Jamal's POV

Noti parked the car and we stormed out as if the car was a hell and we were lucky enough to be saved out of it. It was awkward to the two of us and Noti was giving me this harsh look as if she wanted to tear my clothes or kick my damn ass.

"You two should act as lovers, remember people already know that your wedding plans are still on, " she said and I looked at Vera who was nervous.

"We are still lovers Noti, leave us the hell alone, " I said bored and Noti left.

I turned to this girl and looked at her.

"Don't fucking do anything stupid while we are there or I will throw you out or leave you here, " I say meaning it.

"Okay, " she said biting her lips and I was wondering how the words I yelled relate to her lips.

I took her hand anyway and we walked inside the hospital. Noti already disappeared and we struggled finding the room.

I really hate coming here because of what I witnessed few years ago. The death of my mom, I was inside the room when she said the last words and believe me it was not easy especially when nurses rushed forcing us out of the room.

I had cried the whole week before years passed and the memories slowly faded away leaving a scar. No one can replace her and I always miss that motherly love. We were close to each other and when she died it was hard for me to stay without her around.

And this is the fucking reason why  I'm coward right now. I just don't want to refresh the memories. They really hurt.

We opened the room timidly and entered.

Fuck! Everybody was here all of them silent and looking at the center where my sweet girl was laid and peacefully asleep in the fucking bed.

The figure of my mom appeared but I severally shook my head to push it away. I looked at her once again and her eyes were closed. Three fucking days in coma.

I looked at the corner and saw her mother crying as another lady who I remember as Huddah's friend was supporting her. She must have cried all night. Two teenager girls stood next to her. I guess one of them must be her sister.

Lulu, Lilian, Pascal ,Kevin,Willy and Kanze  were at the other corner. Everybody had that pity look on their faces. I narrowed my eyes to that bitch, Lilian and I felt like shooting her with my imagined gun.

She is fucking pretending to be worried when she is the cause of all this.

I ignored her and looked at my brother Otile. So he is here too. Noti was standing next to him with Tande, Femi, Betty, Fena and Khali. I slowly shut my eyes and opened them again. Seems like I'm the only visitor here.

I took my eyes back to my queen and I almost felt my eyes pool with tears but I forced them away.

Why did I make her face all of this ? I could have fucking left her with Kevin or my brother. I lead her into this fucking mess and I just can't do anything to see her smile.

I have three people here who knows that we are in relationship. Lulu, Lilian and maybe Tanya , her friend. She must be fucking knowing this. I don't know if she told her sister and her mom already. Lilian made me agree into this huge thing here but I had no choice. I'm doing this for the sake of my family, well my dad. If not that I would have confessed this whole shit right now.

I took a long breath for the million time and looked at her once again. Babe, I'm sorry. I mumbled silently and looked at Lilian giving her this grudging look. She saw it and smirked but immediately rubbed it when Kanze turned to whisper something to her.

I will revenge I swear. I must. Once this shit is taken care of I will do something about it.

"She is breathing hard, " I heard Noti say walking near her. All of us looked at her as if she was crazy. Her mother whose tears still streamed down her face walked near her and knelt down supporting herself on the edge of the bed.

I looked at her tears and felt my own tears itching to come out. I walked out immediately to avoid causing a scene. No one realized as all of them were busy concentrating on what Noti was saying.

God why me all the time ?

I screamed in my heart.

"Jamal, " I heard and turned shocked to see Tanya. Fuck.

"Yes. Tanya ,right ?" I mumbled feeling the words sinking to a pit.

"Yes, where have you been all these days ? I thought you will be the first to stay with her, " she said and the guilty I had multiplied. No one will fucking understand this.

"It's a long story Tanya, " I said trying to sound more convincing cause I definitely know that she hate me now.

"She is your girl Jamal. What will she think if she wake up in your absence ?"

"I know it isn't fair but if I make a slight wrong move everything will be more fucked up than this, " I inhaled sharply feeling the same pain that has been crossing in my chest for the fucking three days now.

