Back to Aurelia
Aurelia had awoken back in her dorm, flinching slightly as she pushed herself up to a sitting position on her bed "Chico?" she spoke as she saw the boy watching her
Take it easy hermana" he reassured rushing to her side to support her taking her hand in his
"Chico" Aurelia said once again remembering what he had done shrugging her hand out of his standing up wobbling slightly as she stood
"Look it was the only way I could protect you" he countered
Aurelia began to limp towards the door fighting the pain "I didn't need your protection, I needed to stay" places hand on doorknob "Stop trying, you know I'll die sooner or later"
"Auri-" he started only to be cut off by the door shutting as he was left alone in her room
Aurelia hobbled out of her room only to be met with the sight of a bloodied Petra and Viktor being carried through the hallway "Petra, Viktor?" Aurelia murmured as she saw her friends in such as fragile state
"Lia?" Aurelia turned as she heard her name being called, turning to see Marcus
"Marcus?" she questioned letting out a breath she didn't even know she was holding, at the sight of him safe
"You're safe thank god" Marcus said as he ran to her
Aurelia took his face in her hands examining his face "I was so scared" she said as he brought his hands up to hers
"I know I never stopped thinking of you" he looked at her taking in her appearance "What. Is that." He spoke as he saw the splotch of blood blooming around her abdomen
"Oh calm down, it's blood, not nuclear waste" Aurelia dismissed it as she buried her face in his neck hugging him tightly as though she was scared he would disappear if she let go
Marcus simply smiled at the girl before him, she had completely and utterly won his heart over
A/N - It's super short but I have no motivation whatsoever :)
