With one touch, Tedros was drawn back to consciousness. He took a deep breath, panting for his life. He was in great slumber for days now, frightening everyone who cared for him.
He squinted as the morning light shone above him. He was dazed,dizzy, confused and nauseous. The last thing he remembered was talking along side Agatha as they walked out of the police station.
Pain struck him like a lamp losing light as images and memories pushed into his view. The park, the walk, the AA meeting, the kiss, Sophie, cancer...everything. "Agatha..." Tedros breathed out, finally regaining strength. He clawed onto the bed, pushing himself away.
It had been so long since he had touched the ground since he had been lost in a dream for so long.
"Agatha..." He whispered again, pacing around the room. He ripped the wires from his body, letting his guilt destroy him.
She told him to stop. She tried to help him, but she pushed him away. Now look at what it's caused. He owes her a great apology, but how could he even find her?
Tedros yelled with frustration, punching the wall. The thin walls broke through, showing another room. A nurse looked through, her eyes glistening with fear as Tedros panted ferociously.
Picking up a remote, she began pushing in numbers, and sooner or later, doctors and nurses were pushing their way into his room.
"What are you doing?" He questioned, brushing off the dust and cement on his fists. He took a step back, watching them rearrange some tools.
"We're just going to get you tested, Tedros. Calm down..." The doctor smiled, ushering him to sit, but he refused. Everything seemed so confusing to Tedros, even though it was so obvious. "Tested for what? How do you know my name!"
"Its alright to feel like this, Tedros. You've been asleep in a coma for a couple of days. We've got to check if you're okay..." He nodded slowly, taking a seat on the bed. It was so hard to take in, it was so confusing. He felt so sleepy and vulnerable.
He shook as the doctor pushed a needle through his veins. His body wasn't used to this treatment, this chemical. It was an foreign product. "This is just a vaccination. We split in a bit of cancer through your veins...you'll be able to fight it of course, but it may leave you quite dazed for a couple minutes."
Tedros nodded as he tried to regain his sight. "Another symptom is a headaches, don't be shocked." Tedros felt excruciating pain in his forehead,causing his eyesight to double in dizziness. "I can't see anything..." He uttered, petrified.
"Its fine, Tedros. Deep breaths with me... We'll be giving you pills too. We have to stabilize your heart and blood rate since it's beating a bit too fast..." Tedros closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. He was pretty sure he was fazed from the blinding but then again, he knew nothing about medicine.
Agatha sighed, flipping through the channels. It had been almost a week since she had finally detached herself from the hospital, but without Tedros.
"Agatha, you hungry? We ordered Pizza! Your favourite..." Oliver knew this wouldn't work, but it was worth a try. Agatha wouldn't eat; she just too depressed to do anything.
Sophie stretched a smile, rubbing Oliver's back. "Its alright, babe," Oliver let out an exhausted exhale, leaving the two girls. "The pizza is in the fridge if you want any..."
Agatha sighed, ignoring the two. She just needed some alone time. Sometimes she wishes she was the one in a coma. Tedros didn't deserve this...it was all her fault in the first place.
"Alright..." She mumbled, knowing they wouldn't be here to hear her say the words anyway.
Sophie closed the door to Oliver's room, bursting out in tears. She ran into Oliver's arms,and he stroked her softly. "I'm sorry...I just don't know what to do anymore." Oliver nodded, getting every word she said.
"I'm worried for her. I don't think she can take anymore of this...if she continues with this, she WILL end up in the hospital again." Sophie groaned, agreeing.
"Do you think we should sign her up for...therapy?" Oliver looked at Sophie, almost as if she was crazy. But after searching her eyes, he realised it wasn't a bad idea at all. "Maybe, but we can't tell her about it."
Sophie gave a small smile, pulling out her pinky. She linked it with his and their smiles grew bigger. "Our little secret..." She muttered.
"Our little secret..."
