Chapter fourteen: Recovery
Scene thirty: Checking out.
After a long and painful sleep, my eyes opened to only see a doctor checking up on Anna, to see how she was doing.
I was still so tired. I thought I could sleep knowing that Anna was okay. But something deep inside me kept telling me that she would do it again.
Rubbing my eyes from the tiredness that sunk deep inside of them, I yawned as I stretched. My arms making light cracks as my joints were just so painful.
I turned around to see a sleepy Anna. Deep circles of purple surrounded her eyes. She must have been exhausted.
After the doctor had checked her over, he finished the last checks on his clipboard, as his eyes moved to look at mine.
Doctor: Everything's fine. She can go home at any time. Just make sure she takes these pills twice a day.
He leaned over the bottom of the bed to hand me the little tub of pills.
I nodded at him, as he gently and warmly smiled at me, leaving the tiny cramped room.
I was staring at her now. Wondering if to wake her or not. She looked pained as she slept. Thoughts of different nightmares she could be having filled my mind.
Shaking her slightly, I decided to wake her up. It would be best if she got more sleep at home.
Elsa: Anna...Anna?...wake up, you can go home now...
Her eyes began to flutter open. As they were now glaring into my own.
Anna: E-Elsa? W-wha...where...
I began to rub her hand in mine, comforting her, as I interrupted her...
Elsa: it's okay Anna. I can stay with you for as long as you need.
She smiled slightly at me, her head nodding a little.
She started to climb out of the hospital bed. Clutching her at both arms, I helped her out. As she was still a little shaky.
Her legs began to tremble as she stood up. She was unable to stand up by herself.
I gently walked her out of the room, and into one of the wheelchairs in the main hallway.
Sitting her down, she looked weak. The purple around her eyes sunk in even deeper. She looked like she wasn't even alive.
Elsa: Anna? Are you okay?
She looked at me. Painful eyes staring straight into mine.
Anna: I'm fine.
I was starting to worry inside of my head. Maybe she would give up again and try to take her own life again. My face screwed up from the sight of Anna. Her body laying almost dead on the floor.
Shaking my head to remove the horrible images, I tried to snap out of it. As I begun to wheel Anna out of the hospital.
Scene thirty one: Heartwhelming suprise.
I gently pulled her out of the wheelchair and placed her into the back of the cab. I made my own way in as I sat next to her. My arms wrapped around her securely. She still had those hospital clothes on.
The cab driver pulled out of the hospital as I told him where to go. Anna's hands were both enlocked with each other. She started to chew on her lip, like she was deeply thinking about something.
I sighed. Knowing that she would never tell me. Keeping things to herself and not telling me was one of the worst things that she could do.
*fourty minutes later*
The cab was pulled outside of Anna's house now. It looked even darker than before.
I slept the whole night last night after what happened. And the whole day today. As it was pitch black outside now. All you could see was a dim lit up street light, that was hardly helpful.
Giving the driver the money, I helped Anna step out of the cab and walked her up to her front door, as the car drove slowly away.
Moving her mat aside, I picked up her spare set of keys from underneath. Unlocking the door as we stepped into her house.
Once inside, I locked the door. Making our way into the living room, and placing Anna down gently on the sofa.
Sitting down beside her, I sat her down on my lap. My hands holding in place in hers.
I looked down at her. Her eyes were glued to something in the distance.
Elsa: Anna. Listen. Were gonna get you through this. No matter what it takes. I'm not going to leave your side. Not ever. I'll always be here for you. Always.
She couldn't stop staring at whatever she was staring at. I was starting to wonder if she had even heard what I had just said.
Elsa: Anna? Are you listening?
She started to shake her head like she was coming back to reality.
Anna: Sorry, Elsa. What was that?
I stared at her now as she stared back. My eyes narrowed in frustration.
Elsa: Anna. You really do need to listen more. I said that I will always be here for you. No matter what. And that I will never leave your side.
Her hands let go of mine, as her arms suddenly wrapped tight around my neck.
Anna: I know you will, Elsa. I know.
I had a crazy idea then. Since I had met her I had always wanted to do it. I didn't really care if it was too soon. But I wanted to do it now. More than ever. The urge to do it was over powering me.
With my heart racing faster than ever, and my breathing getting extremely heavy, I took in a deep breath. As I placed Anna back down on the sofa.
Slowly and steadily, I made my way to the ground. Steadying myself on one knee, as I took one of her hands in both of mine. Her other hand covered her mouth. Her eyes widened. A loud gasp escaping from her breast. I wanted her to know that I was hers. And I would do anything for her. This was the best way to show it.
Elsa: Anna Summer-bee. Will you be mine forever, and do me the favour of taking my life and soul? Will you marry me?
Tears were streaming down her face as a huge grin covered mine.
Anna: YES ELSA I WILL!
Even though she was weak at the moment, she still had enough energy to pounce on me and tackle me to the ground, as she covered me in her heaven like kissess...
