Ch19: Out of the Blue

I don't remember when they took her from my hands or when we went to the hospital. I don't remember but a blurred haze that I couldn't wake up from. All I knew that nothing seemed real to me. I don't know what to do anymore.

After the accident with a couple of months, I woke up in Green. All the family came back, it felt like nothing changed at all. The house is still the same, the city is still the same but why is my heart like this.

"I guess I have to ask now how are you holding up?" Varden stood leaning on the door to my room.

"Pretty tough, I have had horrible nightmares for the last few month and everything seems unreal. It's as if she didn't come at all and all I have been through is just a huge nightmare." I said as I was getting dressed. Today was a very important day, I needed to be ready.

He threw something at me; it is a small gift box. "Emerald told me to give you this to reassure you" he patted my back as he left.

I stood there hesitant for a second. "Varden, what is ...?"As I turned my head, he was gone. I guess he was busy, too.

I dressed up and I finished everything but something was missing. Maybe I should open the box after all.

I started to unwrap it. Emerald knew I might need this today. I smiled to myself. She always had my back and now this.

I went to the same road, down the same house, I can't believe this is happening. I contemplate the idea once more. I must be dreaming, something is not quite right here. I hold what emerald gave me and look at it once again to comfort my heart.

As I look up, I see the most wonderful thing my eyes had laid sight upon. But I simply couldn't believe my eyes are those delicate dimples and hazel almond eyes finally mine? My heart is racing. I don't think my body can contain my happiness. Today has finally arrived.

"Good thing I was not too late or I would have probably attended your wedding" She smiled at me.

"I told you before you will probably attend it but as my bride" I responded remembering that night.

"I can't believe we are finally, here" she looked absolutely stunning in that white dress.

I open my hands for her to find our locket still as good as new. The L still engraved and our first picture laid inside. "I thought I lost it on that day in the court, I woke up but it was not there, I said they must have lost it during the operation or while they transferred me." She held it to her heart "How did you find it?"

"I had it with me at the hospital but it was broken so I gave it to Emerald to fix it and here it is." I winked at her while playing with one of those locks that I truly adored. I approached her gently and kissed her.

"The mind is its own place. It can make a heaven out of hell and a hell out of heaven." MILTON; Inscribed on the walls of the great city hall in green. We just finished signing her transferring papers and choosing a green name "Vera Teal Green".
