My sapphire

Chapter Twenty-Seven

The next couple of days went by in a blur and not to my surprise at all sapphire had been doing good.  It's amazing how  determined she was to getting her strength back somehow that gave me pride.. I don't know exactly why it did but the feeling vibrated through me anyway.

I didn't mind it but the fact that sapphire had been in a coma almost a whole week ago and is now up and walking and doing great might I add is kinda insane!  I mean she's taking a few things slow but other then that she was doing really good.

My eyes wandered to Sapphire who had been picking up her clothes that were spread out on the hospital bed and packed them away,  I however didn't do anything but drink in every detail of her like is was water.

She was breath taking the glow in her skin was back and her lips were back to the beautiful rose pink, "You're stunning."  I blurted out not really thunking at the moment. 

Sapphire cheeks warm up at the sound of my words and it brought and even bigger smile to my face,   She shook her head and finished putting her belongings in her bag then put it down beside the bed and walked right into my arms.

She hugged me tightly, "Thank you for still being here." She looked up at me and mimicked my smile her shinny white teeth gleamed back at me, "I know your tired and my problems aren't your problems but I'm glade you stuck around." She kissed my forehead and let go of me taking her warmth with her.

"You ready to go? I got your discharge papers from your doctor." Sapphires dad Quinnen spoke up and grabbed her bag off the floor, "Before I drop you two off at the house I have to stop by my office but I won't be long." I nodded my head and followed behind sapphire who had already made her way out the room and down the hall.

I caught up to her as she was just stepping off the last step to the first floor, "Hey, You good?" I asked the slightly taller female beside me, "You seem.. irritated." I scratched the back of my head trying my best to not irritate sapphire even more.

The slim beauty let out a breath of exhaustion and slowed down her pace as we walked out the front double doors of the hospital. "No, dealing with my parents isn't exactly sunshine and rainbows and now that I'm finally out of the hospital I can tell you right now I'm never going to be left alone again." I could feel the agitation rise in sapphire and I tried to redirect the conversation.

"Well if you don't wanna deal with your parents mine and amethyst place is pretty quite most the time." My cheeks started to warm up as I spoke. "If you wanted to stay I'd be okay with it and we both know for a fact amethyst wouldn't mind the company." Sapphire and I stopped in front of a blue mini van that was parked in the hospital loop must have been the new car sapphires parents had gotten.

"Are you sure you wouldn't mind?" I let out a soft laugh and placed a hand on sapphires shoulder, "Ruby, Its seriously okay if you just said it to be nice I-" Hushing her I dropped my hand from her shoulder and stepped back.

"Look I invited you to stay at my place and I meant it so are you gonna stay or go home." I laughed at her again and opened the door to the car and got in. "No but seriously you always have a place to stay with me." I pointed out to sapphire and slid over another seat so sapphire could sit.

In no time sapphires dad caught up to us and was in the drivers seat throwing sapphires bag to the passengers side. "Hey, Dad I'm gonna be staying at Rubys." Sapphire spoke slowly,  We were out of the parking lot and down the empty street in seconds but the drive was pretty awkward and the silence didn't make it any better.

The drive seemed to go on forever and honestly, it was suffocating, "What? It's your first night out of the hospital don't you wanna be home?" I gulped and looked out the window at passing trees I knew enough to know that this wasn't gonna go the way sapphire wanted but with me here she'd definitely get her way.

I grabbed sapphires hand and squeezed it making her jump a little in surprise but somehow it gave her that little bit of courage she needed to say her truth, "No, I don't." Sapphires dad hit the break without any warning and immediately I placed my arm over sapphires chest to keep her from flying forward.

I let out a breath as sapphires father tried getting her to change her mind but she wasn't caving, I felt bad for not saying anything but I knew sapphire had it handled it just agitated me how her dad was treating her like a child honestly what confused me the most was were he got the audacity! to speak to her the way he was because it wasn't okay.

"Your staying home! There is no option I don't care if you don't want to stay home because your going home weather it's what you want or not." My eyes where on sapphire the entire time it looked like she could burst into tear by the tone of his voice at any second and without another thought I unbuckled both of us and reached over sapphire to open the car door immediately sapphire stepped out the mini van and waited for me.

"What do you think your doing? I was talking to my daughter!" He tried grabbing my arm but I was already out the vehicle and shutting the door in his face. I turned towards sapphire grabbed her hand and started jogging but slowed my pace as I heard a car rush off in the opposite direction.

"Awe! I didn't grab my bag and my dad was about to have the biggest hissy fit of the year!" Sapphire laughed out I shrugged my shoulders, "You can wear some of my clothes and your dads a bit of an ass." I said still gripping sapphires hand as we crossed the street and kept walking.

"My dad can be yeah." She trailed off, "But he's better then my mom she's a control freak." My heart strings pulled at that it hurt me that her parents were unemotional robots and that someone as kind as sapphire had to grow up isolated and completely alone with them.

"If I scared you,  I'm sorry but the situation we were just in was bullshit."   My teeth clenched and I took in a breath so I wouldn't upset myself,  "Sapphire some of the stuff your father was saying to you should have never been said and it was completely uncalled for And him pushing on the break like that and you almost flying up to the dashboard!  I'm just so fucking mad right now!"   I'm pretty sure by now I had smoke coming out my ears and by the look that was on sapphires face it seemed I did.

A soft hand squeezed mine pulling me out of my angry thoughts that swarmed around me,  "Ruby,  It's okay."   Sapphires voice reassured me and are fingers entwined,  "You can relax now,  Ruby you've been on edge for a while now I can feel It."  She rubbed my arm and chills ran up my spine, Her voice finally sliced through the thick air choking us but her sentence made my head spin slightly more then it had before.

It made my heart swell at the thought of her wanting me to be comfortable around her,   "When your around me, Ruby."   Sapphire started off slowly,  "Your free to relax and be comfortable."   Sapphire gave my hand another squeeze and motioned me to move forward as we began walking to are little safe haven. 

I felt something in my chest start to burn and ache but for some reason I was okay with the heart attack feeling and honestly it made me feel less numb now that I didn't feel alone anymore.

Thank god for Sapphire.
