Laurie stared at the hospital standing in front of her. This is it. She had been shocked after Adrian finished his story. When she asked what hospital Liana was in, she was shocked once again to know it was the hospital right down the road.
Flashback
"Until Christmas! That's only five days from today!"
Adrian dejectedly nodded his head. "I've given up hope. I've decided to join my angel the day she truly dies…"
End Flashback
'Idiot! Do you really think that Liana would be happy if you killed yourself! God I've only heard of her personality, but I know that she wouldn't like that.
By this time Laurie was inside of the building and making her way to the reception desk. A woman with bleached blond, shoulder length hair sat behind the desk.
"Excuse me. What floor is Liana Danvers on?" Laurie asked politely. The woman turned toward her computer and started to search for the patient's name that Laurie had given her.
"Fifth floor, room 504."
"Thank you."
Laurie walked away and into a nearby elevator. When she reached the fifth floor she was shocked. Whenever she had been in a hospital it was always bright and people could be seen bustling around the place helping patients. This floor, however, was slightly dim with a few nurses wandering around peeking their heads into a few rooms.
Snapping out of her shock, when she saw the doors about to close, Laurie walked up to a nurse and asked where room 504 was. The nurse pointed to a door not that far away. She thanked the nurse and made her way to the room.
When she reached the door she took in a deep breath and grasped the cool metal handle of the door and pulled it open.
The interior of the room was flooded with sunlight from an open window. Flowers decorated the room and a bouquet of roses was sitting on a table by the bedside. Something did not fit in with this room though. A young man with black hair was sitting on a chair with his back facing the door next to the bed.
Laurie was about to back out of the room when she heard the young man speak. "My lovely Liana. You and I were meant to be together, not Adrian, me! You only thought of me as a friend, but I loved you. Now you only have five more days to live! I swear I'll get revenge for you though…I swear it! Or my name isn't Kuo Markinson."
The young man, who Laurie now knew to be Kuo, leaned over the bad and placed a chaste kiss onto Liana's forehead. She was able to get a glimpse of a mass of black locks on the bed's pillow before Kuo turned toward the doorway and froze.
"Who are you?"
Laurie stared at him in silence before carefully analyzing him.
This person named Kuo had black hair that was cut short and gray eyes that snapped in anger. He looked to be about five feet eleven, but she wasn't quite sure. He wore all black and she could see the outline of something in the right hand pocket of his jeans.
"Well?" he snapped at her impatiently.
Laurie snapped out of her analysis of him at his sharp and biting tone. "I'm sorry. I got the wrong room. I didn't know I would be disturbing anything…I'll just be leaving then," she said hastily, before leaving the room and firmly closing the door behind her. As she left the room she made a promise to herself to come back tomorrow. Hopefully that Kuo person wouldn't be there.
Kuo stared at the closed door warily. That was odd. Especially since not that many people come to this floor. He shrugged off that thought and turned back to the bed.
On the bed lay the sleeping figure of a beautiful girl. White blankets were pulled up to her neck and only her face was visible. Her face was peaceful, like she was only sleeping instead of being brutally close to death. It was littered with small scars that came from the car accident, but it still held a graceful beauty. Masses of her black locks framed her pale face giving her an innocent air as well.
He touched her cheek and lightly stroked it. "My beautiful Liana. I will take vengeance for you…I promise."
He slowly took out a small handgun from his right hand pocket and stared at it before placing it somewhere where nobody would notice it. "I promise."
After checking that the gun was safe and hidden he walked out of the room. What Kuo didn't notice was the solitary tear that fell from Liana's comatose body. The only thing that bore witness to the tear's fall was the ray of sunlight filtering through the window.
Adrian sat looking at his fallen angel in sadness. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry…but please! Please wake up! Wake up Liana please!" he pleaded, before grabbing fistfuls of her blankets and crying softly into her still form.
Nothing wakes you up. I can't lose you though. Please. Please! Just wake up…wake up…
"Wake up," he whispered brokenly into her hair. Memories of their time together flashed through his head.
Flash
"Look Adrian! Isn't this beautiful."
Flash"Adrian, let's go to the Carnival!"
Flash"Stop! Adrian your hair tickles…"
Flash"Adrian…I…I love you."
FlashI loved both…and I will always love both. They make up who you are…don't forget that.
Adrian cried harder as her voice floated through his mind. Remembering her confession, places they had been to, and the things she loved to do all swirled together in his head in a distorted merry-go-round.
"I'm sorry! So wake up so you can yell at me! Wake up! Wake up! Please…" with that last plea he fell asleep with his hand entwined in hers.
Though he was asleep tears still fell freely from his eyes. A few clouds moved from the front of the moon letting its rays fall into the room. One ray of light fell across Liana's face. Tears were freely coursing down the girl's cheeks and one fell onto Adrian and her hand.
A cool breeze flew into the room from the open window that Adrian had climbed through. If you listened closely to the wind a small voice could be heard.
I forgive you…Always have…love you…I love you…Darkness…everything was dark…Swirls of gray mist clouded a girl's vision.
'So sleepy. Where am I?'
Two voices pierced the fog around her brain, and she could hear the voices.
"I will take vengeance for you…I promise."
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Please…just wake up! Wake up!"
"Vengeance…""Sorry…"
The girl couldn't get the words out of her head. "Stop…please…Stop!" she shouted.
"Stop!"
Laurie shot out of bed in fright. The dream was back again and it was stronger than ever.
What's wrong with me?
She sighed in annoyance. This dream…it kept on haunting her, and she knew from experience that she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep again.
So she just looked out of her window waiting for the day to come…just waiting…and waiting…
I'm done with the story so the other chapters should be posted within a day after each other. Sorry for the looong wait.
