I woke up and felt a cold hand touching my face, mom? Mom, what is she doing here? I opened my eyes and tried to swallow but it hurt, so I stopped and a doctor walked in. She smiled nodding at the nurse who pulled out the pipe in my mouth making me take a deep, difficult breath trying not to throw up and like the last time, two more doctors rechecked everything making sure I am not going to die.
Mom just sat there watching me with tears in her eyes making me also want to cry, I hate seeing my mother cry. I hate worrying her, man, everything hurts and the doctors finally left giving my mom space, she wiped her cheeks and walked up to me and brushed my forehead then kissed it and just held my face her forehead on mine, she smiled kissing my cheek then my forehead.
"Kungani uzama...".(Why are you trying...?).
"You scared me!".
Mom laughed moving back."Umemezelani?".(why are you shouting?).
"Ngoba uhlezi enza izinto ezinobulima phakathi!".(Because she's always doing stupid things).
I chuckled."I love you too".
Owami literally started crying and I do not mean the lady, normal crying, I mean she just stood there crying making me laugh which hurt my ribs. I will have another scar to add on the ones I already have, I'll definitely look like a gangster or something. Everyone else got in, Lwazi walked up to me kissing my cheek making me smile and he brushed my head.
Parker sighed standing by the door, I looked over at him and he just smiled, so did I, Kyle hugged Owami who still hasn't stopped crying. They had a thing once, yikes. Luke and Damien stood side by side making me smile, would you look at that and dad walked in and I swear even the air changes when he is around, he walked up to me.
"Unjani ntombi?".(How are you girl?).
"I hate it when you call me that".
"Ngiyajabula ukubona ukuthi uyalulama".(I'm happy to see you're healing).
I just smiled and he took mom's hand then tapped the top of my head making me frown, my dad is weird and the fact that he just tapped my head makes it worse. I don't even remember the last time he hugged me or any of us except mom who looked up at Luke and Damien.
"We'll give you three some space".
And they walked out leaving Damien and Luke, Damien just stood there and Luke walked up to me, he looked up at the machines then down to my neck the scars showing more because of the hospital light and the hospital dress. He swallowed hard and I just stared up at him then Damien then him again.
"Hey guys".I broke the ice.
"I'm so sorry, I...".
"Please punch him for me".
Luke actually smiled looking up at Damien then me."Does it hurt?".
"A little, I have been stabbed before, Damien please don't make me come there to get you, it really hurts".
"Don't get up! You'll hurt yourself".
He then walked up to us and stood besides Luke."So, what did you tell them?".
"You got robbed, no hijacked".
"Which one is it a robbery or a hijacking?".
Luke smiled again."You're your father, hijacking".
"My father is so gonna be pissed when he finds out I was never hijacked, why did you choose hijacking though? My dad is going to kill you".
"Hijacking was the first thing that came to mind".
