I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

Lydia’s POV:

After debating, I concluded that I had to delete his number and block it as well.

I couldn’t be in love with him, I just couldn’t.

Are you sure you would like to block this contact?

The message came to my screen and just before I clicked on “yes” , a loud knock on my window startled me and when I rolled down the window, Lorena barged into the car taking a seat in the passenger’s seat.

“I know I am literally the last person you want to see or speak to right now but I need you and you need me. So let’s talk.” Lorena began staring at me and I just looked right back at her then tears brimmed in my eyes.

“Oh girl.” She instantly pulled me for a hug and I wrapped my arms around her sniffling.

“Aaron told me about everything and it’s just for the best. He’s gonna heal and move on and maybe in a few months or years he will be back with his new found love and kids.” I really just wanted everyone who I loved to be happy and content with their lives.

“How come I never saw it? I just began to play back some of our past times together and I ignored some little things like how he would stare at me without uttering a word or run to my needs but I just thought that’s just best friend stuff. Ugggghhhh, I just don’t want him to hate me and besides I’m not even ready to put my heart out there and get into a relationship. Can you believe he even thinks I have feelings for Nathaniel? Nathaniel after everything, I just even started warming up to him and I was about to block his contact right now. Plus the crap his mother had to say at the show this morning…I just can’t. I need a vacation after Andrew’s recovery and when he finally decides to wake up cause I’m tired.” I ranted and Lorena’s facial expression kept changing after each digression especially when I spoke on Nathaniel, she seemed quite amused.

“Whew…It felt good to let that off my chest and I’m tired of thinking and even discussing this. So rant to me tell me what’s been going on with you.” I ushered her to speak after letting out a breath. My phone lit up while she was gathering her words, it was simply a message from Ariana asking me to get something from the ice-cream store not too far from here.

“It’s just work and preparing a fashion line and Darren and I just got into an argument about having kids. He said we should start now and I’m trying to argue saying let’s get married first so boy, please put on that condom if you’re going to touch me.” I chuckled listening to her words until my phone ringing loudly interrupted us.

“Excuse me.” I said to Lorena who gestured for me to go on.

“Ari, I’m literally downstairs and I’m about to get it.” I told her with a smile on my face looking at Lorena who was playing with a Van Cleef bracelet.

“Lydia, I don’t know what just happened but his blood rate started going off and I was scared shouting for the doctor as his body kept convulsing, I don’t know what’s happening…” Arianna’s voice was shaky and terrified, making me scared as well and the grin on my face faltered.

“I will be right there. I’m coming up.” Lorena gazed at me worried as soon as I hung up.

“What’s wrong? What’s happening? What happened to Andrew?” She bombarded me with questions as we hopped out of the car and I speed walked into the hospital building.

“I don’t know but she said there was a drop in his heart rate…she said nothing else.” My eyes watered and fear gripped onto me thinking of the worst.

“Calm down, Lydia. I’m sure it’s just an improvement or maybe he’s waking up.” She tried to calm me down as we entered the elevator. I took deep breaths to relax myself and she patted my back soothingly.

We finally arrived at his floor and from afar I saw Ariana pacing back and forth crying. Did they already tell her something? Is Andrew okay? I froze in my spot.

“Let’s go Lydia.” Lorena pulled me and I tried my best to keep repeating positive words to myself. We walked and Ariana ran to hug me as soon as she saw me.

“They haven’t said anything yet, but I just feel so hopeful. I was talking to him about my meeting with my father and our future plans before this happened. I just genuinely pray this is just his dramatic wake up or something.” She chuckled weakly wiping her eyes and I smiled small, matching her energy.

After sighing deeply, a doctor with a nurse behind him came out of Andrew’s room with an emotionless expression which made my heart race rapidly.

“Doctor, how is he? What just happened?” Ariana questioned rubbing her lips together with her accent thick as she spoke.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“There was a change in his vital signs and his heart race dropped and we almost lost him but we tried our best and now Mr Andrew Miller….” The doctor trailed off as if trying to build up tension and I so wanted to snap at him but he gladly decided to finish his speech and his next words had me about to break down crying.

“He is awake.” I wanted to cry tears of joy and Ariana let out a breath of relief and Lorena did the same.

“However, there is a slight problem…” The doctor spoke as we were rejoicing among each other and I was already bringing out my phone to call my father and inform him of the great news.

“What’s the problem doctor?” Ariana looked at him with worry.

“Due to the impact of the accident, he wouldn’t be able to move his legs for now and we still have a few tests to run….” I zoned out sucking my teeth sharply.

Of course there was another problem…there was no such thing as peace or a happy moment in my life…. WHY?
