I Can't Go Back Day 20
Damian was walking down the hall to Reading class when his phone rang.
"Hello, it's Damian Obadia." Damian said as he answered the call.
"Damian, you need to get over here! We have a major surgery that we need more help with, and no one else is experienced enough to help us." Dr. Helen Cho exclaimed with a tone of urgency.
"Oh the joys of being on call. I will be right there." Damian replied, walking to the office. "Principal Morita, I need to go. Dr. Cho needs help, and I'm the only one on call who is experienced enough to do it. " Damian explained quickly. He waited until he saw Principal Morita nod, and then he ran out the door. He quickly texted Christina the details of the situation, and asked her to bring Amethyst home with her. Amethyst had no idea what was going on. She was just doing her work like normal. Everything was fine until the end of the day. Christina went and got her. Amethyst was confused, Damian was the only person who picked her up.
Did he not want her anymore? Was he going to send her back to the dark place? Amethyst wondered. She couldn't go back; if she went back she would get hurt again. She didn't want to go to the mean lady again. Christina could tell something was up with Amethyst the second they got in the car. She jumped at every turn they took. She looked terrified.
"Amethyst, what's wrong?" Christina asked.
"Are you taking me back? I can't go back. Please, don't take me back." Amethyst pleaded, her emerald eyes filling up with tears.
"Amethyst, no one is ever going to send you back there. What gave you that idea?" Christina asked, her concern growing by the second.
"Damian didn't come get me. I don't think he wants me anymore." Amethyst cried.
"Oh, sweetheart, Damian got called to an emergency at Stark Industries and he had to go. He didn't mean to scare you, but he had to go save another person's life. Damian loves you very much, and so do I. We aren't going to leave you." Christina said, parking her car in the garage. "Come on sweetie, let's go see if he finished his work."
"Okay. Are you sure he still wants me?" Amethyst asked, still not quite believing her.
"Yes, I'm very sure." Christina replied. Amethyst grabbed her hand, and walked with her down to the hospital portion of Stark Industries. When they got there they found Damian walking out of the door to the O.R.. From the look he had on, he had just finished the surgery. He hadn't even changed out of his scrubs yet.
"Amethyst, let Damian get washed up, and then we can talk about this, okay?" Christina said, Amethyst nodded, and they sat down to wait. When Damian walked back over to them, he saw that Amethyst was scared and upset.
"Amí, what's wrong?" He asked.
"I thought you didn't want me anymore, and you were gonna send me back. I got scared because I can't go back there." Amethyst said, trying not to cry again.
"Amí I am never ever going to send you back there. I love you and I should have told you I was leaving. Can you forgive me for not telling you?" Damian asked.
"Yes, I forgive you," Amethyst replied, going over and hugging him. With the day's crisis over they all went upstairs, and played Monopoly with their family.
