I woke up on the couch and pain shoots threw my neck, chest and side. I looked down to see I had a bandages on me wrapped up.

At first I was confused until I remembered what happened. Sam and I got into a fight and he phased too close to me. I started wondering where he is and looking for him but I didn't see him.

Soon Hercules came in and saw me standing up looking around. "You should be laying down." He says.

"I'm fine. Where's Sam?" I ask.

Hercules looks down and says "I don't know. I haven't seen him since I brought you inside."

I get sad thinking that this was the end before it even had a chance to begin. I just nod my head in understanding. "I think I'm going to go up to my room." I tell him.

I slowly make my way to my room with my head hanging low. I just don't know what to do anymore honestly. And I never even got the chance to even see what could come of this bond.

I turn on some music on my tv and just lay down and cry myself to sleep wishing he'd come back to me. Just because we were soulmates doesn't make him mine I guess, so maybe he will never come back to me.

Another three days seemed to pass and I didn't move very much. Only to go to the bathroom, shower, and eat. But Hercules always brought my food to me since I was on bed rest a little longer. All I did was watch tv or movies, listen to music, and cry.

That's what I'm doing right now. I keep thinking about this soulmate bond and if I'm ever going to get a chance to experience it. Tears roll down my cheeks as I lay there consumed with my thoughts. I was so deep in my head I didn't even hear a knock on my door and it open. I was laying with my back towards the door just wanting to stay in my bubble. I was brought back to reality when I heard his voice.

"Ariel?" He said. I didn't respond I just laid there staring at the wall ahead of me. He makes his way over to me and sits on the bed next to me.

"Ariel, I'm so sorry I hurt you for so long. I'm sorry for pushing you away so much, I'm sorry I got angry and phased, and I am so sorry I caused you to get hurt by my claws." He says and starts to sniffle like he's being crying.

"I never meant to hurt you. Everything was just too much with the legends, the cold ones, the soulmate/imprint bond, but that's not an excuse. But I just wanted to say I'm sorry and see how you were doing. I uhh guess I'll go and let you get some rest and recover. Again I'm really sorry." He says and gets ready to get up when I finally speak.

"It's okay. I forgive you. I know it's been a lot for you to process." I just lay here still but he gets up and crawls into the bed with me and pulls me into his chest wrapping his arms around me. He places his cheek against my head and let's some tears fall.

We stayed like that for hours. Just wrapped up in each other. The pain slowly started to go away finally being close to him. I woke up a little bit still feeling his chest against me and I snuggle deeper into him and his warmth.

I feel his arms tighten around me a little bit. I open my eyes and see him looking down at me. He leans over a little and kisses my forehead and places his against mine. "We fit together like a puzzle piece." He says.

I giggle and say "yeah I guess we do huh."

There was a knock on the door and I see it was dad.

"Hi dad" I say smiling at him but staying in Sam's arms.

"Well I see someone got his head out of his ass." Dad says making me giggle even more. I feel Sam's chest vibrating from chuckling.

"Yeah I did. I couldn't deal with the pain anymore and just wanted to be with her." Sam says.

"Well I'm glad. I just came to check on my daughter before I went home." Dad says. I finally wiggled out of Sam's arms and went over to dad. I still had my wrappings on.

Dad took them off to look at the scaring to make sure it healed. "You look pretty healed up now. So you don't have to put bandage back up. Just don't piss him off again with your temper princess." I chuckle at dad knowing he's right. My temper is bad.

"Yeah I won't be doing that again." I say.

After dad had left I went down to the kitchen and started to make some dinner. Sam stayed close to me. He kept occasionally kissing my neck where the scar started. "I'm so sorry Ariel." And says hugging me right from behind. "Sam it's okay. It's my fault. I pushed you to being so angry you phased." I tell him kissing his cheek.

"I want to take you on a date tomorrow." He says.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes let me take you on a date."

"Okay, yeah let's do it."

Once dinner was done, we all ate and sam went out for patrol that night. For the first time in a month and a half the pain was almost gone in my chest. Maybe things will get better for us now. I couldn't help but think about what could come of our relationship. Sam was handsome and very well built. He had a temper but a sweet side to him once he put his pride to the side. Maybe, just maybe things between him and I will finally take off and we can be happy together.
