Vengeance

3.5- rush of blood

Marco was seated on the front porch of Imogen's beautiful home. Imogen was next to him, placing her hand on his knee. I could tell she grew old in just the short months I knew her.

Gina was leaning against me as we stayed in the silence. After we left the jail we came back to Imogen's. Gina and I had screamed At each other. We threw things, she slapped me, we broke up, we kissed, we screamed, and made up.

That was a few weeks ago. The wounds to my life are slowly healing. The Horrible truth that became my reality was quickly turning bright.

Gina and I barely spoke now. All we would do is hold onto each other. Afraid that we would disappear at any moment. I would hold her in my arms and tell her I loved her, all night long. She would hold onto my chest and trace my tattoos. I would kiss her hair and she would kiss my chest.

The nights would be long because I could never sleep. As soon as sleep would take Gina, I would stay awake and watch her until eventually I would fall under its spell.

In the mornings Gina would go downstairs to comfort Imogen. Imogen had a hard time looking at me because I was still in such a bad shape from the wreck. It has been a few weeks since I had left the hospital. A total of 2 months had passed. My arm was healed to the point where I could wear a brace. My back was healed now, but it hurt in the mornings. My lungs and ribs were still a slow process.

I had went to the doctors almost every week to check my progress. Dr whetstone did not know how I was alive, but we were all thankful.

Currently, Gina grasped my hand as I stated at Marco. He had a warm smile on his face and he sighed.

"How are you son?" He asked me.

I smiled internally as he called me son. Marco was the only father I ever needed. Along side was Imogen. A mother figure to both Gina and I. Gina and I were perfect together. After out horrible fights and screaming matches, we grew closer.

We didn't always need to talk to realize how important we were to one another. She was patient with me too. She was always so patiently helping me. She wasn't the female Hitler like she was at the diner. She was calm. She was the Gina I grew to love.

I missed that Gina, but something changed within her after the accident. Gina rarely shows her sarcastic overbearing self. I tell her that I miss that Gina and she replies, "Shes still here." I don't know what's worse, me not knowing who I am, or Gina losing herself.

I look to Marco and I smile at him.

"Honestly, my life is shit. I don't know who I am anymore. I don't know who to be. I'm so confused all the time and I still am in pain." I say truthfully.

Imogen raises her hand to me and she glares. "Watch that mouth boy. I may have aged some but I will still whoop your bottom." She says.

I laugh and look to Gina. Her face bursts into that beautiful smile. I stand to my feet and grab her hand.

"We are going on a walk." I say to them.

Gina walks behind me and we descend the stairs of the porch. It felt like just yesterday I walked up the stairs intruding on Imogen.

Gina and I walked past the shed, through some woods, and to the place where I planned our first date.

Gina stopped and gasped. She had tears welled in the corners of her eyes. I smiled at her as I walked her to sit down in the tall grass.

"Harry, I have missed this place." Gina says.

I smile at her and hold onto her hand as I sit down.

"I have too. I come out here a lot just to sit. I come out here when I miss you." I tell her.

"How can you miss me when I'm right here?" She says.

"I miss my Gina. I want you. Only you. I know that you were scared after what happened, I am too." I tell her.

"I don't know how to be her anymore."

I wipe away her tears. I place a soft kiss to her plump lips and rub her cheek with my thumb.

"Yes you do."

She giggles and she places a kiss to my lips. "Your right. I'm just afraid.. I feel like if I... Then you'll..." She says but can't finish.

"Hey.. Shh." I wrap her in my arms and pull her tight.

"I don't want to ever be away from you British Boy." She says.

"You never have to be. The world tried to kill me once. I survived. I'm not going anywhere right now." I reassure her.

"Life happens Harry. You could die tomorrow." She points out.

"Yes and you could die right now. Nothing is certain Gina. Nothing is guaranteed. We need to live in this moment. Here right now. We need to star gaze and kiss under them. We need to be close now, for who knows what tomorrow will bring. Surely there will be heartache, but I know in this very moment that our love is endless, and I'm with you. And your all I want." I tell her.

She jumps onto my lap and tramples me with her lips. She is kissing me through her tears. I run my hands through her raven hair and she holds onto me tightly.

"Did you get that from a book British boy?" She asks.

"I most certainly did not!" I reply.

She giggles. I smile deeply and she kisses my cheeks.

"Smile more. Show those beautiful crevices in your face." She says to me.

I look into her beautiful brown eyes and I know that I would love her endlessly for the rest of my life.

Gina was the light at the end of my tunnel. She was the one that saves me from myself. She was the one that helped me conquer the world. She was the one that helped me overcome it all.

I looked up to the sky and thanked whatever the hell was up there. Maybe there was a God and maybe just maybe, He was looking down on me right now, smiling.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 this is the final chapter to vengeance...
