Love And War Chpt.74

When I woke up from my drug induced sleep, Adam was no longer beside me. The throbbing in my head had dulled slightly. I sat up and got out of bed, but dropped quickly to the floor howling in pain, as the sudden movement caused my head to spin, I heard Adams rapid footsteps as he approached, he hoisted me up and put me back on the bed. 'what were you doing?' he said quizzically. 'I missed you...'I said groggily, the medication was messing with my head. I pulled Adam down to me by the collar of his shirt, and pressed his lips to mine, he tried to pull away, but then gave up. He kissed me back fiercely, pinning me down. Then as quickly as the kiss started, it ended. He pulled away, looking shocked and stumbled out of the room. I brought my fingers up to my lips, trying to remember the feel of his lips on mine.

I lay in darkness for hours before Alex walked in. 'I've got you some food and your medication.' he said cheerfully. 'where's Adam?' I whispered. His face fell, 'he's gone out for a bit, I've been trying to help him remember.' he said quickly, 'he remembers more than he let's on.' I nodded as a tiny ray of hope beamed through me, making me temporarily forget about the pain in my head.

Alex sat quietly while I ate and then watched over me, making sure I took the medicine.
Slowly my vision began to blur, as the sedatives took hold, once again I fell in to a dreamless sleep.

I stayed in my room until the doctor checked me over once more and declared me fit to go home. I rushed into my Mums arms as she rubbed her hand lightly over where the vase had hit me. 'I swear if she so much as looks at you ever again...'she muttered. I let go of her as Lucy walked out of the house with Amelie in her arms. I scooped her up kissing her tiny head, whispering nonsense in her ears. She smiled and giggled at me, grabbing at my hair and clothes. At that moment I forgot all my worries as I focused my whole attention on my beautiful baby, my beacon of hope.
