Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

EMILY'S POV

Since the day Dave walked in on me and Leo, he hasn't come back.

I still haven't come to the realization that he is done with the relationship this time. I still cling to the little hole that was already shattering within me.

I tried to reach out to him but, he was unresponsive. I smiled self depreciatedly, it seems he has blocked me and clearly cut all ties between us this time.

My emotions where surging, I was begining to lose control, thankfully Leo has been by my side. Taking care of my every need, I felt like a bad person, he was clearly giving me alot of time to get myself up and choose him. 

But here I was still hoping, longing,for Dave to come back to me. I am really delusional, not just that I can also be classified as a foolish person.

Love has blinded me, even after everything he has done that hurt me, I was still willing to be with him.

I didn't want or ask for much, just having him is enough for me.

I glanced at the food that Leo brought in the morning, it is already noon time but I wasn't hungry…then again I wouldn't want Leo to feel angry, he has done so much for me already.

I sat up from the hospital bed, I felt sick to my stomach. I was getting tired of the environment but Leo won't agree to that, according to his words he said I was gradually slipping into depression.

I placed my legs on the floor and picked up the spoon, after eating for some time, I stopped. Not because I was full but because I was forcing myself to eat.

"Since you are so protective of her, she's all yours"

"You don't even love me, you are just obsessed with me, I'm sick of it all"

Those words were still ringing freely in my head, if that's how he saw me why did he asked us to get back together?

Why did he say he was going to marry me, to be good for us…for me?

Where those all lies?

Did he ever even loved me?

I am really pitiful.

I couldn't hold it in anymore, I cried out, sobbing loudly.

Why is everything going the wrong way?

Can't I even keep a man?

What the hell is wrong with me?

I haven't been at work for some time now, I just hope I don't get fired.

That was the only thing that hasn't gone wrong for me.

After crying for some time, my mind went back to Dera, damn it.

I haven't spoken to her for some time now, she will be very worried about me and of course mad at me too.

What kind of friend am I? I sighed inwardly.

I just want to be alone, don't want to even talk about what is going on at the moment because clearly, I was exhausted.

But deep inside me I still want to try, I know someone else is pregnant with his child but as long as he stays with me, I won't mind.

Ironic, isn't it?

But if that's what I have to endure to get him, I will gladly do it.

Since he isn't taking my calls I might as well go pay his mother a visit.

DERA'S POV

As I entered the ward, there she was, lying down like a vegetable.

I was furious, what has happened to her?

"Emily what happened to you?...what happened to your head, did you hit it somewhere or what?" I asked with red eyes as I approached her.

She turned her head, her gaze was lifeless.

"Why are you here" she asked

I froze, I raised my head and stared at her, clearly pained by the words she just said.

"Is this how your treat a friend that cares about you, I have been worried sick and this is all I get?" 

She turned her head away from my sight, it was clear that she was crying, something most have happened.

"How is the baby" I said as I sat down on the bed she is lying on 

She sneered " what child?...the one that left the time I needed him the most?.." she sobbed and continued " I lost the baby Dera…. I lost it"

This news hit me unexpectedly.

"You lost the baby?...what happened" I whispered.

"He cheated, the other woman is pregnant with his child" she said as if it wasn't something related to her.

"Omg he is too much, I don't know why you keep clinging to him,why don't you just chose Leo….he is a gentle man, also how did you get a head injury?" I asked with a worried expression.

"He and Leo fought" she said still not looking at me.

"They fought because of you, right….well I have told you to let go of that idiot you keep worshiping, look where It got you" I shouted at her.

It was only then that Emily looked at me, she was clearly furious.

"That's my life for goodness sake, what does that have to do with you?....I don't want to be alone like you" she yelled at me 

I felt pained.

If I said wasn't pained I lied, she knows clearly that I'm an orphan yet she says something like this to me?

Was this even what a friend should say?

It seems this friendship has to end, I won't let her insult me because of a man that doesn't want her, since she wants to continue to be delusional, I will give her the freedom.

"Our friendship ends here" I said before walking out on her.

I can still clearly hear her sobs as I walked into the hallway.

She clearly doesn't deserve me being her friend.
