chapter 2
Walking into the hospital and walking calmly as possible to the front desk and I can tell the male doctor knows who I am, so I walk over to him
"I'm looking for Alexandra Krieger's room?"
He looks at me wide eyes for a second
"Relation to the patient?"
"You gonna leak it if I tell you?"
I ask him whilst lifting an eyebrow, he stutters
"N-nn-no ma'am"
"Good well I'm her girlfriend"
I say
"Well she's in room 214" just follow the signs"
He says, I nod and walk away and towards the the room.
Opening her door I see her staring at the wall with silent tears telling me what I already thought. I sit in the chair by her side and hold her hand and look at her, when she feels my hand touch her she looks at me and the dams of her eyes break free and sobs wrack her body so I get on the left side of the bed and pull her into me to let her cry it out of her system and I just whisper reassuring words into her ear and after a while she calmed down.
I looked down to see she was playing with my necklace the one she bought it was a dog tag with our initials and the date of when we first went on a date and my allergies so it means I don't have to take it off ever unless it's in the ring.
I got her a bracelet with a soccer ball for her with her initials engraved and a cross that represents and then a ufc glove a charm that had to be custom made with my initials and then a symbol of our high school and of Penn state vs unc since we started dating in junior year in high school. We both knew what schools we wanted to go to and I thought friendly rivalry would be funny to remind her no matter if we are against each other of working together we always know where we began.
when it came to college we went to different schools and they were rivals but I met a cool friend Heather O'Reilly we've been friends ever since I did double major in education and germanic and slavic languages and minored in things here there and everywhere me and Heather were partnered together and got close I met her boyfriend Dave and I had to wait for her after training one day and I managed to slip out that it looked like a light workout and she looked at me incredulously and said how in the he'll that was light and I told her my training and she looked at me like I was a wounded puppy and from there we joked and at parties she'd realised I'd push anyone who flirted away and realised I had to tell her I was gat and thought the friendship had ended but she was very accepting and the next 7 hour car drive to penn state to see Ali, HAO wanted to come along.
Years later she has to keep our secret and she does and I love her for that and that she comes to any fight she can but I think that's so she can shout verbal abuse at me without being looked at like she's an idiot.
So when HAO came through the door I wasn't surprised but it made Ali jump a little ready to spring away even though it was very reluctant only to realise it was only HAO she quickly snuggled back into me.
"Ali I've only got 25 minutes before I've got to go, my trainer bumped up my flight so I can start to get ready early as possible"
I say she looks a little sad about it but we both understand how he tic our lives can be to be fair it's part of the charm.
"Okay, but I need one thing" she motions for me to lean down so she can whisper it but instead she kisses me
Every time she kisses me, even fourth of July could compare to how many fireworks go off its like an atomic explosion around our lips as the nerves sense the touch and relish in it. HAO ruins the moment by clearing her throat. I get up and hug my best find of 9 years in a tight hug not caring about sweat because I'm use to it by now.
I look at HAO "you take care of my girl now for me"
I say to her and she chuckles "sure I will and we will try to stay out of trouble we promise" she says whilst wiggling her eyebrows that makes us all laugh and lightens the mood
"Hey the girls leave in the morning you should come too so the trainers and physio therapists can look after you " she suggests
"Yeah and if you need a break come down to London I always make time for my girl always" I say whilst walking forward and kissing her forehead and she smiles at me
"Okay see you in london" she whispers at me
"See you in london"
I kiss her quickly
"Love you but gotta leave but see ya soon my love"
I say whilst walking towards the door
"Love you too"
I hear, I chuckle and walk out to my car and off to my home to get my bags and off to the airport i go
