Love Sick

Fiona was waking up the next day. Her head was hurting and also spinning. She felt dizzy. She barely could remember what happened. The only thing she knew was that someone pushed her on the back. She fell and then everything went black. When she woke up, someone was holding her hand, and she wonders who it could be. When she opened her eyes, it was still blurry and the lights were dim. It did take some time until she could see that she was in a single patient room and the person holding her hand is Alastor. His upper body was laying on the bed while he was sitting on the chair. She felt a stabbing pain in her head when she tries to sit up. Alastor woke up by her movement, and he looked at her and was so happy that she was awake. "Fiona, finally you're awake. I was so worried that you never wake up, my dear.", he said, and it was the first time in his life that he felt so many things. He was angry, worried, sad and also scared. Fiona was such a kind and lovely person, who had so many problems in her life to master. "How long did I sleep?", she asked him, a bit confused and also unsure. "A bit more than 5 days, darling.", he told her. She was getting in a panic because she was so long unconscious. She was worried that Emma maybe was in trouble while she wasn't awake. Alastor holds her and does tell her that her sister is fine and that she stays at Dorothy's house for now on. Fiona felt now a bit easier and didn't know what to say. Alastor was relieved that Fiona woke up and also did calm down. Dorothy was getting into the room and was also happy to see her best friend awake. She was so worried about Fiona and would punch the person in the face who did course her fall. Alastor was leaving the room for a while because now he had to find out who dared to hurt his beloved woman.

Husk was working at the bar and washing some glasses. He hasn't seen Alastor for a longer time. It still bothers him that he broke up with him like their relationship was nothing. He really enjoyed touching him everywhere he could, but that changed suddenly. Alastor also once dated Mimzy when he was around 17 and broke up with her when he was 19 years. Husk was surprised that Alastor did come over to have a drink one day. He saw how angry he was. Alastor was also cursing and that he wanted to kill someone who pushed a woman. "Why do you care about a woman anyway?", Husk said calmly while giving him another drink. Alastor did give him such a deadly glare that he knew this woman was very important to him. "Who is she and how old is she? Does she know your little secret?", he asked him calm, and Alastor looked at him very annoyed. "I won't tell you who she is. She is still 15 and no she doesn't. I met her December last year.", he said calmly, and had the desire to help her so madly. "I think she is too young for you to understand you and also inexperienced. She sure wouldn't know where to touch you too...", before he could finish his sentence, Alastor did hit the table. "Be quiet Husk! You don't know her! I love it that she is inexperienced, pure and innocent. She makes me such a warm feeling which I never had when I dated others...", he said and was drinking then. "Is she may be the reason you did break up with me?", Husk asks him, and Alastor looks at him with wide eyes. "No, she isn't... Could it be are you jealous?", he asks him and was pulled by Husk and forced into a rough kiss. Alastor pushes away, but Husk was taller and stronger than him, what he really hated. Then he was pulled over the bar and was being carried away by him. "Let go!", he screamed and didn't want this, but Husk didn't care. He forced Alastor to some sex in his bedroom and Alastor wished he was with Fiona, which doesn't want his body. The next day, Alastor was happy that it was over. His body was covered in bites, bruises, scratches and love bites. He felt like a piece of shit and left as soon as he could. Husk also tied him up, so he couldn't run away. Alastor was trying to hide the marks of the robes on his wrists so that no one finds out what happened to him. He was going to work as usual. He was not in a good mood because of Husk he was unable to kill someone, but he did hide it behind his smile. After work, he was checking on Fiona and how she is doing. Fiona looked a lot better than yesterday, and she also smiled again. But what he didn't realize that she saw the markings of the robes. "What happened?", she asked him worried, and Alastor was acting like there was nothing. But then he moved his sleeves up and saw the scratched and bruises. He also flinched a bit because it still did hurt. "Alastor who did this to you?", she was curious. Then he was looking away because he was embarrassed about himself. Fiona was calming down. "Alastor you don't have to tell me. I'm there for you if you need me.", she said with a calm and sweet voice, and he couldn't resist holding her. He was crying what he normally never does but with her, he could, and he was happy that she is fine but still, he wanted to know who it was and punish this person for that what he or she did to his beloved girl. Fiona also told him that she inherited a mansion in the forest, far away from other people. She wanted to live there with him together. She wanted to be close to him and also know him a bit better than she does right now. Fiona did take care of his wounds, and she couldn't hide her worry and sadness. Alastor softly touches her face. "I'm fine darling.", he said with a smile, but she didn't believe him because his eyes didn't smile. They showed pain and embarrassment. She was holding him and saying that everything is alright and that she will be always there for him. He was happy to have her. He wouldn't allow anyone to touch or hurt her. Likewise, he was glad that he didn't tell Husk who she is, or he maybe also does get the idea of hurting her. Alastor was taking Fiona out for a walk. The doctor said that it's better if she is not working for 2 weeks. That's why Alastor thought it was an opportunity for him to take care of her. It was the first time after his mother passed away that he did care for someone. He couldn't take his eyes off from her. He also wanted to move with her together in the Mansion she did get from her grandfather. That's why Fiona has the right to get her little sister and live with her together. But who would have known what the future brings them? Still, there were people who didn't grant them this happiness.