"You should be here whenever you're not busy. I've started doubting if you really loved her."

"Tanya! Don't say that. I know you care about her but you should know that I really love her. I can't literally do anything since that day but there are many things that are making me not to come here." I said.

"She needs you Jamal and you should not leave when you're needed. I bet you even know why she fell. Do you ?" She asked crossing her arms on her chest. She pressed her lips together, a sign to show that she was really pissed at me.

"I said it's a long story Tanya, maybe I should find time and we talk with you. That is if I will trust you."I said feeling the need to talk to her. I will get some answers plus she will be of great help if I use her to do something I want to.

"You can trust me."

"Tomorrow lunch, " I suggested looking at her.

"Yes, " she answered and I handed her my card with all my details.

"See you, " I said and she went inside. I took a long sigh and entered. Everybody was silently looking at the bed. Huddah's mother , her sister and Noti were standing looking at her. Noti really cared about her. Tanya joined them and she looked at her pained.

She should really wake up because everybody seemed to have waited forever.

"She is smiling , " I heard her sister say happily and everybody seemed to be triggered by that.

"She is smiling ?" Kevin asked pacing up and down and I just looked at him wishing that I had not stopped her from him. Maybe they are meant to be together.

Jamal Asshole Jones.

Damn. I'm really messy right now. Lilian gave me another warning look and I responded it with my grudging look. She doesn't have to know my every move.

"Yes, she is smiling more, " Noti yelled happily.

"That's sweet, " I heard Femi say looking at them.

I just went on keeping my mouth shut. Vera looked at me and came closer.

"Everybody seems to care, " she whispered.

"Except you, " I whispered back.

"I do."

"You hate her Vera,I know that, " I said trying to keep my voice low.

"You hate her too Jamal. At least I'm never around her most of time so she doesn't know if I hate her this much, " she said.

"So you have agreed that you hate her ?" I asked shocked.

"Yes but I don't hate her right now. There was a time I thought you will fall for her because obviously she has everything a good girl should have, " she said honestly.

"Really ? So you think she is better than you ?" I was shocked at my questions too. I should be more careful.

"Maybe, " she said pursing her lips. She doesn't know how good I felt. I just wish things are not as messed up as they are right now.

"She is trying to move her hand, " her sister alerted us again and everybody smiled at that. There is hope.

"She is frowning as if feeling some pain. " Noti adds and we all looked at her. Sure to their words she seemed to struggle moving her hand.

"The docter said that her hands slightly twisted and it might take time to heal, " Tanya explained and we all pitied her. Inwardly I was crying and wishing that I would go and massage that of her hands.

I miss you Huddah.

"She is feeling pain. Look at her, she kind of want to cry." Tanya said and I looked at her seeing her face holding this angry look. I've seen it many times and I know she must be feeling something bad.

I felt like walking to where she was but the glare that I received from Lilian stopped me on my tracks.

I regret employing her, I didn't know that one day she gonna threaten me this much. I stood and went on crying feeling the bitter tears fall in my stomach.

You see, this is why I don't like coming here cause I just want to avoid this temptation of letting all these bitches  know that I'm her boyfriend.

'"She is crying, " Noti informed snapping me from my weird thought. I looked at her again and she had this hurt face. Fuck!

Baby calm down.

"Maybe she is feeling pain in her body, don't worry, " Tanya said but I could see she was struggling to calm down her heart as well.

Her mother was holding her hand and I painfully imagined how hurt she felt.

Lilian , you will pay for this bitch.

I muttered in my heart and went on looking at my girl whose face still held that angry look.

"She is struggling as if she want to say something ," Noti said and all of us went silent again. I could only hear my heart beat.

All our eyes were looking at her mouth which she moved a little bit and her eyes were struggling to open too. I smiled feeling some hope fill my heart.

Huddah baby wake up.

I could only say it in my heart. Everybody smiled when she opened her eyes and moved her mouth again ready to say something.

"Say it girl, "Noti said encouragingly. Her face was still angry.

"Jamaaaaal." She painfully yelled.

Everything shuttered.
