Why deceive me??
59. Confessing His Feelings

"Ronnie," I screamed her name before I could think of anything. I rushed to her and took her in my hands. She already blacked out by the time I could get a hold of her.

I gently carried her to the bed and lay her down. She was burning up and I felt alarmed sweep over me. I immediately picked up my phone and dialed my doctor's number. He picked at the first ring. "Hello, asshole. Why are you calling me this early morning?" He jokingly said.

"Jerry, to my house this moment, it's urgent," I said with alarm.

"Man, what's wrong?" Jerry asked.

I didn't want to reply to him so I hung up. Jerry knew better than to taste my patience. Jerry has been my family's doctor for a long time. It was more like inherited stuff. It was his grandfather to mine, then his father, and now me. I stayed close to her and silently prayed Jarry would arrive early. And in time also.

Damon's POV

I was still battling with my uneasiness as I waited for her to wake up when my phone rang. I picked it up with all urgency.

"Hey, where are you?" I said, frantically.

"Jeez man, calm down. I'm already at your door," Jerry replied and opened the door.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I saw Jerry carrying his medication box.

Jerry frowned on seeing the panic on my face.

"I need you to check up on her. Is there anything I need to get done?" I asked

"Damon, is she dead?" Jerry asked

I frowned. "Why would she be dead?"

"Then that's the point. As long as she isn't dead, then there's nothing to worry about," Jerry said and smiled, patting my shoulders.

"Just get it done quickly," I pleaded

"You look, bad man," He said and started his examination. After a few moments, he straightened up.

"What's up with her?" I asked, standing up with him.

"She is so damn stressed. Why is it so? Did you screw this one so hard?" He asked.

I smiled and slapped his shoulders. "Get your mind off naughty things for once,"

Jerry laughed. "Just kidding," He said and led Damon outside

"What?" I asked, knowing I wasn't just led outside for nothing.

"Seriously, why is she stressed?" Jerry asked.

"It's a long story," I said and sighed.

"Well, I'm just concerned about her. She's so damn tired and if I were you, I'll give her a bed rest of two weeks or more. Like what the hell did she do? She's also feverish. I left some drugs on the bedside shell take," Jerry stated. "Thanks," I said.

"Just doing my best. I just don't want to see my friend screwed," He said and smiled.

I smiled.

"You've got so much to tell me. Like who that damsel is, that made you call me this early? There's a lot of sh*ts I need to know," Jerry said and made his way downstairs.

"I'll call you then," I asked.

"Of course, you will," Jerry replied.

After Jerry left, I went to her room to see how she was. I sat down next to her, deep in thought. She hadn't taken anything since morning. I'm the cause of all these things happening to her. I held her hand and kissed it. "I'm sorry," I muttered.

RONNIE'S POV

"I'm sorry," I heard his voice in my head. I gently started opening my eyes and I saw him. I saw my hand so close to his lips. The devil. I immediately shut my eyes back, not giving him the chance to know I was up.

"I didn't know what came over me. I just did it based on instincts and anger," He continued.

Why was he saying these now? I would forgive him immediately after he asks for it. Damn him.

"I really shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have let my anger control me," He said.

Of course, he shouldn't have. He should have at least tell at me. Not making me walk a million miles before apologizing.

"The truth is, I care about you. I've been doing so since the day you stepped into my house. I love the way you crave food more than anything else, even your health couldn't beat it," he said again

Wait, I love food that much? Yeah, I love food but not as much as he said it. I would always think of my stomach before anything else. I would want to eat before I even take my drugs or go to the hospital. But if I was sick, like really sick, I'll want to get well first, well that is after I finish eating. Oh, I love food that much.

"I always thought I just card for you and nothing more, but seeing you like this, makes me realize I love you," He said.

My internal eyes widened. Did he love me? How come? I don't understand. He made me walk a long distance. How is that love? He must be insane.

"Remember the other day in my garden when my shapeshifted? I wanted you to move out of that cliff but you seemed afraid of me and all that. I didn't want to scare you that's why I didn't try to come any closer. I didn't want to lose you. And the other day you were kidnapped, it felt like hell. I can't stand a day without seeing you. I don't care what you are, who you are, or where you come from. I don't want to know. All I want to believe is I love you," He said, then kissed my hands. I felt my heart do a double flip. Can he stop saying that for once? When did all these unknown feelings grow? I can't allow him to fall in love with me. He's to be in love with Katie and not me. Well technically I'm Katie but what if the real Katie comes back? Do I have to leave him? Do I have to part ways with him and never see him again? Will he even notice if I'm not there again?
