"So, you're basically saying that my fiancee has just woke up from a coma, I'm six months pregnant with his child and he doesn't remember me?" I say as my life falls apart.
I can hear my heart breaking, my life is falling apart. My mom found out a few minutes after we've left, she got there and he asked her what she is doing there. He recognised her just as Robert's mother. After that, she got on the first flight and came here.
"I'm so sorry, Char," mom says and hugs me as I sit down on the bed and cry. I cry in her shirt for a while until someone knocks.
"I'll go," mom whispers and goes to open the door.
I hear Robert asking her why she is here, she tells him that it's an emergency. He asks if I'm ready to go to dinner and she just tells him that I've already eaten. She closes the door before he can say anything more.
"What did the doctor say?" I ask her as she sits down beside me again
"He said that it's possible. But that doesn't mean that he won't remember you when he'll see you," she tries to comfort me but is not really successful
"See me?" I ask horrified. A few hours ago I'd kill to see him but now I don't think I can face him
"Yeah, the doctor said that everything is okay. He can walk and doesn't have any big injuries. All the bones that have been broken are healed now, I talked to Ellen in the cab and she said that he wants to come here. The doctor has no reason to keep him in the hospital, he'll probably be here by Saturday. Maybe even tomorrow," she explains as the darkness falls on my eyes. I can't even imagine seeing him not now not ever.
"Does the coach know?" I ask her as someone else knocks on the door. Mom goes to open the door as I lay down.
"Charlotte," I hear the coach. I guess my question just got answered. I move back into the sitting position and look at him.
"I'm really sorry. His mother just called me and told me everything. He's going to be here tomorrow by lunch, his mother is coming with him just in case anything else happens. I need you to know that you can do whatever you want to do, you can leave if you want. But if you decide to stay I'd like to try what would happen if you'd talk to me as a team's psychologist," he suggests, I just shake my head and bury my face in my hands
"No, I can't let this. She's already suffered enough," mom says and comes and sits down beside me. She puts an arm around me and I put my head on her shoulder.
"If you change your mind you know where I am. I'm going to call a team meeting you don't have to come," he just adds and leaves my room
I lay back down and cry into the pillow while my mother caresses my hair. I don't remember who and when but someone came knocking on my door but my mom handled it, I just know that at some point I fell asleep.
"What are we supposed to do? Keep her in her room all day? She can't leave, she's part of the team and I need her to be here. Maybe we can convince her to do what the coach said, maybe we should let her talk to him to see how much he actually knows about her," I hear a familiar voice explaining. I listen if someone will answer and someone does
"No, absolutely not. You can't do this to her! She loves him with all her heart, she's pregnant with him. It'd only hurt her even more," I hear another familiar voice. I open my eyes and turn around. I move into a sitting position and look around. I see mom and Robert in the middle of the room arguing.
"I'm going to do it," I say. They both turn and look at me, mom comes closer and starts telling me that it may not be good for the baby but I ignore her.
"I'm going to do it but I need something to eat before. I'm starving," I say and get out of bed.
I change into a casual outfit and brush my hair and teeth. I know that everyone in the team is going to be looking at me and no one is going to know what to say but I honestly don't care anymore. I lost everything, the only thing I have is my baby and I won't let anyone take my baby away from me. I go to breakfast with Robert and mom by my side.
"It's going to be okay, sweetie," Kenneth says as he hugs me when we get to our table
"Please don't say that," I say and sit down opposite of him. I see how Robert goes to talk to the coach to tell him about my decision and I see the coach looking at me with a worried face.
I eat my breakfast in peace without anyone talking to me as I expected. Nobody is really sure what to tell me or ask me without hurting me or making it sound wrong.
"I am still your friend, Charlotte," Kenny says as I finish my breakfast and I slightly laugh
"Yeah, you are but as soon as he'll be here you're going to put him first," I say and walk out of the restaurant. My mom follows me to the elevator where we stop and wait for it to come.
"O God, Charlotte," she says and I look at her. I see the way she's staring and look there. I see just Ellen getting out of the cab but I know that he's somewhere there so I just push the elevator button a hundred times more until it comes.
I'm not feeling safe until the elevator's door shut and nobody is in there except for me and my mom. I get to my room and go in before anyone could come after me.
