Back In the islands (slowly editing)

Chapter 17 - Family 1st

👆Sita Neafu & Lose Ka'afi👆
SAIA'S POV

After seeing him on the ground coughing out blood, I decided that was enough.

"Saia bro, what's gotten into you?" Kaina questions placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Mere tried to kill herself because of this idiot" I answer As soon as the word kill left my mouth, Lafaele looked at me with guilt.

"What do you mean cause of me?" Lafaele stands up and wipes the blood off his nose and mouth. I take out the notes from my pocket and toss the one that was for him. As he reads it, his face turns guiltier and guiltier (I think that's a word).

"Far, can't believe she would do something like this" he says dropping the note to the ground. I walk away before I am tempted to hit him again. All that goes through my mind is how she was feeling.

They must have hurt her pretty bad for her to take her life. Mere's like the sister I've never had. Stubborn, funny and tough. If anything ever happened to her, I'd repeat what I just did to Lafaele.

I just realised, we haven't called her parent about what happened. I take out my phone and call Teu.
PHONE CONVO
Teu: Sup bro, haven't called in a while. You algoods ?
Me: I know aye. It's just Mere's in hospital n the doctors were saying she committed suicide
Teu: what? Are you serious? Why would she do that?
Me: it's better to explain in person, can you get here. She's ok just in a comma
Teu: yeah, I'll see. Watch over her for me doxx?
Me: what do you think I've been doin since she came? Nah laters bro
*hang up*

Ok, so I'm calm for now. I decide to check up on the girls at home.

Arriving at home, I notice the truck is gone. As I walk into Mere's room, the girls aren't there. But Dad is still asleep. Nice guarding dad. Now I know how the little kids got out of the house before. Their probably at the hospital.

I get to Mere's door and find mum and the girls there.

"I thought I told you guys to get some rest" I say quietly closing the door behind me.

"Sorry babe, but you should know we're not leaving Mere" Lose says as I sit by her.

"Saia, what's the blood on your shirt?" My dear cousin Sita quietly yells snapping my mum out of her daze.

"Oh,uh, I......uh..... Fell and banged my nose against the floor" I lie.

Mum goes back to her daze while the other 2 raise a brow.

"I'll explain later" I tell them. Seeing Mere like this, it's the only time she's quiet. Most of the times she's cussing or fighting or complaining.

We see a familiar face knocking lightly on the door. David Taungakava (made up) , the producer of Digicel Stars. I get up from my seat and make my way to the door.

"We heard about one of our contestants in the hospital. On behalf of Digicels Stars and myself, we hope she gets well soon. She was a favourite on the show. I am sorry to inform you, but if she doesn't wake up by the end of next week, she's off the show." He informs me.

"Is that all you fucking care about? Your stupid show?" I complain. He turns around and doesn't even look back. Oh Mere please wake up. I walk back into her room.

"What did he want" Sita asks.

"He said if she doesn't wake up by the end of next week, she's off the show." I explain.

"That's bull..... She's better then everyone else in the comp" Lose argues.

"Mere WAS a kud sinker" Mum smiles fadedly.

"IS mum, IS" I reply.

We sit there for a few hours beside her. Praying for her to wake up and having little conversations. Amongst each other. There is yet another knock at the door.

Wesley. And his girlfriend. Why the heck did he come. And more importantly why did he bring his girlfriend?

SITA'S POV
I see Wesley knocking outside the door. With his girlfriend, Alisi. Saia has a murderous look on his face as he gets up from his chair.

"I got this one cuz" I say placing a hand on his chest and pushing him back.

"Anything happens and you call me so I can beat his ass" he whispers so Aunty Mele doesn't hear. I open he door and find them both standing there.

"What the heck are you doing here? And why the fuck did you fucking bring her?" I yell.

"I just want to see Mere" he pleads.

"You broke her fucking heart, your the reason she's in this fucking situation. And you had the audacity to bring HER-" I'm interrupted by his slut.

"Look, yo ugly ass better stop talkin shit about me & my boyfriend before I beat your ass. It's clear your girl hasn't moved on unlike Wesley. All Wesley wanted to do was know what happened. He doesn't need an interrogation from some short, ugly cunt" she insults.

"Was anyone talking to you? I don't think so. And get your fucking facts right before you open that ocean of a mouth. And don't you ever insult my cousin again. She's 10x more of a women then you are. And who you callin ugly? Cos clearly you haven't looked in the mirror lately" I grin.

She walks up to me and pulls me by the hair. I grip my hands onto her hair nd bang her forehead against the hospital wall. She looses her balance and falls head first to the ground.

Straight away she stands up and digs her nails into my knee. I punch her in the jaw. She has a bleeding nose. I feel my cousins hands around my stomach pulling me back as Wesley does the same to the bitch.

"This isn't over" I warn as he pulls me into the room.

My hair is a mess and I've got little cuts on my hand.

"Why'd you do that for? I had the situation under control" I argue sitting down.

"Beating up his girlfriend isn't having it under control" he replies.

"She called me ugly. And short. I know I'm short but I most definitely ain't ugly. And she insulted Mere so of course I was going to beat her as-butt" I say grinning at Aunty who is now eyeing me since I ALMOST said a bad word.

Hours have past and Lose & Aunty is finally asleep. It's just Me & Saia left awake. I really want to sleep but I also want to watch Mere.

"You think she's going to wake up?" He questions.

"I KNOW she's going to wake up" I answer determined. I sit back and slowly drift to sleep. Mere, you better wake up. If you don't Saia's going to kill Lafaele and Wesley.

So the main reason I started to write was because of that show, Jonah From Tonga. Yeah I'm sure you've watched it. The shows a crack up but it portrays islanders as stupid and dumb people. We are not dumb or stupid. Well not all of us at least.
Anyways, thanks for reading.
