12: Special Facility

Is it just me or are they pretty hot in this pic? Ant oh my gawd🤤

And I am sorry for the lack of updates. School is bothering me, my grades aren't that great (damn math) and I just can't connect to the story, everything I wrote sounded rubbish. I scribbled a lot and wrote lots of ideas, so I hope I am going to be able to upload a bit more often now😪❤️

And I want to thank you for all your nice and lovely comments! It really keeps me going and I love to read every single one❤️

And special thanks to wolflv2 ! You really helped with that idea of yours,❤️

Dec grapsed onto Ants still hand, holding it against his chest and placing soft kisses on the back of it, showing him that he is there for him. Always.

The smaller Geordie watched the calm features of his fiancé, and blinked rapidly as new tears began to form in his eyes. Everything went so well until it escalated completely. He didn't blame Christine and Sarha, of course not, that was only a natural reaction, hugging Ant after he was gone and came back to them.

The only problem was that it wasn't their Ant anymore.

Christine could only stumble back to the cold wall, as doctors and nurses rushed inside, figuring out what was happening and sedating Ant, holding him down as his arms flailed around, almost knocking one of the nurses out. He screamed and tried to break free but the sedative began to send his mind into a deep and hopefully relaxed sleep, his movements began to be less violent, until he stopped moving completely.

His eyes closed, his breathing content, it almost looked like he was sleeping peacefully. Almost.

Dec breathed out the air he was holding in, while watching the whole time, he felt his knees buckle and fell into the white chair he was sitting on before everything went out of control.

Heartbreaking sobs made him look up, seeing how Sarha was curled into a tiny ball, laying in her mother arms, burying her head into Christines chest.

He got up on shaky legs, walked towards the two shaken women and dropped to his knees. As he saw both of them in tears, he himself felt how the salty tears made their way down his cheeks.

"I am sorry"

Christine shifted her gaze from Sarha to look at Declan, and shook her head, stroking through her daughters long tresses.

"It's not your fault pet" she reached her hand out and gently wiped Dec's tears with her thumb, making him lean into the warm, gentle touch.

"B..but I should've warned you.."

"No pet, we should've been more considered. I- I...knew that..that he wouldn't be the same, but-" Christines lower lip began to shake, she tried to stop herself but the pain was too much, she held Sarha close to her, hiding her face in the crook of her neck and cried bitter tears.

Dec sat besides them and wrapped his arm around Christine, pulling her into her side and with the other hand gently stroked Sarhas hair, trying to give them as much comfort as he could, knowing that he needed this as much as they did.

"He just needs time..."

Dec once again placed another soft kiss on Ants hand, squeezing it as he did so and closing his eyes as the tears dropped from them. He bit his lips, trying to stop the tears but he couldn't help but think, what if Ant wouldn't recover? What if he won't remember? What if he would never be the same again?...
