Chapter 17

Maya's POV

I thought being kicked and slapped around by my parents was the worst thing that could ever happen to me.

I was wrong. This is.

Sitting on the edge of Alex's bed watching her lifeless body. Nothing, there is nothing. She isn't breathing, she isn't moving.

Mr Woods says this is when her body will heal. They explained only parts of it. I guess Alex said they can't tell me anything else. But apparently she had silver in her body, which prevented her from healing. I am so confused because silver doesn't affect her. She told me.

So now that the silver is out, her body needs time to heal. There is still a chance for her to die though. There is a lot of damage to her body. She is really badly hurt.

It's been five hours. I have been sitting here, just watching her. Lily and her parents came over but I didn't even go down to greet them. I am not leaving her side. Not now, not ever.

I can't live without her. She makes me so happy and I feel so safe with her. I feel like I can do anything with her by my side. And she always encourages me to do everything I want. She doesn't conceal me from anything. She just wants to be there and I want her to be there, always.

I have never felt heartbreak before and I guess this is it. My heart is broken, my life is shattered into pieces. Is this what it feels like to love someone and then your heart breaks?

Wait.

I love her?

Of course I do. Why do I even think about it? She is everything to me. She is all I ever want and need. I want to be with her for the rest of my life.

I move a bit closer to her face. The blood is now wiped off but she still looks horrible.

I put my hand on the side of her face and wipe another fallen tear from my eyes because ever since I walked through that door I haven't stopped crying.

"Alex" I whisper. "Please don't leave me. I need you to come back. I need you to heal and get better. I wish there was something I could do. I would do anything for you."

I slowly stroke my thumb over her cheek. "I can't live without you. I-I"

"I love you Alex" I cry out.

I find myself laying next to her and sobbing. I cling onto her shirt and hold it against my face. What if this is it? What if I am holding onto her and she doesn't come back?

What if she dies and I never got to tell her how I feel?

....

I don't know how long I have been here. I don't know if it's still Friday. I don't know if I even slept. I knew I was crying the whole time. I probably cried in my dreams as well.

But a slight movement makes me frown because that is not me. I don't have the strength to move. My body is weak and numb.

Then I feel it again.

I slowly open my eyes and I swear I saw her chest move up and down. I lift my head and keep my eyes locked on her chest.

A few seconds later it rises and falls which makes me almost jump up from the bed.

"Alex?" I whisper not sure if I should touch her but I want to.

I hear a breathless groan coming from her mouth and I panic. "Alex just relax, just breathe. You are ok. I am right here baby" I whisper.

Her breathing becomes more regular with every passing minute but she is still unconscious. I really just want to shake her and slap her for scaring me like that but she is in pain.
