How About Us (Us, Book Two Completed)

Chapter Eleven

Everyone in the wedding invitees are almost gone. There it's just me, Maya and the rest of the Hall family and the Fosters family.

"Where are you planning for the honeymoon?" Luke's brother asked.

"It's none of your business, Jake." Luke said smirking.

"Hey! That's rude." Jana said laughing. "Where planning to go to Italy for our honeymoon." Jana added and smile.

"Wow! That's cute!" Andrea said surprised.

"So! After that where going to expect a baby." Albert said playfully.

"Hey!" Andrea punch her shoulder playfully. "Let your daughter and son decide for that, Albert." She added.

The whole conversation was great and fun. Knowing both of the families are really open to each other. Later that, Jana and Luke, went home to get a private space, so with the Fosters family who go home next. Like what Andrea said earlier, we went to their house in Beverly hills in just thirty minutes.

"Make yourself at home." Andrea said, "I'm sorry for the messy living room." She added,

"It's fine." I said politely. I look over the stand beside the sofa a frame picture of Arielle wearing a crown and a sash.

"That's Arielle on her twelve years old she won the best gown on a classroom party." Andrea said, "Here get some water." She offered.

The whole atmosphere is awkward and weird. I don't know what to say and how to start this whole thing. I look at Andrea and was about to speak when,

"It's been one and half month that I know you wondered where is Arielle." She said starting to get a teary eyes, "It's also hard for me and to my husband to process even Jana. We all came to this point where we thought of giving up." She added,

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"I'm so sorry if we never told you sooner about Arielle's situation." Andrea said while the tears starts to fall on her eyes that I can't process what she meant.

"The night that the accident happened, we came there respond the call of the nurse saying that Arielle is involved into an accident, we didn't even expect you to be there too, since we don't have any idea…" Albert stated, "Then Maya, arrived, she told us what happened." He added, I look beside me and there Maya is crying.

"We talked to Doctor Moore about it and…"

"You talked to Doctor Moore?" I interrupted as the words starts to get intriguing. "She told me she's not on duty that night?" I added,

"About that, we… We told Doctor Moore to not tell you what happened to Arielle." Andrea said.

"You mean, all this time… All this time I fooled myself and overthink about something that is been sabotage. Why?" I said start to get emotional.

"To keep you from worrying about Arielle while your still recovering after what happened to your left leg." Albert said calmly.

"So! You knew it all along, Maya?" I asked.

"I'm so sorry, Roran! That's the only thing I know at that moment to make you recover quickly." She answered. "You know it's hard for me to keep lying. To keep acting normal when all along I've been playing both of my friends feelings." She added.

"So what actually happened to Arielle?" I asked,

"Doctor Moore said she's in coma." Andrea said.

I don't understand the feeling right now. The feeling like my emotions are fighting with each other and I can't sink in the news that Arielle is in coma. I slap my face with my palm and cry, the only thing I know where I can deal with my pain.

"Roran, I'm so sorry!" Andrea said and hugged me. "We feel you. It's hard." She added,

"All along, while I was thinking about her and she's there still doesn't even know that I worried so much about her." I said.

"Shhh…" She added, "Everything will soon be okay, trust me." Andrea said.

I don't know. I'm not feeling good. My brain is empty like it's not functioning properly. I don't even know what to say, what to do, I'm emotionally draining right this moment. Could you wake me up, whenever this is gone and done.
