I shot up in pain from a nightmare which made me cry out
"Hey hey don't move so quick here"
Tom laid me back down carefully placing a pillow behind my head so I was in a more comfortable position and grabbed some water from the hospital bedside table and helped me drink it.
"From all that I've been through this has gotta be the most painful"
"All you've been through? Something compares to this?"
I completely forgot I hadn't told Tom about my actual life and the whole reason I even met him
"I just mean life's tough you know and sometimes emotional and mental pain is worse than physical one you know?"
"No I do get you i had a lot of trauma when I was younger but that's a story for another day"
"I hope that one day you feel like you trust me enough to share it with me"
"I do trust you but let's save it for when we're talking about our future together and when you're not in hospital groggy and stinky"
"Hey!"
"Miss carolina?"
"Yes"
"You're results are in it seems as though you have a bit of internal bleeding from the stab wound so we will do a small operation and then tomorrow you should be alright to go home but there is going to be at least a month of bed rest"
"I will be sure she gets lots of it doctor thank you"
"Another operation whoop"
"At least tomorrow I can take you home taking about home I was wondering if you wanted to stay with me since Maggies in LA for her tour and I live alone and you need someone"
"Stop rambling I will gladly stay with you it will make me feel 100 times safer"
"Really?"
"Yes"
He gave me a quick peck and we got me ready for the operation.
As I was being wheeled off to the theatre room I passed by a man who looked exactly like my father but couldn't possibly since he made it clear he didn't want to talk to me again.
"Okay we're going to give you the anaesthetic and you're going to count backwards from 10 all right?"
"Yeh"
I felt the sting of the needle in my vein and began counting.
"10. 9. 8. "
Everything got slower and I eventually was knocked out.
I woke up back in a hospital room in a different part of the hospital where there was no noise and no light just a small flickering white light from the corridor and especially no Tom which made me anxious just to not be near him.
I decided to call for a nurse but no one seemed to be there when I see my father on the door.
"I really hope you learned your lesson"
"You did this?"
"Me and your Giovanni you know he's very keen on you I would suggest marriage to strengthen our family that you ruined"
"I just wanted to be happy you couldn't do that you couldn't just let me leave and live a life?"
"Carolina your my warrior my especial weapon where's the fire you used to feed off?"
"You've never supported me ever you've never congratulated me or even appreciated my existence I've never had a glimpse of any good thing from you all you've done is put me against everyone else and tell me how I'm not good enough"
"Carolina! Carolina!"
"Is that lover boy who was meant to die?"
"Do not!"
"Carolina thank god who are you?"
"I'm her father"
"Pleasure to meet you sir"
They shook hands and I have Tom a stare to try and indicate to not converse with my father.
"I think you were just leaving don't you think father?"
"Oh certainly not I think I was just arriving"
"So Tom isn't it ive heard plenty about you, you've had a rough life boy"
"How do you know my life"
"I know everything about you I mean after all hasn't carolina told you the real reason she even took an interest in you?"
