Mia’s POV.
Its been 2 days since he left. 3rd morning I woke up without him beside me. I was missing him. Every time we spoke I could tell that he was missing me too, I cant wait to see him.
I stood up and head to shower. Once showering and getting ready for school, I went down and saw Mary. I greeted her. She greeted me back. I took an apple as I went to take my car and drove to school.
The other night when he called me, he told me to use any of his cars. But I insisted on using mine. I missed riding in my car.
Upon reaching my school, I went to my locker. I saw Ash waiting for me. I took out the books I needed and shut my locker.
“Why are you looking so gloomy?” he asked me. “Nothing.” I said and walked to our class. “Don’t lie. Let me guess. You miss your husband right?” he asked me as we sit down.
I sighed as I nodded my head. “Don’t worry. He will be back soon.” he assured me. “He said it will take another 2 more days.” I said to him. “Oh.” Is what he said. “Don’t worry. 2 days will be over before you can blink.” He cheered me up.
I just shook my head. The teacher came in and started conducting the lesson.
Ash and I were sitting in our 4th lesson, when suddenly my phone start to ring. Everyone’s head turn to me. I saw who it was and was unknown. I disregarded and put my phone in vibration.
It kept ringing but I couldn’t pick up. Then again it rang again. But this time it Damien’s dad. Worried, I pick up the phone without anyone noticing.
“Albert is everything alright?” I asked worried. “No my dear.” he said as I sensed panic in his voice. “Its Damien. He, he..” he started to stutter.
“Albert, you are scaring me. What happened to Damien?” I asked scared. “He met with an accident.” he dropped the bomb at me. I quickly stood up. I hear him calling me and telling me the hospital name.
But I couldn’t move or breathe. My hands started to sweat which made the phone drop. I didn’t care everyone was looking at me. Ash who was beside me started to shake me.
I regained my conscious. Without saying anything I ran out of the classroom and school as I got into my car.
I felt someone open and close the door. But I didn’t bother to check who was it. As I started to rush drive and went out the school, I realised it was Ash.
After gathering myself up, I answered him. “Its-its Damien. He got into an accident.” I told him sobbing. I didn’t realise I was crying.
“Shit. damn it.” he said as started to say he will be fine and calm me down. I wont be able to calm down until I see him and know that he is fine.
Within minutes we were in the hospital. Without even parking I ran out of the car. Ash said he will park the car and come in. I nodded as I went to the receptionist and enquired.
She quickly gave me the details and told that he was in the ICU. With tears running down my face I ran to the ICU.
I saw Mary and Albert sitting down. Both of them had worried face. As I tried to go into the ICU Albert stopped me from entering.
Not being able to fight him, I just cried. “Shhh. Its ok my dear. He’s gonna be fine.” he assured. But I need to know that he is fine. Soon Ash was there. I ran to him and start to cry.
Ash tried to calm me but failing miserably. “What happened? How is he now?” Ash asked knowing I’m unable to speak.
“They said he was returning home in a fast speed and a truck hit him. The doctor has yet to say anything.” Albert said. When I heard this, I started to cry more.
He was rushing home to see me. This is all because of me. I cried until I start to wheeze and my head started to spin.
I fall limb as Ash tried to hold me. All I could hear were people yelling my name before I succumb to the darkness.
I groaned as I hold my head and wake up. I opened my eyes and looked around. I realised I was in the hospital.
I wondered what happen and the things that happen before I fell unconscious came flooding to me. I quickly stood up and exit the room. I searched for the room and came across Mary.
“Mary where is he?” I asked looking everywhere. “Calm down.” she said. “Please tell me where is he.” I begged her. She sighed as she guide me.
We went into a isolated room. There he was. Put up in wires and tubes. He was pale. The usual cheery smile that I was dying to see wasn’t there.
Tears just continued to rushed down. I saw Albert and Ash sitting down discussing. Upon seeing me they stood up.
I went to them. “What happen? He’s gonna be alright right?” I asked looking at them. They looked at each other. Ash sighed as he made me sit down and followed by both of them.
“Look Mia. I want you to listen to me carefully. Don’t get worked up.” he said as he told me worriedly. I nodded my head.
He took a deep breath before continuing. “Due to the accident he lost a lot of blood. When he was brought in he was in a critical condition.” when he said this I took in a sharp breathe.
“But they were able to stabilize him. But,” he paused. “But what?” I persuaded. “But, due to the loss of blood, they had induce him into a coma. He will only wake up, when he can.” he said finish. I couldn’t believe what he was saying. It can’t be true.
I slowly stood up and went beside him. I looked at him. Wishing he would wake up now and say all of this is just some kind of prank. I waited for him to stand up. He has to.
When I realise he isn’t going wake up, I fall to ground and started to cry. I cried for him to wake up. I didn’t realise how much I needed him till today.
I didn’t realise how much he means to till now. How am I gonna do this without him? I NEED HIM. Albert came up to me and help me stand.
“Look at me, my dear. He’s gonna be fine. He’ll come back to you. I promise you.” he reassured. I nodded my head at him.
I had to stay strong for him. He’ll come back to me. With that thought, I sat beside and took his hands in mine.
“Please come back to me.” I whispered hoping he can hear me.
