much it may sting but it's going to help with the bruise just hold it still okay?" she says holding the cotton and placing it on my bruise while the other hand has the dettol

"Ow!" I flinch

"Hey...does it hurt?" she asks concerned

"I little but but it mainly stings." I say as she just gently dabs the cotton on my bruise

"I'm sorry for doing that....I know I was angry, but that was wrong of me it must've hurt a lot hasn't it?" she says

"You're so concerned Amelia...I said, it's okay just that I felt so heartbroken that I knew I lost you in that moment." I say sighing

"No...you haven't okay? I'll always be here. Please...just say something...about what happened earlier..." she says

"I don't know what to say? I don't have the words to say anything at all? What must I do? We both made mistakes okay? I'm not blaming it on you..." I say with my hands over my face

She then just comes and moves closer to me as she leans and puts her head on my shoulder without saying anything and then puts her hands in between mine.

"I just want to have a good night rest." she says

"Me too..." I say

"Chris?" she questions

"Yes?" I say looking at her

"What if they come looking for us and find us? Then what?" she says

"We'll then we'll keep on running and I will always protect you. I won't let anything bad happen to you. I promise." I say holding her tight in my arms

"I wish things weren't like this...so difficult and that we have to keep on running...I'm just so tired of running away from problems all the time." she says with a sad look on her face

"I know...I also hate the fact that we're just running I just want us to live our lives together peacefully. I know...you still mad and you don't forgive me but you know what I mean..." I say with a deep voice

"We'll figure everything out once this is all over..." she says with a faded smile

I kept her in my arms as we fell asleep watching the fire. There was nobody to disturb us and it was quiet the whole night. I tried to keep myself awake just in case something bad happened so, I stayed awake for the rest of the night. The next morning it was around 5 am and Amelia is still asleep as I peacefully watch her lay in my arms. I tried not to move a muscle or accidently wake her which I didn't. I just took that time to admire her and watch her breath heavily against my chest. I knew I had only a couple of minutes before going out to buy groceries by the shop because if I would go later it would be a problem for me.

I also wanted to check out our old house which the mafia had burned down I don't even know what happened to it...it was our dream home and all of that was taken away from us. All because of me and my actions. I guess what goes around comes around.
