Previously on –A is back!
It was 02.45 AM when I woke up in fear. I was heavy breathing. It didn't do any good. I didn't get much oxygen. I quickly turned on the lights and looked next to me. I saw Serena next to me. She was awake. I managed the bloody welts on her back. I was in shock. I looked at my hands. It was my fault. I let a tear roll over my cheek.
She didn't seem to care at all. The only thing she did was worrying about me. Vince? Are you okay? She asked when she tried to look into my eyes. I didn't say a thing. All I did was quickly put my arms around her and hug her tight. "I will always fight for you. I can't lose you two." I said while my breathing was still hysterically fast. I heard someone on the stairs. I let Serena go and walked to the other couch. I looked at the stairs. It were Ali and Emily. They saw the bleeding welts on Serena's back and they looked at me. Alison saw fear in my eyes. fear she had never seen in my eyes before. They came sit with us. Alison was sitting next to me and wanted to put her arm around me. But I pushed it slowly away. She saw my hands were shaking.
What is going on? She asked when they both looked again at Serena's back. There were a couple of blood stains rolling down of her back. "I think Vince had some nightmare. I was sleeping in his arms, when he started talking to me. He scratched me in his sleep. I think it was about the incident. Emily walked to the kitchen. She came back with a glass of water and some little mixture. She gave me the glass of water and walked back at Serena. She putted three fingers in the mixture and carefully took care of the scratches. "This will help." She said.
Serena walked over and sat down on the other side of me. "Baby" she rubbed her hand over my back. I- I can't believe that I caused that I'm so sorry Serena. I don't know what got into me. Serena smiled. "Babe, I'm fine, but what happened?" she asked, trying to make eye contact. I let her look in to my eyes, but they started to fill themselves with tears. She laid het head in my neck and gently kissed my jaw. I-it were all memories. About how my mom died, the shooting incident where I've lost my real dad. And I lost you. The first minute I promised I would always be with you and always will protect you. The second after I said it, I got killed by A, then he was going after you, all of you. And there was nothing I could do to save you. I said while I looked at the floor.
I looked at her. You are the only family I have left. I said quiet. she didn't understand what I mean. Colonel Kings is gone, he has to go fighting in a war in the middle east. He came to say goodbye when you were asleep. He knows how much you hate to say goodbye. She smiled a little but I could see the sadness in her eyes. I looked at Alison and Emily. You are all like family. The only family I have got left. I felt an arm around me. it was Alison's. "We are going nowhere. I promise." Yeah! But you are. Serena said. you are going to sleep! You need to get some rest. Otherwise you won't be able to put Nate where he stands. I laughed. It's going to be okay! And otherwise I will be his slave. It's just a week darling. But okay. I will go to sleep. I kissed her passionately. Goodnight my angel. I said while I laid down my head on her legs.
The next morning I woke up thanks to a recruit of colonel Kings. I woke up by the smell of his food. I looked at my watch. 8.30 AM. Everyone is still asleep, I thought. I grabbed my wheelchair and lifted myself in it. I quietly rolled myself to the kitchen. It was a mess in there. "What is this?" I asked when I grabbed one of the too simple breakfast plates. "It's breakfast?" The boy said. I managed the anger in my voice and changed it quickly. I smiled at him. You know what.. you can bring this to Nate and the boys next door. I will take care of the girls. "But the colonel said" I know what the colonel said. but I'm fine. I can cook a diner for the girls. Just go. The boys will really appreciate you of you cook for them. He just nodded and walked away with the plates. Thank you! I said.
The moment when the boy walked out of the kitchen, Serena came in with a sleepy head. I gave her my cappuccino and kissed her good morning. Why are you awake already? I asked when I gently pulled my lips away. She laughed. I heard you arguing with that poor guy you just kicked out, I just wanted to see If everything was okay. Shall I help you? She said when she gave me an little basket for the fruit in the backyard. I slowly step out of my wheelchair, but I slipped and bumped into her. It made me think about when I first met her.
It was three and a half years ago. It was winter in New York. Serena was stalked by her ex-boyfriend. I was on my way to a Radcliffe and just getting a coffee, when she bumped in to me and fell. I helped her up but she got out of balance and fell in my arms. On that exact moment, her ex came around the corner. "what are you doing with that suit wearing jerk?" he asked mockingly. That 'suit wearing jerk' you call this gentleman, is my date for tonight." She said while she was looking really confident at me. I nodded smiling while I grabbed her hand. Her ex walked away, he was furious. I wanted to go to before I was late. I turned around and wanted to walk down the stairs but miss Van Der Woodsen stopped me. "So you are picking me up at 7?" she asked laughing. I smiled. I thought I was just some really bad excuse for that weird ex-boyfriend of yours. I looked at what she was wearing. But I have to disappoint you. I can't take you two some really chique luxe restaurant. But I can cook for you. I think I deserve some kind of explanation for what just happened. That night made an three-course menu. From then we were seeing each other almost every week.
I kissed her passionately. Do you recognize this? I said when my lips moved to her knuckles. I let her go and walked with a goofy smile out of the door and grabbed some fruit for the salads while Serena was taking care of the French toast. When I got back, I felt a little guilty. Serena saw that something was going on and asked for it. it's nothing darling. I just hate the feeling I can't make a simple breakfast like this on my own. She smiled and hugged me. I bit on my teeth too camouflage the pain a little. "You know I don't mind to help you! I love to learn from my own personal chef." I laughed and grabbed her hips. Who said I am willing to teach you my cooking secrets. She looked me confident in the eyes. "I know your weakness my darling." She said a little mean. I started to laugh. You are my only weakness. I said while I kissed her passionately. After a minute I stopped. I smelled something burned. I started laughing. Hun, why do I smell something burned? Her eyes were wide. I started to laugh, grabbed her hand and pulled her in my arms. It was the candle I just lighted. I took the pan of the heat several minutes ago. She hit me. you are such an asshole! She said laughing.
I grabbed the plates. Common darling, let's bring the girls their breakfast. I said laughing. But when I was upstairs, I was exhausted. When I stand for the bedroom door, I could hear the girls talk. Alison and Emily were talking about what happened last night. I knocked on the door and walked carefully inside. "Good morning ladies, room service?" I said smiling while I sit down next to Alison.
So I think you all have heard about what happened last night. I said while I looked at Alison. She looked really innocent at me and started blushing. Than you have also heard that from today on, I have no real family anymore around me. I said while I took the covers from the plates, and next to the dishes we have made, the girls saw a little turquoise tiffany box. "That's what this little present is all about, because, I may have lost my real family around me. there is another one right next to me. so please open it and tell me what you think. Serena was sitting against me without a little box. I putted my arm around me and lifted her on my legs. The girls opened their presents. It was a ring with some engraving in it. "for ever my family." It fitted perfectly with everyone.
I smiled. I took an longer box of tiffany & Co. out of my pocket. I gave it to Serena. She opened it and saw the silver necklace, with a little heart on it. I put the necklace on her and looked deep in her eye. You will get the ring later, when I'm out of that damn thing and can go on one knee for you. She smiled and we kissed. She pushed me backwards so I was lying on the bed. "you, go get some sleep for this afternoon, you will need it." She said while she took a bite of her breakfast. Yes sir, I said like I was in the army again in a teasing kind of way. The girls started to smile. Bon appetite ladies! I said before I closed my eyes.
