The Tenth Walker - Aragorn Fanfiction

I die less than before

The machines around me start beeping as I slowly open my eyes for a second time.

I am not in Middle Earth anymore!
The oxygen mask around my nose and mouth feels heavy as I breathe in. 'Sara!' Tess, she sits in a wooden chair next to my bed. 'I thought I lost you!' Her arms fold around my neck as she cries. 'I' I start, but where do I start?

What can I tell? They all think that I am delusional..

'Sara!' Jason. He rushes into my hospital room, his expression is unreadable. He stops as he looks at me. 'Sara, I'

'I shall leave you two alone' Tess says as she stands up from her chair. 'You know what I said!' She sneers at Jason before she exits the room. 'Jason' I say as I take the oxygen mask from my face. I breathe deep in as I look at the man I once loved.

Once.

I love another know, someone who would never betray me.

Aragorn.

My hearts skips a beat when I think about him and the machines starts beeping again. I smile a little.

'Sara, calm down. Put your mask back on' Jason says, not looking at me. 'Can you tell me what happened?'

He sighs deeply and looks at me. 'I was running after you-'

'I know that, but when I hit the water..' I say cutting him off. 'I saved you, I mean. I jumped after you. You hit the embankment and your head-' He shivers at the thought. 'It was bleeding so badly. I didn't think you were going to make it'

Suddenly his hand is on my own. 'Hey, don't mess with your IV' I stare at his hand on my own, I feel nothing. Only relieve that I am alive.

And sadness.

Heartbroken.

'Please go' I say, no more than a whisper. 'Sara' I look at him, not wanting him here any longer. 'I said go. I told you before Jason. It is over'

The shock in his eyes changes in anger, no rage. 'I saved you' He spits at me. 'And still you don't want me back!' He backs away from my bed. 'I should have let you drown' He roars. Instead of being afraid at him, I feel only anger and sadness. Sadness for him.

'Bye Jason' I say, not wanting to make it worse. He storms away and seconds later Tess is inside my hospital room. 'Are you okay?' She says, tears forming in her eyes. I nod. 'Yes, never felt better' I smile and it is true. I am free of him.

But my heart is broken because I can never go back to Aragorn.

My Aragorn.

Three days later, I am fired from the hospital. Tess brings me home and Jason brought all my stuff to her place. Tess doesn't want to say what he said to her. But it's okay.

I am done. With a big sigh I sit down on her sofa. I bring my knees up to my chest and fold my arms around it. 'Hey, you okay?' Tess asks me quietly as she sits down next to me. 'No'

She takes my hand. 'Sara it is over. He is gone. Really gone'

'I know' Is all I say as I stare at the bookcase. "The Fellowship of the ring by J.R.R" Then it hits me.

The books!

'Sara?' Tess I waving in front of me. 'Are you sure you are okay?' She says worriedly. 'Yes, I am just feeling tired'

'Seconds ago you said no'

'I know! But I don't know how I feel or how I have to feel'

'How?' She asks me. I shrug. 'Yes, he saved me. But also cheated on me. I just don't know'
