The Return ~A Merlin and Arthur Story~

Chapter 9

So you know that growing up I had a few extrapounds and no Liam. Please, don't tell me that I am beautiful either way, because those exact words made me hurt so much.

Flashback 2055 Jessica age 18

I was in my last year of high-school and the prom was fast apporaching. Everywhere I went on the school, the girls were talking about dresses and dates. Of course I wasn't involved in this chats. because I wasn't a popular girl. I was the chubby girl with only one friend and with glasses and braces. I didn't even had a prom date.

-Hey, Jessica. What are you doing Friday night? asked this hot guy from the basket ball team. His name was Mike.

-Um. Why? Why are you talking to me? I asked the hottes guy in my high school.

-I want to take you to prom.

-Why would you do that? I am a loser.

-It's your only shot to the prom. And you are beautiful just the way you are. Said Mike kissing me.

That was my first kiss. But it was a joke. And I will find out that soon.

-Oh, Ok. I guess.

-I'll come pick you up at seven. Bye, Jessica.

-Bye, Mike.

 

Present day

-Jess? What happened? Liam asked wiping the tears away. Even now years later, it still hurts. So much.

-What do you think it happened? I asked laughing

Back to the prom day.

I was getting ready for prom and I was beyond happiness that I finally had the chance to go to prom and with the hottest guy in school. And I just had my first-first kiss. I was over the moon. It was time to go to prom. At seven, my date was here, finally.

Everything went fine to the prom, I was having the time of my life, it was like I was living in a fairytale. I was like Cinderella.

Of course it turned out it was only a joke. The last thing I remember is that I was dancing and drinking a lemonade and after that...

After that, I woke up in the middle of nowwhere with a head ache, actually with an ache in my whole body. And my dress was shed to pieces and dirty. Just like my dignity.

Present day

He didn't say anything. Liam just hugged me and kissed my head with me in his arms sobbing. Then he whispered: "Everything is going to be ok. You are safe now, here with me. I love you. "

-Liam... I spoke after some time.

-Yes?

-I am sorry.

- What? You don't have anything to be sorry for. Jessica, you are amazing. I love

-I love you too. Now it's your turn to tell me about you.

- Ok. But beware. I am crazy.

*Liam's point of view*

- Goody. My name is Liam R. Cooper. I said giggling.

-What does "R" stand for?

- Um- Rogder. I really don't like it and it's weird. I said and she laughed.

-Li, you have to promise me that our baby won't have any crazy names.

-Oh, hell no! I said and we both laughed. Ok. I am obsessed with apples, I really don't know why because my dad hates them and my mom is allergic to them. I have a brother.

-Wait what? You have a brother? And I don't know anything about him?

-Yes. He is kind of a douchbag. I haven't spoken to him in over 15 years. So let's pretend he's not real.

-Liam. You can tell- but after the look on your face... well... I will lea-

-Wait. He's in prison. For life. I won't ever see him again. He caused an accident. A girl and a woman died. I was there. I was a kid. The girl was almost my same age. She was barely alive. It was like a miracle that she - Why are you crying?

-You-your bro-brother's name is Tru-Truman Cooper? Oh my God!

-NO! It's not possible. No. Jessica, I am so sorry, I-I-.

- You saved my life... she said kissing me. Look Liam, I miss them, my aunt and friend ,but it's not your fault. You were a kid and you are nothing like that man. You have a kind, big golden heart. I love you forever and always. Jessica added

I can't believe how small is this world. We decided to watch a movie when we were called to the hospital. we rushed there.

At the hospital Jessica's POV

-Molly, what do you have for us?

- Jessica, you need to do a surgery on a baby's heart. And Liam you need to do the mom's heart. Joel is in another surgery. Multiple car crash

-Excuse me. It's going to be fine? The baby? asked a woman

-Who are you? Molly asked her

-I am her godmother. Her mom is. My name is Amber Gibbs.

- Hey. I am Jessica Sealand. I will be operating on the baby. We will try our best.

-Thank you. Wait, Dr. Sealand?

-Yes?

- God bless.

After the surgery

-Miss, Gibbs? I said.

- How did it go?

-It went great. We still need to watch her but I am optimist. Her parents surgery should take a lot more because of the damage. But the baby will be fine. I said smiling to the woman.

- Can I give you a hug?

-Sure.

I turned to leave, I needed to see my other patients.

- Dr. Sealand? I couldn't help but notice that you have a irish accent. I had a grandmother for Dublin.

- Yes. I was born there. I lived on the Sandymount Avenue.

- Really? My grandmother too. Wait. When I was six, I met this girl named Jessica.

-Amber?

This can't be.

- 21 years...

I can't believe that she turned up here, after 21 years, exactly on the day I was telling Liam about her...

- Jessica!!!! Can you- yelled Joel but when he saw Amebr he stopped and stared.

-Joel, are you ok? I asked him

-Um-what? I -yes. Sorry. I need a consult in room 577. Hi!

- Hello.

- Joel, this is Amber Gibbs she is here for a patient, Amber, this is

- Dr. Joel Limner. I am sorry this is important. Nice meeting you.

-See you later. I said and ran towards the exam room

Joel's POV

Amber Gibbs. Amber Gibbs. Of course...
