Love, Alaïa

Chapter 19- That Was No Accident

                  *Alaïa's P. O. V*

Standing up to Ellie made me feel so good on the inside. I hate that I take all the crap of others and let them get to me. But no more. No longer will I stay down. I will show them that this girl bite back. I'm on my way to chemistry for an extra tuition when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I see an unfamiliar number and now I'm deciding whether I should answer it or not. I decide to anyway.

"Hello?"

"Is this Alaïa May?", an unfamiliar voice of a man maybe roughly in his 30s ask me.

"Yes. Can I help you?", I ask confused.

"I'm calling from emergency services. You were the last called on Devyn May's phone. She was ran over by a car this morning on fourth street. We are taking her City Hospital as fast as we can"

Hearing the sound of his words sent shivers down my spine. My limbs got week and my body went cold. I dropped all my belongs once again and tears rolled down my cheeks.

"W-what? I-s she o-okay? Is she hurt?", I stuttered.

"She is in a serious condition. We suggest you get there as soon as possible"

"Ill be right there", I said as I hung up and ran to my car. I immediately dial in my mom's number. My hands became weak and my fingers shivered against the wheel. I eventually made it to the hospital and ran upstairs.

"E-excuse me. Im looking for Devyn. Devyn May", I ask the nurse at the front desk.

"Room 232. Down the hall on the left", she said kindly.

"Thanks"

I constantly run looking through at the numbers waiting to reach 232. As I run down further I see my family in the lounge waiting on the doctors. I run and hug my mom tightly as we both cried. Alex was frantic. He was sobbing and pacing up and down the room waiting for the doctors say. Ryan was in one seat trying to make my baby brother sleep and prevent him from crying whilst my dad searched for a doctor. When the doctor came out of room 232 we walked over to him, in hopes of good news.

"Doctor, how is she?", Alex asked with tears stained on his face.

"She's in critical condition. She has suffered some head injuries and she is not responding at the moment. We  ran some tests and from the results, this didn't seem like an accident. But we are trying out best to keep her breathing and stablised.", he said.

Didn't seem like an accident? What could that mean?

" Can we see her? ", my mom asked the doctor.

" Not right now mam. Let us finish see to her properly and we will inform you. But don't worry Mr and Mrs May, she will be okay ", he said before going of again.

I sit on the chair patiently waiting for the doctors report. I turn my head to once side when I see a boy run in with a bouquet of flowers.

" Oh God. Is Devyn okay? ", Andrew ran in screaming. He finally found me and pulled me in a big hug.

"I'm sorry Alaïa. I'm really sorry. It's going to be alright okay? Here, I was going to come by your house to see how you were doing and I was bringing these flowers along but Alex called me and told what had happened but you can still have them", he said handing me a bouquet of tulips.

"Thanks Andrew", I smiled weakly. Right now I don't know what's going on in my head. I don't know why the universe is trying so hard to knock me over. My sister is my life. I don't know what I will do if something had to happen to her.

"I'll go get you a coffee", Andrew said leaving to get me the coffee. It's not Andrews fault. He doesn't know I hate coffee. His not Gio.

The doctor comes out of the room and walks towards us. We rush up to him hoping that he would have some good news for us by now.

"Doctor", Alex asked looking all hopeless and restless.

"We have stabilized her. Her heartbeat is pretty normal and she should be out in a day or two. She's awake now", he spoke and I felt something inside of me light me up. She was okay and that was the main thing. We all rushed inside to see her.
My heart absolutely broke seeing her in that condition. The ever so healthy Devyn lying helpless in an hospital bed. Alex immediately ran to her kissing her hands and my mom and dad surrounded her crying. Ryan had to get home because he was taking care of Jordyn. Everybody talked to Dev for a while thankful that she's okay. The doctors had said that Dev needed rest so after about 20 minutes, they escorted all of us out of her room so that she could rest. But I, had some unfinished business to take care of some I stayed back.

"Lai, you coming?", Andrew asked before walking out.

"Uhh I just want to talk to Dev alone for a minute. You go on, I'll catch up", he nods his head and smile and I smile back. I sit beside Devyn and take her hand in mine.

"Hey Beautiful, I'm so glad you're okay", I say holding her hand.

"I'm glad that you're here with me", she smiled back.

"I would have died if anything happened to you. You know that right? Don't ever do this to me again", I scold. "But I need you to tell me something."

She twisted her body and turned towards me.

"The doctor said that this didn't seem like an accident. Which means it's incidently. And I smell a rat. But do you remember what happened before you were hit?", I ask hoping she remembered.

"Yeah I kinda do actually. But not every detail. I was going for my morning jog like I usually do. It began to rain and the road got slippery so I rested in a little Café. Then the weather cleared and I hit the road again. I turned out my music and I started my run. I just had a sense, like my gut told me that I should turn around. Ouch!", she yelled holding her head." When I turned around all I saw is a huge SUV speed towards me. My body was in a state of shock so I couldn't react quickly and before I knew it, it hit me. Then everything went black. It was kind of weird because when I stopped at the café I saw the same black SUV. "

" So that means this was planned. They were following you the whole time", I'm trying so hard to pick up the pieces.

"Who could want to kill me on purpose?"

"Adriana Jacob", it hits me." She tried to break you up so she could get Alex but obviously her lame attempt with the video didn't work so  the only way for her to get Alex was to have you dead"

"What?Lai, don't you think maybe-", she wanted to dodge this.

"There we go again. Why do you keep making excuses for her? She's not your friend. She doesn't want what's best for you. She wants you dead. Why can't you see that?!", I begin to get furious.

"Yeah I think you're right. I'm not siding with her because well she is crazy but how will we deal with this situation?"

"We go to the police", I say to her.

"What? You don't have any proof?", she says still holding her head.

"Oh yes I do. That flash drive will carry some weight and I'll contact Edward. I'm willing to do whatever. I want to see her locked up and out of our lives for good", I assure her.

" Alaïa how's things with Gio?", she asked softly.

How do I tell her that we still aren't okay. He doesn't love me. I'm trying not to but love over everything.

"It's.. Its okay but right now we have to focus on you", I try to avoid this topic.

"It's okay to let your walls down", she said waking up.

"No no please dont wake up. You need to lie down. But don't worry I will take care of your situation. Please rest. I'll see you later okay Dev?"

"Okay", she simply said lying down. Now I have work to do. I may be on my own but I have to make do. I'll get justice for Devyn and then....I'll move on. But right now, I'm still holding onto the memories.
