CHAPTER 31: THE COMA

Leo's Pov

I get up and run after the doctor.

Well, I try to.

It's hard to run with broken ribs.

"Where do you think you are going ?" Nat asks me with a stern expression.

She's so scary right now. Its kind of cute though. She's like really tiny and she's angrily humping around. She's pissed at my dumbass for landing into trouble over and over again.

It's kind of part of the whole package but she doesn't deserve the shit I give her. I smile at her which only makes her angrier and she smacks me on my hand and I pretend to get hurt which earns me a laugh from her.

"To see Mario's condition," I say, stating the obvious and answering her question before I got distracted.

"I will stay here only, " she thinks for a moment and says.

"Why? You can come" I ask her confused.

"I know but you could use some uncle-nephew time," she says.

"Okay, I will be back in a minute," I say and kiss her forehead.

I quickly rush and find the doc who came talking to another doc with a really serious expression.

What happened?

" Uh, excuse me, sir, can you please tell me what happened to Mario ?" I say bringing their attention to me and look at each other gulp.

They're acting like they committed a murder or something.

"Hi there. Well, your uncle is under a critical situation. Very critical "

Did he die?

"What happened ?" I ask them instead.

"He is in a coma and he can wake up now, five minutes later or 5 years later. We don't know ," he says grimly.

"That's sad," I say and start to move when I hear movement behind me.

"Nooooo!" I hear someone scream.

I turn around to see Alejandro.

What's he doing here and why is he everywhere?

Shouldn't he be in a surgery right now or something?

He looks deranged as he approaches me. The doctor covers behind me and I try to figure out what the fuck is going on.

Alejandro looks as though he might hold me up by my collar and bash my head against the wall.

If only he were that powerful or even had the guts to do it, too bad he doesn't.

"Its all your fucking fault Leo! All yours !" he screams at me.

Here we go again.

"Can we stop making a scene here, please? Nurse, please take him to his ward ," the doctor says and motions the nurse to come forward and she looks a little scared.

I glare at Alejandro and leave.

At least Mario's not dead. But a coma is worse I guess.

I don't really know.

As I am about to reach my ward someone crashes into me.

"Watch it !" I grunt out in pain.

"Leo! Oh shit, I am so sorry. I heard a scream and I thought it was you soo I decided to come but then I crashed into you. I am soo sorry. Are you hurt anywhere? Should I call the doc--? "says the person who crashes into me and I look up to find Nat.

My anger goes away as if it never surfaced and I smile at her and she looks at me in a confused manner.

" Shh stop panicking, " I say and laugh.

"How can you laugh right now ??" she asks.

" You can make me smile in any situation, Nat "

"Did I ever tell you that you're one of the cringiest people I have ever met? Even more weirdly, I love it?" she asks me in a playful manner and I laugh.

"Your looks give it away," I say and she rolls her eyes at me.

"Hmmm," she says and kisses the bridge of my nose.

"So what happened to Mario ?"

"He is in a coma," I grimly say and she nods her head.

"He is in a coma," I grimly say and she nods her head.

"Comma, shit that's bad. I hope he'll be alright pretty soon," she says and tries to reassure me.

"It's fine I guess, atleast he's not well you know-

"Dead, yeah I get it. He'll be fine, don't worry. He's made of thick skin," she says and hugs me.

I arch an eyebrow at her 'he's made of thick skin' response and get reminded when Marco said something about her.

Is she really-

"Come on, let's get you out of here," Nat says and pulls me out of there.

Nat's Pov

Mario is in a coma???

Oh shit.

I don't know what I am feeling right now.

It's like I am happy he won't remember me but also sad.

I'm sad because Leo is kind of sad but mostly I don't care cause the sooner he dies, the better it is.

What is wrong with me ??

"Hey, everything alright in there ??" Leo asks me and pokes my forehead.

"Yeah,"

" Are you ok Leo ?" I ask him .

"Me ? I am glad he is not dead . After all, he had to pay for killing Luca you know,"

Yeah, I feel the same.

Luca.

Everytime someone said his name , I felt really guilty and felt like killing myself .

Not anymore though.

Somewhere along the line, I stopped blaming myself.

Guess it happened when Leo came around.

"Yeah, when can we get out of here ?" I ask him .

Hospitals make me uncomfortable.

"I don't know . Let me ask the nurse ."

"You stay here. I will go " I say.

"Excuse me, ma'am, when can he be discharged ?" I ask the nurse.

"As soon as we apply all the medicines in about 5 minutes," she replies with a polite smile.

"Okay, thank you," I say and smile at her.

Suddenly a thought crosses my mind .

"Miss , is there anyone named Nick or Marco staying here ?"

"Nick or Marco? I don't think so," she replies after checking her register.

"Thanks again " I smile and leave.

"Leo? "

"Hmm?"

" Where is Marco staying ?"

"How am I supposed to know that ?" he snaps at me.

"Sorry," I say and roll my eyes at his back.

"I'm sorry," he says.

"No, I get it but you just have to understand that all of this is not my fault," I say politely.

"Yes I know and I'm sorry," he says and I smile at him.

"Let's go home now," I say and he smiles back at me.
