A/N: I know that chapter 22 was disturbingly graphic but I have to put in a
little message saying something to you all. Depression is a VERY bad
thing. The reason that chapter was disturbingly graphic was because I had
once tried and well, luckily, it failed. For those of us who are
interested, this fic is not completely made up. My characters are based on
real people who did help. Just to alert you, not all people get the second
chance and DO NOT TRY! Thank you for your attention and always remember,
there is always someone who loves you! Don't ever forget that. Okay,
enough making you all cry here is the next chapter! Enjoy and do not
forget my words.
Thank you to all those people who caught my error. This is why I should never have 2 fics going at once. Thanks to all of you!
Chapter 25 "A welcome to remember"
Leo looked at me with great tenderness. I pretended I didn't know why. He hugged me soft, almost as if he was afraid I would break.
"Lin, you had all of us so worried," he said still hugging me.
"I know. I was stupid and I've realized my mistake," I said.
He let go of me just as the others came in. May looked so happy she could pounce on me again. I stayed on my back. May ran over and hugged me.
"Lin, don't ever do that again! We need ya," cried May.
"I won't. I promise May," I said.
"Okay May, my turn so get off her," said Nicole.
May pouted. I laughed and Nicole ran over to me and hugged me. Once she was done, she looked at me.
"You had better appreciate me, I gave up more blood then was healthy for you to live here," said Nicole.
"I do, more than you know," I said.
Lacy was next. She was just happy to see me alive. She hugged me tightly.
"Welcome back. We were afraid we lost you," Lacy said.
It wasn't long before everyone hugged me, telling me never to do a stunt like that again. I looked at them all and smiled. I knew that was the last I would ever do that. I was still a bit dizzy to stand but I was given privileges to go rest in my part of the room. I was left a lone while everyone practiced. I stayed in bed and read another book Leo had lent me saying it was better than the last one that I had read.
The girls were in and out, letting me rest. They would sometimes stay with me for a while to keep my company. Even the guys would pop in every so often. I knew I had to rest but I didn't like being bed ridden.
It was the middle of the day. I was still reading since that was all I really could do when a knock came on the closed door. It never fails, I get to a good part and I'm disturbed, I thought. I knew it was one of the guys since they always knock while the girls just come in.
"Come in," I called.
In came a shy Leo. He had a smile on his face. He walked over to me.
"How are you feeling," he asked.
"Not bad considering I just tried to kill myself the night before," I said.
He chuckled a bit. He had one of those looks on his face that seemed to say "I'm up to something and I think you'll like it." He kept his two hands behind his back. I started to wonder what he was up to.
"Alright, What are you up to? You've got it written all over your face," I said.
"Nothing gets past you. I like that," he said.
I laughed.
"Actually, I brought these for you so you can feel better," he said presenting me with a bouquet flowers and a red rose in the middle.
My eyes widened. I never guessed that he would have brought me flowers. I took the vase they were in and put it on the nightstand that the girls had moved over for me to put things on. There were different kinds from what I noticed.
"They're beautiful," I said.
"Each flower in the bouquet has a different meaning," he said.
"Really?" I said not really knowing.
I knew what different roses meant but I didn't know much about the other flowers. I looked at him waiting to hear what kinds of flowers there were and the meanings.
"Yea, you see, there is an almond blossom which means hope and watchfulness. This one is sweet alyssum, it means worth beyond beauty. This is purple heather and this means beauty. I put in a cedar leaf and that means 'I live for you.' Acacia is over here and that's concealed love," he started.
I realized that he was starting out with the most general and going to the more serious love flowers. I continued to listen to him seem more and more excited. He pointed out every flower that he knew. Soon, he was done telling me the names and meanings of flowers.
"Leo, I'm speechless," I said.
He smiled. I could see that he had another idea running through his head. I just couldn't figure out what it was.
"Don't worry," said Leo.
We started to inch closer together. Our heads were just getting ready to tilt until we were interrupted.
"Hey Leo, come on! Time for lunch," said Mikey as he poked his head in.
"Alright, I'll be there in a minute," he said.
Mikey ran out of the room and ran to the kitchen.
"You had better go," I said.
Leo looked at me with a disappointed look. I smiled. I couldn't help it. I leaned over and kissed his cheek.
"Go on, I'll still be here when you get back," I said.
He smiled and ran off to the kitchen. I chuckled a bit. As serious and loyal as he was, he was willing to break it for love. I shook my head and picked my book back up and began to read. As I read, I realize the book title Leo had lent me, Ninja Passions.
Yet another A/N: Ninja Passions is a real book somewhere but I can't remember who the author was. Thank you for all of your reviews!
