Boxer Girl

13. Sorry.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

Dammit! I thought annoyed by the noise burning in my scull. I wanted to open my eyes, but I was too exhausted to, so I took the easier way out and kept them close.

After a while, I heard a door open, but choose to act as if I'm sleeping.

"How is she?" I heard the voice of my father say. He seemed geninely exhausted, tired, but mostly worried. 

A stranger woman's voice said, "she'll be okay. Apparently, she hadn't eaten for long, and exhausted herself overload. And from what I  heard the heart break she went through had increased the amount of hormones which affect the physical body due to its imotions, so it weakened her. But her body is now okay since we applied all the protines she lacked." And with tha I heard the door open then shut close.

I felt footsteps moving, and then a chair did. Next thing I knew, someone held my hand in his, and my father said, "I can't lose you." As he tightened his hold.

He was silent for a while, but I knew he was crying since I heard him sniff. "You were the only thing that kept me walking ever since your mother died. You look the split image of her, same personality, same kindness. But you were always unique in your own way that you weren't your mother anyway. But you were so similar anyways." He said with his voice cracking at the end and he squeazed my hand tighter.

"Get well soon, my love." He said squeazing my hand again, and kissing my temple. He let go and left.

I wanted to get up. I really tried. I wanted to wipe dad's tears, erase them forever. But it felt as if there was something pushing me into whatever I was laying on.

A few moments of silence, and with the beeping is the only sound, the door opened again, and closed behind the one who came.

"Maia," I heard Johanthan's voice call, making my heart beat increase. He came.

The beeping hurried a little, but I ignored it. I focused on Johnathan. He held my hand in his, and held it up. Seconds later, I felt his lips plant on knuckles and linger there, making my heart swell.

"I- uhm." Johnathan started clearing his throat, "I screwed everuthing we could have. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. Alicia told me, after she beat me up pretty bad, that you just found out about me. I'm sorry I judged you, it wasn't my place. It's only that I really liked Red Death and you at the same time. But after all this hurt I caused you, I think it's better if I left." And he let go of my hand.

My heart beated fast and repeatedly, and the machine that obviously was monitoring my heart, beeped faster in a what seemed to be a dangerous speed, due to the voices bursting to the room and almost screaming. I heard them calling for Johnathan to leave, making my heart beat faster.

The latest thing I heard before everything was back to silence, was Mason's voice screaming at Johnathan for entering my room in the first place, and a voice of him punching Johnathan. 

~~

Silence. It was the only thing that invited me as I regained my sences. I wasn't as tired as last time. Last time.

Johnathan was leaving me, thinking he was such a bad influence. I opened my eyes, and saw that I wwas sleeping in a hospital bedroom. I started moving, but noticed that the heart monitor was still beeping next to me, and an IV connected to my veins in my left arm.

I started moving, but everything was sore, and tired. I looked around, and saw Shawn and Alicia slumped in a chair across the room sleeping together, making a smile grow on my face. I looked around me, and saw that Jace was also asleep, but in a chair right next to me.
