Bloody Eyes
|Bab 13|
After spending the afternoon arranging the entire room for Max, they flopped on Luana's bed in defeat. It was a marathon. But at least it's worth it. Everything's perfect. The final answer to come is from the boy who raises an uncertain opinion. Will he accept? What if he'd rather go back to where he came from? You cannot guess the mind of a child, especially if it contains a difficult temperament, like all vampire children.
Luana looked at the ceiling and tried to calm her heart, her euphoria and everything else that made her uneasy. The world feels like a thousand or it could be itself. He doesn't know how to express it. Feelings are a difficult thing to deal with. They are perplexing even if powerless to our souls. For the feeling there is no expression that matches it or the words that limit it. They are felt and cannot be expressed clearly. Each feels differently. And Luana sometimes doesn't know how to express it. It's like a lump that forms in the throat and doesn't want to come off. He got up and felt Daniela's gaze follow him. He changed his robe and turned to his partner after a long sigh.
- We will? _ Luana spoke insecurely.
- We will! _ Said Dani woke up with enthusiasm and gave more security to his friend.

Luana was so anxious that she didn't even go to her office to pick up her lab coat: she headed straight for the elevator to the fourth floor with Daniela by her side. The world seems to be spinning wildly. Stomach's nauseous. Everything seems completely out of control. But what if they find out that Luana took the boy for herself? If they call him a kidnapper in the middle of a mistake? He did it willingly. He just wanted to help the boy. Seeing him back on the road, cold and hungry was already creepy just to imagine. Taking a deep breath, the two left the elevator.
"Are you ready, Lun?" _ Ask Daniela holding her friend's hand.
- No. What if he doesn't accept it? _ Lua said agitatedly while shaking Dani's hand.
- Give positivity! Everything's gonna be okay! _he smiled trying to get through the security while trying to calm himself down.
Taking a long, worried step, they approached the bedroom door, when they were about to open it, a nurse opened it, smiling when she saw Luana.
— Doc! Glad it arrived! Everything is ready to order. Stop by the receptionist to sign the papers as soon as you leave here and if things are going well. Good luck! He smiled gently and left.
Luana was confused, she did not ask for anything. What's he talking about?
— Hahaha, calm the Moon! _ Dani said in an amused tone _ You don't want them to think you're the kidnapper, do you? So I sorted out the documents for you. That's lucky, because I see you don't even have time to think about it.
- Not even! Thank you Dani! If it wasn't for you in my life, I don't know what would happen to me!
Luana hugged him grateful to have him by her side. As soon as they entered the room, Max was sitting on the bed. He looked excited but nervous. Luna didn't know what to say. It seems to stop at the wrong time. He looked to Dani for help. What's there to say? In return, he only got an agreeable nod that seemed to calm him down a bit. I even had the support of the hospital so why not? He took a deep breath and thought: "Everything will be fine!" He pressed his hand into his robe. I was sweating cold.
"I-I came to set you free Max!" _ he said approach and look at Dani, I don't think it will be so difficult. The boy's smile faded, seemingly having been surpassed by grief.
"I-I don't want to be laid off!" ’ he said in a choked voice.
— Max, you don't need to stay here! _ Daniela said _ We all know what you have my dear.
“K-everything?” The whole hospital? All m-world? _ The boy's brain seemed to have a thousand, a thousand and one self-formulated questions in just seconds.
"No Max!" _ Luana goes on to say _ The point is we both already know.
"Did you tell him?"
- No! _ said Lua pouting, already embarrassed by so many questions _He knows, just as I _ sat he tapped his feet impatiently to the floor, while Daniela leaned on the door frame.
"But why don't any of you care who I am?" If they were other people, they would even kill me. _The two girls looked at each other without knowing what to say.
“We feel we have to take care of you Max. That's it _ Dani said without any expression.
"How will they take care of me if they fire me?" _ the boy was really confused. Luana got up from her chair and approached.
“That's where the little is. I want to give you a home, I want to take you home. If you want and feel comfortable, of course! _ Lua flicked her finger impatiently and anxiously.
Max was silent for a long time, which made Luana a little desperate. It seemed like he would not accept it at all and the girl had already started to be disappointed. Heart and mind in chaos. The anxiety took over. Will he really leave?
