"Why didn't you answer her call?" Tara is being an investigator right now

"Because she will convince me over and over again to go back to their mansion" I nearly screamed "I'm tired Tara. I'm so fucking tired of the cycle. It doesn't mean that I gave up already, I am weak. It only simply means that I've already been strong enough for a very long time" tears started forming around my eyes

"Sh..." Now she is trying to sush me

We arrived at our appartment after 20 minutes. I immediately went in the comfort room and face the clear mirror. Eye liner stains are all over my face due to my tears. I immediately wash my face and wipe my dried tears. I change my dress into a sleeping gown, brush my teeth, and went to bed.

When I woke up the next morning, Tara is all prepared to go to her work. She cooked our breakfast.

"How long was I asleep?" I asked with my morning voice

"Too long" she snap her head into my direction

"What time is it?" I ask

"9" my best friend simply answered

I chuckled knowing that I was asleep for a very long time. I got out of bed in time for Tara to go out for work.

"I'll go now" Tara smiled

"Good luck" I smiled back and with that she left

Suddenly, something popped on my phone. It's the reminders. Shit. I totally forgot about the job I'm applying for. The interview will be around 10. I hurriedly went in the bathroom and took a quick shower. I put on my best clothes, took the important papers, took a bite on the egg, got my keys, phone, and left the house.

I went in my car, turn the ignition on, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Maura's P.O.V

It's already evening and Niall has been transferred into his private room. Right now, I'm sitting on the couch waiting for my son to open his eyes. I can feel that Niall was sick because of Diana, and I'm not mad about it. I know they both have their own sides and I do not plan in interfering, cause I'm afraid that it will end up me and Niall fighting and I don't want that to happen.

I've been calling Diana, since a while ago, and she hasn't even answered a single call. Is their main problem really a big problem, because if not, then why would both of them act this way?

You know, I already learned to love Diana like my own daughter. I know how my son really loves her and it kills me seeing both of them fighting. I decided to call Niall's dad.

"Hello?" His raspy voice answered

"Hun, I have something to tell you" I stood up from the couch and look out the window, watching the busy cars moving around New York and the skyscrapers sparkles under the moon shine

"What is it?" His dad asked

"If you aren't busy tonight, could you please come here at the hospital?" I requested

I can hear his heavy sigh and replied, "You know, I am busy with our company"

"Why can't you just visit your son? You are always thinking about money" he is making me so pissed

"I'm sorry for making a living!" He shouted

With that, I hang up the phone and glance at my son, who is still resting. The door flew open and one of our family security showed up.

"Madame, I'm afraid that you are already hungry. Would you mind if I bring you some food?" The security asked

"I won't mind at all. Please bring some in the room" I nod

Another security came in the room holding 2 plastic bags with foods inside. I immediately ate the food.

"Thanks!" I look at our security and he immediately put the trash away "Can you please go back to our house and tell Darcy to pack some of Niall's clothes. Add some of my clothes as well, thank you" I added

"Yes! Madame" the security left

Niall hasn't woke up yet. I'm really getting worried. After a few minutes, our security came with our stuff and left afterwards. I change my clothes into more comfortable ones and decided to sleep on the couch. Maybe, Niall will wake up tomorrow.

I'm really exhausted, didn't even care if it is my first time to sleep on the couch. I wouldn't bother, because Niall needs me and I want to be the first one that he will see when he wakes up.

The next morning I got up with a soft pillow under my head and a smooth, white blanket around my body. That's weird because I don't remember a time when I have a pillow under my head and a blanket around my body. I got up from the couch and stretch my whole body.

Eh? Where did the fruit basket came from? I started walking straight to where the fruit basket was placed, and look at the card.

Get well soon, son!
I'm sorry, I couldn't be there when you wake up. It's just that I have to make sure that I could earn a lot of money for our family.
- Dad

So, Niall's father came last night. I noticed a white, thick envelope placed at the side of the fruit basket with a labeled that says 'For The Bills'. I open the envelope and a bunch of money bundles are placed inside.

I grab a mug and pour the coffee in it. I was in the middle of enjoying my coffee when I heard Niall coughed. I put the mug on the counter and went beside Niall.

"Honey, Niall?" I asked making sure if he is awake already

I watch Niall's eyes as it fluttered open. He look at me.

"Thank god! You are now awake!" I gave him a tight hug

(Eeek! Niall is now awake! What do you think guys? Please comment and vote. I think this book will end soon, so please keep reading. I wanna say hi to my bestfriend TheRainGuardian . I miss you lianne! :) thank you for reading guys. Love y'all)
