Moving On?

Hopefulness

Keith POV
I'm sitting in the waiting room just thinking about what just happened. Ryan had a seizure.

I'm so scared just thinking about what will happen next. Man I can't lose her this fast. Will I ever get to be happy? Will my son ever be happy?

I called Micah to tell her what happened and she was so hurt. I've never seen my sister so distraught. She said she was on her way but she has to bring Noah since she was watching him for me.

I really don't want my son seeing Ryan like this because they are super close and seeing her will just break his heart.

Ryan been with the doctor for 2 hours now I'm just waiting for what they going to say. I'm always think of the worst so I'm scared of what's going to happen to her.

I'm so deep into thought that I didn't see Micah and Noah in fronted me until Noah tapped me.

" Dada what's wrong," he say pouting.

I don't want to lie to my son but Ik he going to be hurt if I tell him the truth.

" Nothing you need to worry about," I say pulling him to me.

" Keith is she ok," Micah say concerned.

" Who is hurt," Noah say confused.

" Nobody," I say really trying to avoid telling him.

" Tell me,"Noah say upset.

" I'm sorry Noah but Ryan is hurt," I say not looking into his eyes.

" What you mean dada is she going to be ok," he say looking like he finna start crying.

I hug him trying to get him to calm down because he works him self up.

" I hope so," I whispered.

I look up and see the doctor coming my way. So I hop up nervous to know what's happening.

" Well Ryan is fine now the seizure was just because she got hit so hard. She doesn't have epilepsy it was just a one time thing but she has to stay longer a week to make sure it doesn't come back and that everything is healed," she say.

I'm just glad that nothing bad happened to her I don't know what I would do.

I turn to Noah " Noah the doctor said Ryan is fine so you can stop crying," I say picking him up.

" Can we see her," he sniffle.

" Yes you can she is in her room sleep she'll probably wake up anytime soon," she say then walk away.

"Come on Noah we finna go see her," I say then walk towards Ryan room.

As we got in her room I see her sleep in the bed, she looks so peaceful. Noah ran over to her bed and held her hand.

" Ry can you wake up I miss you," he said laying on her.

I sigh then walk to her other side and hold her other hand.

" Ryan we miss you," I say then lean down and kiss her forehead.

I feel her squeeze my hand so I lift up and look at her to see she is trying to open her eyes.

" Ryan take your time," I say because she rushing and trying to open them real fast.

She listens and slowly tries to open her eyes this time.

When she opens her eyes I look down and smile at her but instead of seeing her smiling she starts crying.

" Ry what's wrong," Noah say concerned.

She doesn't answer she just cries harder.

" Noah go with Micah she right outside of the room and wait while I talk too Ryan," I say.

He pouts then exits the room.

I slide into the hospital bed next to Ryan and just hold her. She is very emotional right now so I just let her calm down before speaking to her.

" Ryan I know that you thinking it's your fault right now but it's not. You did nothing wrong ok," I start off by saying.

She moves away from me and turns her body so she is not facing me. I try to pull her back but she flinches so I just decide not to touch her.

" Ryan you gotta talk to me," I beg for her to speak.

She shake her head no.

"Ryan we have to discuss this one way or another and not talking about it isn't going to help. Travis got away and he might come after you again so we need to talk about it for your safety," I say frustrated because she won't listen.

She is still quiet for another 5 minutes before she turns around and looks at me then she stares at me for a while.

" Can we talk about it later I just woke up and I don't wanna deal with it right now. To be honest I wanna be left alone right now so can you please leave," she say before turning back around.

I lay here shocked because she is being so distant, she has never acted this way towards me. I get that she has been in a fucked up situation but she has to speak about. Put I respect her wishes so I'm just going to leave.

I get out of the bed and walk to the other side and kiss her forehead then turn to walk out.

When I exit Micah and Noah walk up to me.

" Right now Ryan just needs some alone time," I say.

Micah takes Noah and put him in my arms.

" I'm finna go talk to her," she say going into the room.

I sigh and walk back into the waiting room with Noah.

Ryan really needs to talk about it because it's not good to keep stuff like that in. I kind of know because I was so angry at Erica because of what she did I just kept all that in and shutting myself from everybody but when I met Ryan and started telling her how I feel I noticed I became more happy. I found someone to talk to and that's the best thing I could have ever done. Ryan was here for me and all I want to be is here for her but only if she lets me.

" Dada is Ryan going to be okay," Noah say looking up at me hoping I say the right words because he depends on me to tell him the truth but tbh I don't know. I just want to see my son happy but if I tell the truth he is not going to be happy.

That's another thing I really haven't seen my son this happy ever. Ryan gives my son a different type of happiness I couldn't give to him. I can tell that she is a big part of his life. Everyday he always ask where is Ryan, are we seeing her today, how is Ryan doing. It gets annoying but I would never take her away from him because I want to continue to see my son this happy.

" Yes Noah but she just needs time," I say telling the truth.
