Jane screamed as she walked, more like ran into the nurse's room of the Melody Memorial Hospital startling her co-nurses." what is it this time Jane?" asked Nathan. he sure was used to her dramatic ways already. Jane rolled her eyes as she sat down heavily."Well good afternoon everyone, I have got news," she said."what is it"? asked Laura." oh hi Laura didn't know I will see you here today, I thought it was your week off"?"yeah"Laura answered. She was supposed to be off until next week but Sylvia had called her just this morning to ask her to replace her for the week. Laura had wanted to tell her no as she had planned her week off, she had wanted to go spoil herself a little since it has been a while she's done that. but Sylvia had sounded so desperate that she had not been able to tell her no. "Laura" Jane called breaking Laura from her thoughts."yeah I am working for Slyvia, she had to travel home to see her parents."oh well okay"."what's the news you have"? Amira asked with interest. as she walked to the door. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Devon, is in the building" Jane said with much excitement."Oh my God! really? asked Tasha who has been silent the whole time. "yeah" answered Jane "he was admitted in the early hours of today. he got involved in an accident"." Wow, that's sad"Amira said her hand on the door." as much as I will like to hear this gist, I have got to go I am babysitting my sister's kids. See y'all tomorrow". she said and left. "Oh no, I hope he is not hurt much"? Tasha asked with concern."I don't know much about how severe it is yet," Jane said."I should go kiss him better" Tasha added with a smile laced with genuine concern."you silly girl, you go nowhere, he is mine Jane argued.As the two ladies were debating on who knows Devon more and who deserves to claim ownership, Laura was wondering who Devon was in the first place. she didn't want to ask but she did anyway."who is Devon"?At her question, the room suddenly became silent. everyone was looking at her like she had just said something she should never have said. " Tell me you are joking Laura," Nathan said after a long silence."I am sure she is" answered, Jane"but then again it's Laura she might be telling the truth" she added. "well I don't know him that's why I am asking," Laura said.Admittedly, there are a lot of things Laura seems not to know about the outside world. she had stayed in the orphanage almost all her life even when she had turned 18 she didn't leave. until two years ago when she graduated from nursing school. her life had pretty much revolved around the sisters and other orphan kids in the orphanage where she grew. Laura didn't quite know much about her life before she came to live with the sisters. according to mother superior, they found her wandering around the street looking very hungry, unkempt, and frightened. she was just about three years old. She was brought to the orphanage home and it was supposed to be a temporary arrangement until her parents were found. unfortunately, they never found her parents. After two years in the orphanage, Laura had been put up for adoption a few times but no one seemed to want to take home an unusually quiet child. though she talks and communicates well with the sisters, she becomes quiet every time a couple who wants to adopt a kid picks interest in her. after a few failed attempts mother superior had concluded not to put her up again and allowed her to stay at the home till she becomes an adult. Laura had gone through nursery and high school at the local school close to the orphanage. when she had graduated high school, her mother superior had called her into her office and asked her what she would like to study in uni. she told her she wanted to become a nurse. Laura had gone to nursing school and when she graduated she had gotten a job at Melody memorial hospital.she had used both the money she saved up and the one given to her by her mother superior to rent an apartment. It took quite a while for her to get used to living outside the home she had known since she was little and two years later she is still trying to get used to it. she was way behind in things related to fashion, celebrities, and social media as she doesn't have much interest in such things"Devon is the hottest bachelor in town,"disclosed Tasha cutting Laura from her trains of thought."He is a singer, a very hot one. He is very famous and has fans in almost all countries of the world. And his super-rich too," explained Jane."Wow that's huge," Laura said though not interested."Yeah, huge Jane repeated." He is not that famous or big, he is just overhyped and overrated. His fans are mostly thirsty ladies and hormonal teenage girls." Nathan said with a bored face."Is that jealousy I perceive"?Asked Tasha sticking her nose up and moving close to Nathan. "Nope not jealousy or whatever, I am just stating a fact," Nathan said moving away from her and heading to the door."Well your facts lack originality, so it is irrelevant" put in Jane."Whatever you say, excuse me ladies I have got work to do. Nathan said as he exited the room." run along chicken" Jane called after him.Laura was tempted to leave with Nathan but her shift starts by 4 pm and there was nothing she could do until it's time for her shift because there was no much outpatient left."I just hope he is not hurt much," Tasha said moving back to the bed and sat down."I don't know much about it yet as they are trying to keep it away from the media. I asked the doctor in charge of him and all he said was that he sustained a leg injury that will take a while to heal". Disclosed Jane." oh no poor Devon, he has a tour coming up, he must be devastated." Put in Tasha.Laura wanted to say something but she didn't know what to say so