Growing Back Together

Chapter 3

"Zosh what are you doing?" Oliver cried.
"I don't know, I just want it all to stop. I've lost Digby. I've lost my Mum. And now I've lost you." She sobbed and shifted even more off the edge.

Ollie silently walked over and sat on the ledge much to Zosia's surprise,
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"If your gonna leave me all alone, I don't want it. You fall. I fall. Simple. I know I never showed it much but Zosia I loved you so much and I still do, more everyday. And I know your hurting, but tomorrow will be better." Zosia looked into his eyes.

"But what if it's not?"

"Then you keep saying it because at one point tomorrow will be better." Zosia's mouth formed a slight smile.

"My favourite quote." She smiled,
"I could never forget, you brought me back to life when you came to this hospital, now it's my turn to save you. So please Zosia March, let me help you."

Zosia stared intensively into his light eyes,

"Because if you fall off that edge, the love of my life will fall and I can't deal with that. So for Arthur, for me, please come away."

Tears filled her eyes once again as she slowly put her feet back onto solid ground, and Ollie breathed a sigh of relief and quickly embraced her and refused to let go.

Oliver then gently placed a kiss on her forehead,
"Don't scare me like that ever again, Doctor March. My poor Kebo can't take anymore stress." He laughed.

But Zosia didn't .

"I didn't get to say goodbye, I was to busy chasing my own selfish ambitions whilst my best friend was dying. What kind of person am I?" She cried.

"You are a beautiful, stubborn, determined lady who Arthur respected and knew one day would go on to achieve great things. He knew Zosh that you loved him, he knew, and yes you weren't there in his last moments but I bet he was thinking of you and Dom all the way."

She only sobbed further, before collapsing as tears overwhelmed her.
"It's okay I'm here." Ollie cradled her in his arms.

A silent tear slid down his face as pain filled his heart. His Zosia was falling apart and he didn't know how to put her back together.
