A figure appeared and revealed himself to me. It was my father's chief of security. How did he know I was here? That wasn't important, I had to save kj and Nathan

With tears in my eyes I signalled David to get help. I rushed to KJ's side and he was still groaning Nathan as well. But I paid little attention to Andrew.

The police stormed in followed by Gina and the rest, the police knew i was being held hostage and wanted to make sure I was safe before coming in. Apparently someone had tipped them off.

They helped David and I carry Nathan and KJ into their cars, I insisted that they take us to the  hospital before giving my statement. Kj was losing blood and so was Nathan. What were they thinking taking bullets for me?
Why was God punishing me?

It was an emergency, I kept praying in the car while David got cloths and held over KJ's tummy to suppress the bleeding. I got one quickly and did the same for Nathan. He managed to reach out for my hand and this time I held on tight. I shouldn't have said I never wanted to see him again, nature must have heard me.

We got to the closest hospital, a local clinic and they were taken into the OR(operating room)

I kept pacing around praying for everything to go well, Jane and Gina caught with me and just held me. I couldn't help crying, I wanted to ask how Andrew was but I couldn't get myself to do it.

I told Gina and Jane how KJ and Nathan got shot, though I didn't see it happen I suspected Andrew to have the two men while David shot Andrew

"Jane, you now have two brothers "I said holding her hand

I don't understand how? " She replied bemused

Andrew told Nathan that he was a product of an affair he had, I don't know if it's in my place to tell you, but I think you should know the truth, he said KJ was adopted"

Jane couldn't speak at this point, she was stunned

"Also ummm I was the one who moved your friend, from that psychiatric hospital. When you told me how erratic how behavior was, I suspected that your father must have had a hand in it"

"She's getting better now, we could go see her if you want, "

Gina finally spoke to me"Mer I got a result from the hospital, ummm it's very surprising and good"

"Don't bother G, I know what it'll say, Andrew never raped me"

"What! How come!  Jane responded
Well he did try to rape me, but he wasn't lucky. I thought he did for years but I was wrong. I couldn't remember every detail because I had a hit to my head, which stopped him from finishing his plan"

Well now I know why Nathan has feelings for you to, it's hereditary "Gina chipped in

I managed to chuckle and so did jane
So Mer, when they come out of that room, who are you going home with?
Two men took bullets to save your life, I don't think any one of them loves you less.

Honestly I don't want to think about it, but I'll choose my happiness.

"Where was sophia by the way?"

The lady with the gun!? I think she's around here. How do you know her M?

"She's uh nathan's ex"

"Oh!  Wow, well she won't be too excited to know her ex took a bullet for you"

I don't think she'll be " I muttered
The doctor walked out and we stood up immediately.

His countenance was horrible, something was definitely wrong
Doctor how did it go? Are they okay?
Well miss, the two young men are definitely fighters but one of them is not looking too good
The bullet punctured one of his kidneys and we've been trying our best to keep him alive. He might be needing a transplant.

At this point I was almost breathless "Which one of them doctor?"

The Mr James.... oh sorry I got confused there, Mr Nathan Joseph "

I couldn't stop myself from crying at this point.

" How's the other person?"

Well we've managed to keep him stable but he is in coma
Doctors are bearers of horrible news " gina spat out.

"How long will he be in a coma?"

"Well it might last for days, weeks, years, you never can tell"

"How bad does he need the kidney transplant? Can he last for long?"

" With how bad his state is, I'd say three weeks with dialysis"
I zoned out

"Mer! Mer!  Hey!  Calm down let's go see kj. Don't worry they'll be fine. I'll make sure Nathan gets a transplant ASAP okay ." Jane reassured me
Looking at KJ  on the bed, the tears continued

"Please can I be left alone with him?"

Gina and Jane left me with kJ and I kept on sobbing.

"Why didn't you let him shoot me, KJ? You idiot!  Why did you even come to save me, you're supposed to be angry ?  You shouldn't even have come in the first place, now you're in this state

I left KJ's room hoping that by tomorrow things will get better. I met David who told me how he knew where I was. For years I had thought I was out of my father's reach but he had eyes on me the whole time.
David said he stopped watching me for a week due to an emergency at home, but when he came back I had been taken. He followed Jane to get to me.

After catching up with him to get my mind off things, Gina became a more appealing companion and he left me.
I woke up to noise coming out of two rooms close to each other, Nathan's and KJ's. Jane had left the hospital to get supplies and hopefully a donor.
Something was wrong with kj as well because the doctors and nurses kept walking around in his room, another set in Nathan's. I was terrified.

"Excuse me, is there any chapel in this hospital "I enquired

The lady directed me to a room and j knelt down and started crying. Maybe God would understand my tears better than words.

I kept crying and when exhaustion hit me I slept off.

" Grandma is that you? What are you doing here? "I asked hugging her so tight

" I'm here to help you nene" she said patting my back.

"I only laughed at her words" grandma this is not the movies, and you're not a fairy besides I need a kidney for my friend. I don't see you getting me extra pairs? "

" Tell me what are you willing to sacrifice to save him? "

" Grandma anything at all, but my fiance is also in danger. I'm in a very difficult situation because I don't want to lose any of them. "

" What if only you had powers that could only save one of them nene, which one would you choose to save? "

" Grandma I love the both of them I don't think I want to lose any, saving KJ would mean leaving Scott without a father. Saving Nathan would probably make me miserable for the rest of my life, I can't live knowing that KJ died because of me. "

" Nene so you're telling me your hands are tied?  "

" Unfortunately yes grandma, it's like living out the word dilemma " I chuckled with tears forming in my ears.

" Nene why are you crying? "

" Well granny I'm sad, what if I chose to save kJ would that make me selfish? I do love Nathan but I think I love KJ more. "

" Well you're not actually saving anyone of them, it's not like you had the power anyway?"

"But grandma you know I would never risk the happiness of a child to get mine , I would never want Scott to be fatherless. So if I had the power, no matter how much I'd want to see myself happy. I'll choose another person's happiness over mine."

" Well Mer it only shows you have a good heart, God loves those with a good heart baby, I think you made the right choice and for that you'll find happiness , I do miss you a lot, but I'll take my leave now "

Grandma can't I come with you? , I need to rest .

" Okay I'll wait for you, first you need to meet your friend"
Who? I turned around and grandma left