she just kept shut. In the two years that she has been working at the hospital, she has learned all the small details about her coworkers. The ones she worked closely with. There's the head nurse Anna, a petite lady in her mid 40's. Anna is strict but nice. She is happily married and has two lovely kids. Amira is a pretty nice and easy-going girl who Is about the same age as Laura. Tasha may not seem all that friendly at the first glance but when one gets to know her she is very nice. Nathan and Jane are cousins, those two seem to bicker at any given opportunity.They live together in the same apartment and love each other even though they are always arguing. Sylvia who recently got engaged is the kind of girl who is friendly with everyone and is very sociable. She is the complete opposite of Laura. There are also consultants and doctors who she works alongside with too but she is not very close to everyone cuz she rarely engaged in conversations aside from those related to work. Except for a few occasions like this one when it's just her and her fellow nurses whom she is comfortable with. Well, that's until they start talking about social events involving trends celebrities, and fashions. She zones out most of the time. Laura took a break from her thoughts and was not surprised that the ladies were still talking about Devon."I think they broke up last month, so do not expect her to come," Jane said.That must be his girlfriend, or maybe ex going by what Jane just said, Laura thought."Man! I wish they were still together, I am a big fan of hers I love her fashion style and I follow her on I*, she is super gorgeous."Tasha said with a sad face."Well, it's not your lucky day, " Jane replied laughing."Sad but that also means he is single and ready to mingle," Tasha said, her expression shifting back to excitement."Young lady, you need to stand in line cuz there are lots of people who were there before you" Jane said getting up from her seat and heading to the door."You never did tell us what kind of accident he got into," Laura said out of nowhere."Oh true I didn't, according to the report sent, he had gone clubbing and might have had a little too much to drink cuz he fell from his staircase at home. Though doubt the authenticity of that report." Jane replied."Anyway, I have got to go my shift ended hours ago see you, ladies tomorrow," she said and left without waiting for a reply.The room became quiet when Jane left. Tasha laud back on the bed and closed her eyes. Laura rested her head on the table close to her and glanced at the wall clock. Just a few minutes till her shift, more like Sylvia's shift begins." You should browse more and get to know a few things about what is happening in our world today," Tasha said softly."I will try" Laura responded.Though she knew she might not. Those things do not interest her she didn't know why people pick interest in other people's lives and privacy. Social media is filled with different shitty articles most of which are unbelievable. Gossip Mills where celebrities lives are discussed. Faking people living a life of pretenses. She just couldn't bring herself to spend her day or time reading or browsing such things. Though she does research sometimes. No one knows yet she has not even told the sisters about it. But she is trying to locate her parent whether dead or alive she just want to at least know their faces. She had tried checking for any missing child report that occurred the year she was found, she even went as far as going to the location where she was found asking if any child was declared missing in the year 1999. But most people she had met were new to the town and have never heard of a missing child. So far her search has been unfruitful but she wasn't gonna give up because giving up has never been her style."Mark called while you were bathing, baby,""Oh really?""Yes, Eva just put to birth,""Oh my God! Really? That's so nice, a new baby, I love babies,"She said in excitement while dressing up."Yeah, me too, Susan and Sophia are next,""Yes, and Sylvia too but hers is still far away,""Wow, so many babies around, that's nice,"He replied, his thought, went back to the child he almost had, he has gotten over it but from time to time, he still felt the loss of the baby that was never there, he confronted Cleo and she told him that they never slept together that day, she made the whole thing up, he decided not to do anything to her so long as she stayed away from him and his affairs and so far for a long time, he had not seen her or heard from her, which was good, he liked his life now."Are you okay?"She asked coming close to him while buttoning her top."Yes I am fine, get dressed will you? Your dad is expecting us,""I am almost ready,"She replied with an eye roll, they were visitin
"I can't believe you gave me false hope Laura,"Tasha said in welcome when Laura entered the nurses' room that Monday, she looked really done, the others in the room were all looking at her."What are you talking about Tas?"She asked even though she knew what she was saying."You told me Devon owns the baby when you know they are not even pregnant in the first place, I hate you, and did you see the photos making around on the internet? I feel betrayed.""Leave the girl alone, if you attack her, how will she answer our questions?"Jane said pulling Tasha back."Yo! Laura, you finally arrived, you have a lot to answer to girl," Nathan said as he entered the room."What are you guys talking about?""Laura, there are photos on the internet, after the news that the alleged pregnancy was faked, the media wanted to hear Devon part of the story and someone tipped them off of his location I think and some photos of you and him are all over the internet," Sophia explained."What? What photos?
