Please Don't Go

CHAPTER 36

Lances POV

"D-daddy? W-why is Lily like that?" I looked up to see Aiden pointing at Lana through the glass. Oliver looked at me in fear.

"I told you to keep him away until it was over."

"Wait... daddy why isn't the monitor beeping? Daddy is she-

He began sobbing. I picked him up in my arms, hiding his face from her body.

"NO! Daddy she was supposed to be my mommy! She was perfect!" He held on to me tighter.

"I know buddy. She was perfect, I would've made her your mommy if I would've had more time. I'm so sorry buddy." I kissed his head.

"Oliver can you please take him back to-

"NO! IM NOT LEAVING HER!" He squirmed out of my arms, running up to the glass. "WAKE UP MOMMY! Please," he whimpered as he leaned his head up against the glass.

"Aiden come on, we need to-

"Beep. Beep. Beep." I looked up, her heart was beating again. I fell to my knees, tears rolled down my cheeks.

"She's Alive daddy! She not leaving!" He ran into my arms, crushing me in a hug. I hugged him as tight as I could.

"She's alive buddy." I looked at Oliver with tears in my eyes.

Thank you brother.

He winked and hugged us. The rest of surgery went by smoothly for the most part. Aiden refused to leave, so I just let him stay. Once again, Lana was in a coma from that bastard.

My men had found a note in James' pocket, it was from Charlotte. She told him to make sure Lana died. Needless to say she went straight to jail.

Lana's fine, but if I would've never gotten involved with her... would she be like this? Would she have had to suffer? None of this would've happened if I didn't insist on getting close to her.

I sat at her bedside holding her hand. I brought it up to my forehead and cried.

"I'm so sorry Lana. I'm so, so sorry."

Lilliana's POV

I woke up dazed, Cecil was sitting by my side.

"Do you remember what happened this time?" I thought for a second.

"I remember quite a bit. Some parts are still blurry. How did I get here?" She looked away.

"Lance brought you here."

"Where is he? Is Aiden alright? Cecil please tell me noth-

"They are fine Lilliana. Are you hungry? I can go get the doctor or-

"Where are they Cecil? Why aren't they here?" There was no way Aiden would leave after an incident like this.

"I can't tell you yet. I'll go get he doctor." She was up and out of the room before I could say anything.

What's that supposed to mean? Why can't I know where my boyfriend is or the little boy who brought us together?

"How are you feeling Miss Eyler? You had a nasty attack." I went to sit up, everything hurt.

"Why does everything hurt?"

"Like I said, it was a very nasty attack. You've been in a coma for a couple weeks." He chuckled. I was not laughing.

"Again!?"

"Unfortunately. I'm going to do a check up to make sure everything is going smoothly." He asked all kind of questions and poked my all over. No one would answer my question.

"WHERE ARE THEY!? Why won't anyone tell me!? They're dead aren't they?" I began to cry.

"You might as well get it over with Cecil." The doctor left the room.

"Get what over with Cecil?" She sighed and pulled an envelope out of her back pocket.

"This is for you. I'm going to step out of the room for a moment." She handed me the letter and left. I instantly recognized the handwriting, Lances.

Dear Lana,
I'm so sorry for dragging you into this mess. Aiden is alright, you helped saved him Lana. I'll forever be thankful for that. We found out that Charlotte was the one who freed James from prison. She had hired him to kill you, and he almost succeeded.
You died Lana. In the operating room, you died. Aiden came back and started screaming at you to wake up, and you did.

I smiled. Of course he was screaming at me.

It was at that moment that I realized I should've never gotten myself involved in your life. I shouldn't have pursued you in the first place. You would've never been put in any of the dangers you've been in with me.
I'm leaving Lana. I'm leaving because I can't allow you to keep getting hurt because of me.

My heart stopped.

I can't sit by and allow you keep getting hurt because of me. It's better this way Lana, you won't get hurt anymore because of me. Be happy love, don't look for me.

Lance ❤️

In the bottom of the envelope was a button, the button that brought us all together.

No. No. No.

I sat there sobbing.

"I thought you loved me? You promised you would never leave me, look at what you are doing right now. Please don't go. Come back." I muttered. I clutched the letter close to my chest. This hurt more than any torturing would.

"Curse you Lance! Don't be making promises you can't keep! Don't make me love you like that only for you to leave. I love you Lance. I love you and I don't want you to go." Cecil walked back in.

"You knew didn't you! Why wouldn't you tell me!?" I sobbed. I hated everyone.

"Because, he wanted me to give you the letter before-

"SCREW HIM! He just left Cecil. Screw what he wants.I hate him." She sat beside me.

"You don't mean that. You are upset, just give it time and-

"How much time Cecil. It's loss after loss. My parents, Cole, James, now Lance and Aiden. How many times am I supposed to go through this! It's not fair!"

"Nothing is fair Lilliana. We just have to overcome the problems we are faced with. It may hurt now, but you will look back on it someday and understand the pain you've gone through. Every piece is a stepping stone in life. Some steps bigger than others. I know its hard and takes time, but it's going to be okay."

"I loved him so much Cecil. I was finally able to get over Cole and fall in love again. I find out Cole was murdered and that the one I love has left. Why do I have to go through this?"

"Because it will make you stronger."

"I've never felt more weak."
