Chapter 24

HAYDEN’S POV

I picked the call and placed it on my ear. Brittany was still looking at me.

“Hello” I said my hands shaking slightly.

“She’s awake” The doctor said and I jumped off the bed.

Brittany seems startled as she got off the bed too.

“What’s wrong?” She asked hurriedly.

“I…need to go” I said.

“Go where? I don’t understand” she utters.

I didn’t answer her. I entered the closet and changed into a shirt and trouser. I rushed out of the room and went downstairs immediately.

The driver on seeing me walked up to me hurriedly. I didn’t need to tell him anything. He opened the door for me and got in the driver’s seat and drove off immediately.

The drive to the hospital was the longest in my life.

“Can you just speed up” I told the driver.

“It would be dangerous if I do so. We would soon get to the hospital” he said while I just nodded impatiently.

We finally got to the hospital and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I entered the hospital and met the doctor.

“Where is she?” Was the first thing I asked.

“Come with me” he told me and I followed behind him. He opened a door and I entered while I followed. She was lying on the bed her eyes closed.

I faced the doctor. “I thought you said…”

“Yes, she is awake but not fully awake. She fell into a deep sleep” he explained and I nodded.

“Can I have a moment alone with her please?” I requested and he nodded positively and left immediately.

I walked towards the bed and sat on the chair beside the bed.

“Mom” I said with a shaky voice. “I miss you so much” I confessed and sniffled trying my best not to cry.

A year ago, she insisted on a vacation to Canada. She was on my neck then always pestering me to get a girl and settle down but I didn’t want to. She got tired of asking and said she needed her space.

She left for Canada and spent 2 weeks there. On her way back, the plane crashed and luckily, her body and few others were found and taken to the hospital.

She was still alive, thankfully but she fell into coma immediately. Ever since then, she never showed any sign of waking up and I was slowly loosing hope.

I kept this from the news and I hope it continues to be a secret.

I held her hand.

“Mom, I want to hear your voice again. I know you are a strong woman. When I heard you have woken up, I…” my voice broke but I continued nevertheless.

“I was so happy and rushed here immediately.” I half smiled.

I tried removing my hand but her hand were holding mine. My eyes widened and I checked back at her face but it was still closed. I slept my hands there watching her.

THE NEXT MORNING.

I didn’t know when I fell asleep on the chair yesternight. I looked at my mom and her eyes are still closed. I brought out my phone to check the time. It was 7:15 and over 20 missed calls from Brittany.

I didn’t know if I should be shocked or happy. It would be the first time Brittany would call me.

I made to call her back but her call came in instead.

I picked and the first thing she said is.

“Where are you?”

“I am fine” I said.

“I asked where you are. You didn’t sleep at home yesternight, didn’t pick my call and…”

“I’m fine for real”

“But where are you?”

“The hospital” I replied.

“Doing what? You know what never mind, just tell me the hospital?”

“You should just go to school, okay?”

“Tell me the name of the hospital” she said and I can tell her voice sounded impatiently.

“Fine!” I told her and she ended the call.

I sighed and dropped the call. I left the room and went to the doctor’s office to have a talk with him.

20 minutes later,

Brittany called me and told me she is at the front of the hospital.

I went outside and she was beside one of my car she brought. Immediately she saw me, she ran over to me and touched my face. I was taken aback.

“I…just want to make sure you are fine” she said slowly looking at my face. We were so close to each other and I could feel my heart pounding hardly against my chest.

“Why didn’t you pick your calls? I was worried something bad might have happened” she pouted and started pun¢hing my chest. Her hands are soft and the punches were having no effect on me.

“You…were worried?” I asked to be sure.

She moved away from me. “Yeah. I would be if it were to be someone else” she looked away.

“Oh” I uttered.

“So what’s the issue? Why did you leave in an hurry yesterday’s night? And why are you in an hospital. Gosh! I have so many questions” she said.

“Why don’t we take a walk and I would explain to you” I suggested.

“Okay, good” she agreed.

We walked side by side our hands touching each other occasionally.

“It’s my mom, the plane she was in crashed a year ago and she fell into Coma a year ago”

“Your mom? Wow, I didn’t know she’s alive, sorry to say”

“People didn’t too. My dad died while I was in secondary school. It was tough for my mom and I. I have to do so many part time jobs to help myself and my mom. While my mates were partying and doing so many fun things teenagers do, I was working my ass off to get money”

Brittany stopped to look at me. “I didn’t imagine you had lived just a life before. Thought you were born with a silver spoon and have been rich ever since you were small”

“Why do you think so?”

“I just guessed. The internet never said anything about this”

“The internet doesn’t know everything. I give and show them what they want to know and they write it down”

“Well, that’s is true, back to your story?”

“You seem interested in it” I said.

“I am”

“After high school, I applied for a scholarship to my dream college, I got in and still worked part time. I finished college early enough. Age 20”

“Wow, how was college”

“It was…good. Going to classes and working and not really having time for myself. I…”

She interrupted me. “You said the internet doesn’t know everything. Never know what is really going on with your life. While in college, do you have any girl or should I say girls?”

“I never had a girlfriend” i simply said.

“Why?”

“I…don’t like girls, I supposed. Not like I’m gay or something but…” i stopped while she looked on curiously.

“So I’m like your first girlfriend? Wait hold on, we didn’t really date. I mean you never asked me out. Like you just…” She stopped talking.

“We got married”

“Just like that, yeah” she sighed. “Hayden” she called.

“Yeah?”

“Why did you marry me if you didn’t like “girls” “ she air quoted my words.

A question I have been avoiding.
