Stef and Lena (MyLove)❤️

47

STEF'S POV:

I know I have to be strong for the both of us, have faith for the two of us but it was hard. I found it so hard having faith when my wife couldn't even breathe by herself. She was so unresponsive and it was hard to watch everyday. This was the sixth day of her being in her, almost a week and yet not one single sign of progress.

"Why don't you get some clothes, and a shower and a nap, and come back later" Dana said to me.

I had been there every day, every night. Sleeping in the arm chair beside her bed. My mother had occasionally stepped in to deliver clothes and basic necessities, to see how Lena is coping, to give her love and support, but Dana was right, it was time I had a nap in my own bed, shower in my own shower, and get comfortable in my own clothes.

"Ok, I'll be back in a few hours, please...don't..." I started unable to finish.

"I'll be hear until you return, I'm not going anywhere I promise" Dana reassured me promising me Lena will have someone with her 24/7.

I arrived at my house, a house that felt so alone when she wasn't in it. I immediately threw my keys onto the small island table in the very small kitchen and headed down the hall to the bathroom. I turned the water to fully hot and stepped in allowing my worries and concerns to be drowned. I soak up all the steam, and water resting on my body and cry deeply in the shower.

I broken down worse than ever before, I rested my head against the tiled wall as my body continues to be covered by the spraying of the shower water.

I turned the shower off reaching for my towel. To dry my stained tears away and wrap around my drenched body.

After throwing on scruffy yet comfortable clothes, like my sweatpants and t shirt. I sit on my bed lifting my iPad. I hadn't been on social media at all, or read the news, or my assignment for work even though I had taken some time off to be with Lena.

"Holy shit" I say aloud as I tap on BBC news. An article that blew me away. An article that quite possibly caused all this.

'Our top selling author Elizabeth Adams: true identity revealed before a major car accident' was the headline. Followed by a photo of her for everyone to recognise as Lena. A school teacher and an author.

Shit, no way. She was being followed, journalists taking photos of her, this all makes sense now. She was being followed, being taken photos of and she was scared. My poor baby was scared. So she skipped a red light and the car smashed into her. Oh my goodness. My poor sweetness.

I continued to read other articles and comments people had made, people recognise her.

•'No way, she's my professor, keep fighting Mrs Adams-Foster'
•'I've seen her in the coffee shop, she's so talented'
•'My fave author lives downstairs from me, hope she's better soon.'

All these comments were good, they were supporting Lena and not one of these comments were bad. They all wished for her to get well soon and was proud of her as an author. And so was I.

I woken up at 3pm, I didn't even know I drifted asleep, but I got around 4 hours sleep which felt refreshing. I had to get back to the hospital though. To see how my baby was doing.

I get all my things together and step out the apartment seeing paparazzi.

"EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU KNOWN AS SALLY FROM LENA ELIZABETH ADAMS BOOK?" They ask all towering over me taking a photo.

I didn't know how to answer, how she'd want me to answer. I simply covered my face and barged through them entering my car and driving away.

I arrived at the hospital around 4pm. Seeing Dana had not moved from beside her.

"Thank you, I needed that. You should sleep at home too for the night" I suggested Dana should go home to rest, and to come back tomorrow morning. Feeling refreshed and hopeful.

"Ok, I'll call you tonight" she said hugging me tightly as I held my tears back not wanted to break down again.

"Ok, I'll ring if anything happens"

I watched her leave and soon after the nurse enters.

"Hey" I said standing up to hear what news she had.

"So Lena has been unconscious for a week now with no heart beat of her own, if this continues for much longer, I think decisions and goodbyes will need to be made, I know it's hard but we can't have her suffering and relying on a machine to keep her alive, she needs to fight and if she can't do that herself then the best thing to do is let her go and be in peace"
