I know it took me AGES to update but Diego and Xavier put my fish up for adoption so cut me some slack.
All jokes aside I'm literally hanging on by a thread, I've hade 4 exams and I've only been at school for 3 days.

Dominico's POV:
I bought it.
The ring, I mean.
It was white gold encapsulated with microscopic diamonds not to mention the large, glistening one in the centre.
It was more than perfect for her.
I had spent the best part of weeks looking for it, ever since I was allowed out of the hospital my time was split between her and finding a ring that I desired to give her.
Nothing I found was ever good enough, it was always too bland or not 'bad bitch enough' as she would say.
Though the whole time I was lurking and searching, there was always a 'what if I never get to give it to her?' feeling in the back of my head.
It kept creeping out in the happy moments and I couldn't fight the thought back.
It grew to a point where I was tired of people telling me to keep my hopes up. Why the fuck should I do that? Where has hope ever gotten anyone?
When you have hope, you only get hurt.
And I'm tired of getting hurt. I can't watch her die and I can't be the reason she dies.
I can't back out now because I know that I'm the only reason she's living.
I didn't want to back out but the thought of 'what ifs' are tormenting me.
I should have died that day.
At least then she would be ok.
Nothing about her life will ever be normal but I wanted her to have normal.
I didn't want to her to save me but I knew I couldn't convince her other wise.
So now I'm here, alive and well but she's there alive and not.
She told me that she stopped being afraid of the darkness when she met me.
She would say 'it looks like your soul, black and empty'.
Of course she said it as a joke but part of her believed it and that part comforted me.
She wasn't alone in her head because I was there. I'll always be there, in the shadows of darkness.
"Dominico, we need to talk." Stefano grabs my shoulder leading me out the room as my eyes brush past the sleeping beauty.
I am lead to the hall where everyone else is anxiously waiting.
"The doctors have been talking and they want to try something." He announces looking worried.
"Try something?" Christian questions as confused as the rest of us.
"She's been in there for a while now and they don't see her waking up any time soon so they want to see if she'll do it on her own." He vaguely explains.
"Clearly she can't," Adriano points out the obvious while I'm still trying to process this.
"What if she decides to log off half way?" Diego asks.
I'm going to murder him.
"They want to debunk any device she is relying on and see if she can fight on her own." He explains.
"She's not a fucking computer, she's a person." Christian states.
"Yeah Stefanie, I thought we were feminists." Adriano shakes his head in despair.
He immediately backs down with the devilish look he receives from Stefano almost piercing through him.
"You know what I meant tipo."
