Chapter 14

"Hey mama, can i go out to play with my friends", i ask finishing my bowl of soup.

"Ofcourse niña, go, go out and play, Tú papá y mamá se quedarán aquí", she says cupping my little cheek.

"Cassy, wanna go out and play?", A boy comes and asks my young self, "yes, lets go", is all i said.

The other little kid started to count from 1 to 10 and the boy who invited me to play drags me behind a tree near the bush, saying it would be the perfect spot to hide.

I woke up with the sound of a device beeping behind me, wires attached to my body as i try to get up but put down by the doctor.
Really?

"You shouldn't get up, senorita", he says, carrying a chart and a pen in his white long sleeve coat pocket, his Spanish accent calms my veins for some reason.

"How long have i been alseep", i ask placing a palm to my throbbing head, "a week", the doctor simple says. "What the-", what happend?", i question, rubbing my forehead, trying to remember what happend.

Just then comes in a man smiling ear to ear, his hair tousled, wearing a white v-neck and black trousers, and his smiles, "Well, my brother's house was raided, and the men shot you, my brother and ofcourse my beautiful nanna Jenna, then i come asap as Zane my boy gives a call and i pulled you guys out just in time, but those bastards escapes", he says, I can't help but feel the immense guilt of what i put jenna and Zane through, it was because me they got hurt, "Although, what we do not know is how they found the location", he finishes, while holding a calculating thought placing bis fingers on his chin.

guilt seeping through each vein inside my body, A glimpse of Arons evil smile flashes through my mind.

"Do I know you?", i ask, breaking my train of thoughts.

"Ofcourse you do", he snorts, more than happy just to hear my voice, "you just can't remember", he grins, "Its nice to finally meet you, Cassidy, I'm Diego", he lets out an arm.

And i return the gesture, "um, I'm not sure what to say, but thankyou for pulling us out in time Diego", i resort. "Its alright, and your welcome". He says and kisses the back of my palm, "til next time",

In return he earns a smack from the doctor, "owww", he whines holding his head, "you can go now", the doctor said, "jeez, alright Dr. Rodriguez, see ya arround", i nod in response, my heart heavy from the pain of putting jenna and Zane through what i had brought them upon.

My mind was suddenly clouded with the whereabouts of jenna and Zane, where are they, deciding to mirror my thoughts, "where is Zane and Jenna?", i ask Dr. Rodriguez.

"Dont worry, they are recovering really well", i let out a comforting sigh i didnt know i had, thankful they are alive, "you are very brave", the doctor says, I give him a soft smile, I wanted to see them, see from my own eyes they are okay, but that would be selfish of me, to hurt them and to even think, i deserved them, my thoughts shift to that one person, Aron, I will find you Aron, I will and i will kill you.

I glance at the doctor, "when can I be discharged?", my voice stale as unmoving water, void of what had happend and hunger for revenge, hunger is a strong word, but what after Aron did i can't help but feel nothing, he took my virginity, shot me and shot the people i love, everything is making sense from what brian said to my own conclusion.

"You can go tomorow, right after we do a final checkup, the doctor replies, I nod.

I wanted to see them, i wanted to see them breathing and alive, they went through a hard time because of me, "Can i see them?" I look desperately at him, he notices my impatience, "sure, follow me".

I was led into a room, dimly lit and in the corner near the window covered with bushy flowerpots lies Jenna, my eyes starts to water at her recovery, she seems awake and i rush towards her.

Dr. Rodriguez places a chair and i take a seat, intertwining my fingers with hers, i lean in kissing them, "you're awake", my voice breaking, "ofcourse dear, this old mama ain't going nowhere", she says swiping my hair with her free hand.

I laugh alittle closing my eyes, happy, shes here, happy she has not left my side. I miss my mom. I want her to meet jenna. I just miss everyone, "Thankyou my dear, if it wasn't for you I'd be in heaven right now", she jokes.
I let a little chuckle as i grip her hand more tighter.

"Go and see him", she kisses my hand. I nod in return and places her hand gently on her healing stomache.

The doctor agrees to show me his room as he takes in I'm alright to walk abit, i was led yet again to another room of boldness and luxury.

Then my gaze takes a pause at the most beautiful man infront of me, i walk towards him, lifting a chair not allowing Dr. Rodriguez to do it for me this time.
"Can you give me a moment", i smiled, and he nodded, closing the door behind him.

And now I'm left in the room with the man infront of me, who takes my breath away, the man i betrayed, tears yet again threatening to tremble down as my heart is free of hurt and pain of losing someone, because of what i did. I hold his hand interwine my fingers with his.

he is beautiful, i trace my fingers across the scar, pass his soft eyelashes and when I'm near his lips he gets a hold of my hand.

He opens his eyes slowly, his goldish brown eyes taking me in,
He tightens his grip arround me and my heart flutters, filling my stomache with butterflies,
"I thought you were gone", my voice near to a sob, he brings his hand and cups my cheek, bringing his forehead to mine "I'm here kitten, I'm here",his deep husky voice speaks, his glance is on me as i, on him, our faces getting closer by the second, his lips captures mine, smooth and passionate, sending electrifying bolts through me, as he kisses every inch of my lips as if he has waited years to get a taste of me from a long time and he is savouring every bit of it.

He pulls off looking straight into my eyes,"I'm sorry you had to go through all that", he says.

"Im sorry Zane, I was the one who led them", my voice breaking at the end and the shame of being unable to look upto his face, the guilt rising every passing second

"What, how?".

"I called Aron, with a phone i found on the counter and i told him the adress", i say in a whisper.

He took several minutes to digest what i had just said, "Im sorry Zane, I know i dont deserve you, I'm sorry", i whisper as i was about to stand up to leave but then he stopped me and tilted my chin up so i could face him, and his face held a neutral touch.

He pulls me in a hug,"Whats done is done cassidy, and i forgive you, I know you didnt mean it and I'm sorry too", he states.

He lets go and holds my hands,"You are such a brave woman", his voice stern and the glow in his eyes shows just how proud his is, "you are the bravest and most strongest woman I've ever met in my life and Thankyou for being born, kitten", he finishes.

"Thankyou for shielding me", i kiss the back of his palm, and see the his eyes twinkle with an expression i can't quite capture.

He gets up and pulls me towards him, now I'm on the bed, both of us laying side by side, i make sure not to hit any vital places, he adjusts the blanket so we both are under the covers, "I will always protect you My love", he kisses my forehead.

My heart skips a beat at what he had just said, if this was in the first day I met him i would have surely slapped him, but now i can't me more happy than to just embrace his scent and burry myself under his warm breath as we both fall under slumber in the arms of the person that stole my heart.
