"Oh, please. It's like every other Cinderella movie. I don't see what do you like about this, we can watch every Cinderella movie and they'll all be the same," Anders complains as we watch the Cinderella movie. He doesn't seem to be a fan of it.
"No, it's not. This one is almost like the original story, then there's one that's more like a modern Cinderella. You just don't get it," I defend the movie and pull the blanket over my arms
"No, I don't get it and how on Earth are you still cold? The room is heated and you are under a blanket," he asks and pulls me even closer.
"It's cold. Don't you feel it?" I ask him and he laughs, he gives me a kiss on my forehead as someone knocks.
"No, don't leave. I'm cold," I say and try to convince him to not go to open the door. But he just laughs and kisses me when he goes to see who's knocking.
I pull the blanket up to my chin and close my eyes then wait for him to come back.
"Babe?" I hear Anders' voice and open my eyes. I see him sitting beside me and I can see Robert standing behind him
"Now?" I ask and Anders nods. I move into a sitting position and wrap the blanket around me. I can see Anders rolling his eyes but I just lightly hit him in the arm
"You have 2 minutes," I say and look at Robert. He takes a deep breath and starts talking
"You were right. You are my sister and yes I should put you first no matter what but if someone understands that's you because you were in a coma and you know how it feels when you wake up. Everyone put you first when you woke up because we were all scared about how would you react to things after coma. We never knew what to say to you because we didn't want to trigger anything. And you can't blame me for pushing you aside just for a second, you just can't. I wasn't even putting you second, I just tried to be there for my best friend and for my sister at the same time. So, I'm sorry but you can't blame me," he says and sits down beside Anders.
"No, I can't and I'm sorry for overreacting. I shouldn't have said that and let's just blame the hormones" I apologise and give him a hug. Then I move back into a lying position and pull the blanket up to my chin again.
"She says that she's cold," I hear Anders saying as he goes with Robert to the door. I hear how he closes and locks the door when he comes back.
"I really am cold," I say and let him under the blanket. He laughs and just pulls me closer
"So, where are we with the movie?" he asks and looks at the television
"I don't know, at the commercials," I say and bury my face into his chest. I can feel his warm arms around me and his lips on my head.
"I'm pretty sure that there's something more interesting to watch," I hear him murmur to himself and slightly laugh
"Don't you dare. I want to watch the movie until the end," I say and look at him. He rolls his eyes and I move into a sitting position, I wrap my blanket around me and unintentionally take his one too
"Now, I'm going to be cold," he says and moves into a sitting position. He takes his blanket away from me and covers himself with it.
"Not fair," I say just like the commercials end. We watch the last movie scenes without talking and I can feel my eyes getting teary.
"Are you seriously going to cry?" he asks me as he sees me. He puts his arm around me and pulls me closer.
"It's just hormones," I say as the tears start running down my cheeks, I wipe the tears away to see the last scene.
After the movie ends I move into a lying position and try to fall asleep but I can't, not really. I move from the left to the right side and then back but it doesn't help.
"Babe?" I hear Anders asking and I turn around and look at him. He turns off the television and moves into a lying position too.
"What's wrong?" he asks me and I turn away from him again. I close my eyes and hope that he'll give u.
"Charlotte, don't. Please," he says and puts a hand on my shoulder. I push the tears back but don't turn around.
"Please, not now, not tonight," I say and he sighs. He turns off the light and I feel how he puts his hand around me on my bump.
I try to fall asleep but am not really successful, I don't want to move because of his hand and it's killing me. We may have talked about it and I can act like everything is going to be okay but I know that it's not going to be okay. I know that there's nothing the doctors can do about it but I can't live like that. We are supposed to raise a child together and I don't know how can we do this if he doesn't even remember a thing about me, about us. But leaving him would mean that I don't love him anymore and I also have a job that includes him.
"You don't have to be here. The coach told you that you can leave," I hear some inner voice in my head.
I don't have to be here but I live in his house. I'm carrying his child under my heart. I'm wearing a ring he gave to me. I can't let him down now when he needs me. But he doesn't need me, he doesn't even remember me. If I leave now and don't look back I can manage. Mom and dad can help me raise the child, I can get a job somewhere else, I can cut all the ties with Robert and Anders and Kenneth and everyone else. I don't have to live like this. I can live as I want. I need to. I want to.
