If Only..(Part 1 And Part 2 Included)(Under Edit)

Chapter 18 - Encounter

 I was lucky enough, there wasn't anyone, who would stop me, from going near him. Although, I planned on just checking on him, but instead I impulsively walked in.

As I crossed the threshold of the room, my body chilled and I froze in my place. What I witnessing was colder than the temperature of the room. I took steps back till my back hit the wall.

I found him at the end of the day but I wasn't sure if I could ever see him so vulnerable- fighting with his life. Gathering my strength, I sucked in my dwelling tears and tip toed my way towards his bed.

The room was silent only broken by the beeping monitors. And every such beep seemed to test my strength every minute. The fluctuating blood pressure and heartbeat count in the monitor was steering in a storm inside me.

Even though, this silence was the most chaotic but he on the other hand was looking peaceful than ever. For a moment I found myself staring at him without thinking about any forces that might have effected me.

I should be hating him, right? He cheated on me!

But, seeing him in this state felt like someone senselessly stabbing me. Maybe that stinging sensation would be less than the pain I was feeling at this moment.

A bluriness spread over my vision and a lump choked inside my throat. A tear streamed down my cheeks. One after the other. I was crying.

A sudden low groan, jolted me out of my thoughts. I  hastily rubbed off my tears and pulled up my best to put a stoic expression. I looked down, to see him open his eyes half way. He looked up to me, through half-open eyes, and creased his eyebrows.

"You!!" he spoke in a raspier tone, with a crease in his eyebrows"Your next bounty is over me? Hah! Bloody opportunist!"

"No!"

He scoffed, "Look at me.....I...am failing to trust your no."

"The feeling would be mutual, Claros."

This time, he took a proper look at my face. Maybe, trying to study, me. But, I dare not put down the shield of coldness, off my face. He is not the person, who would ever understand sh*t about it.

"Why are you here?" he demanded.

"Why am I here?'" I should be asking myself too. I fought through the odds, to reach here, but here I am failing to answer, one simple question, "Why am I here?"

"To see me in a pathetic state?" he added and let out an unhumorous chuckle, "Good for you. At least now you know that I can't be destroyed. Now that you have seen me, woman..." struggling in a sharp breath, "I suggest you be a wise one and get the hell out of here because my target doesn't miss everyday."

"You think I am scared of you?"

Supporting his elbow over the bed he sat up in his place and titled his head over the headboard panting out.

"Careful!"

"More than you are at this point of time!" He shot his head up and snapped at her. Get out from my sight, before you regret."

My blood was boiling at that point of time. It was like some kind of force pushing me to act the most reckless way, but I was calm. I had to be.

I chuckled, pretty sure making him more pissed off. "What would you do? Shoot me?" Crossing my hands, "You can't kill me because you already killed me that day."

"Your words won't affect me, anymore. So save those words for someone who...... Who would be stupid to not read through your facade."

"I can't believe... I fell for you?"
