UNEXPECTED

19.She Left Me

Heyy guys!!!❤👅
Here is an update for you
I hope you're all okay
I'm dedicating this chapter to my awesome friend TadiwaStadae who helped me come up with some ideas❤❤

"Hurry up kids or we'll be late for the hospital visit!!"

This was my mother shouting on top of her voice ,I can hear noise as loud as that of a stu,paid as my little brother runs down the stairs.

"I'm almost done mom!! I want to grab a few of grandma's favorite family photos , I'm sure it'll help her recover"

I really hope that she gets better soon , and if she's to live her last few days in the hospital, she has to spend them with her family , with us, happy and I was going to make sure of it , even if it meant going to visit her at the hospital everyday.

I quickly grab the photo albums and run downstairs

"Did you get everything!?"

"Yes, we can go now."

My phone starts reading and the caller ID says Jays!!

"Hey Jays"

"Hey babe , how are you doing? "

"I'm hanging in there, how are you?"

"I'm good cupcake . Are you coming from for my soccer practice?"

"No, I can't. I'll be with grandma at the hospital,  I thought I told you."

"Ohhh, but you can come afterwards right. I'm assuming  you're not going to spend the whole day there."

"I don't think I can come there Jayson. My granny is sick and all you think about is me coming to your stupid practice,  how selfish can ...."

"No,,no babe, I totally understand. Your granny is sick and you have to be there for her , But my point is you're not a doctor Gaby! And neither are you God, so why stay at the hospital even after visiting hours?! If you don't wanna come for my practice then it's fine , I won't force you,, and you. ..."

"Jayson! Seriously huh.. You are the meanest , most despicable guy I've ever met. What part of my granny is sick don't you understand. ?"

"I'm not in the mood for your tantrums Gaby , not now. By the way, I hope your grandma gets well soon, bye "

"Don't you dare hang up on me Jayson!!"

Then he hangs up
I really don't know what's wrong with this guy.. but I won't bother myself thinking about him.. I have to focus on grandma for now, the sweet thing. She really didn't deserve all this.

"Granny!!"

"Come here little boy, give granny a hug. How have you been ? Missed me?"

"Yes , how are you feeling? , mom said that you were really sick but I prayed to baby Jesus so that you'd get better. Promise me you'll be okay."

"I promise, my little thing."

We spend quality time with her and she seems to be recovering well.
This is the reason why I want to be an oncologist in the future , cancer has caused so many tragedies.
Days pass, and we keep visiting grandma daily
Of course , jays calls, apologising for what he had said ,saying that he was stressed out about the whole scholarship thing and I understand him.

"I'm sorry ma'am you can't visit the patient today . We have been given instructions by the doctor not to let anyone in. "

I really don't get why the doctor had given those instructions, I hope everything is okay with grandma.
My mom gets a call from the hospital 3 days later

"Gaby , I'm not sure how to put this out to you"

"Wassup mom ,talk to me is anything wrong with grandma?? "

All she does is nod her head , and I notice a stream of tears running down her cheeks.

"Did something happen ? Did grandma....?"

"Yes my love, we lost her."

The funeral

When life decides not to smile at you, it brings a dark cloud above your head inclusive of loneliness and mixed emotions; rejection included!
Had I just ruined my newly found bond with Geo? Had I Lost Mikayla's trust, the only person I've confided in all my life. She has to understand me better, she has to! Maybe giving Jays another chance was a wild shot after all but hey my feelings matter too and they should respect and admire that. Besides, I feel my feelings are way safer in Jays hands since he promised me that he would on to me unconditionally and to never stop catching me if keep on falling for him.
Which reminds me of what Grandma always said during her WOW(words of wisdom) moments.

"People will always criticise and challenge your decisions cause that's the human nature. That shouldn't change who you're baby girl. Always keep in mind that people influence the way you live your life but the decision lies in your hands."

I think I should just say that as part of my speech or rather the only part cause I can't think of anything right now other than the fact she died before I had even seen her or call her no matter how many times mom insisted on visiting her but I would always find an excuse cause Jays and I would've plans for the day.

Such is life when you put to the test and forget to put family first.
Just as I stand up to give my speech by virtue of being the oldest grandchild, I catch a glimpse of a site that I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing...as always the case, my cheeks bail on me.

"I got your back, get it done girl."
Says Geo in an almost inaudible voice. Of course Mikayla is there too.

Yes, Jays wasn't there when I needed him the most and you wonder if he meant all that he said but my friends no matter how much we fight, always come through.
I get that he had an important football practice for the game that he had always been waiting for. Football coaches from various universities would be there , picking students to whom they were going to give varsity scholarships . So maybe it was really worth it , he was looking out for his future. But I can't help but wish that he was here with me.
Consoling me ,telling me that everything was going to be normal, I really needed him by my side.

It only took me a few minutes to let my heart out before bursting into tears as reality started to kick in , all words seemed to have gone mannequin challenge and Geo gave me a heartwarming hug as he aisled me to the car to get myself together.
Apparently, I feel comfortable with Geo. The way I'm clutching onto him I can't even feel myself breathe

Hope you enjoyed .. 🌷💌🔥
