12 Chapter 12 - Victoria's POV

I woke up in an empty hospital room. I wasn't attached to any machines which was weird. No one was in the room with me either. It was weird. I got out of the bed and went to see if there was any clothes in the bathroom like before. There was a long sleeve top with a pair of leggings too. There wasn't any shoes or socks so I guess I was going barefoot. There was also some underwear so I quickly got dressed. I went out of the window again and followed the building around until I saw a swimming pool. This must be the back garden. There were fairy lights outside lighting up the swimming pool. I saw Annie on the edge of the pool with her feet in it. I walked over to her and sat next to her. "Hi." I said. She looked at me confused and surprised. "Your dead, I saw you dead in the hospital." She said to me. But I wasn't dead. I was here and alive. I choose the door that said live. I looked at her and explained what had happened to me. She explained that when the Moon Goddess visits you, she takes your spirit to her own realm. It means that it looks like your dead and they went through a similar situation with Leo a few months back. The Moon Goddess has the best timing according to Annie. She hugged me which really surprised me. She then dragged me upstairs and stood me outside of Leo's room. I couldn't face him, not yet. I didn't even know what I would say to him. I mean maybe he has already moved on. I slowly backed away and Annie took the hint. She took me to her room and asked me what I wanted to watch and eat. We made some cupcakes and pancakes and then watched Disney movies. After a few hours, Tristian came up looking confused. He didn't notice that I was there and started to talk about how my body was missing. He said that he didn't want to tell Leo until he knew where I was. We started laughing and he turned around and saw me. Annie explained what had happened and he sat on the bed next to me. I moved away slightly. I still wasn't comfortable around guys. He took the hint and also moved away slightly. "Victoria, I know you've had a hard life, and that you probably don't want to talk to Leo, but you have to. You're his Forever and he will protect you, but you have to trust him and tell him what happened." He said looking me in the eyes. I was still unsure. Annie sat in front of me and said that I could stay in her room as long as I liked, as long as I told Leo that I was still alive. I nodded and went to see Leo.

I stood outside of his room for almost half an hour before I knocked on the door. I was so nervous and scared. What if he had another girl in there? Not that I would care really. For some reason, part of me did care and I hated it. I just needed to tell him I was alive, that was it. I fiddled with the ends of my sleeve until he opened the door. I didn't want to do this anymore. I was on the point of crying. I was so scared. What if he got angry at me? what if he hit me again? He opened the door and looked at me in shock. He told me that I was supposed to be dead and I explained I was with the Moon Goddess. He understood and hugged me. I tried to get free and he took the hint to let go. I told him that I would be with Annie and he looked hurt. I went back to Annie's room and Tristian smiled at me. I slept on the bay window and Annie told me that we needed to go shopping tomorrow. She promised me that everything was going to be ok.

I woke up around one in the afternoon. Annie was already up and had some food for me to eat. She left me to eat and get dressed into some of her clothes for now. After she told me to go straight down the stairs to the living room where they would be waiting. I took about half an hour to get ready. Annie told me that she would drive her car and the boys wold go in Leo's. Annie had five seat Toyota I think and Leo had a Range Rover. Annie put on the radio and sang along to the songs as she drove. The boys were always right behind us. We got to the shopping centre and it was very crowded. I stuck close to Annie the whole time and kept my head low. Annie took me to loads of different shops with clothes in, accessories, pillows, blankets, phones, laptops and finally food. Annie asked if I wanted to get my ears pierced and I nodded. I had always wanted to. That way I could wear ear rings and they always looked really pretty. We went to a ear piercing shop which Annie trusted. I sat on the seat and closed my eyes. Annie held my hand the whole time. It was worth it. I looked in the mirror and I loved the little diamonds in my ears. Annie then helped me pick out some more ear rings for any occasion. We meet the boys at the food court and they had all our other bags. They brought us burgers and they were so good. I had a strawberry milkshake with mine and it was worth every bite. I kept looking at the teddies in the shop window by the food court. I never had a teddy really. I had a few toys but they were to teach me what to do in the future. I had like a toy kitchen and a toy baby. Then I had lots of books. I sighed and carried on eating my chips. I needed to toilet after so me and Annie went whilst the boys stayed with the bags. When we got back we were all ready to go back to the castle. The boys put all of my bags in Leo's car and Annie's bags in her car. We got back and Leo took up my bags. He left me to unpack them. They were all going into his wardrobe and draws. I got everything I would need. Underwear, socks, vest tops, long sleeved tops, short sleeved tops, trainers, dolly shoes, slippers, hoodies, cardigans, and even a dressing grown, leggings, skirts, shorts and skinny jeans. I also got a new phone and laptop. Everything and anything I could need. I also got some books and pillows to put on the bay window with a couple of blankets too. Leo came in once I had finished unpacking and gave me a bag. "I wanted to say sorry for everything that I've done to you and promise to never hurt you again. I got you a present." He said and handed me the bag. In the bag was a white teddy rabbit with pink ears and nose. I got it out of the bag and it was so fluffy. I hugged it and instantly fell in love with it. I looked up to say thank you to Leo but he had already gone. I went downstairs to see if he was there but he wasn't. Annie told me she was going to sleep and I said I was going to stay in Leo's room. I went to the bay window after having a shower and getting into pyjamas. I fell asleep looking at the moon rising. It was about half eight since we spent about five hours at the shopping centre.
