Their last chapter (a Zac Levi/Tom Hiddleston story)

At the crossroads

*Ami*
"Hi sweetie, don't you want any food ?" She walked into Zac's room, finding him on the bed with his back turned, laying exactly like he had when she left an hour ago.

She could hear from the way he was breathing that he wasn't sleeping and after a few moments he shook his head. "I'm not hungry".

"You need to eat something Zac. You need the energy, so you can do your exercises and get better". She sat down on the edge of the bed.

His whole body kind of retracted from her and it hurt in her heart and stomach. "It doesn't matter, I am never getting any better".

"Please Zac, don't say that. If you would just try. You have to train. You should see Tom, he is making so much progress". She put a hand on his hip, not wanting to touch his shoulder, it wasn't fully healed yet.

He didn't react to her hand, but it was probably just because he wasn't aware that it was there, there had been no progress with his sense of touch. "Oh yes Tom, always perfect Tom, of course he is doing splendid, but I am not Tom".

"No, you are not Tom, and no one wants you to be Tom. You are my perfect, strong, wonderful, passionated, would give everything he owns to others Zac or you used to be". She bit her lip.

He turned onto his back with great difficulty, looking at her. "Well sorry that I am not perfect anymore. I didn't ask for this, they should have just let me die".

"Please don't say that Zac. I didn't mean it like that, I..I just meant..". She struggled to find the right words.

His voice cut her of, his eyes weren't looking at her anymore. "Ami, I think I would like to relax a bit, could I get some peace and quiet thank you ?"

"Okay, if that is what you want". She got up, she wanted to kiss him goodbye, but he had turned his face away and closed his eyes.

She left his room again, not knowing what to do with herself, contemplating calling her mother or Linda, but she knew she would break down when they asked about Zac, so she didn't.

If she just knew what to do to help him. She would do anything for him, if he would just let her, but she felt like she got nowhere with him.

She suddenly felt uncertain if he even loved her anymore, it didn't feel like it right now.

But she wasn't about to give up, she wanted to fight for him, to fight with him. She didn't care about his injuries, but for his own best she wanted him to get as healthy as possible.

It was just so hard when he didn't want her help. When he didn't want to get better, and she thought about calling his father or Joel and ask them to come, but she was afraid Zac would hate her for it.

She sat down on a bench outside the hospital. She was happy that no one knew they were there, there had been so much for the news and media's to focus on after the earthquake, so no one had realised that they were missing yet.

They had all hoped that they would be ready to go home without anyone noticing that they had been gone, but right know it was far away, especially for Zac.

Actually the doctors had started to hint, that if he didn't made any progress, he would have a really hard time living on his own and he would probably need a nurse to take care of him.

After sitting for some time in the sun, she got up and went inside. She stopped for a moment where the hallways made a crossroad and thought about which room to go to.

Shortly after she opened the door and walked inside quietly. He was laying on the bed and she softly asked. "Hi Tom, are you awake".

"Yes, I am just relaxing a bit, I hadn't expected to see you back this soon Ami, is something wrong ?" He turned and watched her.

She couldn't get the words out, but when Tom saw her face, he moved over and clapped on the bed next to him, she crawled up beside him and he pulled her into him, letting her cry with her face hidden against his chest.
