SIN

CHAPTER 18

Stained
Selena Gomez

woke up lazily, I felt the rumbling of my stomach, God am hungry!

I saw Danny looking at me and I hastily stood up from his laps.

"Habibah, I know this is not the right time for me to be apologizing or making up for my mistakes, I just ask that you please hear me out and let's sought all our misunderstandings.

I have realised my mistakes for leaving you alone but I just ask that you forgive me, you have all rights to be annoyed at me...."

"you are right about that Danny, I have every possible right to do a lot of things but that's the least of my worries right now. I don't want to talk about this in front of my child, thanks a lot for been here when I needed you"

I stood up and walk towards the door and holding it ajar, I continued;

" you got what you wanted and you left, I needed a shoulder to cry on and I got yours I think it's high time you left.
I know we cannot be even in making it up to each other but I demand that you stop stalking me and continue your life as the coward that you are."

I watch him rise from his seat coming towards me.

"I know exactly how you are feeling and I know I am the cause of every pain you are going through. I will always be by your side when you need a shoulder again or maybe a cheek to strick and like I said, you have every right to be mad at me.
say hello to Gerald when he wakes and please, don't forget the flowers."

with that said, he walked past me living only the scent of his cologne to remind me of him.
I silently returned to sit beside Geraldine, his breathing was normal but he hasn't opened his eyes.

Three weeks since I last saw Danny and today he shows up at the hospital right when I needed someone.
He deserved more than the reaction he got from me, I was too broken to yell at him, too tired to cry. No matter how badly I wanted to remain in his arms, I can never show him again, the weakening effect he has in me.

"Baby how you feeling?"

"I feel better mom, why are your eyes so red?"

"Mommy couldn't get much sleep, but not to worry everything is going to be okay."

I couldn't explain the joy I feel seeing my Dine awake again, the doctor had said we are ready to be discharged as soon as he takes his afternoon shots and finishes the leather of drip attached to the back on his palm.

"Mom?"

"Yes, babe."

"Where is daddy?"

"Daddy must be at work, I wasn't able to call him to tell him about the incident."

"Why?"

"Well because I was totally in a state of panic when I was informed about your health. I will call him first thing when we get home. Promise."

He was sad about that I could tell from the way his expression changed.

"Oh, Mr MacLeish said to give you this."

I strode to the table at the end of his bed.

"How thoughtful of Mr Daniel, was he here last night?"

"Yes dear."

"You got to call him but not dad?"

"I didn't, he received the news of your illness without me knowing how."
