If Ever (COMPLETED - EDITING)

Chapter 82 - Kai

Kai

The tears finally stopped. I went back out after washing my face and using the loo really quick. She was probably still asleep.

Rob would be here any minute, I knew she'd know Rob. There was no way she wouldn't know him.

I sat back down next to her and she reached out a small scrawny hand, I held it and kissed it, every finger, her eyes were still closed. "Kai." she said again, like she was trying to remember, I didn't know what she wanted? Was she calling me or just saying my name?

"Yes, my love?" She said nothing.

"Kai." she said again.

I kissed her face. "I'm here, baby." She didn't reply, she just fiddled with my fingers. And I remembered every time she had done that when my hands were in her lap. She always fiddled with my fingers, playing with them.

I figured she was just saying my name. "love you." she said, my head snapped up. What? oh my god I thought I was done crying. My eyes welled up, and I wiped them on my shirt. I stood, leaning over and kissed her on her lips, that were still so soft, those lips that I'd know anywhere.

"Ella?" she struggled. But opened her eyes into slits. I kissed her again on her lips. "I love you more, baby girl." her lip quirked on one end so slightly, if I didn't know her face so well, I would have missed it. And she closed her eyes again. "Baby, I'm so sorry for leaving you, Ella, I'm so fucking sorry." I sat back down and put her hand on my face, her fingers moved across my face and all my memory of her just flooded back. It was too much.

"I'm sorry." she mumbled. Fuck. I put my hand over hers. Fuck, I was never going to leave her anywhere ever again. I'd thought about it a million times, if I were here, this wouldn't have happened to her.

Her hand didn't leave mine, but her fingers stopped moving, so I guessed she was exhausted and she needed to rest but her hand was still in mine and I held it resting my head on her bed.

Rob walked in 10 minutes later. His face was so different, the relief was so fucking apparent. I stood up and we hugged each other so fucking hard. He had tears in his eyes. 

"She up?" He asked wiping his face. I nodded.

"Now and then, mate. Doc said she would be exhausted and not to let anyone else in apart from you." He nodded. "Has she said anything?"

I nodded, "she said my name and she said love you, she said she was sorry." His eyes filled again. Eyebrows touching his hair. He shook his head. "Of course, those were her last words before." He said shaking his head, but his tears didn't stop either. Neither of us cared at this point.

"What did they say about the amnesia?"

"They don't know what she remembers, they said this was a big enough deal and to let it take time. She can't move her toes or her right hand, she can move her fingers on her left." He nodded.

"Rob, they asked her name, she said Ella Walker."

"Oh fuck." We were speaking softly, her hand twitched. "She moved." Rob said. I nodded. He pulled up a chair next to mine, closer to Ella's face.

"Ella, baby? Look who's here." I said. She opened her eyes, they were tiny slits. He looked at her, without any expectations, I was glad for that. "R...ob." She said, moving her fingers, but her arm didn't move. He hitched, crying harder and held her hand in his, tears were flowing down his face. "Lala." he said. She closed her eyes, but her lips quirked again so slightly. "Ro." Her eyes were still closed.
