Chapter 12
Forgetting


At the hotel

Jin opened their room door and led Nina in. ~She hasn't said a word since we left the hospital...she looks somewhat dazed...At least the crying stopped...I wish there was something I could do to take the pain away but I dont think there is...~ Jin thought as he watched Nina walk to her bed and slide under the covers. Her eyes didn't seem to focus on anything...like she was in a trance...or a robot.

Jin sighed. "Nina...I know this must-"

"Please go...I want...to be alone right now..." Nina spoke in what seemed like an emotional-lacking tone...

Jin was slightly taken aback but nodded and left the room.

Nina closed her eyes...the tears started again.


Jin

~I guess I really shouldn't blame her for wanting to be alone...She needs to think this through...If only I could have done more...But what?~ Jin shook his head to try and clear his thoughts. He walked out of the building and took a deep breath, enjoying the evening air. Having nothing to do, he decided to take a walk and try to forget all his problems.


Back at the hotel

Nina got up and changed into her night gown...she didn't feel like wearing the outfit she had worn in the battle where she critically injured her very own son.....She threw the clothes into the trash, disgusted by the sight of them...she didn't want to be reminded of what she had done...even if it was an accident...
~But it's still all my fault...It was my power that put him in the hospital...it was my body...it was me~
She slid back in bed and tried to fall asleep...hoping to escape reality for at least a few hours. But instead of sleep, she found herself thinking about her son...and Jin...


Jin came back to the room at 1 AM...He had hoped the walk would free him of his troubled mind but it didn't...through out the entire time, the only thing he could think about was Nina, her son, and how much he loved her...

Jin peeks over to where Nina's bed is, and sees that she is already asleep. He grabs a pair of boxers and went to the bathroom to change.

After changing he walks in between his and Nina's bed. He was about ready to climb into his own, when he hears a sound escape from Nina. So he turned around and bent down, looking at her. The blanket was only covering her lower body (waist on down), and the black spaghetti-strapped night-gown showed off her shape. ~Wow...she's...gorgeous~

Another sound escapes from Nina's lips...it sounded like she was laughing. Thinking that she had caught him staring at her, Jin quickly looks away and begins to say "I was just-" but was interrupted by her saying "no". He turned back to her and saw that she was actually still sleeping. He brushed away a few strands that fell across her face. Suddenly she frowned and started mumbling.

~Is...is that a tear?~ Thought Jin as he watched a single tear slide down Nina's face. Then she started screaming. "No! No! Please! Don't kill him...leave him be. Take me instead. No!!!"

Jin grabbed a hold of Nina and gently shook her telling her to wake up. She screamed 'NOOOOOOOOO!' and suddenly woke up, sweating and frantically looking around. Then she saw Jin and broke out into tears, mumbling something about how they were gonna kill him.

"Sssshhh it's alright, i'm here. Don't worry everything is fine. No one is gonna kill me...it's alright."

He held her for sometime till she finally calmed down. "It's okay now. You were just having a bad dream" said Jin as he got up and smiled at her. "Everything is fine. No go to bed...you need rest. I'll be right over there if you need me," he said softly, pointing to his bed. Nina shook her head and mouthed off the word 'no'.

"No...you can't leave me...please. You have to stay...please." She looked down and whispered "I was so scared...the dream...it felt so real..." She stood up, face still down. "I could almost smell your blood...feel it oozing on to my hands while I held you." Nina looked up, fresh tears on her face. She took a step froward and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head against his chest, hugging him. "Please...I want you to stay with me...I don't want you to go..."
~I love you...~ she thought.

Jin gently pulled away from Nina and pointed to his bed. "But I won't leave...I'll be right here...a few feet away".

Nina looked hurt and turned around, her back facing him. "Oh okay...I guess you're right *sniff* I'll go to bed now...I...I was just...I mean...*sigh*" She walked to her bed and slipped underneath the covers.

Jin could see her shaking...she was crying again...seeing her crying made him feel like crying. He walked over to her bed and slid in next to her, wrapping his strong arms around her waist and pulling her closer.

"You know," he said in a mischiveous tone, hoping to lighten her mood, "I know how to make you forget about your troubles...and that nightmare" he said grinning...Nina could practically hear the grin in his tone.
Her eyes grew wide and she gasped as he started to plant kisses all over the back of her neck, his hands running over the length of her body.

She would never forget that night...it had changed her life...forever