"It's so good to see you here Laura," Percy said hugging Laura as she entered the house, she had come unannounced she wanted to surprise her dad as she had not seen him since Christmas,"It's good to see you too, is my dad around?""Oh no, he went to the market in town, the boss came in three days and we are low on food supply,""What,? Devon is here? I thought he was in the city,""Yes, but he came in surprisingly three nights ago and he has been in a foul mood since, not coming out of his room, he just stays there, no one knows what happened to him, the boss might be a celebrity but he is very private too, I wish he can talk to someone, now that you are here you should help get him out, he needs to eat at least," Percy said and walked off without waiting for her response, she didn't know he would be here, she thought he would be in the city since that's where he has been staying for a while, she has been avoiding him, he called her a couple of time but she hadn't answered, hadn't r
Devon drove to a stop on his way to Clovers and parked his car by the roadside, he stood there for hours wondering how he could have been so stupid and trusting, this would not have happened if he had just had the sense to verify what Cleo had said, no he chose to believe her and look where that has landed him, he should have known not to trust her, she lied to him while they were still dating so what stopping her from lying again, he needed answers from her, he could go without finding those he got into his car and drove back to his house, he met her while she was moving her stuff she looked shocked to see him, the first thing he noticed was that she no longer had the baby bump,"You are back? I was just leaving" she said, she didn't even feel remorseful which made him angry all over again."I have a question Cleo did we really sleep together that night because till now I don't have any memory of that happening.""I don't have to answer that,""Oh you do because if you don't give me
"What? You are doubting me now?"She asked, getting up and walking away from him, which gave him even more reason to doubt her, she looked uncomfortable."I am not doubting you but the doctor said he carried out a scan to see if the baby was doing fine but nothing was seen and also he did a pregnancy test which turned out negative, forgive me for not trusting you Cleo but you just have to do the test and it will be clear because as it stands now I don't know what to believe.""I don't want to do a test, I am pregnant and you can see the baby bump, you saw the scan photos last week and that's enough proof,""No, that's not proof," he said getting annoyed. "That's not proof because I just realized that even though I go with you to your appointment you always make me do one thing or the other when its time to see your doctor and I only saw the picture but I wasn't there when the scan was done, neither did I see my baby, so if you don't mind going to the bathroom with me and peeing on a s
"Doctor, what did you just say?"Devon asked in confusion."Mr. Williams, I said that your girlfriend is not pregnant, no the test results came out negative,""Are you sure? Then why is her stomach getting bigger?"Devon asked in confusion, he was at the city hospital, he received a call earlier that Cleo had collapsed at a filming set, he had told her to stop or pause her activities or at least limit them but she had not listened and just kept doing what she liked, guess she was still angry over his decision not to rush into marrying her, she wanted them to get married before their child is born but he didn't want that and going by what the doctor just said there might not be a child in the first place, but that can't be possible because he had gone with her to two or three doctors appointment."That I can't explain now until I examine her again, we just did a few tests and also gave her some medications to revive her, more tests will be carried out when she finally is stable but fo
The days slowly turned into weeks and before long Laura returned to work and soon even the weeks turned into months, Christmas came by and went, she spent the holiday with her family, it was the best Christmas ever for her, she had a great time meeting her extended family, are aunties, uncles, grandparents, and cousins, she got used to been called Selena, the best part was the days she spent at her dad's house in Clovers, she had so much fun that at some point she had forgotten her heartbreak, that's a lie, she didn't forget, not even once, throughout everything she always remembered him, her thought always drift off to him, sometimes it hurt thinking about him and other times, it didn't he was in her head going to bed and waking up, she tried to avoid looking him up on the net to see what he was up to and when she did give in and checked on him, there wasn't much except the fact that he had an upcoming album, that was it, no news on the possible birth of a baby neither was there any
"So this is how it's gonna be?" She asked crying, he didn't know what to do with her tears didn't like it when he is the reason someone is crying but he couldn't promise her marriage either not when he knew he didn't love her and when he had some else in his heart if they got married they would both be unhappy, he just didn't know why she isn't seeing it like that, getting married cuz of a child is not it."I don't know what else to say to you Cleo, you just don't get it, I can't marry you, I am in love with someone else,""But you were in love with me once, we almost got married, remember? You can love me again, I am willing to wait until you love me again,"She said in a pleading voice, he sighed in tiredness, he had explained over and over again the reasons that he can't marry her but she seemed to be bent on marrying him."You know what, Cleo, can we give this some time, let's just see how this whole thing plays out, right now I am going through a lot, and getting married is not
"I am not gonna marry you, Cleo, I am not ready for marriage yet, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life in regret, we give birth to this child and just wait to see how far it goes, I didn't break up with Laura just so I can marry you, no, I just felt it was right since you were going to need all the help you can get and I don't want to miss out of anything for my child, also I don't want her to feel less, so if you think you have won then think again,"They were at her house, he had come to check up on her and she had brought up the topic of marriage, again for the hundred times, but his answer reminded the same, he wasn't going to marry her, not only for him but for her too, them getting married would be a big mistake, he has seen a lot of couples who married for love ending up getting a divorce not to talk of them, he couldn't do it."Well, if you don't marry me, then kiss goodbye to having a say in our child's life, I am not gonna settle for less,""I am not gonna have this
