Together Forever (a Superman love story)

Chapter 13

*Edited*

Clarks P.O.V.

   Will she have powers just like me? Will she have super human strength? Will she be weakened by kryptonite?  Questions like that can make a person go crazy.

   I'm still sitting here, having my blood extracted from my body, and Autumns still not awake. Kirana has been in multiple times, checking in on Autumn and also me. She moved us to our own room secretly so no one else would see what we were doing. I am sitting in our room next to her going completely insane. I'm not sure if she is going to wake up. If she is going to hate me for doing this to her. I just can not stop thinking about it.

   I'm guessing it's making her better, because she is sweating less and her skin feels warm again.   I just want her to wake up. That's all I really want at the moment. And I have a very strong feeling that this isn't going to work as well as I thought it would.

   "Wake up." I whisper, "just wake up." I feel like I am going to cry. "Please, Autumn. Please." I breathe. My head falls back onto her bed. I feel my eyes start to water and a couple tears fall down my cheek and onto her hand that I am holding. I don't know how long we've been doing this blood things. I've been sitting here for what feels like hours. I know my heart is working overtime to keep me from passing out. Kirana says that once she wakes up, we can stop. 

   All of a sudden, I feel a small squeeze on my hand. I look up, and see that her fingers are wrapped around my fingers. I wipe the tears from my face and look up to her. Her eyes are still closed, but she is still holding my hand.

   Her fingers unclench mine, and she goes back to being still. She moved! She actually moved!

   "Thank you!" I whisper, looking up to the ceiling.

   When Kirana comes back into the room, I tell her what Autumn did.

   "I think this might actually work." She says, putting her hands on her hips.

   "Me too. I'm just happy that she finally moved." I say, smiling. I stop my train of thought before I say anything else. She said she thinks this might actually work? 

"Wait what do you mean you think?" I ask. She looks at me confused for a second then that fades. 

"Oh I was sure this was going to work, but you've been sitting here for so long, I started to doubt it. I thought maybe whatever is making her so sick is fighting your blood." She explains. She seems uncertain of what she said, but I ignore it and move on.

   "So that's all she did?" She asks, putting her hands on her hips and changing the subject. I nod my head.

   "Well... It seems to be working, but it's going to be a while till she's finally healthy again." Kirana says matter-of-factly.

   "I'm just glad that we are done guessing if this whole thing is "going to work". I was going a little bit crazy there for a moment." I laugh. 

   "Yeah, well don't get your hopes up. Anything can go wrong." She says, patting my shoulder and walking out. I sigh, and slouch back into my chair. Man, I'm hungry. I think to myself. I haven't had anything to eat in hours. After the storm, I never really had anything to eat. My stomach is growling, but I don't want to leave Autumn. Something could happen while I'm gone, and I want to be here for whatever that 'something' is, whether it's good or bad. Maybe I can order something in.

   "That'll be $11.64, please?" The older man says after giving me my food. I stick my hand in my pocket, grabbing my wallet and giving the man the money that I owe. He looks at the IV in my arm, then runs his eyes up to Autumns IV. He looks at me confusingly, but I just ignore it. I realize now that no one is suppose to see this.

   I pulls over a table that is sitting to the right of me and I turn on the tv. The only thing that is on is The Price Is Right. Nothing else. It's either that or sitting in silence. Well silence plus the sounds of the machines connected to my unconscious girlfriend. So I just watch tv. I open my container of food which consists of mashed potatoes and a small piece of steak. That's all I could really afford at the moment. That and a drink. I feel my stomach start to growl louder so I try to eat my food slowly without scarfing it down.

   Everyday, I wake up and wish that she would wake. It feels like this has been happening for so long, but it's only been a couple days or so. I bet you're probably wondering why I'm not drained yet. My body works faster than any human. So it produces more blood than the average human does in a week. So doing this is only making me a little tired, but I ignore it. Knowing that other people are going through a lot more pain than I am at the moment.

   I wonder if she'll be exactly  like me, powers and all. If she'll learn to embrace her powers or loath them. If she'll hate me for what I've done to her, or thank me. These questions have been swirling around in my brain for so long, I don't even remember when they weren't taking up space in my brain. This is all I can think about. My mother, I think, has given up on me. She keeps asking me if I want to come home, take a nice shower, get some new clothes; but I always deny her request. I don't want to leave.... but I want to leave. I haven't been outside of these walls in a while and it's killing me. I want to fly. Feel the power of the air on my body. Feel the sensation I get whenever I push myself has hard as I can. Feel it in my muscles. My bones. I just want that again. 

   I'm starring out the windows in the hospital room, imagining myself doing what I want to do. Saving the people and just being me. Flying  around the city, dodging the big buildings. Zigzagging between all the towers. I smile to myself, while looking out into the sunrise over the horizon. 

Kirana comes in and tells me that I can have a little break. We've been doing this for too long. she says her body needs a little bit to really take in my blood. 

   I find myself running. Running toward the entrance of the hospital. I'm making sure I don't run into anyone. The faster I run, the more I can see the doors. As soon as the cold air of the morning and the sun hit my face, I feel a pang of relief rush through my whole body. I look up to the sun with my eyes wide open, and my fists clenched. I feel the warmth of the sun sink into my skin and I brace myself to take off. One minute my feet are planted on the ground, and the next I'm in the sky. Looking down on the beautiful city. I knew that I should be at the hospital with Autumn, but I need this

   After a while, I figure I should go back to the hospital. I'm hoping that she's awake. 

***

   "Clark! Clark!" Kirana is running toward me, looking worried or maybe scared. I couldn't quite decipher the look on her face. 

   "Where have you been?! Never mind that. Get up to Autumns room right now!" She says pushing me a long. My palms start to sweat and my knees start to give in. It didn't work.  

   When I get up to her room, the door is cracked. I can't see much inside, but I am afraid to open the door. What am I going to see? Her dead body? Or her healthy body, live and awake? If she is awake, will I see her smile? Or scowl? Does she know? Does she know she's like me? What will I say? What will I do? 

   I finally have to tell myself to shut up and open the damn door. I make my shaking hand push the door open slowly and walk in and there she is, sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at the palms of her hands. 

   Very much alive.
