Dricki: Boyfriend For Hire

Chapter 16

I was here for more than twenty four hours. Actually, it was Tuesday's daybreak. It was horrible, and the food here was just nasty. I know I was just here to see a patient but would it kill them to offer me more than a lemon gelatine.

But I thank them for getting a gurney for me to sleep next to Aubrey at the ICU and visiting hours were non exiting to me. A nurse even commented that we look like some movie actors, my dedication was praiseworthy and my love for my fiancé was beautiful.

Since I've been here, Justine's been trying talk me into going home for a bit and get myself together but I wasn't having it, even my relatives.

That's right, Nicole's big mouth had to tell the whole family about what happen, so basically another reunion was held at the hospital. Some of my cousins liked Aubrey right way, they swore to find the person who this to him and teach them a lesson. If the only knew... But having my aunts and uncles, cousins and even my grandma here was more than I could ask for. Of course some of them came for the gossip but I couldn't care less. They made me feel better about myself.

What's weird os that there was no visitors from his side. No family, no friends. The nurse said there was a man who came to see him just through the windows while I was with my family but that was it. No visitors, no calls, no claiming, no nothing. It makes him seem lonely, solo riding, him, his bike and his puppy.

This whole time I've been beside him, observing and thinking, I realised a few things. This man who came in my life out of the blue without a white horse or a shining armour, invaded this little box that holds feelings that I've been hiding in the deep for so long. Being beside him made me feel like I was fifteen again, he makes me laugh, me irritates me, he makes me remember this world was more than black and white. Even if I don't know him that much, even knowing he hides things, big things, I was feeling him.

I couldn't stop daydreaming about him. More like dreaming, awaken by light mumbles.

I raise my head from the small puddle of drool I had created to see Aubrey's still purple and swollen eyelids moving, fighting to stay open. The medication had ran out for a couple of hours now and the doctor had warned that he should wake up at any time.

"Oh my god, I'm gonna get someone."

In a mix of excitement and relief I get up running out the door to find a nurse. I may have knocked a few medication carts on the process.

"Nicki, is everything's aright?" One asks as soon as she saw there. I had found a few of them together on a basic break but this was an emergency.

"He... He woke up!"

"Well that was fast... I'll call the doctor right away. Go back to him."

I did as I was told. Suddenly my mind was blank and preoccupation took over me. What am I suppose to say or act in front of him. Here it goes nothing.

When I reach his side, I freeze. He was laying there, staring down at me. And even with a face full of bruises and colours, I could see he wasn't up to saying good things, his mouth wasn't in a happy shape either.

"I called a year and the doctor for you" I said.

"What are you doing here?" Low, but cold.

"I'm your companion." I stay still. He looks furious, must the the side of effects of the medication.

"No, you're not."

"Of course I am. I'm your fiancée." This lie was already in the top on the tongue.

"Fiancée? NO? You're just s crazy that stuck up with me!" He did a face to accompany the yelling which for my luck it hurt him to it.

"Don't call me crazy! Cause you too agreed to do this."

"Ah, so now it's my fault? You tried to kill me! You shot me. You. Shot. Me!"

"I DIDN'T TRY TO KILL YOU! It was a fucking m accident. And I saved your life." I can yell too.

"Saved my life?" He sarcastically laughs. "You ruined it. I've waited four years for that moment and you did what? YOU FUCKED UP EVERYTHING!"

"My mother was in danger because of you. I just went to take her outta the shit you put her through. At least I didn't let you die there like a nobody. You're being ungrateful."

"Oh right, I forgot to thank you for the bullet you gave me. I'm gonna tell the world the great Nicki Minaj shot me!" He says that last part raising his voice back.

"Stop being a douchebag! If you weren't so full of yourself we wouldn't even be in this situations."

"Don't even try to turn the table on me. Thus is all your fault. It wasn't me who had to hire a boyfriend because I had a dull life and full looks. No, that's you! If you like the way you look that much, you should go and love yourself. The only thing you then about, yourself. You have NO idea of the shit you did and, and..." In an frustrating movement, he rubs his fingers through his hair as he fights the tears that were threading to leave his eyes. "You know what, just get out! want you gone, away from me. I never wanna see you again. GET OUT!"

I rather be hit by a thousand blocks.

His words were so harsh, I felt my heart tightening. It took the nurse who I called earlier and has just arrived with the doctor to take me out of there as I was in big shock. I was left in the hallway. While the doctor took care of Aubrey.

My mind was deeply sinking into his words, spat merciless. He was right. It is my fault. It's all my fault. I had caused all of Aubrey's pain. He was right in not wanting to ever see me again.

I slowly walk out of the place. Outside, I take a look one last time at the rooms' windows before getting in s taxi to get home.

And I made a decision. If it works, all I need is a extinguisher and everything goes back to the way it was.
