Just The Beginning ?
Episode thirty
Vee
Am so tense and scared as to what the doctor is going to say. Am praying silently on the way to the doctor office and my stomach suddenly feels cold. My heart beat increases with every step I take and am glad that Rita is by my side, other wise, am not sure I’ll be able to even walk right now.
” Vee, ” Mike calls out walking towards us with Nick following from behind.
” How’s Maya? ” Nick asks.
” We are actually on our way to the doctors office to find out. ”
” Okay, let’s go. But wait, what is this guy doing here? Is he bothering you vee? ” Mike asks glaring at Alex.
Why the he..ll is he so possessive?!
” Now is not the time for this, ” Alex tells him with a bored expression and for the first time, I actually agree with him.
” Yes Mike, don’t do this here, ” Nick adds as we continue our journey to the doctors office.
” Come on in, ” the doctor says after we knock softly and we enter taking our seats.
” How’s my sister, ” I ask my voice shaky while Rita, who is seated next to me, holds my trembling hands.
” Am sorry to say this but she hasn’t shown any signs of improvement yet and we are not sure when or if she’ll wake up from the coma, ” he says and my heart drops to my stomach.
Tears are streaming down my face and am unable to speak.
I feel……. Wait, I actually don’t feel anything! My whole body is numb and am not even sure if am still alive.
” Isn’t there anything we can do, “Rita asks and I can tell she’s crying by her tone.
” We’ve done everything we can now and only a miracle can save her. We are going to keep observing her and she can’t have any visitors for the time being. ”
” But, i need to see her, ” I finally find my voice. ” Maybe if I talk to her ,she’ll fight more to survive. She’s always been a fighter and I won’t let her give up, ” I say standing up.
” Am sorry but we can’t permit any visitors today, but you can surely visit her first thing tomorrow. Believe me, it’s for her own good, ” the doctor says and I slowly sit back down, wishing that this is all a fucking nightmare!
She has to live. What am I supposed to do without her?!
” Hey, ” Nick says squatting next to me. ” she’s going to be fine. ”
” I really hope so Nick. I can’t loose her. How am supposed to live without her, ” I say breaking down. Nick moves closer, hugging me tightly against him, rubbing my back and I cry my heart out letting go of all the pain that I feel inside.
I haven’t cried like this since my parents died and I can’t control myself anymore. I’ve always tried to be strong but this is way to much for me to handle. Am so exhausted from trying to be strong and I feel so torn apart and broken right now.
Haven’t I lost enough already?!
Am watching my whole world fall apart and all I can do is stare blankly.
” Am more than sure that Maya is going to be fine vee. Lets get going, you need to rest, “Nick says carefully lifting me up and we all walk out of the office.
” Alex, would you please take vee home, ” Rita asks.
” Am not going anywhere. I can’t leave Maya alone.”
” She won’t be alone ,I’ll be right here with her, ” Rita insists.
” Am sorry but am not leaving, ” I say shaking my head. ” You should be the one to go. You went through a lot yesterday and haven’t had any rest yet. ”
” You both need to rest ,” Alex says. ” I’ll take you home. ”
” Am not going anywhere with you Alex. I don’t want to be a bother. ”
” Come on vee, we already talked about this. ” That’s Rita.
” I know and I never agreed to it. ”
” Okay then, you can come to my place. You know you are always welcomed, ” Nick says smiling lightly.
” I can’t. What if Chloe gets the wrong picture. I don’t want to cause you any more problems. ”
” Is she always like this?I mean, so hard headed, ” Alex ask. “Look violet ,I’ll make sure your sister is well taken care of and if there’s any news you’ll be the first to know. You know Ava won’t rest unless you do, at least do it for her. ”
” Okay…. I’ll call a friend from work and ask if I can stay with her for a while.
I take out my phone and call Angie but her phone is switched off.
” Sht! Her phone is off. ”
” You can stay with me, ” Mike says. ” It will be more convenient for you since my place is not far from the hospital. ”
” That’s a great idea and please don’t say no to that? ” Nick says and I simply nod my head.
I don’t want to cause them any more problems since I know they are only looking out for me.
I leave with Mike a few minutes later, after everyone else has left.
” Wow! your place is quite something, ” I tell him as soon as we walk in.
I’ve never been here before and I never imagined that Mike lived in such an extravagant apartment. It’s huge and comfy, the colours warm and nicely blended. There’s no way the money he earns at the club pays for this.
” I know, right? ” He says with a smirk.
” How do you pay for this? ”
” Am actually a part time model, ” he says walking to the kitchen.
” I didn’t know that. ”
” There’s a lot about me you don’t know ,” he says opening his fridge.” Water? ”
” Yeah, sure. ”
He hands me a glass of water and I gulp it all in one go. I was really thirsty.
” You were really thirsty, huh? ” He asks and I nod. ” I bet you are hungry to but don’t worry I’ve ordered some fries .”
” Thanks but am not hungry. ”
” We are not arguing about this okay? There’s no way you are going to sleep on an empty stomach and who will take care of your sister if you die from hunger? ”
” Okay, daddy, ” I say rolling my eyes.
Mike only shakes his head and turns on the TV.
” Do you want to watch a movie? ”
” No, am good. ”
A few minutes later, the food is here and I dig in. Am not hungry but Mike is right. I have to take care of myself, for Maya.
” You are not hungry? ” I ask him stuffing my face with fries.
” Not for food, ” he says and I look at him confused.
” What does that mean? ”
” Nothing. ”
” Okay. ”
I go lay down in the coach as soon as am full. Am feeling kind of dizzy and nauseous and am not sure why.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t slept yet.
” Are you okay? ” Mike asks sitting opposite side of me.
” Just a little headache. ”
” So, what was that guy doing at the hospital? I thought you were enemies or something, ” Mike asks.
” What guy? ”
” Alex. ”
” Rita is his sister. ”
” So you are now friends because of that? ”
” What’s with all the questions Mike? Am really not in the mood to answer questions right now, ” I say touching my head.
” See how you are always rude to me when all I always do is try to help you!” he says angrily getting up and walking towards me.
” What is your problem? ” I say trying to stand but i fall right back on the couch. I feel so weak.
Whats happening to me?!
” Take it easy vee, ” Mike says sitting next to me and placing my legs on his lap. ” Let the drugs do their job. ”
Wait, what?!
” What drugs? ”
” Oh, I forgot to tell you that I drugged you,sorry. I guess it slipped my mind. ”
” What are you talking about? ” I ask trying to sit up but my head is so heavy!”
” You always take me for granted, even after I confessed my feelings for you. I always tried to do everything for you. I even defended you from that stupid guy Alex in the dressing room but instead of thanking me you made me look like a lunatic, in front of him, remember? ”
Fk! What did I get myself into?
” What are you planning to do to me? ”
” Nothing much, ” he says caressing my legs, going up. ” Just going to make you feel so good that you’ll beg me not to stop. ”
Oh God, not again!
” Mike please, don’t do this. ” I try to get away from him but I can’t seem to move any part of my body.
” Don’t worry, ” Mike says noticing my predicament. ” Everything will be fine in the morning. I can assure you that you won’t remember a thing. ”
His hand travel to my chest and he caresses them roughly. He stands, and is now on top of me, kssing and biting on my neck.
I try again but I still can’t move. Am so helpless as i lay there crying silently. I can’t believe am about to be rapped again!
” I’ll be right back baby, ” he whispers in my ear.” Let me go and get the be d ready for us, it’ll be more comfortable. ”
I watch him go up stairs and think of what to do before he comes back. I try to move my hand in my back pocket to reach for my phone but it’s so dmn hard!
