The irony of Love

chapter 5

I ve been calling Hannah but she's not answering. I'm beginning to get more worried.
She's not even answering my calls.
Calm down Gracie. She's going to be fine. Let me get you some tea.
Sobs..
Ebel I'm not hungry. How can I eat when my grandma is in the hospital. She... She wasn't even moving...  She wasn't talking...
She will be fine, trust me yh.
Hmm...
Let me get you some hot tea, it will be good for you.
Thank you so much.
You don't have to.

Ebel's POV

Gracie came this morning in a very devastating State.
I had to coax her to catch some sleep.
Ma is such a great woman and I silently pray that nothing happens to her.
I watched the thirteen year old, sleep peacefully on my bed without a stir. As hard I want to stop myself, I'm growing so fond of this girl. She is way too young to be dragged into any relationship. She's so full of life and has a lot to study in school. I had to know her feelings for me, so I would know how to handle her. What bothers me most is the fact that I have had a relationship with Hannah before, though it didn't end as well as we both anticipated. I'm pretty sure she has no idea, but that could hurt her feelings....
Gracie stirs and her eyes flutter open.
Hey you're awake .
Can I call Hannah with your phone?
Sure!
It's keeps going to voicemail, she's not answering.
What if something very bad has happened to her?
Shush! Nothing bad is going to happen to happen.
Ebel I have an idea, why don't we go over to the hospital.
Okay but after you finish your tea. You might catch a headache from all this worrying and panicking.

Gracie's POV
There is total silence as we walk to catch a bus to the hospital.
I silently pray for MA's safety.
Right about entering the hospital, we meet Hannah.
Hey...
I had to come here because I was worried sick.
You didn't have to, I would have called back.
Hi Hannah.. .
Ebel?
I'm so sorry we came, we were both worried about Ma, and you weren't answering our...
It's alright you guys should come in, she's in the Third Ward.
Thank you.
Its okay.
Hannah?
Ma is still sleeping.
The doctor said she has a mal stroke.
Gasp!
Apparently, she lost a nail at work yesterday, and had a rise in her blood pressure. She slipped this morning when she was trying to wash and feel, leading to... well this.
I'm so sorry this happened.
Hannah is she going to be okay?
That's if she responds well to treatment.
You both should go home. I will come later, after I give her a bath.
No I want to stay.
You can't!
You have school.
Ebel please take her home.
Thank for coming.