She needed this, if not, she could be in great danger of anorexia and depression.
Sophie and Oliver became a real couple now, almost inseparable. The only annoying thing which came with the package was the fact that they beloved was that they were Agatha's second parent.
They cared for her in a sisterly way, but sometimes it was a bit too much. There where times when she'd totallylash out on them or take flight.
"Is that the phone?" Sophie questioned, getting up. She detached herself from Oliver, moving on to face Oliver's phone. "Hello?" She answered, letting Oliver play with her hair.
"Good afternoon, Oliver, right? Well this is Moorside Hospital. We are calling to say that Tedros will no longer need to go to the hospital since he had woken up not long ago,"
Sophie's eyes widened as she breathed out heavily, a smile on her face. "Really? Damn...thank you!" She squealed, causing Oliver to jump. "What is it?" He questioned, giving her an odd look.
"Tedros woke up! He's alive!" Oliver stopped, his face was red and filled with emotions. "Don't joke with me, Sophie..." She shook her head, her smile widening. "This is amazing..." He muttered, his eyes welling with tears.
"He's awake!" He jumped, shaking with excitement. He was overwhelmed and joyful as he jumped around. "This is unbelievable!" He grinned, pulling Sophie in for a kiss.
"I know...wait till Agatha hears about this..." She wheezed, walking towards the door. He shook her head, stopping her. "No, that'll be too boring," He trailed around, wracking his brain for ideas. "We can send her to the room with us and see him for herself! She'll be so happy!"
He took his key, walking out of the room. Sophie followed, filled with excitement.
Tedros looked up at the sound of knocking on his door. He got up, walking towards it. A smile grew on his face, he couldn't wait to see his friends and be engulfed in hugs, stories and memoirs.
His smile faded as he realised this wasn't Agatha at all.
"What are you doing here?" He spoke vigorously. The man shrugged, looking around. "Nothing much, just came to deliver some news." His mood sunk from high to low. He wanted to punch this guy and throw him off the highest building. Colton was nothing to him.
"Like what? Come to tell me you've taken Agatha again? What are you going to do this time? A marriage?" He joked but hoped this wasn't true either.
"Been there, done that. Honestly, Tedros. Get over that girl, she's like a troll under the bridge, forgotten." Tedros lost his cool, swinging his arm at Colton but stepped back as venom leaked out of Colton's lips. He puffed smoke into the air and immediately he started coughing.
"She still has feelings for me, by the way," He mumbled, watching Tedros cough. "Yeah...right. After you ruined her life and made a fool of her?!" Colton nodded, watching Tedros rasp. He smirked, looking around. Shutting the window, he took out another puff of smoke, trapping him and Tedros inside.
"She's only with you for money," Tedros looked up, still coughing. "She's being paid to look after you and make sure you don't drink. One liter of alcohol, and she's done for." Tedros looked up again, trying to ignore him. "Says who?"
"Says Stan, the officer. Yep, she signed a contract. She would have still been living with me if she hadn't agreed to look after you." Tedros froze, fisting. "Why would she do that? There is nothing wrong with me..."
Colton looked at the wall and gave a small smile. "That giant hole says otherwise," He walked over to Tedros, releasing another big puff of smoke. "You're mental, Tedros, and you need help." He watched Tedros cough, his throat getting dry.
"Your kingdom imports £500 a week to her account because they think she's doing a great job. They don't know you're in hospital..." Tedros took a seat, tempted to call for the nurse.
"Now Agatha doesn't deserve that money, we both know that," He uttered, taking a seat next to Tedros. He pulled out a cigar and a beer can. "So just take a sip and blow...we'll see how she ends up afterwards."
Tedros looked at Colton and then back at the objects over and over again. "Well, payback would be nice. She doesn't deserve your money..."
"She doesn't love me..." He uttered, taking the two.
"She's a liar."
"She can't help me, can she?"
"No she can't."
"She just wants my money..."
"She'll take it all."
