Alexandra ‘s POV

 

“Damn it!…” He yelled, hitting the steering wheel and turned to the next road by the left.

 

He drove with speed and was overtaking cars.

 

I shut my eyes.

“Jeremy, please you got to calm down.. You are driving so rough.” I said.

 

“Andra, My dad’s in the hospital. Like it’s so funny. I don’t wanna believe it.” He

 

said it like a whisper.

 

I inhaled and opened my eyes as I looked at him. He wasn’t in tears but his face spoke of fright. Pain…

 

I felt like taking his hand but cos he’s driving, I couldn’t, so I just watched him.

 

He’s lips were agape and his eyes were red but no tear.

 

I felt broken..

 

We were close to Washington Hospital and he drove with more speed.

“I hate to go to hospital! I fu.cking hate to!” He yelled, hitting the steering again.

 

“Jeremy..” I called sadly.

 

“I don’t wanna believe my dad is here.. I don’t want to.” He said as he pulled into the hospital and stopped at the parking lot.

 

When he turned off and was about opening the door, I took his hand and he turned and looked at me.

 

We stared into eachother’s eyes..

 

He’s eyes are drenched with so much fright.

“Jeremy.. you gotta just calm down there.” I said softly to him.

 

He looked down.

 

I left his hand and he opened the door and went out.

 

I did same.

 

He walked fast and I ran to be able to meet his pace.

 

I prayed so hard that nothing happened to him.

 

God please don’t let this be true, cos I guess I can’t bear Jeremy sad and in tears.

 

I can’t.

 

When we got to the attendant counter and a nurse required what he wants. He just said,

“I need to see my dad.” He said.

 

“What’s your name please?” She asked him.

 

“Jeremy Taylor.” He said.

 

She gasped.

“Oh my! Please have a sit and wait out for Doctor Sam. He’will be out soon.” She

 

said.

“He’s with my dad?” Jeremy asked.

 

“Im sorry. He’ll be the one to explain to you Jeremy.” She said to him.

 

He hit the counter with his fist and the nurse flinched.

“Tell me where my daddy is right now! Tell me what happened to my dad!!”He

 

barked at her.

 

I took his hand and squeezed it slightly…. Kindly share out more interesting stories from generalloaded.com using the floating social media icon buttons below…

“Please Jeremy..Let’s do what she said.” I said.

 

“I wanna see my dad!” He said to me. It was a yell.

 

“Come on, please.” I said quietly to him.

 

He turned and we walked over to the lounge and sat down.

 

But then he stood back up and and slide his hands into his pockets as he stared at the hallway that leads to the rooms.

 

I got up, and stood beside him and stared at the hallway too.

“Is my dad really in there?” He mumbled.

 

I blinked my eyes.

“I don’t wanna believe that.” He said.

 

“I don’t wanna believe either.” I said and took his hand again.

 

He looked at me.

 

Then I saw a doctor in glasses walk out through the hallway. He has gloves on and he look young.

“Jeremy.” I said as I held his hand tighter.

 

He turned his head over and saw him too.

 

He walked to him, with me still holding him.

“Mr Jeremy Taylor.” The doctor called him with a smile.

 

Such smile assured me of something good.

“I wanna see my dad.” Jeremy said.

 

The doctor smiled again.

 

I like this doctor already.

“Your dad is fine.” He said and turned back towards the hallway and we followed

 

him.

 

The thing is that, I still held Jeremy’s hand.

“He sustained legs injuries that would take quite sometime to heal.” He said.

 

“Oh damn! I told dad not to come home.

 

I can’t believe this shit!” He said.

 

My dream….

 

That dream.

 

Why did God allowed it to come through..

 

Doctor Sam took us into the ward room that his dad is and we saw him. On the hospital bed…

 

With his legs bandaged.

 

Oh… no.. Oh no..

“This can’t be my dad.” Jeremy said.

 

I held his hand tighter.. As I suddenly saw a tear drop down his hand.. “The other man we presumed would be his driver in a coma. He lost

 

consciousness.” Doctor Sam said and I gasped.

 

Jeremy looked shocked too.

“Is he gonna be fine?” I asked doctor Sam.

 

“We hope so.” He said.

 

“Is my dad ever gonna walk?” Jeremy asked.

 

 

“Once his legs get healed. But he’ll be on a wheelchair.” Dr Sam said. # Jeremy ‘s POV

 

I shut my eyes when he said that.

 

I went closer to look at my dad.

 

But the amazing fact was that, Andra followed me, still holding my hand.

 

Lol. He still has his handsome face..Even though his eyelids look dark brown and weary.

 

And his breathing was just too slow and frightening.

“Dad..” I called softly to him.

 

He’s sleeping. I know.

 

It’s great to catch some sleep.

“I miss you dad. Please wake up soon.” I said as tears fell off my eyes.

 

“Im really missing you.” I cried quietly as Andra held me tighter.

 

Doctor Sam had left.

 

“You should be home dad, not here in this fu.cking hospital.” I said. “You could have just gone back when I told you to.”

 

“Dad.. I don’t wanna miss you so much. You just better wake up and I dont even

 

wanna see you on a wheelchair dad. Promise me dad, that you’ll wake up. soon. Don’t leave me dad. Don’t leave me.”

 

I was in so much tears that I couldn’t help it… and I turned and hugged Andra.

“Andra..” I whispered as she let me hug her still as I cried on her shoulder, wetting

 

her school shirt.

“I can’t help it… I love my dad.” I said.

 

Hugging her more tightly.

 

#Alexandra’s POV

 

I let him cry on me..

 

Tears fell off my eyes as well but he couldn’t notice.

 

I blinked my eyes as more tears fell.

 

Then I.. don’t know if it was right..

 

I wrapped my hand around him as he wept more on me.

 

I can’t just help it…

 

His cries made me feel so broken and I felt guilty for everything..

 

I sniffled I know he heard the sound.

 

“Andra,..” He called.

 

“Huh?” I answered.

 

“You’re crying?” He asked.

 

I sniffled and shut my eyes.

“I can’t help it. You’re crying.” I said.

 

He pulled away and stared at me..

 

Into my eyes..

 

His lips are dry and agape. His eyes are red and teary.

“You’re in tears Andra.. Cos I am?” He asked in a whisper.

 

A tear rolled outta my right eye.

“I can’t help it. Your dad. He loves you and you love him so much. I wish we had

 

convinced him to stay back. After that dreadful dream.. I feel so guilty. I shouldn’t have had that dream..” I said as tears flowed.

 

He shook his head.

 

“Oh no Andra… Don’t fu.cking say that.” He said and hugged me again. “He never believed the dream. If he had….” He didn’t finish it, he began a

 

whimpering cry..

 

I wrapped my hand around him and cried too.

 

Just then, his phone rang and it reminded me of mine.

 

I left it in school..

 

Lili might be calling me all this while.

 

He seemed not to hear his phone ringing cos he still held me,.not wanting to pull away so soon.

“You.. you got a call..” I said.

 

“Yeah.. I know.” He said, and sniffled.

 

“You should pick up.” I said.

 

“Yeah… I know.” He said but he still held me..

 

So I pulled away.

 

His face look so pale and gloomy.

 

He got out his phone out and switched it to Silent.

 

Then he went coser to his dad,.bent and kissed his head and his hand.

 

 

“I hope you wake up soon dad. Im coming dad.” He said and took my hand and we walked out.

“Who called you?” I asked.

 

“The witch.” He said.

 

Im confused.

“Witch?” I asked.

 

“My mom..” He said.

 

I inhaled.
