Chapter 6

After about half an hour, Myka's tears had finally dried and they were just holding each other. When Pete thought Myka was okay, he slowly drew back. "Are you going to be okay?" He asked however, just to make sure and Myka had to smile at his concern. "Yeah," she quickly wiped her hands over her cheeks to make sure every tear had disappeared, "Yeah, I'm okay now."

Myka turned her head just enough to look at the clock hanging on the wall of the library. 3 a.m. "Still enough time to get some sleep before it's morning again." She stood up from the couch, extending her hand towards Pete to help him up.

"Yeah." He took her hand and followed her until she reached the stairs. "I uh… might just grab something to eat first, before Leena wakes up." With that he turned around and Myka shook her head at his attempt at sneaking into the kitchen without making any noise.

While walking up the stairs she once again was grateful for the fact that she was wearing socks this time, not in the mood to face the cold floor once again.

She opened the door to her room and did her best to close it again without making too much noise. Turning around, she froze immediately. Someone was in her room, sitting on her bed. Noticing the person wasn't moving she quickly took some steps to the right until the light switch was within reach.

Her heart skipped a beat when she recognised the person, although she wasn't sure whether she should be happy or concerned by the woman's presence.

"Is everything okay?" Myka hesitantly took some steps towards the bed when the woman didn't reply. She was just staring at her hands. It was only when Myka got a little closer that she noticed Emily was holding something. "Emily?" She asked again, concern now taking the upper hand.

"No." She finally looked up, right into Myka's eyes, causing her to freeze right at the spot. "Wha.." Myka was unsure of what she was about to say, so she quickly closed her mouth again before something silly would come out.

"No," the somewhat smaller woman repeated while getting up from the bed to stand right in front of Myka. "Not Emily." She finally opened her hand for Myka to see what she was holding.

Myka's breath got stuck in her throat when she recognised Christina's photo, still framed in the metal locket that was always in her pocket during the day.

After a few seconds of heavy breathing, Myka finally managed push her voice over her lips. "Helena..?"

The answer came in form of a hug, Helena resting her head against Myka's shoulder. Once Myka had regained control of her body, she put her arms firmly around Helena, pulling her closer. "I missed you so much." She was desperately trying not to let the tears from earlier come back, but knew she failed when she could feel the tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

Helena brought her hand up to Myka's cheek, whipping the tears away. "For not letting me down, for saving me, everything."

"I hardly saved you." She looked at Helena, quickly pulling her close again before letting more tears stream down her cheeks.

After recovering a second time, Myka pulled back again. "Do you remember everything?"

"Not everything, there are still gaps. But I remember me. I remember you." Helena softly pulled back a strand of Myka's hair that was glued to her cheeks.

Helena cast her eyes down to the ground. "I know it's not very polite, but would you mind if I got some sleep? I suddenly feel so tired.."

"Oh.. Not at all." Myka quickly took a step back, as if she was afraid of keeping Helena from getting that sleep.

Helena caught her hand and squeezed it softly. "Goodnight, darling." Myka's heart could be beating out of her chest any moment now. "Goodnight."

She watched the raven haired woman leave the room. Only when she had closed the door, she let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding.

After taking a few minutes to steady her breathing again, she got over to the bed, sitting down.

Was this real? Was Helena really back? Whether it was or not, she had never felt so happy before in her life. She just felt like laughing, the butterflies only strengthening that feeling.

She was relieved she didn't however, when she heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in." She tried her best to straighten her face, but the smile playing along her lips wasn't leaving anytime soon.

It only grew wider when the reason of that very smile entered again, now wearing a pair of pyjama's Myka had offered to Emily.

"I'm sorry but… Would you mind if I joined you? I'm… Well it's quite embarrassing really, I'm pretty scared to be on my own for now."

If Myka didn't know better, she might have thought HG had actually just blushed.

"Sure, enough space here." And once again, she had to do her best to not let her smile transform into a smirk covering her whole face.

AN I figured I should probably also give some credit to the song 'Remember' of Emilie Autumn, because it gave me the idea for this story in the first place. (I totally did not steal the title *cough*)
