"Come on ma'am. We need to take a statement, but we will let you go see the young man first," he says, walking me towards the car.
He opens the door and lets me sit in the back seat. I can’t utter a word. I just want to get to Damon. Tears are rolling down my cheeks and burning my eyes. We take the journey and arrive at the hospital. The police officer asks where Damon is and walks me to the emergency room. I walk in the room and can’t hold back the tears. Damon is there with an oxygen mask on, a nurse fussing over him.
"We managed to bring him back. He is still in critical condition but please, sit down and talk to him. He might hear you"
I nod, sitting beside him and taking his hand. "Damon I am so sorry. Please wake up. I am so sorry. I love you so much. Please don’t leave me please," I plead as fresh tears start filling my eyes.
It is so hard to see him like this. His hair a mess and he is so pale. I sit holding his hand, crying. I suddenly feel the grip on my hand get tighten. "Damon." I shout sitting up to look at him. He is trying to open his eyes. He grips my hand tighter again.
"Please wake up" I beg him.
He opens his eyes and looks at me. He tries to take the mask off his face. "No, please, keep it on," I say, grabbing his other hand.
"I'm so s...s...sorry," he mumbles. I shake my head
"No, don’t be sorry. I spoke with Grams. I am so sorry. I should have let you explain. Please forgive me, “I say getting up and sitting on the side of his bed.
I throw my arms around his neck and sob, as the tears of relief flood through me. He carefully puts his arms around me and pulls me closer.
"I'm sorry. I love you. Please forgive me," he says weakly.
"I do. I do forgive you. I love you and can't imagine life without you," I say running my hands through his messed up hair. He pulls his mask of, his breathing labored, and lifts my head up to kiss him. I give him a quick kiss and pull his mask back down. I snuggle on the bed beside and hold him close. Fresh tears start but this time its tears of gratitude.
My love, my Damon is back and I love him so.
