Release pt.2 (continued)
Taliea looked down at the sleeping Aelita, thoughtfully
stroking her sister's cheek. "Well, looks like you've had quite
an accident" Taliea said softly, "But don't worry, Taliea's
here to make it all better".
She kissed the tip of her two
fingers and held them up over Aelita's head.
Closing her eyes she
concentrated, and a small spark of light formed just in front of her
fingers.
Slowly, very slowly, she lowered the spark towards
Aelita's forehead.
"Aelita, are you awake?" Jeremie's
voice startled her.
Glancing to her left she saw Jeremie's
silhouette on the door, and watch as the door handle turned, and the
door open.
"Aelita?" Jeremie stuck his head in and look
around.
"Funny, could have sworn I heard her" he
thought, walking in to her bed.
Standing by her side he looked
down at her, her chest rising up and down slowly, her lips slightly
parted, hands clasped together on her stomach.
"Aelita, I
don't know if you can hear me, but I just wanted to say...
I
love you. I love you, and I'll always be there for you" he said,
taking one hand into his, stroking a loose hair from her
face.
Leaning down he gave her a quick kiss on the lips before
leaving.
Aelita stirred slightly in her sleep and sighed, a small
smile on her lips.
"Hey guys!" Aelita smiled, as the
gang came in one by one with flowers and balloons into the room.
"Hey
Aelita, how're you feeling?" Yumi asked, sitting down on her
bed.
"Yeah, that was quite a shock, seeing you out cold like
that" Ulrich said, putting the flowers down on the small desk
next to the bed.
"Not quite like the shock she had" Odd
joked.
Aelita laughed. "I'm fine thanks. The doctor says
they'd like me to stay for one more night of observation, and then
tomorrow I'm free to go"
"Glad to hear it" Ulrich
said.
"Jeremie?" Aelita glanced past Ulrich at the
strangely quiet figure of Jeremie standing next to the door,
shoulders and head slumped slightly.
"Sorry Aelita"
"Sorry?
About what?" Aelita asked, a confused look on her and her
friends faces.
"I tried... I tried to save you. I tried to
get to you, but there were so many people pushing..." a small
tear ran down his cheek.
"I tried.. and failed. I couldn't
save you, least of protect you from danger"
His shoulders
started to shake, and more tears fell to the floor.
The room was
filled with silence as Aelita looked Jeremie, looking so forlorn. She
pulled up the blanket and climbed out, walking towards him.
Reaching
out she put a hand under his chin and lifted his tear stained face
up, looking into his watery eyes.
"Jeremie, I don't care. And
do you know why?"
Jeremie shook his head.
"Because I
love you, and I always will" she said, smiling, before hugging
him close to her, and kissing full on the mouth while the others look
away discreetly.
After a few minutes they broke apart, both
blushing slightly.
"Well, uh, if you put it like that-"
Jeremie started saying before Odd said "Jer, you've got a moment
going. Don't spoil it"
"Odd the romantic. You would have
guessed?" Yumi teased.
Odd grinned at her, doing a thumbs
up.
"Actually guys, there's one more thing I need to do and
I'll need your help for it" Aelita said, nervously clasping her
hands together.
"Sure Aelita, we'll help" Odd
said.
"Thanks" Aelita said, taking a deep
breath.
"Because tomorrow we're going to go and visit Taliea"
