Part 35BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP …
Do you know that saying, ¡Your life flashes right before your eyes¢. Supposedly it happens right before you die?
It happens when you¢re watching the one you love, your soul mate dying too.
Something dramatic changes inside of you and you beg, wish that you were in this place instead of him, that you could just take his pain away and make him ok and safe, that you could just die for him.
That¢s what I was thinking when they were transferring Eric in the emergency room closing the doors behind them, everyone were yelling and running, trying to save his life while I was standing in the middle of the hall emotionless. After I don¢t know how many hours a nurse came shocked that I was still standing where they left me and she took me for a quick medical examination, I wasn¢t in a bad condition, not physically at least. I only needed some stitches in my forehead and arm.
After a lot of arguments with my nurse she let me leave the room, I just deeded to be as near him as possible, and when I got into the hall again I saw them all. My mom, dad, David with Lisa and Jessica with Mike, mr Banner who was scared shitless about his nephew. My mom ran to me right away barely knocking me out with her tight embrace.
“Oh my God Carol! You¢re ok! Thank God you are ok baby”
I hugged her back and buried my face on her shoulder letting all the tears I was holding before roll down my cheek “I¢m sorry mom, I¢m s-sorry” I sobbed.
“it¢s ok baby, you¢re fine that¢s what matters, and he¢s going to be fine too. You¢ll see” she said with her soothing voice wiping all my tears away.
“I know” I sighed.
I hugged everyone and let them sooth me till a doctor came out and told us that Eric was ok, that he was saved by a miracle and he was lucky that he was taken care of before he lost more blood.

He was then lying on his bed still unconscious with me by his side, it had been hours since the time our relatives and friends were gone giving us time to rest so the only sound in the room were his still breathing and the beeping of the monitors.
Suddenly something changed in the atmosphere, his breathing lost his rhythm and I quickly moved my stare from the piece of paper I was holding to examine him and then I saw them..
The reason of my existence, his gorgeous, unique blue eyes looking straight at my hazel ones making my heart melt for once again. Then he met my eyes and flashed his breathtaking smile and I blushed right away.
“I love it when you do that” he said with his groggy voice looking at my burned cheeks.
“Are you ok?” I asked worried.
“never better”
“you scared me out there, I thought I would never be able to see-”
“shh” he shushed me and touched gently my cheek “let¢s just forget all these, shall we?”
I nodded dazzled. Even after a hell- tragic day he never loses his sexiness and beauty. It¢s ridiculous!
He grinned “what are you writing there?”
“oh is just a journal, I wanted to write to someone about you and since you were unconscious and I was alone here I thought that¢s a good idea” I said waving the little notebook.
“how long have I been unconscious?” he asked frowning.
“um.. ” I shot a glance on the clock above the bed “for about 11 hours, our friends and mr Banner are going to be here in a min”
“11 hours?!” he asked with shock “you¢ve being here beside me for 11 hours? Carol…” he added shaking his head and I laughed.
“No you silly-billy, I got a nap for a while, but I couldn¢t sleep anyway so I decided that listening to your soothing breathing and writing about you in my journal was more entertaining.”
He chuckled and then frowned “why couldn¢t you sleep?”
“Well, you know, from all those things that happened, it¢s gonna take a while… to forget that I almost lost you…” I murmured playing with his fingers “I thought that you were leaving me” I whispered with breakable voice.
He sighed and touched my chin lifting it up in order to look at him “Carol, I¢ll never leave you, you are my life now”
I was staring at him with tears in my eyes as a dull sob came “Come here” he whispered and without hesitation I fall into his arms –careful not to touch his wounded side- buried my face on his neck and crying my eyes out.
“Shh baby, you¢re safe now” he said stroking my hair at the same time “I¢m not going anywhere, I love you” he kissed my forehead.
“I l-love you so- so much!” I sobbed and then kissed his neck “and I¢m sorry for n-not listening to you w-when you told me t-to g-go home” I said wiping my eyes and moving away to look at him “that was my fault, nothing was going to happen if I just went home”
“no love, that was not your fault, don¢t say that. It was mend to be, it was a plan, they had made up their minds long ago before you decided to go back to the forest” he said honestly “I should have known that, I should have kept you safe with me rather than sent you home alone” he added.
“you didn¢t know, and I wasn¢t alone, I was with my brother, but I lied to him I told him that I was going to Lisa¢s because I needed company and he let me but.. i..” I sobbed again “God I¢m so stupid!”
“no you¢re not!” he denied and he added smiling “let¢s just say that everything was gonna be easier if you were less reckless and stubborn.” He chuckled kissing my palm.
“ugh!” I gasped and smiled “are you hurting?” I said worried after he made a grimace.
“no it¢s just… disturbing!” he grimaced again.
I shook my head “now who is the stubborn! Let me just move myself from your bed and call a nurse” I said but before I manage to stand on my feet he caught my arm “no before this” he demanded lowering my face with his hand and pressing gently his lips on mine.
Feather light at first, my whole body began to tingle with delight. I hummed against his lips as he parted them and thrust his tongue into my mouth testing my sent. The kiss deepened more and more as I molded my body to his settling my hands in the soft hair at the nape of his neck.
Suddenly I realized that we were full of lust and love that it was inappropriate there either for our both conditions or the place we were doing that so I broke our kiss breathless and touched his forehead with mine. “God, I missed that” he said breathless and I agreed humming before leaving the room to find a nurse that could help him.
