A/n: GH does not belong to me, only the OC does.
I was wondering back to my consciousness. The first thing I felt, as I came back to the world of the living, was a skull splitting headache. My body was limp and it ached at several places. The all too familiar symptoms were back again. I stared upwards, watching the carvings on the ceiling, absently following their patterns with my eyes. My mind however was distant, searching and latching onto a memory that I had always wanted to all but forget. The memory...no...the memories, all of them were...no...are, they are still very dear to me. His face registered itself in my fore brain and our time together was then a slide show of memories, flashes , guilt and longing. I still long for him, his touch, his hands and his...his... everything. A tear escaped the corner of my eye and then flowed down a stream of tears. Tasting salty and bitter, blurring my vision into a floating image of his smiling face.
"So, you are still suffering Hana?" a distant sound stirred me from my reveries and pulling me back to the present.
The voice, that voice... I know it... that voice, it's his voice... but how? How is he here? I need to talk to him, he might know something. In a matter of seconds, I turned my head, and there he was standing; tall, stoic and proud as always, his hair covering a portion of his face and his hands folded...as always. I unknowingly smiled at the familiar display of mannerism. He was still the same. He was looking outside of the window of the lecture hall.
Then it occurred to me, I was still in the lecture hall, not only that but I was lying on the ground and professor Davis? Where was Professor Davis? I looked all around in search of him and found him standing not quite far away from the stoic man of my past. He was standing in quite the imitation of the proud and stoic Lin. His navy hair is so similar...no no these thought... they should not be encouraged. I stood up dusting my pants and strolled weakly towards the two men.
"Hello Lin, we meet again." I offered with a small smile.
The man in question turned towards me and stood leveling his eyes to mine. My professor, the great Davis turned to look at our interaction, admittedly shocked due to the lack of his knowledge of our past relationship.
"Hana, you have not changed one bit" he said with a small and rare smile "you have grown up though." he added making me blush slightly. I had never imagined hearing something like this from the great workaholic Lin. He moved and stood in front of me.
"I have searched for you after that incident" he turned his head to look at my professor "Oliver, could you leave us alone for a while?" Oliver Davis nodded his head and left to wait outside the hall. So he had an inch of control on my professor as well. My lips upturned in wry humour.
"Ya, I kind of had disappeared from my locality for a while" pausing for a while and looked at my feet in embarrassment. I should have known he would search for me "I was at my grandmother's place." I finished with a sigh.
"You still hold yourself responsible, don't you?" never expecting the question from him, I turned to look at him and was pinned by his serious expression.
"Yes..." was all i could reply. I could not lie to him even if I wanted to. He placed his large hand on my head like he used to and gave a light pat to it.
He sighed and moved closer to me bending his face down a bit, "just know this, he would never come back."
The tears I had wanted to hold back all these years came down in a torrential flow. He moved to hug me and enveloped me in his comforting embrace. The comfort and the homely protectiveness was still intact in his ' unavoidable circumstances hugs' or as he always used to term his little show of emotions.
I nodded my head as I kept on drenching his black shirt with my tears "I know big brother, Lin" I softly said into his shirt, the words muffled by my choked voice.
I'll like to see if any one of you could take a clue about who this "he" in this chapter, actually is. I would like to see what you lovelies would come up with.
Read and review lovely people.
