The Heirs

Abracadabra

    And here we are .
    None of us could hide how excited we were as we all rushed to the hospital after getting a call that James had regained consciousness.
      I don't think a normal patient room is allowed to accommodate this number of visitors as we all found ourselves in James's VIP room.
       "You scared me old boy", said my dad who was busy scolding his best friend.
     "I'm sorry I got you so worried,I knew you were always in love with me when you married Jane,this really touches my heart",James chuckled as he teased my dad.
         Finally everything is going to be alright,well I wasn't totally correct since the reporters never left the hospital and James's state of health was still frightening as we watched the doctors run into his room while we all stood outside.
     "Doctor, what's wrong with my dad",asked Adrian and Richard simultaneously.
         "I'm sorry, it's only a miracle he was able to regain consciousness this early, I'm afraid there's little we can do to save him", said the doctor.
      Then a loud thud was heard ,Kate has fainted.
      "Mom,mom", said Adrianna holding her mom in tears while we all rushed to her and a nurse attended to her .
      "What's wrong with my mom", asked Adrianna in tears while Claire held her.
      "Doctor,what are you saying about James", asked my dad
      "I will need to speak with a family member", said the doctor.
     "Adrian let's go, uncle please look after my mom", said Richard coordinating his family.
       "Okay you go", said my mom who went to see Kate.
      Why are things falling apart.
    I didn't know how I found my way to the chapel  built inside the hospital.
      "God,I know we have a lot of things to discuss, I'm stuck and I don't know what to do, everyone is unhappy, strange things keep happening around, I'm sorry for not being faithful, four years ago I turned from you,I became a drug addict and I was succidal , it's not my fault I gave him up,I couldn't bear the pain ,the look in everyone's eyes saying I lied about Harry raping me ,no one believed me except you Lord, my dad's business is dying and James is also dying,God if you are listening ,please do something, please don't let him die, please,I have no other God but You, please help me ", I said as I broke down into tears .
         I don't know how long I sat in the chapel crying until I was wrapped in a hug.
     "It's okay", said Adrian as I buried my face in the crook of his neck crying.
      "Your mom", I asked.
  "The doctor said she was stressed that's why she fainted but she's okay now", said Adrian as he placed his head on mine.
       "Your dad", I asked crying.
  "He has little time left to live apparently,the tumor has gotten worse", said Adrian silently as his grip on me tightened a little.
       God please do something
    He didn't push me away as I cried out my lungs.
      After awhile all we did was stay in that position and my tears had dried on my face.
     "I feel like this is all my fault,I shouldn't have insisted on leaving", said Adrian silently.
       "It's not your fault, Adrian", I said as I looked at him and in his eyes were tears threatening to fall.
       "But it's the truth,I should have just listened to him for once", said Adrian
      "Adrian,things happen around us but it doesn't mean it is our fault,they just happen for a reason so please don't blame yourself,you didn't know he would get hurt when you argued with him", I said as I touched his face looking at him.
      "You don't understand", said Adrian letting go of me
      "Then make me", I said feeling upset with him.
        "He only got this brain cancer because I ran away from home six years ago,he is about to die because of me", Adrian raised his voice while I flinched.
         Noticing my reaction, Adrian scooped me in another hug
        "I'm sorry,I just want to blame someone,I can't lose my dad, I don't want to lose him", said Adrian as he buried his head in my neck and I felt a cold liquid on it.
       He's crying.
    "Adrian,your dad is going to be alright, he's a strong man", I said as I gently patted his back while he wrapped his hand around my waist.
        "I'm scared,I don't know what I will do if he dies, I'm not sure I can handle that", said Adrian as he cried.
        "He's not dying Adrian , he will recover",I said as I closed my eyes to stop myself from crying.
       To be honest, sitting in the chapel with Adrian calmed me down as I placed my head on his shoulder and the silence wasn't suffocating,it was peaceful at least until Pricilia saw us together.
       "Oh .. I was just looking for you Cinthia", said Pricilia glaring at me.
    Okay so that was weird
    I reluctantly left Adrian as I went to my sister wondering why she was looking for me.
         "Thanks", said Adrian as he smiled.
"You welcome", I replied.
         "So",asked Pricilia as we stood far away from the rest.
      "So what", I questioned
   "Am I the only one whose credit card is blank", Pricilia asked pinching a side of her nose.
        "No mine is also blank", I replied.
   "Do you know why, what's going on",asked Pricilia.
        I can't tell her,no one knows what is going on.
        "I don't know, you should ask Kyle as well", I replied lying.
     "Whatever and yes it really seems you don't stay true to your word,I thought I told you to stay away from Adrian", said Pricilia.
      "Let me give you a reality check sis, I'm not your younger sister so I don't see why I should listen to you so Pricilia stop this acts", I said a bit upset.
          "It's because Mom and Dad are always so nice to you ,they have always treated you like you are the only child in the family while I'm not even important, it's as if you are the only one they see and  I don't like you, you are not even my real sister,"said Pricilia then she walked away.
       Wait!what did she just say.
