Age Of Innocence (AOI) [Sequel To IR]

Chapter 55 } The Alone Truth

So... I decided to triple update because this chapter sucks so I figured why not just get it over with I guess. :/
🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮
Part 1:
Ala's POV
Is was one o'clock in the morning, Tessa had slept over after my break down from hearing Matthew's apology. I wanted to go back to him so badly, but I didn't want to go back to the horrible circumstances that were happening there. And truthfully, I was scared. Who knows what would happen once he actually saw me, he would probably get mad again, and hurt me. I'm scared of him, and that's the truth. I didn't want to be, and I knew if he figured out I was scared of him, he would be so angry at himself. I didn't like the fact, that in ways, I controlled him. I know that makes me sound full of myself. But he's in love with me, that's the truth. And when people are in love they aren't the same. And when guys are in love, they completely revolve themselves around the person they love, they don't know another way. It's always been that way, the men would go out to war and protect their woman. That's just the nature of things, that's how it's been, that's how it always will be. But in ways that's not a good way, because in the process of loving a girl, they loose themselves, I've seen it happen so many times, I don't want it to happen to Matthew. I don't want him to loose his amazing witty jokes, I don't want him to loose his enormous caring heart, I don't want him to loose the side of him that loves everything, I don't want him to loose his incredibly sensitive side, and surprisingly, I don't want him to loose Spike. Spike is a part of him, and I love every part of him, fully and completely. I just love Matthew Espinosa.

I was awoken, along with Tessa by her phone ringing. At first I thought it was my phone, but then I remember I didn't have it anymore. I really should get a new one. She sat up rubbing her eyes looking more annoyed than I've ever seen her.
"What he hell does he want?" She groaned turning on her phone being shocked by the sudden light illuminating the dark room. "What!" She said angrily when she answered. I laid back down covering my face with a pillow attempting to go back to sleep. "What? Nash, calm down, I can barely understand you." She said in more of a worried tone this time. I sat up again confused. "Are you serious, what happened?" She seemed extremely worried, which only worried me. "How am I supposed to tell her?" Well shit, who else would her be but me. Great just more bad news, when will it stop. "Are you sure?" She looked at me with sympathy, I looked at her with the 'just get it over with' face. "Okay." She sighed and handed me the phone without a word.
"Nash?" I could feel my pulse quicken as I knew I was so close to bad news.
"Ala." He said sadly.
"What happened?"
"After you hung up with Matthew. He like totally stressed out and stuff, and his blood pressure went really high. He was so sad that you weren't coming back. And when he was sleeping he um..." Nash had such a tone of sadness. I could already feel the tears in my eyes, even though I didn't know what was happening still.
"Just spit it out Nash." I begged. "Please just get it over with."
"He slipped into a coma." I wanted to throw the phone so badly. Tessa could tell, she confiscated it from me and said bye to Nash before hanging up and immediately hugging me. I tried so hard not to cry. It didn't work. Who knew when he would wake up, it could be years. What if he dies before I even get to say goodbye. What if I never see his beautiful smile again. Only his eye lids. I sobbed into Tessa as I sensed the lights turn on. And I felt two more pairs of arms cling around me. My mother, and Kassie. They didn't even know why I was crying. And I felt so worthless sitting here wondering if I would ever see his face bright and alive again. I wouldn't mind him hurting me again, it would mean he's awake. But I was completely overreacting wasn't I? Some comas only last a couple days, like mine. It was like three days, his could be less. But I just couldn't help but feel so alone at this very moment, even with six arms wrapped around me in support. Without Matthew, I was alone. I had no one without him. I was no one without him. And I knew, if he didn't wake up, that would be the end. I wouldn't dare go back to L.A. I wouldn't dare go back on social media. I wouldn't dare talk to anyone. I would only be how I felt right now. Alone.
