Chapter 5

Ana was by my side in an instant, her small arms wrapping around my neck; mom and dad followed suite, moms eyes watering as she hugged me. Kent, he stayed back, he didn't come forward to hug me, a smile spread across his face but the light of his smile never reached his eyes. It seemed as if there was a battle within him, a fight of happiness and sadness, his smile was bright as the morning sun, but his eyes showed the darkness of the longest night.

============

I was so happy to see her, she was whole again, she was going to make it through all of this and she was going to be fine. Happiness filled my heart only to quickly be subdued but a great wave of sadness, as I remembered that although she was the only thing holding me to this world, I could not take claim to her, she was no longer mine. The memory of her walking out, of her goodbye hit me. Her smile wavered as she looked at me, and I felt a pull at my heart. I forced myself to move towards her, I needed to know how she felt about me, I needed to know if her words from before still held true. I feared she would not want me, and I felt as if I was losing my heart. I couldn't bring myself to look at her as I moved to the side of her bed. Her small fingers wrapped themselves around mine, as she pulled my hand into her chest. I dared to glance at her, she was staring wide eyed at me, questioning what it was that was wrong. Before I could stop myself, I was leaning down, feeling her soft skin beneath my lips as I kissed her forehead. "I, I'm sorry, and I," she whispered through short breaths, "I love you." her eyes were closed, her hand weakly clenched mine, begging for an answer. On their own accord my lips brought themselves to her's, I felt her lips move trying to deepen the kiss. Pulling away I could barely breath, suddenly I realized that my heart, which had been no more than a hole for so long was back, I could feel again. "No, I'm sorry. I love you," I breathed, I know she heard though because she smiled before drifting off to sleep.
