Before I could say anything, Amyra's brother stormed into my room and plopped down on my bed, and rubbing a hand over his face; "Amyra's been acting like the victim and I want you to not give her another chance; Amyra always screws things up, and I probably sound like an awful brother right now, but I want her to realise that people don't always come around; Amyra is becoming into a manipulative person, and someone who would kill to get what she wants, not caring about hurting herself or others in the way. She's not mentally fit anymore, Mithila. I want you to go. Go away from here, and ignore whatever Amyra says or does to you. Find someone better. I know I should be supporting my sister right now, but I can't watch her take advantage on your kindness anymore."
By the time he ended his words, I got up and packed up my stuff, and stood in front of him.
"You're an amazing brother, I promise. Thank you so much. Tell Amyra I said goodbye, please." We smiled at each other, before he pulled out a photo of Amyra and I from his jacket's pocket; "I clicked this on Amyra and yours first date." Handing it to me, he walked away, and I watched his retreating form, before looking down at the paper in my hand. It was a worn out polaroid, with its sides shrinking and the paper turning slightly yellow, scribbles of permanent marker at the bottom, "Her and I." I choked back a painful sob that threatened to ripple through my throat, and swallowed painfully, tears brimming my eyes like a dam on the verge of breakage.
I close my eyes for a second and a few tears slip down, staining the polaroid and blotting the permanent marker scribbles. I don't want to go. My bag falls off my hand, and I hastily wipe my tears with the back of the sleeve of my sweatshirt, And pick up my bag, walking out of the room and towards the reception, clearing my bills.
I stand outside her hospital room, looking at her crying form from the little glass circle in the doors.
"I knew you'd come." Her brother states as he stands beside me, a solemn expression on his face. "Go in." he says again, pushing me inside, before shuffling quietly to the waiting area.
"Hey." I breathe out after the doors stopped screeching painfully loud, and Swallow thickly, before rubbing my clammy hands on the front of my jeans. I stand awkwardly near the door, and watch as low, but heavy sobs emit from her throat. I wince when she begins to cough violently, and I have to go to her side and hand her a glass of water to stop her from choking.
She stop hyperventilating, before her eyes shift to me, and tears cloud her vision again, but this time, she wipes her eyes and sounded, in her cracked voice;
"I'm so sorry."
I don't know if it was in the spur of the moment, or if I was going crazy too, but I kiss her. She sat paralysed against me for a second before she responded again, and my hands went forward to cup her wet cheeks in my hands, while hers held onto my waist.
I pull back and rest my forehead against her, before breathing out to calm my erratic heart, that was going so haywire, I was afraid it was going to jump out of my chest.
"As much as I can try to resist and forget, Amyra, I will always be in love with you. I love you. So, so, much." I whisper, and close my eyes for second, and open them again, staring into her own brown ones.
"Mithila, no matter how manipulative and mean you think I am, and no matter how many times I've asked you to leave me; Part of me always wished for you to come back. And you did. I love you too. So, so, much."
