No lies between us

Chapter 10

I'm dead inside the only time I leave my room is if it's mandatory. I can tell Maya has been moving on she's had two other people in her room at all times. I don't see how she could just move from Hope like that. Mg, Penelope, and I have been mourning together considering they've known her for years and I was her lover. The three of us are walking to the brief room the first room I saw Hope in when we first got here. The President is on the screen and every agent is here except one.
"As you may have seen we lost our best agent out there but she took out our main threat, Kai Parker. Today she receives the Medal of Honor-" the doors open and I swear I think I've seen a ghost. Hope walks in holding her side and cuts and bruises everywhere. Everyone gasps.
"Thanks for the rescue." She says and Mg, Penelope, and I immediately run to catch her as she falls over. Black soot all over and holes in her clothes. I stop myself from crying to seem strong but it's becoming very hard. The three of us pick her up and carry her to the infirmary. They get her cleaned up and in a hospital like room. She seems so peaceful and content her face is soft and calm. I am NOT leaving her side till she wakes up. The nurse leaves the room and I grab Hopes hand as the door shuts.
"Hope. I really miss you and while you were gone I um really just wanted to kiss you and hold onto you. I didn't want to accept the fact that you were dead. I love you, Hope and I don't want to let you go. I won't let you go. So please. Please come back to me." I sob lightly. And I close my eyes to stop crying.
I feel a light squeeze on my hand and I look up to Hope fluttering her eyes open. Hope looks around in a daze and when her eyes meet mine I sit up.
"Hey." I say tearing up again.
"Hey." She croaks.
"You were really beat up, but the doctor says you'll make a full recovery." A tear streaks my cheek.
"Hey... I'm okay." She wipes it away with her thumb and keeps her hand there "I promise. I'm not gonna die anytime soon." I put my hand over hers.
"I was really scared Hope. I don't want to lose you again." I cry.
"And you won't." She let's a tear escape her eye. "I promise."
"Um you should know that Maya has-"
"I know."
"You do?"
"She told me while you were asleep as you can see we're not engaged." She shows me her hand with no diamond ring making me smile wide.
"I love you."
"I love you too." We meet in the middle and her soft lips meet mine once again. I set my hands on her neck with her on my cheek. After a long kiss I pull away to breathe. "You're very hot and sexy but your breath is a little gross."
I scoff playfully.
"Look who decided to come back to the land of the living." Penelope and Mg come in standing on the other side of the bed.
"Yeah cause who would keep you two out of trouble ." Hope says trying to sit up but fails from her side.
"No. I don't think so you're going to rest till I say you can get up." I say in an authoritative towards Hope, surprising the rest of them."
"Okay, mom." Hope sticks her tongue at me.
"Fine then get hurt and no more cuddles for the rest of the day."
"Fine. I'm sorry. Please forgive me?" Hope gives me puppy face. I give in, of course.
"Alright. Alright." I smile.
"That was absolutely adorable."
"I am envisioning kids." Penelope says with a smirk. "Maybe they won't be a bitch like you, Hope."
"Well it got me what I want."
"Can't argue with that." I laugh. We start laughing but I can tell it hurts Hope. A man in a suit walks in and we all stand up and straighten out.  It's the President.
"Agent Mikaelson. Glad to see you are doing well."
"Thank you sir."
"Actually what I'm about to say next pertains to you four. I'm putting you on the reserves list so you can go back home."