"Imma drink it and she'll-"
"This is for Agatha, not you. Agatha must pay, that's why you're going to drink it. Then she'll fail and lose all her money!"
Tedros held the cigar towards Colton, waiting for him to light it. "This is for everything, Agatha," He chuckled dryly, inhaling. "This is for leaving,"
A silhouette was created by all the smoke, drawing out to consume him. He didn't hesitate to cough, for some reason he enjoyed it and felt relieved. "This is for coming back..."
He took a sip from his drink, enjoying the taste he missed so much. "This is for dating this guy..." Colton smirked, joining him in the smoke. "This is for throwing me in jail..." He coughed, pain consuming his chest. "This is for almost losing my friend because of you," He took a large chug, causing it to drip down his chin. "This is for stealing my heart again,"
He took a large blow as Colton got up, walking towards the door. "This is for breaking my heart..." His voice cracked as the door slammed shut, leaving him alone in the room with a cigar, a beer can and just his thoughts.
As the three walked through the corridors, they all carried different emotions. Oliver was super excited to meet his best mate and Sophie was too, but Agatha stayed anxious.
"Why are we here again?" Agatha questioned, yawning. She looked around, trying to get herself ready for what she thought she was going to see. "To visit Tedros, Agatha. Maybe we could get some news." Sophie smirked, fiddling around with her fingers.
"We might as well go home, you know..." She mumbled, trying her best not to procrastinate. "Maybe he's just the same as he was four days ago." Oliver found it hard for himself to feel the way he did before. Agatha seemed to be pulling out the worst in him.
"Maybe not..." He uttered back in a harsher voice. Sophie nudged him, causing him to snap back into reality. Sophie shrugged, turning to Agatha. She gave her a sincere look, squeezing her hand. "Yes, maybe. But you have to have hope, he's not dead." Those words sent chills down Agatha's spine and her eyes began to water. She hid this from her friends, continuing to walk along.
Colton smirked, swiping his phone to take his call.
"Hello, Boss." He spoke into his phone, waiting for Alonso to respond.
"Colton, how was the visit? Success?" Colton nodded, speaking into the phone. "Why would you ever doubt me? I'll make sure they pay for what they've done, Boss."
Alonso smirked. After the death of his son, everything was dull. There was no happiness in his life, no laughter, no fun. All that was there was sadness and anger, such strong anger.
There was no funeral for his son, everyone believed he was still alive, and he was in the Bahamas. Alonso wanted to be secretive about the kidnapping of Agatha. If anyone found out about his death, they'd look more into it and try to find out exactly what happened, leading to the kidnapping and the killing and fighting.
Alonso wanted to be secretive, said before, but now that was all going to change. He wanted to bring every single person who slept in Tedros and Oliver's house to suffer.
He sat down on his high chair, sipping his gin. With a sinister smirk on his face, he turned to his left, peering at a picture of his son.
As Oliver opened the door, he was bombarded with smoke. He coughed turning his back from it.
"Tedros?" Agatha peered in but there was nothing there to see. As Oliver regained his strength, he pushed his way back into Tedros' room. Sophie gasped, pulling him back. "Are you insane? You can get killed!" Yanking himself away, he ventured into the room, trying to find Tedros.
When there seemed to be no way, he decided to look for a window. Slowly, He shuffled around the room, feeling every object that came into view. He pushed the window open, gasping for air.
"Call the doctor!" He yelled.
Sophie nodded, turning away from them all. She scurried down the hall, looking for a doctor. "Help!" She took hold of the first qualified person she saw.
As the smoke began to clear, Agatha saw him crouch on the ground, holding his heart. She ran towards him, almost tripping on wire.
"Agatha?" Oliver called out, trying to find her. He used his hands to feel objects again, trying his best to find them but the smoke was too strong. He backed away, slowly shuffling towards the door.
