Be My Soldier Forever

Ep. 71

“You will no longer be alone. I don't care where you are, in the dressing room, in the bathroom or anywhere else, you won't be alone anymore, you get my point right?”

We are now in the hospital, I am sitting on an examination bed with X-Ray paper under me, a broken wrist X-Ray, hanging on the wall next to me, my arm is now in surgery.

After Stefan left the flower shop, I curled up, held my wrist in tears, the pain running through, my veins from my wrist almost breaking and the pain in my heart, everything was so pronounced. A woman found me as she walked around me, she heard the commotion that was happening in the store, she heard my screams and cries, she did not go straight into the store, she said, but he called the police and after Stefan disappeared, the police arrived. I was taken to the hospital, I didn't speak or make any sound out of my mouth. The policeman found Alan's number in my wallet and called him immediately, Alan was angry and shouted, well he's very angry because all this happened to me and now I can no longer be alone without the supervision of someone. I feel like a kid, always got to be watched and cared for, and I hate that.

“Did you hear me Alice?! It seriously! He hurt you and you lied to the police, Oh my God!” alan screamed, I don't want to lie to them, but I think old habits are hard not to lie, whenever this happens, I would lie to everyone I loved by saying I fell or hurt myself, I told the police that I was carrying a big vase and when I put it on the vase shelf it fell because it was so heavy, they believed it.

“Yes, I heard you.” I said as I looked at my hand in the sewing, I twirled my fingers, not wanting to make eye contact with anyone, they all looked angry and annoyed with me and Stefan. Adrian sat in front of me with his arms crossed over his chest and a blank expression was plastered on his face.

“Alice, this is very serious, he attacked you! Physically and mentally! And you act like it's not a big deal?” alan snapped at me, I didn't answer him, I just closed my eyes, I heard him angrily, he took his car keys off the desk and walked out of the hospital action room.

Adrian drove us home afterwards, in the car completely silent, I could hear Adrian breathing heavily as he gripped the steering wheel. As soon as we stopped in the driveway, headed home, Alan's car wasn't there, we both said nothing, just fell silent, Adrian went straight to his room and I went to my room as well, it's just that I didn't go to sleep.

My eyes feel tired but do not want to close, my heart is tired but can not stop hurting. I want to give up and let go of everything. I heard my door squeak open and my head jerked, a dark figure loomed at the door, my heart started to beat fast and my heartbeat quickened. I screamed and threw pillows at him, my arms swinging in all directions and my voice screamed nonstop. I felt a hand holding my hand and pinning it to my side, I heard a voice trying to calm me down.

“Alice, Alice, shht. It's me, Adrian.” My eyes opened and I saw the protective handsome man above me, I fell silent and looked into his eyes and he also looked at me, he could see his helplessness myself with a look of fear. My emotions were too crazy and strong to hide it, and she saw everything, her eyebrows dropped with a concerned expression and her hands immediately wrapped around me. She crawled onto the bed next to me and my head leaned against her chest as she hugged me into her arms, she felt so warm and I felt protected by her.

“She's mad at me, right?” I muttered in his chest. I felt Adrian rub my arm.

“He's not angry, he's just upset and scared. We're all worried about you.” I felt her lips coming into contact with my upper head, she was so soft and sympathetic to me. I know, I fell in love with her, I just wish she was always there to be with me when I fell.
