Chapter 3 Friends

Laying on the bed and gazing softly at the young guy, made me very calm and in pain. My arm that he raised was in an uncomfortable position but I just didn't have it in me to wake him up.

He was sleeping with a soft smile on his face but then he started thrashing! " Help me please! Mommy where are you? I'm all alone! Please save me

mommy!"

I tried soothing him with a soft hum of a song I don't remember and slowly he fell back into peaceful slumber.

Poor guy. He must be so lonely. Where are his parents? Did they die? Why is he being chased? As I was thinking about this, the door opened yet again. This time a tall sticking my handsome man walked in. He had guards following him and he looked nervous.

"Where is my son? Why did you …. Ummm… do you know my son Or I?" Looking at the heavily bandaged patient it was impossible to believe that it would kidnap my son. I can't even tell if it's a girl or boy with all that bandage. Did the guards have the wrong room?

"Excuse me, are you this little guy's dad?" With that the patient tried to lift up the blanket with its uninjured hand. By the voice, which was so pleasant to hear, I could tell it was a girl. Seeing her struggle to lift up the blanket, I helped her and saw my son sleeping peacefully next to her. He had such a comfortable look about him with his arms around this girl.

" yes that is my son, Seth. How did he get here? Are you ok? He is not causing you any pain? Oh sorry. I'm Jake Black. You are?"

"Hey Jake. Seth is good. I do feel a little uncomfortable but don't wake him. He was so scared earlier. They call me Aria, because I just woke up from coma today and don't remember anything else."

"Seth ran in my room because he was chased by a woman and her guards. She was a mean girl who frightened him a lot. He shook under the blanket when she came in and then was sent out by dr Tyler and the nurse. The last thing he said was, " Help, they are trying to kidnap me to get money!"

Jake sat down on a chair and thought about who it was who chased his son. He appreciated that this woman was able to help his son and by her explanation it didn't seem that she knew who they were.

"Thank you for helping my son. Would you mind if I wait here until he wakes up? Can I get you anything to eat?"

"Oh no, I'm good. I have to wait for the nurse to come back to take me to get some tests done. He can stay until then. "

Hmmmm…

Not sure what to say now…. "Uhh… so have you been here long? "

"I just woke up from coma. I don't really know anything now. My Doctor, Dr Tyler, gave me a temporary name of Aria. My face took the brunt of the accident so don't know what exactly I look like now nor do I remember what it looked like before. I'm just glad my first guest was this cutie."

Looking down, I notice that Seth woke up and is just staring at me . He has such big beautiful blue eyes that are fringed with long black lashes. His face a rosy tint to it. Now I'm scared he will be frightened of me.

"Hey sleepy head. How do you feel?"

"I'm good. Thank you for letting me stay here…" Seth blinks and shies away with a cute smile.

Looking around the room, Seth sees Jake. "Daddy! You found me!! That crazy woman came for me again! She wanted me to go with her so that she could force you to meet her. Daddy get rid of Shana! She's crazy! " Seth looks accusingly at Jake putting him in this situation.

Jake stands up and cuddles Seth in his arms. "Sorry buddy. I will have her stop. Dean, stop all communication with Harrison and Co. As of now." Dean, his assistant steps in and immediately makes the call.

Seth looks at Aria. "Miss, I'm sorry for jumping in your bed and for falling asleep. If I caused you any pain please forgive me."

My heart starting beating fast at this cuties adult behavior. "Awe cutie, no worries! Glad I can help! My name is Aria. Sorry if I look scary now… hopefully I'll be better soon."

" your not scary! You look like a mummy but not scary. Are you ok? Can we be friends?"

" If it's ok with your dad, then yes we can be friends! Lol… I feel like a Mummy! "

"Aria, time for your tests!" The nurse ame in and was surprised to people inside. "Aria, are they your family? "

"Ahh no. Just friends I just made. Guys, sorry hit I have to leave. I'll see you later! Be safe cutie!"

I felt bad leaving Seth but was glad Jake was here.

With a wave, I was pushed out of the room.

"Dad, can I be friends with Aria? She seems to be all alone and I really like her! Please dad!"

"Hey Seth, let's go now and talk later. Dean, please send some flowers and snacks for Aria. Also look into her and find out who she is. No chances with Seth. Before making friends we need to know if she knows who we are."
