Amara's pov:

Two months.

Two months without hearing his voice, without feeling his touch. Two weeks without hearing any news about him.

I've tried calling him , calling Rhys and Marcus. No one answered. I told Nicolas to take me back to American, he refused. I've tried booking a flight, I did , but I got caught by his men.

I've been really worried about him. I don't know if he's okay or not , I do t know if he's dead or alive.

Until today , when I was watching a movie with the kids , trying to distract myself from what's going on. I got a phone call from an unknown number.

"Hello"

"Am I talking to Amara Salvatore ?"

"Yes"

"Your husband , Damien Salvatore has been shot. You're the only number we see in his files. He's in the emergency room now"

"W-what ? How ? When did that happen?". Tears were already on my cheek. The world was spinning. I could hear voices but I don't know what they're saying. My vision was blurry.

Every went black.

~~~

"Is she gonna be okay ?"

"Don't worry Sophie , she'll wake up soon"

I opened my eyes and looked around me. I was in my bed , with orange juice next to me.

"Oh Amara ! You're finally awake ! Here , drink this". Catherine handed me the cup , but I didn't drink. All I was thinking of is one thing.

"D-Damien- I want Damien !". I screamed wiggle tears pouring out of my eyes. Sophie started crying as soon as she heard my scream.

"Amara , he's okay ! Nicolas is in America now. He just texted me saying that Damien's in the surgery"

"I need to go now ! I want Damien !". I started throwing a tantrum like a child , but I didn't care , all I wanted was my husband.

"Calm down Amara ! You're scaring the poor kid !". I looked at Sophie who was crying in Mariano's lap. I walked to her and pulled his in a hug.

"I'm sorry , I'm so sorry baby. I didn't mean to scare you"

"I want Danny !"

"We'll go see him now okay ?". I culled her face in my hands , wiping her tears with my thump.

~~~

"The surgery was difficult, but luckily successful. However, might face some breathing issues after waking up , due to the fact that the bullet was shot in his right lung".

The doctor stated as I looked at Damien through the window. His face was pale. His body was connected to many wires.

"W-when will he wake up ?". I asked the doctor. My hands are shaking from worry.

"This depends on his body. He'll wake up when his body gets enough energy from the drip"

"Thank you doctor". Rhys said. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me back to my chair. I sat on it and relaxed my muscles.

"He'll be okay , don't worry". Marcus reassured me , with sleeping Sophie on his lap.

"I want to call mama"

"Sure. Here's my phone". Rhys handed me his phone. I typed mama's number and put the phone against my ear.

"Hello ?"

"Hey mama. It's me , Amara"

"Oh Amara baby ! Are you okay ? Why do you sound like crying?"

"Mama , Damien has been shot. He just got out of surgery, and now he's in ICU room. Mama , I don't want to lose him"

"Oh sweetheart , send me your location, I'll come to you now"

"Okay"

~~~

Mama , Jake , and James arrived at the hospital. My father didn't come due to the 'important meeting' he had. Marcus took Sophie to his house , so she can sleep in a more comfortable place. And to my surprise, Delaney was here too.

While we're sitting in the chairs next to Damien's room , we heard beeping noises coming from the room. Doctored and nurses started running to his room. Which made us all freak out.

"What's going on ?!" . Rhys asked the nurse , but she ignored him and ran in the room.

"Someone fucking tell me what's happening !!". I screamed , throwing my fists on the window. There were many feelings in that moment, anger , fear , worry , frustration, and the list goes on.

After what felt like years, a nurse finally came out to inform us about Damien.

"He's in a coma , I'm sorry"

He's in a coma

My love is in a coma

I can't talk to him

I can't hear his voice

I can't look at his beautiful eyes

No , this can't be real

He can't just leave me like that and doesn't tell me when he'll wake up

"N-no , no ! You're lying! He's not leaving me ! He can't do that !". I screamed at the nurse. She looked at me with anger then walked away.

"DINT FUCKING WALK AWAY ! TELL ME THE TRUTH YOU LIER !". I was about to follow her but an arm was wrapped around me , holding me back.

"Shh , it's okay. He's gonna be fine". Rhys said as he pulled me in his chest. I sobbed harder and hated every second. I felt his tears on my shoulders.

"He'll leave without knowing that I love him. He can't leave me Rhys , he fucking can't !!". I shouted as he held me tighter.

"I know , I know. It's okay , just breathe"

~~~

He's not leaving. He's not leaving. He's not leaving. He's not leaving.

I sat on the bench in the hospital garden. I needed some time alone. Since the doctor didn't allow us in Damien's room until tomorrow morning.

I rested my back and legs. All I was thinking about is Damien. Nothing matters to me anymore.

He may leave without knowing my live for him. Without giving me a small version of him. Without taking me to my dream country. Without-

"Hello". A little boy interrupted my thoughts. He was all alone , without a nurse or anyone. I also noticed that his sits in a wheelchair, and one of his legs is amputated.

"H-hi". I mumbled, not having any energy to talk.

"I'm Damien , what's your name ?"

Damien

"A-Amara". My eyes tears up as I hear his name.

"Wow , your name is beautiful. Why are you crying ?"

"M-my husband is in coma". My eyes exploded with tears.

"What's that ?"

"He's in a very long sleep , and I don't know when he'll wake up"

"Oh that's a good thing! He can take some rest !"

"Mhm". I said with a shaky smile. I don't want to make this kid sad.

"You know , my leg is gone because we had a car accident. Mommy is not with us anymore and sissy in really sick. But you know what mommy used to tell me ? To be happy no matter what. Because being happy is good but sad , it's bad"

"She's right". I said , trying to stop my tears.

"Don't cry. Beautiful girls don't cry !". He giggled , making me chuckle.

"Damien ! I've been searching for you ! You scared me little guy !". A nurse approached us and tickled Damien.

"I'm sorry if he bothered you , he always does that to strangers"

"No it's okay , he didn't bother me"

"Come one Damie , let's go eat lunch". The nurse said , pushing Damien's wheelchair.

"Okay , bye Amara !"

"Bye"

~~~

"Here , I got you this from the cafe. It's your favorite sandwich". Delaney put a sandwich on my lap. I don't want to eat , I have no appetite.

"Come on Amara , you haven't eaten all day"

"I don't want to. Leave me alone".

"Babe , I know what you're feeling. The same thing happened to me with my father. And now look , he's all good ! And the same thing will happen to you and Damien , he'll wake up and be by your side soon. We just have to wait"

"But I don't want to wait , I want him now". I looked at her with blurry vision, knowing I'll start crying again.

"We can't get what we want without patience. We wait and wait till we get it. And that what we're gonna do , got it ?"

"Mhm"
