Waste It On Me

Waking Up

As I come to, a noise to my right is continually beeping loudly and I wish it would stop. My eyes flicker beneath my lids and I try opening them only to find I cannot, I go into panic mode when I can't open my eyes. Was it all a dream? Was Damien saving me a dream? Am I still here in this horrible place?

I wrack my brain for answer only to still when hearing someone speak. "Is she ever going to wake up?" It's Rayne! Rayne I'm awake, I'm here. I feel like shouting at her. "It's been two weeks Cian." she says, I can hear her starting to cry and my heart breaks. I'm awake Rayne, somewhat.

"Rayne she'll wake up whenever her body heals, you seen what her back looked like." he reminds her, and I mentally frown, just how bad was it?

"She's strong Rayne, she'll come back to us when she's ready." he adds on, I feel a kiss on my forehead before a door opens and closes.

Footsteps stop somewhere in front of me before my hand is placed in a warm one. It wraps around my hand squeezing gently and I try my best to squeeze it back. "Kahlua, baby." Damien speaks, I want to cry for joy at hearing his voice, I try again to open my eyes in vain. I want to see him, I want to throw myself into his arms.

"I don't know if you can hear me or not...Victor told me to talk to you anyway." he pauses and I mentally beg him to continue, so I can keep hearing his voice.

"I miss you, I miss you so much. I was so scared when you wouldn't wake up that morning Kahlua." his hand shakes as he holds mine.

"I'm so sorry about pushing you away Kahlua, I didn't want to hurt you anymore. After loosing control in the bathroom, you forgave me so easily afterwards. What if you weren't able to have forgiven me? What if I ended up killing you in that process? That's where my thoughts were baby, I'm so sorry. I was in hell keeping you at arms length, not touching you. I pushed you away, right into Fane's trap." I hear him sniffle and I realize he's crying. My heart breaks, I want to cry with him.

"I-I love you so much baby, please come back to me." his words cause my mind to go into overdrive and the beeping noise increases erratically before all I'm once again surrounded by darkness.

Waking up this next time is easier, I try opening my eyes in the process of being blinded by the bright light flooding from the doors to my left, I close them again groaning in annoyance. Lifting my hand up I touch my forehead before rubbing it, sitting upright I look around the room only to realize I'm in Damien's room. Damien.

Swinging my legs over to the side of the bed I gently stand up, taking it slow. I remove the heart rate monitor from my finger. Walking softly to the door, I place my hand on the handle before twisting it open. I'm greeted by an empty hallway and I walk through it going to the stairs, I hold on to the rail before walking down them one by one, taking my time. My legs are still a little shaky and I don't want to fall.

I get to the bottom of them and walk straight to Damien's office, throwing the door open only to be greeted by nothing. I frown before turning around, walking to the kitchen in hopes of him being there. I'm once again disappointed as he's not here. Movement from outside catches my attention, I look out the French doors that lead onto the Veranda, I see Damien walk in front of the roses, kneeling down.

The only thing that goes through my mind is Damien, Damien. My legs walk briskly to the doors, opening them I walk to overlook the garden . "Damien." I shout, my voice is hoarse and thick with emotion.

He stands up abruptly, he spins around quickly, eyes wild and searching for me. "Damien." I cry out. The shock on his face is evident, he stands still as I watch him mouth try and form words. Walking down the steps I break off into a run, throwing myself at him and he catches me, wrapping his arms around me clutching me to him. "Are you real? Have I gone mad?" he questions in disbelief.
