Chapter twenty-three. The devil will always come back.

How my life looked like only one month ago was hell. I was trapped and I had almost no hope left...until this man came for me,and saved me.
I looked at Nicola who laid in the hospital bed. Five days has passed since he took the overdose,and he's on his way to recovery...but it still hurts to see him like this.
"Thank you..." I said and took the coffe that Angelo gave to me. He sat down in the chair besides me and took small sips on his coffe. The only sound in the room was the machine that monitored Nicola's heartbeat. Until a knock on the door made our attention turn towards the door.
"Ms. Casey?" A doctor asked. She was cute with her red hair in a bun...and I think that Angelo thought so too...
"We will try to wake up Nicola from the coma,in a few hours. We just wanted to give you an update and if so pleased,you can be here in the process." I gave her a nod and a smile. Angelo made eye-contact with her,and she blushed at his eyes. My smile widen for a bit until I could hear the monitor...
"Flat line! CODE BLUE!" The doctor rushed to Nicola,other doctors running into the room. "You need to get out,now!" A nurse pushed both me and Angelo out of the room,closed the door behind us...
"Cardiac arrest! We need to shock him." I could hear every word they were saying. And I think that my own heart stoped.
Both mine and Angelo's eyes met. Fear was evident in his own eyes. His hand found his mouth as we saw how Nicola's whole body jolts from the electric shocks he'a receiving. The monitor starts to sound normal again,and I can see how all the nurses and doctors faces turns into relief.
Oh god...
"Shit..." Angelo's hand start to shake a little bit,but he bites down onto his knuckles as he tries to calm down..."It's okay,He's fine now..." I try to calm Angelo. He looks at me with those eyes. So much sadness and fear.
"Fuck I-I need a break..." Angelo walks away. I stand there until the door opens again and the nurse tells me it's okay to go inside...
"Is he okay?" I ask as I sit down on the chair besides his,holding his hand in the process.
"Ms.Casey...the cardiac arrest could have done more damage then we know for now...you need to know that there is an possibility that he might never wake up..." her words stab my heart like an knife. Of course he will wake up!
A little laugh escapes my lips. The nurse looks at me concerned. "You have no idea who this man is." I say and look at her. She looks a little confused at me. "This man has survived the worst things any human can. He will always come back...The devil always come back." I whisper the last part for myself. If there is something I know in this life it is that no matter what,no matter how...the devil will always come back. He will always find his way to you...

Four days has gone by like a flash. They have removed the tube out of Nicola's throat,and he's breathing on his own. No complications has happened since the cardiac arrest and they say that if we're lucky...he will wake up anytime soon.
I talked to Angelo yesterday. He had to go Ella,but will be back when-if...Nicola wakes up.
My poor Nico...
The air in the room is thick. It doesn't smell good,it smells like the typical hospital smell. It's colour-less. It's empty...it's not home. I want to go home...
A cough caught my attention as I were staring out of the window. My head turns automatically towards Nicola,and he's awake!
"NURSE!" I yell.
