Declan Davies
It has been two weeks since the attempted murder of Sasha and Sadly, she was still in coma
I could vividly remember that fateful day , I almost lost my mind and became calm only when the doctor assured that she will be alright .When I was done dressing , I stood in front of the mirror and sighed in frustration
I looked so pale and the puff bags underneath my eyes was enough to show that I haven't been getting enough sleep.
Well! It is just a matter of time, I will be fine as soon as Sasha wakes.
Reaching for my phone and car keys , I walked out of the room and climbed down the stairs and met my mum in the sitting room , humming a song as she set the table for breakfast .
This has been her way ever since Daphne case was re opened and taken to court .
"Good morning mum". I greeted
"Good morning b.........she paused , frowning.
"You didn't sleep again right?"
I merely nodded.
"Is this because of Sasha?" She continued. "
Just a night you slept away from her and you are looking worst . Fine! I know how much you love her and I also do love her , but do you think she will be happy to see you like this when she wakes ?"She seized me up and down.
I sighed deeply . "I know mom , but it is not just easy for me .I mean how do you expect me to sleep when Sasha is laying so helplessly on the hospital bed".
She was quiet for a moment and then smiled sadly
"Come let us have breakfast".
"No".I shook my head . "I will pass"
"And do you think I will allow that?"She retorted . If I may ask, where are you going to this early hour of the morning?" She rolled her eyes and I was forced to laugh.
"Today is Daphne final hearing or have you forgotten?"
She smirked . "The hearing is gonna be by 10:00am , just tell me you are going over to the hospital and I will understand".
"since you know, why then did you ask?""I teased and leaned in to peck her her cheek.
"See you later". I bade and with that , rushed out of the house.
"I will join you at the court room". She called after me.
"Alright". I answered and made for my car.
Opening the door , I got in and started the car , driving off to to hospital.
I need to see Sasha first before any other thing, one night away from her and I was already missing her .
Dang it! She completely stole my heart.I soon got to the hospital and drove into the big compound , parking out in the car lot.
I alighted and noticed few reporters lurking around, waiting for the "heroine " to wake.
I smiled lightly .I think it is time for you to wake Sasha.
I walked into the hospital , ignoring the reporters who looked like they wanted to eat me . They all wanted to know why Sasha chose to reinvestigate a case that was sealed as a suicide and I certainly couldn't tell them the truth , else I would be seen as crazy.Entering the ward , kamara rushed to hug me.
She was there in the room with her parent.
I smiled lightly and ruffled her curly hair
"Declan, Sasha moved her feet not quite long". she jumped excitedly
"Really?" My eyes lit up and I walked past her to the huge bed.
I sat down on it and peered into Sasha whitish face , leaning over to peck her lightly.
"Good morning baby". I greeted softly
Her dad cleared his throat. " Morning Declan".
My face flushed with embarrassment and I slowly shifted my gaze to him , then to his wife.
"Good morning sir , Good morning ma". I greeted then.
I completely forgot about them!
"Morning". her mom smiled sadly and as for her dad, he just nodded slowly.
Her mum continued. "Actually we were about to take our leave, I need to go prepare breakfast while my husband need to rush down to pick some stuff at office . we were both hoping you would stay with Sasha and Kamara till we are back". she caressed Sasha face.
"I really wish to". I glanced at my wristwatch and heaved a sigh. "but my sister final hearing is in the next 30 minutes".
"Oh". her face fell.
"But I will spend the night here". I quickly added.
"Thanks Dec". she smiled slowly. "I really don't know what we could have done without you".
And with that, she pecked Kamara and walked out of the room, her husband following behind her.
I followed them with my eyes till they were out of sight and then shifted all of my attention to Sasha.
"Baby". I brushed her hair lightly. It is me Declan. ain't you missing me? ain't you missing our stupid fights and play? ........I paused to steady my breathe and then continued
"I know you are , and that is why I am beseeching you to wake up .A lot of things happened while you were asleep. Racheal, her father and the chief police are all behind bars and the trial today will determine their fate. Sinclair was promoted to the level of the chief police, but he politely declined the offer saying he prefers to be a detective. Cory is so worried about you that she comes to see you everyday .Kamara refused to leave your side and ......your best friend Daphne .......I am very sure hasn't left your side either.
"Can my sister really see Daphne?" Kamara butted in , blowing her noses Into a small towel.
"Did she tell you anything?" I looked in her direction.
"No". she replied. "But I overheard her mentioning the name".
" Alright". I simply said.
"can you please answer my .....:
"I need to go now". I cut in before she could complete her statement. "Make sure you look after your sister". I stood up and began walking to the entrance, hesitated, and then stopped
"Daphne make sure you look after them". I glanced at Kamara who shot me a curious look and then left the room .
