"Ziana im so sorry... its roman."

No.

No!

"What happened to roman elijah." his silence caused me to stop breathing for only too long, the only love that I actually have, the only love that I have ever known... is about to be ripped away from me and by now I am too tired to even shed a tear about it.

Is there something I did to offend God? Is there something I did to hurt him in some way that all things good get taken away from me soon? or is this my own fault because I fell in love with somebody that I hadn't prayed about. Either way whatever I'm about to hear something I can't handle for another second.

I lean back in my wheelchair rolling it over to my bed trying to prepare myself for whatever Elijah's face is going to say. How much worse can it get than him leaving me, what has he already decided to have another wife to fulfil his families will? Or has he been cheating on me all this time?

"Let me help you ziana..." Elijah puts out his hands trying to help me but i swat them away. if he is going to ruin me i don't need him to try and sweeten the deal.

"Elijah, i love you but if you dont tell me what happened to roman you will be the one needing the surgery next." I groan lifting my body onto the lowered hospital bed, my eyes never leave his own for a second as he bites his bottom lip to stop the nerves from flowing,

"I think i am going to dye my hair a dark brown again what do you think?" I would throw the pillow at his dreadhead if i wasn't so sore so my dark gaze will have to be enough for now.

He walks over to the bed, his teasing coming to a quick end when he takes a seat beside me on the bed. He sighs tossing his head back longing this torture for much longer than it ever needed to be in the first place.

"Ziana... When i went to see roman the other day he told me something that-"

"Ziana?" My whole body freezes, dangerous tears dripping down my face without any type of warning.

Roman.

I can't believe what I'm seeing, i have to squint a little to even make sure i am not day dreaming, or maybe having a nightmare would be a better term. The love of my life covered from head to toe in scars, bruises, scabs all over his arms, his neck, his ankles any part of him that is visible to my eyes.

Elijah's eyes only too close to popping out of his head as he stares over at roman in complete shock. he gets up looking at me then at him again as if this can't actually be going on and I am the same.

His beautiful face is swollen from the top of his head that is scarred with a long line from his forehead covered slightly by a strand of his hair that falls over it. the line is followed by stains of dry blood that lead all the way down to his eyebrow stopping just at his eyelid.

"You're safe." He utters, looking at me from head to toe with such gratefulness. Im safe? how can he be thinking about my safety after all that he has clearly gone through? how can i be the first thing on his mind after it looks like he has been warring with the devil himself.