As Agatha pushed her way towards him, she felt an unexpected thrust from Tedros. He jerked her away, causing her to fall on her back. This Oliver saw and immediately he rushed to her side. "Dude! What's wrong with you?!"
Tedros breathed out, his chest doubling in pain as he wheezed. "Get her out of here..." He trembled, his hand shaking as he pulled it up. Agatha shook her head, confused. What was it that she had done to make him act in such away?
"Why?" Oliver questioned, winning the tugging war which was between himself and Agatha. "Get out!" He rasped. She stood rooted to the ground, feeling as if she had just been shot in the heart. She didn't cry, she just sat there, Oliver sprawled around her.
"I've got him!" Sophie gasped, pushing her way through. Tedros looked up, his eyes darkening as he met Sophie's eyes. "That's great isn't it..." He spat, trying his best to stand up, but he failed.
"Really? Tedros..." The doctor grimaced, picking up the empty beer can. "You could have set the whole place on fire!" He tossed it in the bin, crushing the cigar in his palm. "How did you come in contact with these things?"
"He was right there..." Tedros rasped. "That's not important, get her out of here!" Agatha was immediately yanked off the ground. "Its not good for his health if you stay here ma'am, sorry." She froze before walking out herself.
Oliver saw this and did the same. He didn't even bother to say goodbye to Tedros. For days, Agatha had been mourning and moping around because she missed him, and this was how he repaid her.
"What was that?" Sophie questioned, walking towards Tedros after everyone had cleared. He shrugged, looking away from her. "What do you want?" He spat, wiping his mouth.
"I want to know why you were such a douche to Agatha. Do you know how miserable she's been for the past few days?"
"No, I don't care either."
She gave him an odd look before turning away to face the bin. "And the goods? Where'd you get that from?" She questioned, frowning at them.
"I got them from Colton..."
Sophie grimaced, scratching her head. "How did he find you? Oliver told me about that guy...Why would you even associate yourself with him?"
Tedros shrugged, helpless. "I don't know, I just seemed desperate at the time. I haven't eaten properly in days..." Sophie rolled her eyes, knowing Tedros for his horrendous appetite.
"Smoking and drinking isn't eating..." She mumbled.
"It fills me up..."
There was silence between the two until she decided to break it. "What did Agatha do to you that was so bad that you had to embarrass her in front of everyone?"
Tedros pierced his lips shut, refusing to say another word. "Grow up, Tedros. People have feelings,and you messed with it."
"The same way Oliver messed us Angus' brain?" Tedros turned around, grimacing when his eyes fell on Colton. He smirked, closing the door behind himself as he began walking forward.
Sophie backed away, walking towards the door. She had only heard of him, not really having a great encounter with him. Colton looked towards her, his eyes lightening. "You're Oliver's girlfriend, right?" She nodded, causing both Tedros and Colton to be be amused.
"I'm guessing you live with him?" Sophie nodded slowly and he smirked. Walking towards a closet, He pulled out a full tank of laughing gas. "What are you doing?" Tedros questioned dryly, still on the floor. He was pretty sure he was going to spread the gas around the room.
"You'll see..." He chuckled, removing the cap. Sophie lunged for the door, trying her best to open it. Colton chuckled, pulling on a gas mask. "I locked the doors once I got in here..."
It took three minutes to knock them out cold, giving Colton and opportunity to sneak them out. Lucky for him, Tedros was on the last floor so dropping them through the window was no problem.
And no, the story isn't over yet. Another chapter will be coming very shortly and I mean it this time. I'm sorry I wasn't here for a while, I was extremely busy with exams (which went well).
I know you'll be really frilled to see part 3 to the story, it's truly amazing. Be expected thriller and action and it might just be better than Ultraviolence as well. I had so much fun working on this story. Special thanks to Lizlen for being my beta. I said something about shout outs for everyone since this is the last chapter, which it's not. So next chapter be expecting shout outs!
P.s overlook the fact that this is third person and not first.
