Hunted by the past.

Give your heart a break

Lady's POV:

"Are you sure sh'ell be okay?"

I can almost hear my hunsband's voice talking to the nurse.

"She's too young to leave me"

"Don't you worry, Mr Stephen", the nurse says walking through the door. He takes my hand and kisses it.

"Be strong, honney" he says slowly.

"I'm too scared" I couldn't stop the tears anymore.

"Please don't cry, it's going to make your situation worse".

"What if I die?"

"Shhh" he cut me off holding my hand so tight "we've passed through a lot of rough thing, it's not that hard".

I'm actually so sick. The doctors didn't find what my real illness is. All I feel is that I'm always tired and I started to lose conscience every single day. Harold, my husband, has never left me. We've been married for one year. We still are young; I'm 19 years old and he still is 21. I haven't eaten for tree days and I don't fell the need to.

"You cannot stay with me here forever" I say.

"No, I have to! I have promised myself to never let you down or make you feel sad like he did".

"Please, Harold, you're not like him". And actually, my dear Harold, you don't know the truth. I was preparind myself for this moment since ever.

"Honney, I have to tell you something" I say with hesitation.

"We'll talk tomorrow, you're tired now" he says preparing himself to leave, but I grab his arm saying "It can't be left for tomorrow"

He gives me his confused look, reachs my hand squeezing his arms to comfort me and finally says "You're scaring me"

I was about to tell him the real story about Cody. All he knows is that Cody is my ex-boyfriend who broke up with me for an other girl. For real, I made up this story because I had my reasons. And obviously, Harold had never met Cody. But suddenly, the nurse comes next to my husband's ear and whisper something. He just stands up, smiles to me and walks to the door. When he leaves, I gave my eyes some rest.

Harold's POV:

I was scared when the nurse comes to me and says " The doctor wants to see you" I kiss Lady's check and follow the nurse. I knock the door and the doctor may me to come in.

"Come in, Mr Stephen"

"The nurse said you wanted to talk to me"

"It might sound nosy, but I wanted to talk about your wife's life, i mean her personal life".

"You mean her love life. Why are you asking?"

"Let me finish please. I'm talking about her life before meeting you".

"All I know, she had one boyfriend called Cody who left her for an other girl. Why are you asking?" Now I'm more scared than before.

"I'm afrad to tell you this is not the truth". The doctors looks to me like he knows every thing. The last thing I wanted to talk about is Cody.

"why are you so sure?"

"I'm a doctor and at the same time, I'm psychologist. I had a lot of patients like Mrs Stephen. They had a shock in the past and to accept the reality, they made up a story and unfourtanly, they believe on it."

"This is insane, this is unbelievable, It can't happen, It's silly..." The doctor cutt me off"The nurse had saw weird behaviour coming from Mrs Stephen; she had heard her at night talking to someone called Cody."

This name is pissing me off "I can't believe she still talk and love that bastard. He left her, how can't she don't see it? Oh my God, she's cheating on me" I get up; this so much to hold on.

"No" The doctor screams. Don't tell me now that he knows Cody that's why he's defending him "This guy, whatever he was, is not here anymore"

I turn slowly to face him; I bet this doctor enjoys playing on my nerfs.

"Do you mean...?" Of course I know what he meant. He simply nods his head. Lady can talk to deaths. That's really what is missing in this whole drama. "What should I do right now? Take her to a rehab or send her to see a someone?"

"The only person who can help her is you. She just needs to talk to someone. letting this secret go from her chest would help; the guilt of keeping secrets from you made her more sick day after day. If she didn't tell you, it could kill her."

It sounds very difficult; even we're married for one year, I feel like we're far apart. Leading Lady to open up to me seams so weird, she has never told me something about her life before meeting me, the only thing I know is Cody. then, I remember our vows; to stay with her for the good, the bad and the ugly.

"I will do anything to make her feel better." The doctor smiles to me as I'm leaving his office. I head to her room and she's sleeping. I better leave her now, she diserves some rest.

All I'm thinking about now is how pop up the subject. But first, I have to see her mother; I'm not going to tell her what the doctor had told me, I just want to know more about the mystrious Cody. After 10 minutes of driving, I'm finally at her mother's house. I stop in her front yard and head to the door. Mrs Melden is living here alone since my weeding, she raised Lady alone; Lady had never mentioned her father, actually, Lady had never mentioned someone or something from her childhood.

"Do you want an other cup of coffee, please?" Mrs Meldon askes me politely.

"No, thank you" Mrs Meldon knows that I want to ask her something so I have to speak before she would notice something "Is the name Cody familiar for you? I mean do you know someone called Cody?"

I can clearly see that she is surprised, she looks down to her cup, takes a silp of it and replies "Yes" she finally looks directly into my eyes and continues "it was Lady's ex-boyfriend from high school, why are you asking me now?"

"Umm...Lady once said his name while she was sleeping, it's not a big deal, I have to go now" I hope that Mrs Melden believed on my lie wich is obviously not; as I'm heading to the front door, Mrs Melden keeps eying me from behind. "Thank you for the coffee" She gives me a fake smile and I slap the door behind me.

I set in the car thinking of this visit. I was wrong when I though that coming here will help me because until now, I still don't have a clue about him. But suddenly, I remember something; Lady was about to tell me something. Is she going to tell me about him? All I can do now is go home and have some sleep. Tomorrow will be a tough day for all of us.
