Chapter Twenty Two

eyesore

Before we headed back to 2019, there was something I needed to do.

After, of course, I got checked out for the aftermath of driving some poor German man's Mustang into the side of St. Christopher's.  Thankfully, I was fine. I had a bit of whiplash in my neck but the nurse ( who's last name happened to be Kahnwald?? ) told me it would go away in a few days.

For the most part, we were all fine.

Except Noah.

We don't exactly know what happened in the church after we kids turned our backs, and frankly I don't want to know. It's between Noah, Ulrich and God now.

I headed down the hospital hallway to where I was assured Zacharias Kruspe was. Claudette had already been discharged but I had a feeling she would have gone to pay a certain someone a visit. 

the stark white, decoration-less walls of Winden's only hospital did nothing to ease my headache and added a sickly feeling to my stomach. I hated hospitals, spending enough of the last few years shuttling back on forth and giving blood just to find out that I might never have a child, and if I did, the pregnancy would not be easy. Needles also made me very squeamish, so there's that. 

Yeah, I hated hospitals.

Zacharias was propped up his bed, the black eye he now sported not doing anything to ruin the smile on his face as Claudette settled herself next to him. Beck and Ulrich were sitting in chairs across the room, and everybody seemed to be joking around and having a grand old time.

I knocked gently on the door, awaiting Z's approval before I entered the room.

"I thought you'd want to know- Ulrich shot Noah. He claimed it was self defence but I think it was revenge." I started.

"For Mads." The younger Ulrich spoke up from where he sat next to Beck. "That bastard killed my brother."

"Well, he's not killing anybody anymore." Claudette sighed

"I'm going back to 2019, but we have no idea how that inter-timeline thingy in the caves works." I sat on one of the extra chairs, staring down at my broken glasses "You should come visit every so often."

Beck nodded "For sure."

My phone buzzed in my back pocket. It was Jonas. They were waiting for me and Magnus by the caves.

I sighed. "I should head back." I stood up and gave Beck a quick hug before turning to my uncle "I know that you know that your life is going to get cut short. But for your own sake, don't live like that."

He nodded, letting go of his newly returned girlfriend ro wrap my upper body in a hug. "I'm so sorry I'm not going to be there for you anymore."

I shook my head "It's okay." I fought back tears as i spoke. "I have the closure I need now. Goodbye, Zacharias." 

I wiped my tears as I walked back down the hallway to where my boyfriend was waiting.

"Ready to go?" Magnus asked, holding out his hand

I nodded, interlacing my fingers with his. "Yeah. I think I am."
