Amanda's POV
"Girl she moved back in , she just dropped your keys at my house because tomorrow they're going to visit Ken's family. " Keisha said rolling her eyes and I chuckled at her rubbing the crust off the corners of my eyes, I already slept 3 times and this flight still isn't over .
" I understand your concerns KeKe but De'arra is a grown woman, let her make her own mistakes . She clearly hasn't learned from the previous ones and trust me, she won't leave Ken until she realizes that he's no good for her. Let her fall , she'll eventually get up and realize that you were right but don't force her to understand. I love Ken but I know for a fact that he's not the one for De'arra but that's for her to see not us . " I said as I looked Keisha through the camera, we were currently on FaceTime.

" I guess, girl I have to go ! Text me when you land in Iceland. " she said as she moved around in her house, probably gathering her stuff for work .
" Okay babe and by the way, thank you for packing for me while I went and got my hair done ." I said batting my eyelashes at her.
" I gotchu girl , I really have to go though . Bye, I love you." I hung up the phone but not before telling her I loved her too.
I sat my phone beside me on the bed and stretched before moving to the front of the jet .
Leonardo was seating on one of the chairs, looking out the window with his laptop in his lap .
" I thought the doctor and Mrs Reigns specifically told you 'no work'." I walked towards where he was seating and took a seat on the chair opposite him. He turned and looked at me with lazy eyes and a faint smile.
" Nobody tells me what to do Cara, I do as I please ." he said as his eyes roamed my body and I instantly pulled up the zipper of the rompers I was wearing . I knew I was going to come back super late from the salon so I asked Keisha if she could pack for me and pick out an outfit for me and boy !
" Eyes up here buddy . " I said snapping my fingers in front of his face and he chuckled before locking eyes with me.
" Pregnancy looks good on you ." I couldn't stop the grin from appearing on my face.

" I know . " I said flipping my imaginery hair .
" I take it back ." he said and I laughed at him .
" Thank you Cara ." he said and my eyes left the window and landed on him .
" For what ? " I asked looking at him confused.
" Luciano told me about you visiting the hospital every day , he even showed me videos of you reading to me and the ones of you two dancing which were hilarious." I chuckled at the mention of the dancing videos that me and Lucy did , " thank you for taking the time to do all those things for me , I truly appreciate it. " he said
" When you fell into that coma did you go to the land of the fairies ? You're acting humanly and it's weird . " I said teasing him and he playfully rolled him eyes giving me the middle finger.
" You're welcome. " I said softly after moments of silence.
"So... why Iceland ? " I asked as I played with one of the braids that hang on either side of my face.
" Luciano's idea . Apparently it's much safer than any place ." he said carelessly shrugging.
" Maybe ." I simply said before looking out the window.
" Is he kicking already ? " he asked as he pointed towards my bump, I chuckled before nodding.
" Can I uhmm... touch ?" he asked awkwardly scratching the back of his head.
" Sure ." I smiled waving him over and he moved his laptop to the side and attempted to stand up but he winced the moment he made the smallest movement. He threw his head back in frustration before trying again and miserably failing .
" Leonardo stop ! I'll just come over that side because you're going to rip open your stitches, hurting yourself." I said softly offering him a small smile.
" No ! I can do it ." he said and I sighed.
" Leonardo I know it's frustrating not being able to do things by yourself like before but you need to accept assistance because your injuries haven't healed properly y-- " he cut me off before I could finish.
" I SAID I CAN DO IT ." he barked and my eyes widened, taken back by his harsh tone. I rolled my eyes standing up from my seat.
" Okay do it then Leonardo and I hope, Oh God I pray that his stitches rip apart and his wounds get infected so he can DIE ! BECAUSE HE'S FUCKING STUBBORN AND WON'T LISTEN TO ANYBODY BUT HIMSELF . " I spat before turning around and heading towards the room I was previously in, leaving his ass behind. I slammed the door behind me, throwing myself on the bed .

" It has not even been 2 seconds and he's already getting under my skin . Honestly God , six more months in that coma wouldn't have hurt nobody, at least we would be in peace ." I mumbled while staring at the ceiling and shortly I fell into a deep slumber .
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
" Miss Amanda we're about to land, you need to take your seat. " one of Leonardo's men said after shaking me awake. I nodded before dragging myself out of the bed and walked to the front. I took a seat opposite Leonardo and put my seat belt on before looking out the window. I felt his gaze on me but I ignored it, watching the plane get closer and closer to the ground before landing smoothly . I stared out the window and saw nothing but snow and ice everywhere, looks cold.
" Here sir, ma'am ." the same guy who woke me up handed both me and Leonardo fur jackets and I happily accepted it.
" Thank you." I said before flashing him a smile and putting on the jacket, he nodded before walking away . I took off my seat belt ready to go but I looked at Leonardo as he struggled putting on his jacket, I sighed before walking towards him.
" Here , let me help you ." I said reaching for the jacket and he looked at me for a moment before handing me the jacket . I helped him put on the jacket and reached my hand out to him so I can pull him up and he hesitantly took it and shortly he was on his feet .
" Thank you . " he said and I gave him a nod.
" I'm sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have taken out my frustration on you. " he said making me stop in my tracks and turn around to face him.
" and I'm sorry about what I said, I don't really want you to die . " I said rocking back and forth with my hands behind my back.
" I know . " he said mimicking me and I playfully rolled my eyes.
" I take it back ." I mocked him and he chuckled before nudging my arm .
" Let's go. " I nodded before heading for the door and exiting the jet . The cold breeze hit me and if I wasn't awake back then, then I'm definitely awake now . I walked down the stairs and waited for Leonardo at the bottom of the stairs while one of his men assisted him on getting down the stairs . My eyes left them and landed on the mountains covered in snow , it must be morning time because the fog was still covering some of the mountains.
" It's a beaut , isn't it ?" Leonardo said from behind me, scaring me a little .
" It is , it's breathtaking ." I said smiling turning to look at him.
" Get in the car before you catch a cold ." he said putting his hand on the lower part of my back and guiding me to the car .
"Thank you. " I said to the man that held the door open for us and he gave me a head nod . I entered the car and I instantly groaned , do their cars also have to be freezing ? Leonardo shortly joined me and the man closed the door .
" What time is it ?" I asked Leonardo as he sat beside me.
" It's 6 AM in the morning ." he said adjusting his seat before leaning back and closing his eyes. I nodded as if he can see me before pulling my jacket tighter around me in attempt to get warm while rocking back and forth.
" You should get some sleep , it's a 3 hour drive to the cabin." he said with his eyes still closed and his face facing the window . I groaned at the thought of being in this freezing car for 3 hours .
" Come here ." he said with one of his arms open for me.
" Come... where ? " I asked and he patted his lap.
" It's okay I'm per--" he cut me off
" Amanda." he said sternly and that my friends is what caused the oversized butterflies in my stomach to escape the cage .
Without saying anything I scooted closer to him and laid my head on one of his thighs, putting my feet up. He put his hand through my braids and scratched my scalp gently, a small smile creeped up my face .
" thank you ." I said but it came out more as a whisper because I was starting to get drowsy .
"Anything ."

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.
