A moment in time

chapter 6 : mending bridges

*Scream*

I open my eyes slowly cause I can hear that there is someone screaming but it feels like I'm dreaming cause it sounds so afar. My heart literally stopped for a minute as soon as my brain woke up.

"ZIZIPHO!!!!"I jumped out of bed and literally ran to her bedroom.

I found her sitting on the floor crying and I ran to help her stand up.

"My baby Milonke I can't lose my baby"she croaks as tears effortlessly ran down her face.

I check for blood cause usually in the movies there's always blood when someone is having a miscarriage,thats the only thing I know about pain during early stages of pregnancy it could only be miscarriage.

"There is no blood Zizipho so I'm sure the baby is fine"I assure also not convinced by my diagnosis of this sudden pain early in the morning,she keeps on brushing her lower abdomen in pain,lord knows how seeing her like this breaks my heart gosh.

"B-but it hurts"she yells crying making me feel so confused and scared. I help her stand up and lead her towards the door so that I can take her to the hospital. I'm just praying that she doesn't lose this baby,I know that I'm not a fan of everything revolving around it but its still an innocent soul that just deserves a chance to live.

I place her on the couch and ran upstairs to wear my sleepers and rushed back down. I grabbed my car keys and helped her walk to the car while shaking uncontrollably myself.

I pace up and down the passage as the doctor's examine her inside. I didnt even bring a phone well thats how blank and dumbfounded I was by this whole sudden thing.

"Advocate"I turn to see a tall and slim doctor standing in front of me but then he is not the doctor examining Zizipho so what the fuck does he want.

I look at him frowning and he laughs.

"You don't remember me??"he asks and I shake my head,I am familiar with his face but I just don't know where do I know him from.

"I'm Lwando,your night in shining armor"I roll my eyes embarrassed as soon as I remember who the fuck he is. He is one of the three guys from Saturday,the guy who was wearing a black T shirt,the fucken annoying one.

"You the dumbass who thinks that he saved my life"he chuckles shaking his head.

"Well all you have to say is thank you,its that easy"

"Well I'm not going to do that cause you didnt do anything the only person who can say was the hero is Indoda yomXhosa"I state and he looks at me with his eyebrow raised.

"And who the hell is that?"

"Your friend with the white T shirt"he chuckles softly and sucks his teeth.

"That dude likes taking all the credit yazi...anyway what brings you here?" I look at him as everything came back to me again. I take a deep breath and looked at him without saying anything cause if I start speaking I know I will cry.

"Hey what's wrong?"He asks concerned. Damn thats the worst question ever especially when everything is wrong like dude everything is totally wrong and you asking me what's wrong...well nothing is alright. That question just breaks down every wall you built to hide your true feelings from the world,it just completely leaves you valnurable.

I face up as tears threatened my eyes. At this point I'm just telling myself to just gather my emotions and be strong.

"Well my cousin is in there and I don't know what's really going on with her but the doctors are busy trying to figure it out" he sighs nodding as I tried to finish this sentence with out crying.
