Well, here we are. It's the last chapter. I hope you enjoy it. I like to read what you think about it. If you find some mistakes please report them to me. Thank you
As the location of my story I chose Hawaii during WWII because its history deserves to be known.
"Thank goodness Higgy, I thought I lost you .."
She didn't understand why Tom called her by that name and where she was...
"Tom, first you kiss me, then you call me by another woman's name!" she said trying to wriggle to get up
Magnum was baffled for a second "You can't get up you must have hit your head ... Do you remember your name? Who am I?"
"Sure, I'm Julia Hayashi and you are Tom Morales"
"Oh God, no. You are Juliet Higgins and I'm Thomas Magnum"
She looked confused...
Magnum picked her up
"Now let's go to the hospital ..."
Finally, after Magnum took a few steps screaming "Kumu, I found Higgins unconscious, I'm taking her to the hospital ... she must have a concussion ...", Higgins roused himself from the dream and the feeling of being someone else.
"Magnum, Magnum put me down, immediately. I'm fine and not thanks to you and the little ball of the Lads, you always leave it around"
"Thank goodness you recognize me now, you freaked me out" and he instinctively held her tighter. Higgins smelled his scent so close and her whole dream came back to her, her heart pounding in her chest harder.
"Higgy, are you okay? You're turning red ... let's go to the hospital and I don't argue with you about this"
He was scared to death, it was the third time he thought he had lost her ... see her on the ground, that she didn't wake up. He thought he would die too ...
They reached the Ferrari and after tinkering a bit to open the door, he placed her on the passenger seat. She shivered in her dress. He took off his uniform jacket and put it on her.
Higgy moved uncomfortably.
"Please don't move. I don't want you on my conscience," Magnum said
His jacket with that damned scent didn't help. .. she felt more and more irritated ...
"Yes, it's your fault, all because of you, damn it" and she began to cry, one of the very rare times that Juliet Higgins allowed herself to cry in front of someone.
Magnum was more and more shaken ... From the car he called everyone, even Kumu, who probably didn't hear him ...
Once we got to the ER, he relied Higgy to a doctor and waited. The guys arrived together with Kumu ...
"What exactly happened? She asked
"I found Higgins passed out on the floor and when I managed to wake her up she said her name was Julia Hayashi ... it's all my fault. I left the Lads' ball lying around. .. Let's hope she feels better..."
"Everything will be fine TM, you'll see"
TC is right" echoed Rick ...
The doctor arrived shortly after "She has a concussion, but she seems perfectly clear and in possession of all her mental faculties. She must stay awake and under observation for the next 24 hours."
"Can we see her?"
"Sure!"
"Can I stay here with her, check her out?" Magnum asked
"If you want, it's not a problem..."
"Thank you"
"Hey Higgy you gave us a good scare ... so how do you feel?" said Rick
"Better thank you! But you are missing the commemoration, go, I'll be fine, there are doctors ..."
"Are you sure?" said Kumu
"Yes"
"But you have to stay awake and we can stay here and keep you company" said TC
"I don't think they will allow everyone to stay ..."
"So let's take turns" said Magnum "I'll be there for tonight! Then you will come"
"Okay. I'll come in the morning," Kumu said
"TC and I will take over"
"Thanks guys, but there would be no need"
"No, no ... we always help each other" said TC
"Now let's go. Bye Jules. Tommy"
"Bye Higgy baby. Please don't sleep. TM"
"And who's going to sleep? With Magnum who'll find a way to bother me all the time"
"You can swear, you won't sleep a wink"
"Bye, guys"
Magnum pulled up a chair and sat down next to Higgins
"Will you tell me who Julia Hayashi is? And why did you call me Tom Morales?"
"It's so strange, but they are the people we were in my dream"
"Was it a good dream?"
"We were all, here, in Hawaii during World War II ..."
"Robin's photo ..."
"What do you say?"
"Your dream comes from Robin's photo"
"It must be so…"
"So, if you remember, tell me what happened in your dream"
Higgy told him almost everything about her dream of her, but she omitted the story of the dance, the kiss and the court that he had done to her like Tom Morales ...
She took a long time to tell and when she finished Magnum told her
"You could compete with Robin, with this story ... first the estate then also the literary talent ..."
"Stop Magnum from talking nonsense .."
"But the story is missing one thing ... the love story between the protagonists ..." he said jokingly
Higgins realized that he probably remembered her first words when she woke up from the fall"
"There aren't always love stories in novels, do you know?" She said blushing
He felt thorn about asking her about the kiss, he had never thought that Juliet Higgins might be interested in him...he thought of throwing her on the joke, but then decided to wait because he wanted to tell her something else, and after a moment of silence he said:
"Sorry Higgy, because of me you risked getting seriously hurt, I risked ..."
"Leave it alone Thomas, everything went well, I had to look where I was putting my feet and then I bet you won't play with the Lads' ball anymore without putting it in its place" she said. She got out of bed, intending to reach the bathroom, but she turned her head and ended up straight in Magnum's arms ... they looked at each other for a moment, their faces close together, her heart pounding ... Magnum had never seemed more beautiful to her and kind of that moment.
He looked back at her ... "Be careful, you got to go slow .. luckily I was there to catch you. I promise that I'll get the ball in its place and that from now on I will always catch you if you fall ..."
In the distance from someone's room came the same music ...
?I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön?
?So kiss me and say you understand?
