'The Secret of Ella and Micha Chapter 21\r'
' Micha\r\nThe hospital lights are bright and the billet is a little cold, provided Ellas warm collapse in mine is comforting. The doctor doped me up with a sedative to ease the pain and indeed I lay down on the bed, delay for them to pursue clean the fragments of the branch pop egress of my wound.\r\nI was scared shitless when I crashed into that tree, worried I was going to die and leave Ella behind with no ace. But direct, Im feeling pretty good.\r\nEthan peers over me and scrunches his schnoz at the wound. ââ¬Å"Its gnarly run intoing.ââ¬Â\r\nI shove him surface of the way and pull Ella down beside me. ââ¬Å"Hey there, pretty girl, come sit with me.ââ¬Â\r\nShe giggles, then scans at someone and laughs harder. ââ¬Å"I view you might be better publication trying to shut your eyes,ââ¬Â she tells me.\r\nI shake my target from side to side. ââ¬Å"No way, all I pauperism to do is stare at you all day.ââ¬Â\r\nShe snorts a laugh and then smoothes my h air indorse from my head. ââ¬Å" drop protrude talking, in advance you say something embarrassing.ââ¬Â\r\nI search my brain, not chanceing anything embarrassing stashed away inside. ââ¬Å"Ill be fine.ââ¬Â I reach over with my good hand and find her leg. Grabbing hold of it, I pull her over toward me so she falls onto the bed.\r\nââ¬Å"Micha,ââ¬Â she says, her green eyes so entire I can beguile my reflection in them. ââ¬Å"There are people everywhere.ââ¬Â\r\nI glance from left to right, not seeing anything besides muzzy shapes. ââ¬Å"I think were good.ââ¬Â I move into buss her and she gives me a quick peck on the lips, before leaning away.\r\nââ¬Å"How about you rest your head in my lap,ââ¬Â she says. ââ¬Å"And Ill rub your digest until you go to sleep.ââ¬Â\r\nââ¬Å"But what if I wake up and youre not here?ââ¬Â I ask, sounding like a little baby, but not giving a shit.\r\nShe presses her lips together and sighs. ââ¬Å"Im not going anywhere.â â¬Â\r\nââ¬Å"You promise?ââ¬Â\r\nââ¬Å"I promise.ââ¬Â\r\nShe sits up and I rest my head on her lap. She rubs her fingers up my back and through my hair. I hold onto her as I drift into unconsciousness.\r\n Ella\r\nMicha is lying on my bed without a shirt on, fiddling with the bandage covering the seaman where the branch stabbed into him. The doctors couldnt stitch it up because it was too broad of an injury, so he has to keep it covered and is not allowed to take showers, something he had jokingly griped about at the hospital as he winked at me.\r\nIts been a few days since the accident and the Chevelle is parked out in his garage in ruins. When I maxim it in the light, I practically passed out because it doesnt look like an accident anyone would walk away from; the drivers portal is caved in and the front fender fell all told off.\r\nââ¬Å"This is going to leave an awesome battle scar.ââ¬Â He pushes the bandages back down over the wound.\r\nââ¬Å"Im glad you th ink so.ââ¬Â I read the email that showed up in my inbox the day after the accident. Turns out, I got the internship at the museum and now I have no idea what to do. I want to do it â⬠its a great opportunity, but I also dont want to leave him.\r\nââ¬Å"What are you reading?ââ¬Â he asks, sliding his legs off the bed, head start to get to his feet.\r\nââ¬Å"Nothing. I was equitable looking through my emails.ââ¬Â I shut the computer screen off, arise onto the bed with him, and lean back against the headboard, stretching my legs out.\r\nHe points at the drawing of the broken mirror on my wall. ââ¬Å"I like that one. Especially the guitar part.ââ¬Â\r\nIt turned out to be my best piece, full of memories, and a afterlife I wasnt able to see until I in the long run let go. A freedom given to me by Micha because he refused to let me go.\r\nââ¬Å"Me too,ââ¬Â I agree. ââ¬Å"I think Ill probably turn it in as one of my art projects one day.ââ¬Â\r\nââ¬Å"Its got a lot of significance in it,ââ¬Â he comments.\r\nI smile and seashore down, putting my head next to his. ââ¬Å"I know.ââ¬Â\r\nHe rolls to his side carefully, so he doesnt hurt his berm and were lying face to face. ââ¬Å"Wheres your head, Ella May? Ever since the accident, youve been genuinely politic.ââ¬Â\r\nIm so c lapse to him I can see the dark specks of blue in his aqua eyes. Ive been quiet because that wickedness made me realize something important. For a take off second, I thought Id lost him and it opened up my heart and freed what Id buried deep inside me that night on the bridge.\r\nI look into his eyes, no lifelong afraid of whats in them, but afraid Ill sustain what they carry. ââ¬Å"I just dont ever want to lose you.ââ¬Â\r\nHis eyebrows dip together as he shore up onto his elbow. ââ¬Å"Is that what its been about? The accident? Because Im fine.ââ¬Â He points to the bandages. ââ¬Å"Its just a tiny scrape.ââ¬Â\r\nââ¬Å"I know youre okay,â⠬ I say, sounding choked. ââ¬Å"But for a second I didnt think you were.ââ¬Â\r\nââ¬Å"Hey.ââ¬Â He cups my cheek and kisses me tenderly. ââ¬Å"Im okay. Youre okay. Everythings okay.ââ¬Â\r\nI take a deep breath and let it out before I can suck it back in. ââ¬Å"Micha, I love you.ââ¬Â\r\n'
