The naturals - one shots

Hospital scence TN2

This one shot takes place after the Killer Instinct. Briggs is visiting Sterling in hospital.
...
The tears fell down in my mouth. It was the reaction I tried to suppress for weeks.
Maybe a Month.
With shuddering shoulder I wrapped my arms around the hospital pillows.
I was fine right?
But my legs tight to my chest and tried to close my eyes.
Was this what I was afraid of the whole time?
Will this ever stop?
The feeling of darkness without stars or moonlight, that could bring at least a bit of light.
What was I thinking to come back here?
Here where it was so obvious that my the sharp memories would could open my Scars.

The door opened without a knock.
„Hey I just... I'm sorry I didn't meant to"
Automatically I turned around and looked straight in the eyes of my Ex husband, holding flowers in his hands.
„No its alright u can stay"
My voice was creaking, not really there and I was surprised by my own statement.
„Are you ok?" He asked and laid down the flowers next to my bed.
„I think so, I mean I only have an concussion" I stumbled and tried to whip my tears away.
They made me look weak and that was the last thing he should think about me.
His next words came more unexpected than I wanted to admit. „I was worried about you and I still am" Another wave of emotions hit me. It was like someone destroyed the wall of an massive pool, all the sudden I started to cry again.
