He was bleeding...
A serious one as that. I panicked watching him lose so much blood.
I don't even know what to do,I can't drive neither do I talk to my neighbors, nothing occured to my mind other than to order a bolt which I did. All through our journey to the hospital I was secretly praying nothing should happen to him. What's this for at this time we're only getting to know our feelings. I felt so hurt inside. I can't really kowtow how much I felt really because it seems I'm going to loose him.
On getting there the nurses said I should wait at the waiting room while they quickly wheeled him in to attend to him immediately. I kept praying without ceasing tossing around the vicinity wishing he should be back to his feet soundly as soon as possible.
**************************
It was almost 10am in the morning and they were yet to be out so I phoned Miss Donna to let her know I won't be coming to work,I can't leave him at that state. She argued at first but I was so fast to let her know it's life and death situation and I can't trade it for anything not even for work.
I kept walking up and down till the doctor came out saying I should go with him to his office. I followed and sat at the chair he offered me waiting for him to say all is well and that he's recovering.
"you are?" He asked staring at me.
"Miss Scarlett"
"Miss Scarlett what really happened? what happened? did you two engage in a fight that you stab him multiple times?"
"He came back this morning at that state unconscious,I don't know what happened."
"Are you sure you don't?" He asked suspecting me but I still stood my ground.
"Anyways you did well rushing him here on time if not it would have been another case."
I turned my face sideways thinking if the lady earlier could do that to him, no one except her can do that.
" You can go in and see him Miss Scarlett, feed him some soup and give him this medicine" he said handling over some medicine to me. I walked out and headed away to his ward. He looked so calm and lifeless, but why did he risked his life coming to my apartment instead of going straight to the hospital. Hmmmmmmm!
I caressed his face. Tearing down silently.
" Get well soon dear, I don't like you in this manner."
I was still with him praying for his recovery when I noticed we have visitors. I rushed to the window to observe which really cleared my doubt.
A row of luxurious black cars keeps a low profile and slowly stop at the entrance of the hospital I drove him to.
The back seat opens and an average man and a woman with a young lady highlighted.
Surrounded by a group of well trained men they walk slowly into the hospital. I became so tensed and scared. I quickly adjusted my wears and sat coldly. I was holding his hands when they entered.
The woman shed tears uncontrollably telling him not to leave her while the man looked at him nodding his head. I was just there unmovable and unnoticed until the woman noticed me. She asked me who am I and what happened.
In my mind,I was trying to figure out what to tell her when Brown moved. He opened his eyes and was about talking when the woman I suggested to be his mother said it was okay. He stopped but signalled me to come closer which I did.
My face turned red and shyness was written over me, I held his hands then said I was going back first.
"Please don't"; he said giving my hand a squish.
He looked at his mom and dad and introduced me to them as the lady he wants to get married to breaking in his tone and same with me.
His mother embraced me warmly while his dad gave me an handshake. She quickly brought out food and said I should feed him that his son looks so lean and malnourished.
I did fed him although shyness was written boldly on my face.
Staying with him all day is kind of mind blowing. Watching him sleep peacefully holding unto my hands giving a light squeeze makes me blushed and fall more in love with him. There's this feeling that stirs my heart making me want to care for him much more than he did. I imagined myself going to places with him especially the ones I haven't been to but then I remembered he's still in pains suffering from the multiple stab.
Who ever did that would definitely face my wrath. LoL who the hell do I think I am. I'm so thinking high of myself but to be sincere whoever did this would have me to contend with and I really mean it.
I placed a kiss on his pam and rested my head on the bed space beside him. I was at that position when the ward door opened and his assistant together with all the departmental heads entered. My eyes got stuck with Miss Donna and I know exactly what was going through her mind. I stood up with hope of giving them some space to discuss but Brown held me tight drawing me closer to sit beside him, he kissed my forehead possessively before moving his attention to the heads of departments.
My cheeks turned crimson and I could tell what was going through their minds right now. They talked at length and showed their sympathy towards him. They were about going when Mr Brown told Miss Donna I won't be coming to work the next so she could cover for me. She nodded without objecting but does she have any atom of right to object? Definitely not a single one.
She gave me a glance before exiting the ward.
I'm so done for.....
