Heartbeat - Part 2

Adelaide's POV:

When I woke up again, Selena was sitting next to me with a worried and sad look on her face. I could tell that something was wrong.

Adelaide: w-where am I
Selena: you're in the hospital Adelaide
Adelaide: w-why
Selena: because you fainted

Right in this moment my parents entered the room and they also had a sad look on their faces. God what was going on I thought.

Vanessa: * sad * hey sweetie, how are you feeling
Adelaide: I'm okay I think but what's wrong with me

They both sat down on my bed, my mom took my hand as she began to tell

Vanessa: * sighs * Adelaide we need to tell you something...something very important
Robert: but it isn't easy to tell you this
Vanessa: you remember the pills you had to take every day
Adelaide: * nods confusingly *
Vanessa: * looks down * well we lied when we said it was for your house-dust allergy
Adelaide: mom what are you talking about
Robert: * sighs * what we're trying to tell you is...
Vanessa: * takes a deep breath * that you have...a heart defect...
Robert: that's why you have to take these pills and that's why you fainted

A heart defect...I couldn't believe it...why me...why...I was sad, shocked and angry at the same time. Angry because my parents lied to me all these years

Vanessa: * sad * sweetie please say something

But I couldn't...I couldn't speak at the moment, the only thing I did was cry...crying my eyes out

Robert: * strokes her hair * sweetie...shh don't cry

But suddenly I got angrier and pushed them away

Adelaide: DON'T TOUCH ME!!!
Vanessa: * sighs * sweetie...please
Adelaide: HOW COULD YOU LIE TO ME ALL THESE YEARS!!!
Selena: Adelaide please calm down
Adelaide: AND YOU DID...YOU KNOW IT ALL THE TIME!!!
Selena: * looks down with tears rolling down *
Adelaide: I can't believe it

I cried more and more, how could they lie to me how could they pretend everything was fine. I mean it's my heart, my problem, I was so disappointed

Adelaide: * whispers * get out
Vanessa: * gets tears in her eyes * sweetie...
Adelaide: NO GET OUT AND DON'T CALL ME SWEETIE ANYMORE, ONLY MY MOM IS ALLOWED TO DO THAT BUT YOU'RE NOT MY MOM BECAUSE SHE WOULD'VE NEVER LIED TO ME LIKE THAT!!!

With that they all left the room, was I too harsh I thought. No they deserved everything. This night I had to stay at the hospital and I have to say it was the most horrible night I've ever had. I hadn't stopped crying since I told my parents to leave. My chest hurts like hell, despite the pills the pain didn't stop. I needed my parents so much at this time but I was too stubborn to call them. The next morning the pain was finally gone and I was allowed to leave the hospital. I had to promise the doctor that I will take the pills every day. He said if I forget to take them I will die, after that I went to the park to think about everything. What if I really do that...forget to take the pills, what if the pills don't help me anymore. All these questions made me crazy, I also thought about going back to my parents but I couldn't. I just couldn't do that...I was senseless, my life was ruined, forever. It made no sense anymore, I mean I just can't deal with it...a heart defect. My tears rolled down my cheeks again, I sat down on a bench and continued crying badly I didn't know what to do. Back to all these liars...never...suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.
