Back to December Book 2

Chapter 37:

"What's your relation to Anastasia Haley?" the nurse asked with a stoic face. "I'm her sister." I answered, clenching my sweaty hands.

"Follow me." I did, trying not to stumble or fall. I was dizzy as hell, and my vision was getting blurry from the tears forming in my eyes.

The nurse led us into the ward pulled back the curtain. The sight instantly killed me. Ana was there, lying motionless on a bed with the bandages and wires.

Almost falling to my knees, bringing my hands up to my face as the tears spilled over. Alf's arms were around me within seconds, pulling me to his chest. He didn't say anything, just let me cry and pound his chest. Because I'm an emotional mess.  

I could hear my agonizing sobs, the beeping of the heart monitor. Alfie's arms wraps around my waist and pulling me up against him. I grasp on him hurt, my nails digging into his skin through his shirt. But he didn't dare stop or push me away. I love this man.

I don't know how long I sat there, crying out from the pain my heart was going through.

"F- Fel?" Ana's voice shakes. I sighed in relieve. "I'm so sorry I didn't save you," I said while squeezing her hand. A nurse comes in and checked on Ana.

"Anastasia might need to stay in the hospital for weeks. She's still very weak. Visiting hours are going to be over soon."

I nodded, "I'm sorry I didn't save you. I'm sorry, I love you so much Ana." I whispered while kissing Ana's forehead. "It's not your fault sis, don't worry. I love you too." she managed to reply.

Alfie then held my waist as we walked out of the hospital. As we walked out of the hospital door, mom rushed in.

"How's Ana?" she rushed.

"Where were you mom? How could you leave Ana alone." I said angrily. "I had alot of work. I'm very busy."

"Leaving your schizophrenic husband alone with your daughter, you really don't care about your daughters at all don't you? You didn't even care about me when dad literally threw a pot to my head. And now Ana got shot by him, are you happy mom?" I said in between sobs. I pulled Alfie and rushed to the car.

The car ride home was rather silent until I broke into tears. "Alfie. I didn't save my sister. She's in pain Alf. I could have gotten shot. I don't even care. I want Ana to be safe. I didn't save Ana, I'm such a useless sister, dad should have shot me inst-"

"Fel, listen to me. It already happened. There's no point of talking about what could have happened. It shouldn't even happen. Don't talk about it. You're carrying our little precious babies. You don't want them to get hurt, don't you? I don't want to see you getting hurt either."

My heart was in so much pain. My eyes hurts as well. I thought I was done with having misery that's done by dad. Why did I even forgive him in the first place.
