Hours later:
… Valerie’s POV ..
“How is he? How did the operation went?” Mom asked.
Jojo and his friends asked.
Benita asked.
Everyone asked.
I couldn’t answer them.
I’m just too shocked.
My hands shook there.
Thanks to Dr Funmi and Eva.
The bullet had been removed but he’s unconsious.
I know he’s gonna wake up because the dead target was missed but im just battered in scaring thoughts.
What if he doesn’t wake up?
How could Iyke be so cruel and heartless to do this?
“Valerie, you are not saying anything to us?” My mom said with a worried look
Just then Eva came out, followed by Dr. Funmi.
“Eva.. Dr. Fumni.” Mom went over to then.
“The bullet had been removed. It really missed its target and that is to assure you that he’ll wake up soonest. He’s fine.” Dr. Funmi told her or rather, them.
Eva nodded with him.
“Oh thank God. That Iyke of a guy is a dev!l.” Mom said.
She suprised me.
She suprised me when I called her to tell her that my friend had been shot by Iyke. Not just my friend but someone I’ve fallen deeply inlove with.
She rushed down to thehospital, shocked and worried.
I guess because she hates Iyke.
I blinked as tears rolled down my eyes.
Dr. Funmi patted me on the shoulder before walking away.
I turned and walked into the room where Joy is.
The machine beeped softly as his coma breath made slow sounds.
I stared at him as he is dressed in the patients gown of ‘blue colour’
Laying helplessly on the coma bed with bandages wrapped around his abdomen to his back.
“Joy. I’m sorry.” I said.
“Vale.” Eva called gently as I felt her hand around my shoulder.
“Eva.. I can’t believe Iyke could do this. If only I didn’t leave him at home. If only I knew something like this was comng.” I blinked as more tears rolled down my eyes.
I could see tears in Eva’s eyes too.
“Vale let’s just pray that he wakes up before tomorrow ends. Let’s pray.” She said.
I sniffled, “I know he will. I trust that he will. I can’t loose him.” I said.
“You need to be grateful to those guys. They said they sighted Iyke when he was coming to your house and recalling he was the same guy who knelt down and was apologising to you one certain night which you took his car.. They detected that something isn’t right, so they decided to spy and that was how they caught him.” Eva said.
I sniffled.
“I know them. I once saved Joy from their hands when they were beating him.” I said.
“Iyke is in police custody now.” She said.
“I’ll make sure he is sentence to death by gun shot!” I cried.
“Shhh Let’s go.”
“No. I’ll stay here and watch him till he wakes up.” I said.
“Vale…”
“I’m not leaving him alone here.” I said.
“Vale you are a doctor and you should know how to handle this.” She said.
“I know how to Eva and that is staying by him, watch him till he wakes up.” I said.
She sighed, then patted my shoulder before walking out.
I closed my eyes with the tears rolling down my eyes.
“Dear Father, I plead to you, help me, Save Joy. He means alot to me. Wake him up for me Dear heavenly Father.”
A hand on my shoulder caused me to open my eyes.
Mom
“I’ve called your brother and he said he’ll shift his flight down to next tomorrow instead of tuesday next week. I don’t know who this boy laying there is, but I feel a connection between us.” She said.
“I love him mom. I love him so much. I saved him last week ago and he’s been in my house.
After Iyke broke my heart, I began having feelings for him cos he’s so funny and cool and caring, even though he’s an adultbaby mom but his mannners make him appear so amazing and adorable. Mom I can’t loose Joy. He have to wake up.” I cried.
She pulled me into a hug.
“It’s okay. He’ll wake up.” She said.
I blinked and cried on her shoulder.

I couldn’t leave him…
I was gonna stay with him all through.
Benita offered to stay but I told her to go home with mom.
Eva went home aftee staying for awhile.

Eleven O’clock pm.
I sat on a back-seat just close to Joy’s bed and watched him.
I just want to see when he’ll move his fingers, open his eyes and smile at me.
Just that cute childish way he use to.
I’ll kss him with so much excitement and promise him never to leave him alone all by himself again.
But as the time passed, nothing like that happened.
I felt shattered.
Scared.
Broken.
Joy don’t wanna wake up. He’s really not feeling my presence.
I walked over to him and wgispered to hin.
“Joy, I need you to wake up. See I’ve got something really nice for you. It’s a suprise and you need to wake up so you can see what it is.. Pleaseeee.”
But hours passed and nothing happened.
