Gabriel (Book 1)

Can You Hear Me? Part 2

April 3rd, 2013

Things really don't look to good, it doesn't seem like Sophia will be waking up.

And Jordan isn't doing so well either. She looks older, and tired. I assume its

from starving herself, she hasn't eaten since what happened. I, on the other

hand, do eat. I just don't leave the house. But back to Jordan, everyone has

tried at least twice to get Jordan to drink something, and she refused each and

every one of these people with a clear, demanding, 'No'.

Josh even tried to convince her that Sophia would want her to be healthy. Jordan

gave him the nastiest glare I have ever seen, dragged him down the stairs, and

yelled at him for 2 seconds before coming back into Sophia's room.

I started thinking about my promise to Sophia; the one when I said that I would

take her to Russia once this was all over. Would I even get that chance now?

Will I be missing out on bringing her to Moscow the medieval capital? Or to

rival romantic city St. Petersburg? And to my favorite, the Golden Ring of

ancient towns? Will I be spending the rest of my life regretting not giving her

that one moment of happiness and love with me that she desired?

I silently stood up and left her room. I wandered down the stairs and into the

kitchen where Johanna was sipping coffee.

"Rhoan is getting some sleep in the living room." She tells me.

"I am sorry that I didn't wake you that night and tell you where I was going. It

must have scared you." I say while holding her hand and drinking some blood.

"No, not really. I know that you would never leave without telling me unless it

was important and that you will never leave leave."

She is right.

Now, what a couple we are! One is normal, sitting on a bar stool sipping coffee

from a mug and the other is more of a freak than humans will ever know and

drinking blood out of a mug. How interesting.

"Your not allowed to leave the house without me." I say before taking another

sip.

"What?!" She argues like I knew she would.

"I can't take the chance of you being hurt too, it would kill me." I grab both

her hands and kiss them, "I'm already dealing with the fact that my niece is

being considered as good as dead by the doctor, I could not deal with it if I

would have to see you injured or considered dead as well."

She takes a deep breath, and I know it kills her to say these next words, but

she said and promised them anyway, "Okay. I will not leave this house without

you. I know how much pain you're feeling and I don't want you to feel anymore,

especially because of me."

I whispered a 'thank you' and wandered back upstairs into Sophia's room.
