Confessions of a Drunken Diva

Chapter 11: Confessions of a Drunken Diva

Veronica's POV

As the movie ended and went to the credits, Alec turned to look at me. He smiled shyly and then looked at me confused. I had tears running down my face, I had tried so hard not to cry, but I just couldn't hold it in anymore. It was too much. I burst out crying and Alec quickly came to my aid and sat next to me and pulled me into his arms and i cried into his shoulders. 

"What if he doesn't make it? What if they can't help him?" I choked out through tears. He rubbed my back. I gripped onto his shirt while crying. I cried like I've never cried before, never in my life have i cried this much. It felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest and stomped on, and it felt as if they shredded my heart and broke it millions of times over and over. 

"Veronica, I promise you that Zach will turn out okay. I promise he will turn out okay, and will be back in no time." Said Alec while rubbing my back. I continued to pour out of tears. I gripped onto his shirt tighter and cried. It hurt that Zach was in the hospital, this was all my fault, if I had just gone with Justice, then Zach would be fine and so would his family and nobody would be heart broken. I wish it had been me instead. 

"Don't cry, Veronica, I promise you, he will be alright" said Alec, I kept on crying, it's nice that he's trying to help me, but he knows that he can't promise that Zach will be alright, he was in a pretty bad condition. 

"How do you know?" I asked him while looking up at him, while choking back tears so I could actually say something. He looked at me confused. 

"What do you mean?" He asked me wondering and still rubbing my back. I sniffled.

"How do you know if he's going to be alright? You can't guarantee that he will turn out alright. No one can, not even the doctors. They know that he's half dead right now, that his heart could stop at any moment of the day, but yet they choose to keep on trying to fix him. I don't get it, he's practically dead, and it's just making him suffer even more, by treating him." I said to Alec. Alec sighed and grabbed the sides of my head and looked at me straight in the eyes. 

"Don't you dare give up on him. I know he's in bad shape and he's suffering more than any of us right now, but I don't think you want him to die, do you? I know you love him with all your heart, and I know you wish it would've been you, but Zach risked his life for you, and he wants to come back, but you have to hold on just a little more longer." said Alec while sighing and rubbing my back. I sniffled and looked at the ground a little ashamed and awkward. I shouldn't have been thinking that in the first place, I loved Zach, why am I doubting his survival? I guess I'm just worried and nervous that he won't make it. I sighed and looked up at Alec. 

"I'm sorry, I doubted him getting better" I said to Alec while sniffling. He smiled and wiped away tears from my eyes. He nodded. 

'It's okay, don't worry, I forgive you" He said to me while chuckling. I chuckled and then rested my head in his shoulders. It felt comforting to have someone to hug and warm up to. I'm glad that Alec is here to comfort me. 

"Can we do something else?" I asked him while getting up and taking out the movie and putting it back in its case. He nodded and then scratched at his head. 

"Are you hungry? We never actually ate" He said to me while smirking. I nodded and smiled at him as my stomach growled. He laughed and got up and walked away. I followed him to their kitchen and I saw him turn on the stove. 

"What are you going to make?" I asked him while walking up to the stove and staring at the spiral circles, the one in the back left starting turning red, meaning that he had turned that one on.
