Apologies and a shocking truth - Chapter 26

Melody's pov

Kian sat up on the hospital bed. "Melody?"

"Yes. It's me." I smiled as he smiled at me.

"Come here." He mumbled. I walked forward and hugged Kian tight. 

"You scared me." I said, slapping him playfully on the ear. His face was now black with bruising. He winced as I stroked his face.

"OW!" 

"Sorry." I said, kissing him. I was so pleased he was awake.

"What are you smiling at?" Kian looked at me.

"I am happy you are awake." I smiled. "And it is christmas eve."

Kian smiled. "I forgot."

I sat and talked to Kian, hoping he could go home soon.

Maspar's pov

We sat in the waiting room. The doctor came back with Melody. "Maspar, Kian wants to see you." Melody told me. Oh no.....

I walked into the ward and Kian was awake. "Hi Maspar." He said quietly.

I walked towards the bed and held up my hand for a high five, and Kian flinched backwards. "What?" I mumbled, retreating my hand. Then I relised. "Kian, I'm really sorry for punching you."

"It's okay." 

"No, it's not. I punched you because I was mad at you, I dunno why."

"Is it because Melody was at mine for the night, not with you?"

"I think." I went bright red. I wanted to protect my sister so much, I wouldn't let my best friend near her.

"The doctor says Melody might have to come with me for a while. At least some days a week. I have lost some memories that she knows of, and they want me to try and get them back. Melody can help me, Maspar."

"What about your parents?"

"Have you never noticed, how I could come over to your house; never a time my parents said no, you never see them when you're at mine? My parents are dead. I have none. I live in the house by myself."

I sat shocked. "well, Melody doesn't have to come with you."

"Maspar I-"

"-No, you should come with us. Live with us. The baby is a bit annoying but you can get used to him he is our brother."

"I wouldn't have to be your brother, would I?" We looked at each other, and laughed.

"No! That would be weird since, since you are dating my sister."

"Yep." We smiled and shook hands.

"I'll talk to dad, he will probably let you live with us."

"Thank you."

"Bye."

"Bye."
