Red Drops (ON HIATUS)

Chapter 22

After a few minutes Penny came back with the doctor and a nurse in tow. He stood beside you like a husband would or a good actor, at least.

They discussed all the things that went wrong and all their findings. Thankfully, there wasn't anything weird in your blood or something extraordinary in your body. They didn't even discussed the pregnancy, which alarmed you at a stressful rate.

Nonetheless, the doctor scheduled your released for tomorrow. At that Penny let out a grunt, gaining the eyes of everyone in the room. He quickly cleared his throat as an excuse.

"We'll let you two be for a couple of minutes; visiting hours are done, but this it'll be an exception" the doctor mentioned with a smile.

"Thank you, sir" you replied and he nodded urging the nurse and himself out of the room.

The awkward silence fell between you two and it became an unbearable tension. Penny opened his mouth to speak, but you beat him to it.

"I'll be fine here, it'll be just another night and you can back tomorrow" you didn't even glance at him, already feeling a bubbling anger within his persona.

"I will much rather like to stay with you just in case 'my other' decides to visit you once more" he said with authority and it almost felt like an order, if it weren't for the phrase "that is, if my mate would like that?"

You smiled at him, your eyes gleamed with a certain kindness and in your chest was a warmth. Something you couldn't explain, but his request lighted something inside you. You nodded and smiled appreciatively. He still wore a serious face but at your smile and look, his demeanor melted away. He smiled back.

"I would like that very much, Mr. Wise" he giggled at the name and kissed your forehead.

He lingered there and you closed your eyes feeling how his lips were pressed against your forehead. How they were plum and soft, rich in some kindled passion to make the tiny kiss last. Your heart beats faster as he breaks the kiss and joins his forehead with yours. His eyes gaze deep into yours and you swear you could see stars and universes in them. They enrapture you in a sense of welcoming warmth and safety beyond measure. The scene felt like he could never ever lie to you and all that came through those 'bittable' lips meant something.

I'm that moment there was no silence, nothing in the world. Just the two of you gazing into each other, seeing one another through their eyes. But the enchantment was broken when a knock came to the door and it was slightly opened.

"Oh, Miss, I thought your man was still inside. Must've slipped by really quick" she chuckled and you followed looking at him sitting in your hospital bed.

"Yeah, he must've" you gaze once more into him with an amused smile. He felt his heart skip at the genuine gesture.

"Well, I'll let you rest already" she slipped away.

"I will come, tomorrow" you nodded and he disappeared right before you.

But dread found a way into your heart. A burning question made you feel nauseous: if he was here, if he was caring, then what was that eerie whisper that claimed you weren't safe?

After questioning your safety inside the four walls of the small hospital room, you fell asleep. The constant paranoia was a terrible lullaby, but you've manage to push it aside and clear your head for a nice rest. Of course that is until the door opened slightly.

Someone slid inside. You could tell by the noise of someone trying very hard to not make a sound. Your breathing started rising a little and the machine beside you, beeped at the rhythm. What if it was him-or it? What if this was the end and he came to finish you off? What if the whole caring facade was over now?

Deciding your last moments shouldn't be spend in agonizing doubt, you quickly turned around.

"Ahhg, you got me"

"Lana?"

"The one and only" she replied with a broad smile

"But, what are you doing here...I"

"Relax, (N/N) I was called. I'm the second one after, you know...mom. I rushed down to this hick town just to see you. They told me everything, and here I am"

"How much of everything...no, no you know what,no. Lana, You can't be here, you need to go"

"What? No, why? I'm your sister (Y/N), you can't just ask me to leave. I just got here" she protested with her hands raised to make a statement.

"Thank you for coming down here, but you need to leave. It's not safe here" you susurrated the last bit and didn't care to notice that in the small amount of time that took you to give her the speech, you had gotten out of bed and walked towards the door. 

"(Y/N)..." she muttered her voice, a mix of fear and amazement

"No, I said no. I'm the oldest and you have to listen now"

"(Y/N)" she tried once more

"What?" Her finger raised trembling and signaling your way.

Your eyes connected with her shaking frame next to the bed. Then you realized, you had walked. With a broken leg you had made your way towards the door to protect your sister.

There was a slight problem with the miracle, though. She had seen it and now Penny would have to kill her. Panic flooded your system. He mustn't know, so you willed yourself to be calm and faced her once more.

"(Y/N) what's going on?" Her voice trembled and her body went slowly backwards trying to become one with the wall behind her.

"I can explain, but you have to trust me, yes?" She nodded still shaking

"First, we need to get out of here fast and this is what we're doing"

You explained what seemed credible first and she thought you had just fell into an abusive relationship with a stalker. But then you continued onward with the weird bit about the sewers an everything, leaving out the fact that he forced himself on you. She didn't needed that kind of stress.

At this point, she was calmed and her being open minded about all of this made it simpler. There was no need to calm her every ten seconds, she was taking it alright.

But this was sur going to be one hell of a ride. Your greatest fear being that, not only your sister was going to have to stay with you until you were fine but there was an in mentioned biography about your weird roommate. She was just going to face him in a couple of hours.

That made you nervous.
