#the_next_day
I sat in the ward staring at Damon, waiting patiently for him to open the his eyes. I had already prepared food for him. Once he is awake, I will feed him so he would gain his strength.
I didn't know how I was going to break the news about his health to him. But I just prayed for one thing, that his humanity is back on.
If he doesn't feel for me, I don't know what I will do this time. I love him and it hurts to know he doesn't feel anything for me anymore.
I heard little groaning and I saw Damon shut his eyes in pain.
"Damon." I called happily and he opened his eyes slowly. He looked around and then his eyes finally landed on mine.
"Damon it's me. It's Mary." I said and the next thing I saw was that he smiled at me.
"Hey." He said and I laughed happily.
"How are you feeling?" I asked and he smiled again.
"I don't know be honest. I just know I feel some pains around my body, and I remember I was shot while trying to save Beyonce. How is she?" He asked and I held his hand.
"Weak too. But she will be fine." I said smiling.
"So what did the doctor say about my health?" He asked staring at me.
"Can you please let me ask you a question first?" I asked and he nodded.
"Go on." He said.
"Do you love me? Do you feel anything for me at all?" I asked and he smiled.
"Mary you are the second woman I have loved my whole life, and you will be the last. I love you, and you should know that." He said and I laughed happily.
"Do you know how long I have been waiting to hear that? I hoped and prayed so hard that your humanity would be back on once you are awake." I said and he smiled.
"The first time I opened my eyes, I hoped I saw you first. And that was exactly what happened. I couldn't stop dreaming about you while I was asleep." He said holding my hand and we laughed.
"The sweet Damon is back." I said and he nodded.
"Yes he is." He said and I kissed his lips faintly.
"So where am I going to be discharged? Can't wait to leave this place." He said and I sighed sadly bowing my head.
"Damon the report from the doctor wasn't that good. But it's for the best." I said and then his smile faded.
"If it doesn't mean letting you go, i can endure it." He said and I smiled.
"He said the bullet hit some vital organs and you won't be able to walk until after a month." I said and his mouth dropped open.
"And how does he expect me to move within a month? I lay in bed like this?" He asked and I shook my head.
"No. He recommended a chair that you would sit on for a month." I said and he looked away sadly.
"Damon I know this is hard, but it you try walking or not taking to his advice, it's going to worsen that case and I don't dream or even think of losing you." I said and he looked at me.
"So you want to be with a guy that won't walk on his leg for a month?" He asked.
"I waited weeks for your humanity to come on. It won't take me anything to wait for a month to stand on your feet again." I said and he took my hand in his and kissed the back of my palm.
"I love you Mary. I do so very much, and I want to say thank you. For everything, standing by me when I needed someone even though I was a pain in the a*s." He said and I smiled.
"Actually you should thank Bee. She thought me how to not lose hope." I said and he shook his head.
"No you taught her. Remember when you made her win Ramson over. You are still the best when it comes to having faith in people." He said and I lowered my head and kissed him again.
"Damon." I heard Ramson call at the door. He was looking happy and so was Damon.
"Look who is here. " Damon said and Ramson approached us. He got to Damon and hugged him against the bed.
"I am happy you are okay." He said.
"Only the part of sitting on a chair for a month makes that okay not quite okay." He said and Ramson smiled.
"I trust you. You can do this, with Mary by your side." He said looking at me.
"I know and that's why I am happy to see her. But we need to talk Little brother." Damon said and Ramson looked at me.
"Beyonce is awake and is with Raph. You should go see her." Ramson said and I nodded looking at Damon before stepping out of the ward.
I walked down the hallway to where Bee's ward was. I got there and I looked In through the door and I saw she and Raph were having a good chat due to the expression on her face.
I bet Ramson told her about the child yet, and it's best for her. She shouldn't know anything, not now she still has high blood pressure.
I opened the door and they both turned their faces to me.
"Mary." She called smiling.
"Bee. How are you feeling now?" I asked grinning as I kissed her forehead.
"Better, thanks to you all." She said happily and I nodded looking at Raph.
"She is still very beautiful even on the sick bed." He said to me and I laughed.
"Yes she is." I replied.
"So what about Annie? She saved my life and Ramson's" she said looking at Raph.
"She ran for her dear life. Ramson said he spared her once because she saved your lives but won't do that again when he sets his eyes on her again." He said and she sighed.
"And what do you think about that?" She asked him.
"That I don't want to set my eyes on her again. And I want to get the hell out of this town as soon as you are discharged and out of this country for good." He said.
"You and Ramson already talked about us traveling out?" Bee asked and he nodded.
"It's for the best. It's for you and the baby." He said and she sighed sadly.
"I am going to miss Ramson so much and that's why it's so hard to just go away." She said and I understood exactly what she felt.
It was the same thing I felt when Damon's humanity was off.
"You don't need to worry about you missing him. He will be going with you." He said and her eyes widened.
"Really? What of his job, he has never left this Town." I said and he looked at me.
"You need to sacrifice somethings to make sure your loved ones are safe. That's exactly what Ramson is going to do. But we need to be careful, we can't let anyone know this, cos we don't want anymore attacks on our way out of town." He said and I nodded
Deep down I wondered what would happen with Damon and I. Ramson and Beyonce are leaving, Raph is also leaving. Leaving Damon and I alone in this town.
