My First Ever Love

Ch-27, Confession

He confessed, Shit! He confessed.
Should I run away? I opened my mouth to reply but was stopped by the ringing of my phone.

I held my phone to check the caller id but it was an unfamiliar number. I hesitantly picked the phone. I usually don't attend the call without a caller id shown on it but today me being in an awkward situation and also to give myself a little time before replying to him, I picked the call.

"Hello?" I asked cautiously

"Hello, Am I speaking to Kiara Jones?" The person on the other line asked and I replied with a yes.

"Dear, I'm a friend of your mother. I called you to notify you that your mother is in the hospital right now. There's is nothing to worry about, she just slipped and broke her leg." She told me and I stood frozen.

"Which hospital is she in? Is she okay?" I asked panicking.

"She is completely fine and is taking a nap right now. She told me not to worry anyone but she will be kept here for a day so I thought it's better to let you know so you don't worry. As for the hospital, your mom's in the Orchard hospital. While you come here bring some spare clothes for your mother and other essentials." She told me.

"Okay, thank you so much, ma'am." I thanked her softly.

"No worries and please call me Mandy" she told politely.

"Okay bye, Mandy. I'll be there in few minutes" after hearing her response I looked at Aiden as he looked at me with his brows raised.

"Hey! Could you give me a ride home? My mom's in the hospital and I need to pack few essentials for her" I said hurriedly overlooking his earlier question. He nodded his head and held out a helmet to me. He started driving as soon as I sat down.

The whole ride I was busy thinking about mom.
Is she alright?
Is she in pain?
Why was she so careless? She should've been careful.
Does dad know?
Is someone there in the hospital with her except Mandy?

I bolted to the door as soon as he stopped the motorcycle to grab my mom's clothes and some snacks after asking for Aiden to give me a ride to the hospital. I took all the essentials needed and closed the door before getting on the motorcycle.

We reached the hospital in fifteen minutes and I ran to the room worriedly as soon as I got the room number while Aiden followed behind me.

I opened the door to see her sleeping in the bed with her leg plastered and hung to a pole for support. My eyes were filled with tears seeing her like this but was relieved to see that it wasn't a major one.

Aiden came beside me and comforted me. I took a seat near her and held onto her hand while the tears fell onto my cheek. Aiden squeezed my shoulder in aid.

"Why are you so careless mom? What if something huge had happened, me and dad would've been so sad. Mom, you can't frighten me like this, I was so worried after hearing the news. Please mom promise me you will be more careful next time." I cried out when suddenly I felt pressure on my hand. I looked up to see mom opening her eyes slowly.

"Hi" I squeaked out, she squeezed my hand again.

"I'm alright sweety, don't worry. It's nothing major and I'm sorry to worry you. I told Mandy not to inform anyone." mom told me.

"How could you say that mommy? I was so worried. I didn't even tell dad because I didn't want him to worry about you if he hadn't heard it already." I ranted and she smiled weakly.

"How are you feeling Mrs. Jones?" Aiden asked her and mom's gaze shifted to him. She offered him a smile and told him she was fine.

"Does dad know?" I asked her.
