Unheard Beauty (Melix, mute)

Chapter 8

Felix's POV 

I sat by the tree looking at the presents that are set underneath it, casually I check my phone hoping for a text from Marzia but nothing so I text Signe 

F-Hey is she still at y'alls?
W-No, has she not made it home yet? She left a few hours ago

My heart stops, is she ok? What if she got hurt again? Maybe she's back at the park? Did she run out again? Shit I need to go see if she's ok 

Quickly I rush outside and start running down the sidewalk looking wherever I can "Marzia!!!" I scream "If you can hear me come out!" 

There's nothing 

I try calling her, even if she can't talk I can at least see if she'll pick up but nothing. Her phone must've died 

My pace gets faster as I continue down the sidewalk screaming out her name but after about 40 minutes of this I lose my breath. I stop and grab my phone quickly dialing 911 

"Hello what's your emergency" "Hi please- help" I say trying to catch my breath "M-My friend, she's mute and- and left our other friends house a few hours ago to come home. W-We live...together and- and she hasn't come home, our friend hasn't heard from her, she's new to town. Please we're freaking" 

"Ok sir I'm sorry but if it hasn't been more than 24 hours we can't help. I can transfer you to-" "24 hours!? I'm not letting her get attacked for the rest of the day!!" "Sir calm down, maybe we can help. What's her name?" 

"Marzia Bisognin, she's 25 and mute" "ok sir we can-" I move the phone when I hear a mans scream, almost like he's yelling at a wom- Marzia! I hang up and run a little further and as soon as I turned the corner on a empty street was Marzia pressed against the wall and the man from the first day we met with his arms on either side of her 

"Hey!" I scream. The man turns to me and is instantly annoyed "You again?" He grumbles then turns back to Marzia "You won't get away for much longer" But as soon as his hand hit her cheek I jumped at him "Marzia go home!" I scream as I hit him 

After one punch I jump up and run behind her to the house  

Once we get inside I close and lock the door then turn to her. Before she could do anything I hug her tightly setting my head on hers as I started to cry and so did she. 

I remember the hit and move back from her checking her cheek. He definitely left a mark on her "I'm so sorry, I should've went with Signe to help wrap then you wouldn't have been alone while walking home" I apologize 

She just hugs onto me digging her head into my shoulder. I hold her tightly "I'm so sorry" I apologize again she moves from me and smiles as she opens her bag. I watch as she takes out 2 wrapped presents with my name written on it 

I sigh and hug her "Don't risk anything for me again ok?" She nods and I let go so she goes to the tree and puts them down but looks to me about the other presents

"Oh yeah I went out and got that stuff for you" she smiles at it and sits on the couch so I join her. I lay my arm behind her back and hold her waist

While sitting there I feel her tug on my sleeve. I look to her and she hands me the notepad she's been talking to me on  'hey can we head to bed?' I nod and stand up with her

We get into bed and I hug her tightly to me. She cuddles into me and falls asleep. I'm just happy she's home, I wouldn't be able to live without her. I just feel horrible. I don't want to treat her like a kid and stay with her 24/7 but I don't want her hurt an if she's alone then she won't be able to yell for help

I don't really know what to do, for now I think I'm just going to have fun and relax with her.

I do love her afterall
