Arranged Marriage

Chapter 3

Chapter three: Moving Away

There was a loud beeping sound going on.

I slowly opened my eyes to reveal I was in a room. A white room. I think I was in a hospital.

"Do you think she's better now?" I heard a voice say from outside the door.

"Yes just a broken arm and a few stitches. She was only been asleep for two days now ma'am no need to worry." A man said.

Just then the door opened to reveal a doctor and my mother. "Oh thank goodness you're okay and awake." She chirped walking to my side.

I examined her and saw only a stitch on her head and pretty much it.

"What happened?" I asked. "We got in a car accident when we left Jonathan's house." My mother responded me.

"Jonathan? Oh Jonathan. Oh so um can we leave now?" I asked her, giving a pleading look to the doctor who nodded and left.

"I'll Bring your clothes and I will go fill in the papers now." My mother said placing a kiss on my head.

I groaned lifting myself up when she left the room. Flashes of the night came back at me. My first kiss. That stupid car. My arm. My arm!?

I looked down and saw I had a cast covering it all. I saw some black markings around and I truned to read it. "Get better besty-o! -Jonathan" I smiled at it and found two more from Susan and Gaberial.

I slowly pulled out the needles and all that weird stuff they put you.

"Ma'am you should wait before pulling them out. It can hurt you." A lady said handing me clothes to put on.

"Sorry. I just really wanna get out. I don't like hospitals." I mumbled remembering the last time coming here only to know my father died cause of some car accident.

The lady nodded and walked away. I sighed and slipped on the clothes and shoes. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I said and my mother walked in with a smile.

"Come on sweetheart. Time to go home." She said extending her hand for me to grab.

I got up and walked over to her side and we walked out of the hospital and found Susan outside next to her car.

"Hey Leila. How are you?" She asked me giving me a hug.

"Fine. Little sore and in pain. But other than that. I'm fine." I smiled.

She smiled and we got in the car. "So I guess Ima need save money for a new car ." My mother huffed.

I laughed at her, "Mom we have another car at home remember?" I told her.

She glared at me placing my hands up in surrender. "I know. I'm just saying." She said while we drove off.

"So Leila um did Jonathan tell you by any chance?" Susan asked me feeling confused.

Tell me what? Wait what?

"Tell me what?" I asked. "Oh he didn't. Um why don't you wait for him to tell you." She said giving me a sad smile. I felt confusion bubble in me.

What is she talking about? What is he hiding from me?

"What are you talking about?" I blurred out once we reached our house. Susan turned and smiled.

"Dont worry. Just worry when the time comes." She told me.

I got out of the car and walked over mumbling words trying to process what's going on.
