I Trusted You

Chapter 81.

Jasleena

He left. Not sure where but he really left. Everything he said left me feeling even worse. I never realized how much I compared things to Jacob. How much I feared Luka changing like Jacob did. Luka wasn't Jacob and never would he ever be. I don't want to lose him. He's my happy place. I needed to talk to him. But maybe when we get back home.

A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. I murmured a come in. It was my mom. "Leena." She rushed to my side. Hugging me she asked, "Luka went to the cafe, you guys ok? He seemed upset." I sighed. "I think I screwed up." I brought my head down because all I wanted to do was hide. "What do you mean?" I sighed again. "I walked in on a female kissing him and instead of letting him explain, I went home, packed a bag and came here." She gasped. "So it wasn't just a surprise visit." I internally face palmed. Because out of all things said that's what she responded to. "Apparently, she threw herself at him and that's when I walked in. And me being me I quickly assumed the worst. And now he's hurt because I practically keep comparing him to Jacob and I don't mean to ma but it's so hard. I'm scared you know." I was crying again. She hugged me. "Maybe you both just need to sit down and talk." I nodded as I wiped my eyes. There was a quick knock and the doctor walked in. "Hello there Ms. Miles. How are you currently feeling?" I shrugged, "Could be better." He chuckled, "Well, everything seems to be ok. You are a lot closer to labor and stressful situations aren't good for you or the baby. You can even go into preterm labor." I looked at the doctor completely shocked, but nodded. He said a few other things and said I'd be discharged in a few hours.

I began to think it was time I just stood away from everyone for a while, at least until I gave birth to Lila. "Ma, I think I'm just going to stay home until I have Lila. I love you guys but every time I come to visit, something happens and I end up here." I signaled around the hospital room. "If you guys want to come visit every weekend you are more than welcome. But I think for Lila's sake I should stay home." With a single tear running down her face she simply said, "I agree." I nodded. "I think I'm going to take a nap." She nodded, "I'll just go get myself something to snack on. Love you mija." She gave me a small smile. "Love you too ma." Then I fell asleep.
