MY GREY WORLD

Chapter 26

Sorry for the late update, I have been busy

I want to thank all my readers, I finally reached 1k on Friday and I was ecstatic, still am. I was also in top 10 on lgbt, lesbian and teenager ranking, How I got there I honestly don't know but thank you so much guys. I look forward to seeing more comments and opinions of my readers.

"So how do you know Rell?"

"I'm a friend from school" I mean what could I say, I didn't know if she was an homophobic bitch plus we weren't even dating... yet

Eurell's mother responded with a sad smile, I was stuck in an awkward situation, Jose and Tony had taken a bathroom break and also decided to get us coffee while Robert(R-square) stood up to answer a call, I wasn't smart enough to come up with an excuse on time instead I remained glued to my seat as I listened to her talk. I couldn't believe she was Eurell's mother, the closest to a resemblance that they shared is their eye color which wasn't exactly the same. Eurell's mother had a light green eyes while Eurell's was an emerald green, Rell's eyes reminds me of the promise of springtime.

She continued the conversation, "The girl has been through a lot in her life and it is bad enough luck that she got a father like that, there isn't much I can do for her because she never lets me but I'm happy she is meeting good people and people that value her for who she really is"

I smiled awkwardly and nodded in understanding.

Luckily, Jose and Anthony walked in holding steaming hot brewed coffee saving me from more awkward moment, I took my decaffeinated coffee and sipped on it slowly, I didn't take coffee with caffein because they tend to give me headaches afterwards. Just then the surgeons walked in accompanied with Robert.

"We have prepped the patient for surgery and would be going in exactly 4:40pm that is 15mins from now"

"We would try our very best but do be prayerful, let's hope our best is able to pull us through" was his last words to us before they walked towards the theatre.

Dec 29 (7:10pm)

At the buzz of the alarm and the switching off the red light indicating the end of a surgery, we all stood awaiting the news as  a couple of nurses accompanying the surgeons strolled out of the theatre.

The Orthopedic surgeon spoke first, "The surgery was successful from I and my team part, the damage on her leg and spine wasn't severe however she might not be able to walk for a couple of weeks but it will heal up overtime.

Well that's quite some good news we turned to the neurosurgeon in hope.

He cleared his throat, "I was able to complete the procedure however the pressure on her brain was too much so we don't know what the outcome will be yet, In other words the surgery was successful however we have to see how her post surgery goes because she is currently in a temporary coma..." As those words came out of his mouth I felt tears drip down my cheeks, her mom gasped and fell back to her seat in shock.

...

I tuned in once more to the conversation, "...according to our calculations and observations, she should be awake within the next 36hrs if not it means she has slipped into an indefinite coma, and may need to be put on life support"

I was tuned out once again and all I could see was moving mouths before the finally walked away.

Dec 30th

(8:15pm)

They didn't allow any visitors because she had to be kept under observation, I felt myself shattering inside. It was funny because just five days ago, we were talking and laughing and five days later she is between life and death.

I hated it that every fucking time that I was getting closer to knowing someone and possibly finding happiness, it is always snatched from me, it was unbearable and I hated it so much, In the little time I have known Rell, I know she didn't deserve this, no eighteen year-old deserved this. It felt like my whole life was on replay, you know just over and over, it was driving me crazy...

"Britt stop it, that's the fifth anxiety pill you are downing for the past 24hrs, you are overdosing it, I promised mum and dad I would take care of you"

I swallowed the pill and sighed as I ran my hands through my hair, "I'm fine Anthony, nothing to get your panties twisted over"

He rolled his eyes but still maintained the worried look, "I know what you're doing, stop it alright this ain't like vera's case ok, you've to let go of..."

I snapped my head towards him in anger, "stop it, I don't want to hear about this"

I stood abruptly and walked towards the elevator

"Were you going?" he hollered after me but I just shrugged in response

"So damn stubborn" he mumbled which caused me to smirk.

I headed to the exit, I badly needed a walk just to clear my head, I strolled towards the garden as I kicked a pebble along.

My stroll was cut short because not up to 20mins into the stroll I began to feel really dizzy with a banging headache so I headed back to the hospital.

Just crossing the threshold into the hospital, My legs began to wobble and the dizziness doubled before I finally gave into unconsciousness.

Beep

Beep

Beep

Beep

Goddamit! someone should put off that annoying thing it's beginning to give me an headache, I cracked my eyes open but immediately shut them because of the blinding white light, I groaned in pain and gave it another try this time open it slowly but instead of getting attacked by white light I felt myself drowning into that pair of green orbs, does emerald orbs like the greenest of dales.

I was definitely dreaming...
