Mabel's POVLater in the day ....I exhaled deeply as I walked into my office , I already settled things with my parents and now I feel, I don't know better maybe,.I didn't tell them about Diane , I couldn't bring myself to tell them after all she's their daughter too and I'm sure it'll beak their hearts.Especially Mom because she has always been in support of Diane.I hope I get to make things better before it's too late, they'll find out at the right time I'm sure."Where have you been ?!" I heard dwayne asked and I looked up to see him walking into the office."Heyy" I said in greeting as I walked to my seat."I haven't been around I just came in " I said."I know , that's why I'm asking where have you been ?!" He replied."Are you for real?!" I asked scrunching up my nose and he inturn raised his eyes brows at me."Okay fine , I was at my Parent's place " I said."Hmm , parent interesting ,""It's no longer Mrs Baker or Diane's Mom" he said."Yeah , we kind of settled things alr
Mabel's POV5:00 pm ...Outside the hospital ... I parked in front of the hospital, turned off the ignition and turned to look at Dwayne beside me.He looked really nervous and anxious, deep down inside both of us , we don't want to accept it yet but we know Damon is right .I'm just gonna let him do this if it's what he wants to do , regardless I know his love for the boy will never change , my main concern is what he'll do to his mother .I know he doesn't want to tell me but I'm sure if he confirms this he's gonna make some rash decision, Dwayne is quite good at that."Are you ready?!" I asked as I placed my hands on his and gave him a small squeeze , he gave a small nod and I muttered an okay as we stepped out of the car."I guess I'm doing this " he said as I came to stand beside him and we stared at the building."You are " I exhaled, he turned to look at me , reached for my hands and we walked into the hospital.We walked upstairs to meet the doctor, Dwayne had called prior to
Dwayne's POV8:00 pm ..."Dad " I heard Dante call immediately I walked into the house .He was seated in the living room with his legs folded on the chair and his laptop in front of him.He stood up and walked towards me ,"Dad are you okay ?!" He asked ,"You look like you cried " he added and I sniffed with a small smile."My boy" I said and pulled him into a tight hug."No son, I wasn't crying" I whispered."Okay this is awkward" he stuttered and I laughed as I let go of him."What's so awkward about a father hugging his son" I said."You seem really emotional, what's going on" he asked again."Nothing trust me , what are you still doing up, you have school tomorrow remember?!" I said trying to change the topic."I was waiting up for you, " he replied and I nodded with a smile."You don't have to be worried about me" he said."I overheard mom ranting to herself in the room and I think she was blaming someone about it""I just wanted to confirm from you if it wasn't Zahra's Mom you

Does this mean everyone has gone to bed ,at eight?! Without me at home ?!."Hey Watsup" I heard Michelle say and I turned towards the dinning to see her seating there with Amie."What are you guys doing here ?!" I asked , moving closer to them ."We were just talking while waiting for you" she answered."She's cool though" she added referring to Amie and I raised my brows taking a seat also."Yeah I know , I tend to have that effect on people" Amie said smiling and I turned to her with a knowing look."Right!""I know you still don't trust me but I mean no harm seriously" Amie said ."Yeah I don't know if I should trust you but I'm willing to give it a try , I hope I'm wrong" I said whispering the last part."You're defini
Mabel's POV"Mom!!" "I'm really sorry that you went through all of that " she said and I smiled."It's actually okay , you don't have to be sad , what is gone is gone " I said and she nodded slowly."I can't believe Dante's Mom would do such a thing" "Desperate people do desperate things " I said."But I should tell you , please don't take this out on Dante ,""The heart break is gonna be too much on him" "His mom didn't consider I was innocent before she pushed you into water !" She said raising her voice a little bit high."Then doing the same to an innocent boy , makes you just like her !" I said."Revenge has never made anyone feel better and it will never make anyone feel better even if you're on the right side !""I almost became that person , I came here not because of justice but because of revenge""It almost darkened my heart but thank God for you dad , he was able to make me see the light again!""I walked down that path of bitterness for fourteen year but I won't let yo

Mabel's POV11:00 am ..."She has been asleep for so long, are you sure she's gonna be fine " I whispered walking up to the doctor."She will be , I specifically told you guys not to force her to remember, it'll all come back gradually" he said."We didn't force her , I just asked if she wanted pancakes and she grabbed her head" "It's alright, she'll be fine " he said and I nodded and walked back to stand beside Dwayne by her bed."I should get going to the hospital now , " he said and we nodded , Michelle escorted him out.Dwayne slowly reached out to me and wrapped his hands around my waist , I moved closer to him and rested my head on his chest.We just stood there like that staring at her."You should go to the office , I'll stay with her " I said to Dwayne after a while."I want to be here , when she wakes up" he said and I nodded."Dwayne ?!"

I heard her call as I was about going upstairs."Good morning" I replied shortly."Dwayne please wait , let's talk " she said coming to stand in front of me."Diane , I have somewhere to be at don't stress me !" I snapped"You're going to be with Mabel?!""Look Diane you and I , we're done!" "It's only a matter of time before I serve you divorce papers" "The only reas

I hope and prayed she's here because I've had too many stress for today. "She's in the waiting room, we delayed her there !" He replied. "Thank you so much" I whispered and we quickly dashed there. Immediately we got into the room , we looked around and there she was with a shawl over her head and a sun glasses on, she kept on looking anxiously around like she could not wait to get the hell out of that place. The cops with me quickly walked out to her , he tapped her and immediately she turned to face him he pointed a gun at her, and everyone there with her broke out into light gasps .
