Choosing Faith {Book 1}

What Happened?

Chapter Three

It has been 3 weeks since I’ve seen Rob and Angel, not even a phone call from them, the last time I heard from him was that we can’t see each other anymore. Things were starting to get really strange because Ang always used to call me every day no matter what but I guess they don’t wanna have anything to do with me. I had to see Rob not matter what so I got dressed and dashed out of the house. I began to run to his house, by the time I reached I was out of breath I banged down the door and I heard a voice said, “Come in!” as I opened the door inside their house was really dark. I walked up the stairs to Rob’s bedroom I heard him talking on the phone saying, “I want to see Lizzy and I want to explain everything to her but mum said it’s not safe to be around people for now but I really miss her and want her back in my life.” With that I immediately opened his door and when he saw me he flew off his bed and into a corner in his room, he said, “Liz what are you doing here? Stay back please I don’t wanna hurt you.” With that I said, “Don’t worry I trust you I just want you to tell me what’s going on PLEASE ROB I miss having you in my life so please tell me you can trust me!” Rob began to walk close to me very slowly and I began to walk to meet him, I stretched out my hand and he reached for it. When we grabbed a hold of each other’s hand we both began to smile, he then said, “I’ve missed you these past couple of weeks, my life hasn’t been the same without hearing your voice.” I immediately began to smile. I knew I felt the same way but did not want to show it I then asked, “What happened to you guys out there?” His smile then disappeared off his face and then I realized that he did not want to tell me anything, he then began to step back and went back into his corner I the said, “I need to open these windows it’s really dark in here!”  As I pushed open the double sided windows he jammed his body into the corner as if he was trying to escape the sunlight. As I watched his reaction I saw how pale his skin was looking and his eyes were a shiny grey, thinking back to when I grabbed his hand his temperature was a bit cold but I ignored that. I then began to walk close to him and with that he ran out of the room so fast it was like a flash light flicked and then off with the same speed. I was speechless I ran to the window but there was no sign of him anymore, I then walked over to Angel’s bedroom and opened the door, she too was shocked to see me also all her windows were closed and all her curtains down she ran into the corner of her room also as fast as Rob. I then asked, “Ang please tell me what happened out there,” she then replied “Nothing but Rob will tell you when the time is right now please leave PLEASE.” This was it she also wanted me out of her life, I just shook my head and walked out of her room, I then began to think carefully but the room was to dark and I began to stumble around the next thing I knew I tripped on the mat and began to tumble down the stairs it was very painful then I felt someone grabbed and pulled me by their side, my head was hurting to much from the constant banging to open my eyes. I then woke up with a gasp, I was in Rob’s bed and he was sitting on the chair watching me. I knew I was really upset because he had not told me anything he then asked, “Hey are you okay?” I tried to sit up on the bed but my head was hurting to much he said quickly, “Please Liz lay back down you’re not strong enough.” I then lay back down and before I knew it I asleep, he then woke me up and said, “Liz it’s late I think its best that you leave!” I then stood up and began to walk to the door as I was about to fall to the ground he caught me, “Thank You!” I said trying to get out of his grip. Then he whispered, “You’re still not strong enough, if you like you can spend the night and if you feel better in the morning we will talk about everything,” he then lifted me up and carried me back to the bed before I could answer. As soon as I was lying comfortably on the bed he bent over and kissed me on my head but it was hurting so much that I pushed him away and said softly but painfully, “Stop my head hurts too much but you definitely know how to try and make me feel better,” he was now smiling and whispered as he sat back down, “Get some sleep Elizabeth.”

It was morning and when I awoke and I was feeling a little better than last night when I turned he was sitting on the same chair he was sitting on when I fell asleep he was right by my side watching me I then asked, “Where did you sleep?” he then said hesitantly, “Right here.” I knew he was lying but I was not in the mood for a quarrel this morning, he knew that I was not buying that whole sleeping on the chair bit but I just took a deep breath and stood up to sit on the bed, my head was still hurting but not as bad as last night. I was still pretty banged up my arms and legs still hurt pretty bad but he held my hand and said, “I’m sorry I have been acting strange and not telling you anything it’s just I’m concerned how you will react and if me telling you will but you in danger,” I thought carefully about what he was saying but I was still in too much pain to really focus on what he was saying my body was feeling as if I was ran over by a truck or beaten with a bat by baseball players. I then dropped back down on the bed without even thinking and let out a loud, sharp scream. Rob then got up and said very concerned, “I think we should get you to a hospital, you are not supposed to be in so much pain for falling down some stairs.” I shook my head in agreement; Rob then lifted me up and was carrying me down the stairs to his car when we came upon Angel and some lady. Rob then asked softly and confused, “Mom?” Angel then asked worried, “What’s wrong with Elizabeth?” Rob replied before I could, “I’m taking her to the hospital; she fell down the stairs last night and I found her at the bottom of the stair case.” I then whispered, “Rob who is that?” he then said, “Liz this is my, I mean our mother Carmen she went away last week and now returned.” I then saw a guy walked through the door and Rob was again shocked, “Dad you’re back as well I thought you were staying for a couple more days?” I was pretty amazed I did not know that their parents were alive, last I heard they were adopted. Dylan then asked, “Robert, is this your girlfriend? The girl you have been telling us about?” with a smile Robert then replied, “Yes! This is Elizabeth, Elizabeth this is my father Dylan and my mother Carmen.” I then said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you both I’m sorry we have to meet under these terms right now.” “It’s okay!” both Carmen and Dylan said in unison. Rob then said hesitantly, “You guys can see Lizzy later but right now I need to carry her to the hospital she is in a lot of pain since the fall.” This was the first time he was so caring and I loved that about him and this is a part of him I’ll like to see all the time not the part that is afraid to tell me something and only want to keep our relationship based on secrets. Carmen insisted we leave right away to make sure I did not suffer a concussion. He laid me down on the back seat of his car and he sped off to the hospital, he kept on talking to try and keep me awake because I was beginning to drift off to a sleep. We finally reached to the hospital, I was about to come out of the car for myself but her immediately lifted me off of the floor and said, “I don’t want you walking until we find out for sure that you are 100 % fine!” I shook my head like I was getting rid of a bad dream; he then began to explain to the nurse what had happened, she then instructed Rob to carry me to the bed in room 13. The doctor then came in and asked me what’s wrong, before I can answer Rob spoke up, “When she was about to leave my home it was really dark and she tripped on the mat an tumbled down the stairs, and ever since then she sleeps a lot and is in constant pain,” I looked at him in utter shock I said softly, “How did you know this and I can’t remember one thing the only thing I remember was me talking to Angel and then she told me to leave?” He then hesitated for a moment and then answered, “Well when Angel told you to leave, she was watching you to make sure you did and when she saw you tripped she called me.” I knew he was lying to me but again I did not want to argue, the doctor then came into the room and began to examine me he twisted my arms and legs and I screamed in agony, the pain was unbearable. Rob sat in the chair beside the bed whilst the doctor continued his examination, he knew that I was in pain I could see it in his face and he could do nothing to help.
