Joy's parents rushed to the hospital, they got the call that their daughter was awake finally.
When they got there, they saw the newly dead orb.
"The fall she took was more serious then we thought, the impact damaged her occipital lobe. She's blind in her right eye.", the attending nurse told the parents, "but we don't know where that eyepatch came from."
"Eyepatch?", Joy's mother asked and the nurse motioned to the eyepatch in the albino female's hand.
The girl was playing with the glass rose on the eyepatch, the lovely piece shimmered in the lights.

The older couple walked in and sat next o their daughter, "tell us what happened."
Joy gulped and told them everything, not sparing any details.
Her parents' faces paled when she spoke of the death match and the attempted kidnapping, her father got mad at the kiss part.
Her mother hugged her and gave her a kiss on the head, "I'm sorry sweetie."
Joy hugged back and cried, "my eye is gone. I can't see from it!"
"I'm sorry sweetie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.", her mother apologized over and over.
Her father patted her back, he did not know how to help his daughter but he wanted to do what he could.
Because she had lost sight in her right eye, she was considered legally blind and unable to keep her learner's permit for driving.

The nurse knocked on the door and walked in, "she has a few visitors."
A brunette head poked its way into the doorway, it was Antonio.
"Hola chica! Are you feeling better?", the Spaniard asked with a smile, "we can always come back later if not."
Joy's dad let out a huff, he did not really like these people anymore.
"Come in Tony.", Joy said weakly as she covered up her dead eye, "it is nice to see you."
"It's not just me.", the happy Spanish male grinned, "I brought friends."
"Don't-a call me your-a friend. Tomato bastard.", Lovino frowned as Bella pulled him in.
"Hello!", Bella waved happily to the family.
Joy's mother smiled a bit at the cheery Belgian.

"I thought you brought Francis and Gilbert.", Joy smiled weakly, "but I'll be happy with Bella and Lovino."
"Are-a you okay ragazza?", Lovino asked as he set some tulips next to the bouquet on the stand.
Joy nodded and smiled at the flowers, "they are lovely, I suppose Tim wants me to pay for them after this?"
Bella giggled, "No, he donated them after hearing what happened."
Antonio chuckled, "Si, he actually wanted to give them to you himself but he had to help Noah."
the albino female nodded slowly, "tell him thank you for me?"
"Sure will! I'll bring both of my brothers next time.", Bella smiled with her unique smile, "Noah wanted to talk to you again."
Joy laughed before doubling over, Her father was quick to set her back straight.
"I'm sorry.", Bella apologized quickly and saw Joy's father giving them a harsh look, "we'll go, I can see we are not wanted here now."
The three left the family and Joy's mother looked at the flowers, "where did that big bouquet come from?"
the snow haired female looked and shrugged, "I thought you brought it"
"It was here when we got here, maybe one of your friends sent it?", Her mother continued, "the flowers in the bouquet are your favorites."

"I don't know.", the albino sighed, "like I don't know where this eyepatch came from."
She held up the eyepatch, "it's pretty though."
"Very pretty,", Joy's mother smiled, "are you going to wear it?"
Joy nodded and put the eyepatch on, her mother gushed and complimented her daughter.
The fuchsia eyed female smiled again at her mother and father, the older male stood up.
"Well I have to get back to work, I'll see you again snowflake.", her father patted her head and walked out.
"I'll be in the radiation therapy institute if you need me dear.", her mother smiled and stood up, "call if you need anything."
The albino female nodded to her mother and the older woman walked away, Joy settled into the bed again and looked at the flowers.
The lovely white and pink ombre roses were lovely and the plumeria smelled so sweet, all the flowers were so beautiful as the lights hit them.
Her eyes closed and she drifted off into a sweet rest again.

Light footsteps made her open her eyes, a male was in he hospital room with his back turned to her.
He seemed to be fixing up the flowers he placed next to the other two, the bobbing curl gave him away instantly.
Lucas.
Joy covered her dead eye and looked away from him, the Norwegian turned around.
"You're up."
The albino did not respond as he sat down next to her, "Joy. I'm sorry for hurting you.
Lucas placed his hand on her head as he usually did, "My intention was to never hurt you. I wanted to protect you."
"Was what he said true then?"
the Norwegian male stopped petting Joy's head, "was what true?"
"He said that you and your brothers bullied me bad enough for me to lose my eye, that You hurt me enough that I went on a murderous rampage to get revenge on you.", Joy said weakly as she pushed his hand off of her head, "that I was in love with Egil."
Lucas placed his hand back onto her head, "It is true. But that was a different time, I did not completely understand what my actions did to you and I paid the price. But I will not make the same mistake and I love you."

"I don't know if I love you in return.", Joy responded, "you say you won't hurt me again but you did. How can I believe you if you lied about that?"
The blonde Norwegian brushed her hair from her face, "because, you at the end of the previous time made me see my errors and I fell in love with you."
"I don't know if I believe you anymore.", The albino female said and looked down.
Lucas pressed his lips to her forehead, "I love you. Please know that."
He patted her cheek and stood up, "I'll come and visit again soon."
With that, he disappeared into a pale blue mist.
The albino female looked at the flowers he left, they were small white flowers.
All she could do now was rest and recover, but she needed to get out of bed to exercise her muscles.
But she was tired, be it from the stress or from the painkillers.
All she wanted to do was sleep.

"Aah~"

Joy's eyes shot open at that sound, her eyes locked onto the way too familiar face.
"You."
"Halló Kona min~", the Icelander purred out, "looking as much as an Angel as ever."
The white haired female reached up to press the button for a nurse but her hand was grabbed, "No, don't be naughty Kona."
She struggled against the small male who was smiling at her, "you are so cute. Do you know that?"
"Leave me alone! I told you that I do not return your feelings!", she shouted at him.
The platinum haired male caught her flailing hangs and held them in one hand as he caught her chin in the other, he pressed his chilly Lips to her warm cheek.
"You will. I can promise that.", the young man purred and nuzzled her neck, "my Kona."
She could do nothing to stop him as she was so weak, he kissed her again but on the lips this time.
He tasted sweet like gummy bears.
The sound of approaching footsteps made him stop and get up, "until next time my love~"
He gave her a wink and disappeared before a nurse came into the room, "hello, I'm here to take you to your thera- Sweetie are you okay?"
Joy's eyes were full of tears as the nurse came to have a closer look at her, "I need to tell the doctor about your eye.. but frost in this heat?"
Joy had frost on her wrists and face, the nurse helped her out of bed and into a waiting wheelchair.
"You must be cold with that on you, Let's get you warmed up and in a therapy room."
