New Journey

Chapter 46

Few hours later

Amal's P.O.V

I looked at Maluma, my eyes brimmed with tears as I tried to keep strong but I plastered a smile on my face and took a hold of his hand and squeezed it.

"That knock to your head didn't do any damage."I said with a soft chuckle as I looked at him.

"Nothing can do any damage to me."Maluma said with a chuckle then looked at me, he let out a sigh and his thumb stroked my hand. "Please don't be strong for me."

Tears streamed down my face, I turned my face away and wiped the tears away then turned back to him. "If I don't be strong for you, who is?"

"I don't need anyone to be strong for me, I just need you to be okay and that's all I need."Maluma replied as he looked at me. "So let those tears come out."

I looked at him, tears trickled down my face and I let out a sigh. "You are just amazing did you know that?"

"Yeah I know."Maluma said with a grin on his face.

"You didn't lose this in the concussion."Royce said as he walked into the room and looked at me and Maluma.

"Seriously Royce?"Maluma said as he rolled his eyes.

Royce looked at me. "Are you okay Amal?"

"I'm fine."

Royce and Maluma shared a look then the nurse walked into the room, she handed Maluma his discharge papers then left.

Maluma jumped off the bed and looked at me and Royce. "Let's get out of here."

"Take it easy."Royce said sternly as he looked at Maluma. "I don't want to come back to the hospital for you."

Maluma threw his arm around Royce's neck. "I know, I know."

We walked out of the room to see Richard and Joel stood there, Joel looked at me and let out a sigh. "Amal?"

"Yeah?"

"You have to erm..."Joel stopped himself in mid-senstance and looked down at the floor, acting all interested on the pattern on the floor.

Richard let out a sigh and looked at me. "You have to go down to the morgue now."

"Can't one of youse go and do it please?"I asked as I looked at them and let out a sigh.

"We've already asked but they won't allow us."Royce replied as he looked at me. "It's family only and we aren't."

I looked at Joel. "C-Can you come with me?"

He nodded. "Yeah sure."

"I'll go help Royce with Maluma then."Richard said with a smile on his face.

"I'll meet you down by the car."I said as I looked at Royce and Maluma.

Richard, Maluma and Royce walked in one direction where as me and Joel walked into another.

"You can do this."Joel said softly as we came to a stop at the door with morgue wrote in bold letters.

I turned my head to him and looked at him, my eyes brimmed with tears. "I-I can't."
