She blinks at me, once, twice, then she starts laughing. A real oh-I'm-gonna-die-from-laughing kind of laugh.
"Ash finally sent me a girl to meet with, oh God!" she laughs but stops when she sees my face.
"hello Juliet. I am Elenora. Ash's mom but you can call Elen. And you are the first person I have seen in five years besides Ash and the doctors. He didn't even allow Elizabeth and Jason to see me. Which means only one thing. You are special to him. In that way."
I laugh nervously. "no. actually he just sent me here to tell you he's okay."
She looks at me, poker face. "I have a cancer. I am not mentally challenged. He could just message me like he always did. But anyways, I'm proud of my son. He chose a pretty one."
"oh" creepyo
"hey, do you mind reading the book on the desk out loud? Ash always does it and although he has such a deep and sexy voice, I'm sick of hearing it. And I'll tell you about his embarrassing moments, deal?"
Heart : poor Ash.
Brain : MUHAHAHAHA
A wicked grin finds its way to my lips. I snatch the book and start reading it to her. I read for half an hour then she talks for the other half.
"I'm gonna die. I know it. Ash knows it. You knew it the second you walked right in. but he doesn't know that I know and because of that he is spending most of his paycheck to pay the hospital bills. When I die, he is going to see how much money his father left for him it will make things easier for him."
"don't talk like that. Miracles can happen you know."
"oh they can. But just not to me. I'm not afraid to die. I'm just afraid of leaving him alone. Specially with all the mess that is called our life. But thankfully, now he has you. You won't leave him, right?"
I don't think I can even if I wanted to.
"I won't."
The rest of the day passed with me reading, talking and learning cute, embarrassing things about Ash. It was late so I decided to sleep there.
I woke up when a warm mattress was pulled over me. I look up and see Ash, his eyes gentle. I look over and see that Elen is sleep too.
I lace my fingers through his and drag him out of the room silently, so she wouldn't wake up. Once the door was closed, I turn to him.
"why didn't you tell me? I could have helped!"
"she's beyond help."
"not her. You. You don't have to go through this alone. Because like it or not you matter to me. So much and it might be unknown to you but when you care for someone you don't let them face bad things alone Ash." And with that I storm off.
But he catches my wrist and brings me back to face him. Our bodies pressed together. His face inches away from mine.
Then he kisses me.
Sweetly. Gently.
He cares about you... In that way.
I care about you too. My whisper got lost, just like my heart in the depth of his brown eyes.
***************************
and yet he went for it again and again and again. why?
to save her. to help her. because he loved her. because if he gave up...
he could not give up.
fallen series. book 5 : unforgiven.
