Chapter Fourteen
"Tell me you're lying..." I whisper as I start backing up slowly.
No this cannot be happening. Neil his life cannot be in danger. He has to be safe. He has to live... He has to live and be both of my kids their godparents along with Margaret.
Margaret...
He has to be here for Margaret. He cannot leave my best friend just like that. He just has to be okay.
"I'm not lying." Xavier took a step closer to me. "He really is on the edge. The doctor said that if they can't save him in time, we're gonna lose him."
"No..." I whispered. "No..."
"Come on, let's go." Xavier took my hand in his and led me out of the house.
We sat in the car and Xavier started the car. He pulled out of the driveway and we soon were on our way to the hospital. To be honest, I was worrying my ass off. I was thinking about every possible thing that could happen.
What if something happened to Neil? What if he makes it? Will he see my baby? Will he stay with Margaret forever as promised? He has to. He just has to.
Margaret...
What will happen to her when something really happens to Neil? She will be devastated! She can take a wrong step! She can do anything to herself! She won't make it. She just loves him too much!
*~*~* flashback *~*~*
"Hadley?" Margaret called me as I placed Xavier's clothes in the closet.
This man I tell you. He will throw all his clothes all over the place and make a run for it when I tell him to pick them up. Oh god, please save me from what I have gotten from you. Sometimes-– well, most of the times, Xavier seems like a blessing, but sometimes this blessing is just too much!
"Yes, Margaret?" I smiled.
"Do you think that Neil and I will last forever?" she asked with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Sweetheart, I don't think so, I know so." I smiled at her and she smiled brightly.
"I really love him, you know. I'm scared that I'm gonna lose him." she whispered, but loud enough for me to hear her.
I turned around with one of Xavier his suits in my hands. I looked at her and cocked my head to the side. Never did I know...
"I never knew you had so many emotions for my jackass of a cousin." I said and she chuckled.
"Yeah... I do..." she pursed her lips. "It's just that I have this weird kind of fear.." she ran out of words.
I sat on the bed and placed my hand on her shoulder. "Oh, don't worry. Neil will be just fine."
She smiled placed her head on my lap. "Thanks for being in my life, Hadley."
*~*~* end of flashback *~*~*
Everything will be fine...
I wish that those words would be able to convince me that he'll be fine. But they didn't. I kept thinking about Neil and Margaret. I have no clue what she's going through right now. I have no clue how much she cried since the accident and I also have no clue how much worse she's feeling.
I let out a sigh. I hope he'll be fine...
"Is Margaret there?" I asked Xavier and he nodded.
I rested my head against the window again and stared outside. I let out another sigh and thought about what might happen. I really hope that a miracle happens and Neil gets saved.
"We're here." I heard Xavier say.
I jumped out of the car and waited for Xavier to get out. Once the car was locked, we ran into the building to Neil's room. I was so scared that I could beg the doctor to save Neil's life right now. Xavier took my hand and we walked into Neil's room. The doctor was standing right there, writing things down while he checked Neil's pulse, while Margaret was standing behind him with tears in her eyes.
I looked at Xavier and Xavier looked at me. We were all praying that Neil will be fine, like he was before. I was about to take a step further, but then I realized that Sarina was among us too. I just looked at her. We hadn't talked for a while, but that actually didn't bug me. I have my own life and she has her own. She has to settle down too, you know.
I faintly smiled at Sarina, which she returned-- and I walked over to Margaret. She didn't realize that Xavier and I were here already, so she jumped when I placed me hand on her shoulder. Once she saw that it was just me, she hugged me and sobbed on my shoulder. I rubbed her back and the back of her head like she was a baby, trying to calm her down.
"Margaret, tell me what happened." I said as carefully as I could.
She didn't say anything, she just continued to sob on my shoulder. I was panicking on the inside, but I decided not to show anything... Well, at least I tried. The truth was that I was fucking shaking. Did something bad happen to Neil? Why was she crying so much? I looked at Sarina and saw that also she had tears in her eyes. Now I started to tear up. Will anyone tell me what happened?
I saw Xavier talking to the doctor, but I couldn't hear anything, because they were talking very softly while I was trying to calm Margaret down. She sniffed and lifted her head from my shoulder. This is the first time I had to calm Margaret down. Margaret has always managed to calm herself down. Margaret let go of me and I took her hand in mine, and walked over to the doctor. Margaret wasn't going to tell me what happened, so I will have to ask the doctor myself.
"Doctor, what happened?" I asked with tears in my eyes.
"I'm afraid to say this but.. He's in a coma..." the doctor frowned.
"What!?" I yelped. "How? When? Why? When will he wake up again?" I shot the questions.
"As you see, when the accident happened, his head got severely injured, and he went into a coma. And for your last question, I have no answer, to be specific. We have no idea when he will wake up again." he said and I gasped. "Now, can you please exit the room? We have some checkups to do." he said and we nodded.
I was shocked. I couldn't move. Sarina had to drag me out of the room. Xavier helped me sit down on the chair and he knelled in front of me. I heard the door close and all I wanted to do was run inside and hug Neil until he can't take it anymore and he wakes up.
"Angel, he will be fine." Xavier placed his hand on my cheek and rubbed it with his thumb.
I looked at him, my sight all blurry. "He went into coma, Xavier! And the doctors can't tell when he'll be fine again!" I sobbed.
"Who did this anyway?" Sarina asked.
"I don't know... We- we didn't see the person." Margaret said.
"But it's impossible! The street wasn't dark, the person didn't seem drunk and we were with four people, for god's sake!" I yelled. "How is it possible for them not to see him!?"
"You've got a point there.." Sarina said.
"It can't be. Hadley is right. How didn't the person see him... Unless.." Margaret her eyes grew wide.
"Unless the person did it on purpose." Xavier stood up.
