Another hour passed and there was no improvement in his condition. I was really worried now. I had no idea what more to do. I have prayed as much as possible. I couldn't do anything else. I wanted to cry but couldn't my tears had all dried up. I had Jake with me. We were soon joined by his adoptive parents. I tried to console them but I didn't know how. His mother was crying too. I wanted to cry with her too. It was more easy. I saw Jake giving them coffee and trying to give them strength. I felt his eyes getting glistened occasionally. There was a limit to his self control."My poor boy", said Linda."Don't cry pray for our Dane", said Tom."I wish God would take me in his place", said Linda."Stop talking nonsense. Nothing is going up happen to Dane scolded his father.." Linda he would hate to see you like this ", I said when I was able to speak." My dear boy. How happy he was when you visited us? I thought my son will be getting his happiness that was withheld from him", said Lin
I was silent the entire ride home. But that wouldn't stop from chattering my ears off. She was very excited that her daughter is finally home and here to stay. What she wished was that she could have my husband as well. I rolled my eyes. She also told me that she hoped Dane leaves me like a hot potato. It itched me to say that she was only going to lose her hope. I knew in my heart that Dane would forgive me. But our journey won't be easy. But we have come a long way. I have complete faith that we would go a long way.When I reached home I saw that the home was well maintained they also had a living in house keeper. So the things were not completely out of order. I always wondered how they will survive without me but they have managed to survive and thrive. I guess I'm not as important as I thought. If only they let me live my life peacefully. Instead they want to cause more drama in my life.We waited for the queen to grace us with her presence. I wonder what she has to say to me. Bu
I ran away from my home throwing away Ella who was trying to pin me down. I felt as if I couldn't breathe. I couldn't even imagine the stuff they were telling me to do. I would never ever leave Dane. We are going to face what ever will happen together. But she is making me to take the harder route. Hard didn't even define what I felt when I heard her suggest that I leave Dane. I felt like my whole world was breaking apart. I would never allow her to make decisions for me. We will fight Enzo together. I knew it. We will find a way to get through this. I know it won't be easy but still.I ran and took the first taxi I saw and uttered the name of the hospital. The guy gave me a weird look but took me to my destination. I paid him and walked to the hospital. When I reached the hospital I saw Jake standing with a cup of coffee. It was heart warming to see him stand guard for his best friend.."Hey", he said addressing me. I have him a weak smile in return."You survived", he said with an
"People were coming and going and no one was telling me something. What was happening? My mind was screaming and speaking of bad things that could happen. I was afraid that Dane is in danger. I knew it in my heart ever since the conversation with Heidi. It was still playing around my mind. She almost scared me saying that me being with Dane is going to kill him. I know that there is no other way for me to survive without Dane. I would die without Dane. Even if it is a few seconds I want to spend it with him. I knew the same goes for Dane.A nurse barged out looking desparate. I caught hold of her hands and she tried to get away but I kept my arms firm. She is not going to leave without an explanation. I knew that for sure."Tell me what is happening?", I ordered her."You don't have to worry. We have everything under control", she told me without looking in my eyes."I don't think so. Tell me the truth. I know something was wrong. Please tell me what is happening. I have a right to k
I was wearing a protective gear because I would apparently kill my husband by bringing in some infection. But I know Dane is strong enough to fight any infection that may come in his way. But they are not fighting him to his face. They are hiding somewhere and attacking Dane. I can't let those bastards win. I won't let them take my husband away from me. Even if I have to challenge the death itself. I would do it. I would travel to the end of the world to save him. My sister is wrong my presence is not ruining hus chance if living instead it is helping him.I know she wants Dane. But I couldn't give him over like I would do before. He is not a barbie doll Charlie got me in my third grade. That I would easily give up. This is my husband and no wife would surrender her husband willingly without a fight.I stayed there watching everything. I had asked the nurse on the things I have got to keep an eye out and she told me. She would come and check on Dane occasionally and so does Jake. He w
"What happened?", she asked me interested."I got a letter today. Enzo warned me that he would hurt Dane again. He already tried it. He send someone who messed up with Dane's oxygen cylinder", I told her.. "I warned you something like that would happen", she told me."I know I didn't listen to you earlier", I told her."And you slapped me bitch", she said.I winced when I heard my baby sister call me the b word. I guess I deserved."I'm very sorry for that", I told her."Are you just sorry or will you do something about it?", she asked me."I will definitely do something about it", I told her."I don't believe you", she told."Believe me Heidi. I have decided that I will leave Dane so that Enzo does the same instead of trying to hurt my Dane to get to me", I told her."Dane was never yours", said my sister."He wasn't yours either", I countered."Fine. When are you going?", she asked me. I could hear the joy in her calm voice."Soon", I answered her."How soon?", she asked me impatie
It was already nine. I had eaten only a little and drank no water at all. Being in this protective suit is making me sweaty and uncomfortable. I knew Jake didn't approve of me starving basically. He even offered to do it. But I politely declined. It is not that I don't trust him. It is just that I only believe in myself. It sounds like something that a control freak would say but trust me when I say this. I knew I had only limited time with Dane. Doctors told me that he is showing a large amount of improvement. It filled me with joy. But it also made me sad and nervous I soon had to leave.I take catnaps sometimes during the day. I get out of the protective gear at night and eat and drink as little as possible. Sometimes the nurse that confessed the truth to me stays while I visit the washroom. Other times Jake keeps watching Dane. Enzo is relentless I knew. He was only waiting for a lapse on our part and soon he would tear into our protective sphere. His parents visit sometimes and
"What is it Heidi?", I asked trying not to sound irritated."Why are you ignoring my texts?", she asked me straight forward."I wasn't. It is just that I have to be in a suit and be with Dane all the time", I tried. It is so hard to text when you are wearing a full body plastic gear. Plus she didn't say anything that is remotely encouraging in her texts."I wanted to know how Dane is doing?", she asked."Better", I said my voice clipped."So when is he going to wake up? Are you sure he will wake up some day?", she asked."Heidi how can you talk like that? He is going to be OK. He has been shot in the back. He needs time to recover", I told her."Are you sure about that? Maybe you don't want him to wake up because then you promised me that you will leave", said Heidi."What kind of a logic is that?", I asked my anger flared."Are you teaching me logic?", she asked me annoyed."No. I'm doing everything in my capacity to help Dane and so are the doctors. You need to be patient", I advice
