Draw the Shades and Close the Door (a Vic Fuentes Fanfic)

Chapter 29

~~Vic's P.O.V~~

I slept soundly that night and had the best nights sleep I had had for a very long time.

I was absolutely shocked when I opened my front door to Nina. She stood there soaking wet from the rain in her pyjamas and completely out of breath but she looked as beautiful as ever, her blind hair looking darker than usual spread unevenly in strands from the rain over her face. I couldn't believe it, what was she doing at my house. Was it some sort of cruel joke that life was playing on me. I stood staring at her unable to comprehend why the hell she was here. I almost didn't want her to be there. Almost. I knew that I would soon have to close the door in her because otherwise I would just burst out into tears all over again.

'I remember.' She spoke but I hardly heard her, I was still so surprised that she was standing at my door. Maybe she got the wrong house seeing as she didn't remember me.

I then registered her words. What? What was this? I couldn't comprehend. This was definitely a cruel joke or my imagination playing tricks on me. It was definitely sleep deprivation, I had hardly slept these past few days. Yep that was what it was. I continued to stare at her waiting for her to vaporise in front of me as she was just my imagination but she didn't. I blinked but she still stood there. Could this be real?

'I remember Vic, I remember everything, I remember us I remember Mike I rememb-' Her words filled me with complete happiness, a happiness I didn't think I had ever felt before. Even if she wasn't real, it felt like a great weight had been taken off my shoulders. This had to be true, there was no other reason, I wasn't that insane.

I cut off her words by leaning down and pulling her into a kiss. She didn't vaporise in my hands and it was at that moment that I knew this was real. She had come back to me after all this time.

My emotions came pouring out as I kissed her and it was the best thing in the world. She had come back to me and all I could think about right now was her. There was nothing else at all on my mind and I knew that I wanted her and she wanted me.

We got undressed and the rest is history.

'Morning beautiful.' Nina squirmed and stretched in my arms. 'Happy birthday.' I whispered into her ear as I traced the outline of the bird tattooed on her shoulder.

She rolled over so she was facing me.

'You remembered?' She questioned quietly as a sad smile spread across her face.

'Of course I did Nina, how could I ever forget anything to do with you?'

She looked down and started to play with the edge of the duvet cover, she blinked and a tear fell from her eye. 

 Good one Vic.

'Im sorry.' She sobbed. 'Im so so sorry.'

'Hey, hey Nina.' I pulled her into a hug. 'Its ok, you aren't to blame. I could never blame you! You've come back now and that's all that matters, everything in the past two months in the past and never has to be mentioned. It's over and you're here now.' I rubbed her back as she cried into my neck.

'I don't deserve you Vic, you waited for me and I couldn't have been more helpless. I-i, thank you Vic. For waiting for me. For not giving up on me.'

I could see she was getting upset so instead of making her talk anymore I hopped up, put on a pair of boxers and walked over to my desk where the little black box lay. I grabbed it and walked back over to Nina who was now sat up with my bed sheets covering her.

'Here, Happy birthday.' I smiled handing her over the box. I had originally bought it for her before the accident but I had never had the chance to give it to her. I was thinking of giving it to her when she woke up but things hadn't exactly gone to plan. Now, though, was a perfect time.
