Where I belong.

Part 37 - The hospital

I was woken by a ray of light from somebody opening curtains. I felt a finger brush my cheek and I turned to see who it belonged to. Goodness, it hurt to even turn my head.

It was Bandz. He looked at me with so much love in his eyes.

"Gwen?" He said.
"Baby?"
"Look at you. Look at what you've done to yourself." he whispered with tears in his eyes.
"I know." I started sobbing.
There was a moment of silence.

"Where were you going?"
"I was going to grandmama."
"No. The accident was near the house. That's not where you left grandmama, remember?" There was so much compassion in his voice.

Then it occurred to me that I may have been so deep in my thoughts that I wanted to go back home to him.

"Bandz?"
"Yes?"
"I'm so sorry." I cried.
"It's okay. It's okay." he whispered.
"I love you, I don't mean to hurt you. I-I-I"
before I could finish,  John walked in.

"Oh my sweetheart." He rushed to me, moving Bandz away from me.
"Baby?" I said to John.
"Are you okay? What happened?"
"I don't know."
"You will be out of here in no time."
"The car. I'm sorry. I ruined it."
"That's the least of our worries. I will get another one. As long as you're alive. I need my wife back home."

"She's not your wife yet." Bandz chirped in.
"Oh yeah? Well soon she will be. See? She's wearing my ring. She was driving MY car. She's living in MY mansion. She gets what she wants from ME. Anything you have to add on to that?"

Bandz said nothing and he turned to face the window.

"Baby. I have a meeting out of the country. I will make sure you're well taken care of. David will pick you up and take you back to the mansion as soon as you're healed."
"Alright." my heart sank.
"I love you." he said as he left.
I didn't respond to that.

Bandz turned to look back at me.
"Is that the life you have settled for? I love you? I'm out of the country?"
"I don't want to talk about it, please not now."

As if that couldn't get worse,Tiffany walked in.

"What is he doing here?" she looked at Bandz.
"He came to see me."
"No, Gwen. You are getting married to a high profile bachelor.  You can't be seen with your ex in hospitals"
"Paparazzi doesn't know I'm here."
"Right?" she pulled out her phone and I saw the news on Twitter and Facebook.
"Oh my goodness." I whispered.
"Exactly. Now Bandz I think you should leave."

"You have no shame,Tiffany." he said to her.
"Leave. You did nothing but ruin her life." Tiffany yelled.

I watched as Bandz took his leather jacket and walked out of my ward.

"What was that for Tiffany!"
"Why is he here when you're getting married?  No!"

I shook my head and rolled over painfully to sleep.
