Together Forever (a Superman love story)

Chapter 12

*Edited*

   Autumns P.O.V.

  I go back to my room, feeling too exhausted to function. The boy is asleep and the older woman is reading a book. I wrap myself in my blankets and close my eyes. Wishing for sleep to come faster. 

  Clark and I land on what seems to be an island. Hills overlook the sky and a house sits upon those hills. Stairs from the shore lead to the front door. The beach is so clean, the water is soothing. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer. 

 "What do you think?" A huge smile spreads across his face and he looks down at my lips. I glance at the house, confusion taking over my mind. 

 "Is this yours?" I question, rubbing his shoulders a little.

"Ours." He kisses my lips softly, the warmth from his lips makes me shiver. 

"What do you mean ours?" I laugh.

"I was thinking, since the whole world wants me dead, we could live here. Together. Forever." 

"Seriously?" I smile.

"Yes." He smirks. "What do you say?" He rocks us side to side a little, making me giggle. 

"I think I'm going to have to explain this to my mother. She's not going to like it. I'll have to pack and everything." I look to him and kiss his cheek. "But yes. Yes!" I squeal. He laughs and picks me up, twirling me around. He kisses me more firmly this time. I cup his face with the palms of my hands and push harder. My heart starts to beat faster and my stomach does flips and turns. I'm so happy right now. I can't believe I'm doing this. 

"I love you." He says in a deep, husky voice. I stare into the same blue eyes I've starred into for years and I smile. 

"I love you." I smirk. I press my lips to his once more before I turn to look at my new home. 

I wake to the sound of my own sobs. I am crying over my dream. A dream that I wish was true. I've felt guilty for the way things ended between Clark and I. I knew I shouldn't have reacted the way I did, but I was overwhelmed. My dream is what I wish was real. It was beautiful and pure. 

I start to feel my head pound. Harder than it's ever pounded before. My vision starts to blur and I suddenly can't hear anymore. What is wrong with me? I can't feel my finger tips, because the pain is so horrible. I start to see double, across from me is two of the teenage boy and the older woman. They are both starring at me. I realize now that I've been screaming. A gust of wind rushes into the room and Clark is by my side in a second. Then the nurse is next to him. 

"My head." Is all I manage to get out. I hear the nurse say something, but I can't figure out what she said. The only word I understood was surgery. Clark has a worried look on his face as he leans into me.   

"Hey, you're going to be fine okay? You are going to be okay, don't worry. I'll be by your side the whole time." He kisses my forehead and holds my hand as the doctor and a few other people rush into my room. I don't understand what's going on. The only thing I can concentrate on is the searing pain in the middle of my forehead. I feel a prick in my arm and my vision starts to fade. I realize that they already have given me anesthesia. I feel calm, my pain is going away. I feel peace.   

Clark's P.O.V.

I rush with the team of doctors and nurses trying to get Autumn to the operating room. She's sound asleep already. As I look at her, I realize just how beautiful she is. I don't have time to admire her because a nurse pushes me away softly.
