GALAXY

Chapter 16

Mom picked the pieces of glass out my right hand. Sometimes I winched 'cause of the pain I felt. My dad sat in front of me while typing on the computer. I watched him in shame. He looked so serious, so dissapointed. My mom putted some bandages on my hand afther cleaning the wound. She just finished when my dad closed the computer and putted the screen down. He looked at me, straight in the eyes. I felt down and refused to watch them in the eyes. My hand was hurting, but so was my heart. Hours passed. I was still sitting on a chair in the kitchen when someone knocked on our door. My dad appeared in the hall and walked towards it. As soon as he opened I heared an angel's voice speaking. "Greetings, mister", she said. "I'm Neona Peterson, nice meeting you." My eyes widend as I heared her introducing herself. I was frozen, couldn't move a finger. I heared my dad replaying and letting her in. I didn't believe it, not till she walked in the kitchen. She was really here. "Neona?", my voice asked shaking. "What are you doing here?" "Your father invited me with a mail. I hope I don't bother you", she said on a caring tone. "No, of course not. Have a seat." I patted softly on the chair next to me. "Want to drink something?" "Can I have some water maybe?", she asked shy. I nodded and took a glass. I filled it with fresh water and gave it to her. She smilled while thanking me. We talked a bit when she stared at my hand. "Want to talk about it?", she said while pointing at the bandages. My eyes looked at it. "Just an inner war", I said her. She nodded and took my good hand. Squeezed it softly before speaking. "I'm always going to be here for you. Never forget." My eyes met hers. "Promise you'll never leave me?" I was a bit scared for her answer. I couldn't live without her. "I promise with heart and soul that I'll never let you drown in this cruelty of life." Her words collored my cheeks pink. She even promissed me more than I asked. I putted my arms around her wraist and pulled her close in a hug. "Thanks, Neona. You're an angel." We both blushed as she hugged me back. "Promise you'll first contact me next time?" I nodded on her request. "This inner war isn't on the inside anymore. You don't have to fight this on your own. You can be the warrior and victory will be yours. But I'll fight by your side, no matter what it takes." I hold her close to me. She was the best that ever happend to me. She slowely let go from the hug as she took my other hand carefully. "Battlescares, don't see them bad. It's another fight you won. It's okay to have them. Just let us prevent them", she said with an honest smile. A little smile came on my face as I nodded. I took her in my arms again. She started nuzzeling against my chest in a soft way. I blushed soft as we were cuddled up, forgetting the world and anything cruel that ever happend to any of us two.
