Woah🤧

Jason's POV
I can't believe I did that to Temi

I didn't mean it

Those this mean I'm no different from my abuser?

I felt choked up and it felt like the walls were closing up on me

I hurt Temi so bad that she landed in the hospital; is that the same thing that my abuser does to me?

 

I felt trickles of sweat rolling from my head to my forehead.

I'm no different from a monster

Tamilore POV
Nurses rushed to us immediately the ambulance parked.

I followed them into the hospital that I must say is extremely large.

When we arrived inside the hospital, I saw my parent at the waiting room,they rushed to us the moment we got in. A middle aged man came towards us and checked her pulse.

"We've tried stopping the blood but it keeps rushing and she's losing a lot of blood Doctor" the lady from earlier said.

"What was the cause of the accident" The doctor asked checking Temi's heartbeat.

"She fell from the stairs. I think her head suffered most of the injuries" the lady said

"Okay Doctor Shade. Take her to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and prepare her for surgery. Also run a test to know her blood group then check if we have a match in the blood bank" The Doctor said
"Okay Doctor" she replied and gave signal to the nurses to take Temi away. We wanted to follow them but the ICU was off limits to non-staffs.

Mum broke down in tears as she lamented in words I didn't bother listening to. A nurse walked up to us to inform us about the protocols

"Hello sir and ma'am please we need you to sign some papers before we proceed with the surgery" the lady said. Dad nodded and followed her to the reception center to do the necessary.

****

It's been exactly five hours, thirty minutes and fifteen second that doctors had been in the ICU, that nurses has been refusing to give us an update, that Temi has been fighting for her life.

 
Mum's eyes were red and bloodshot, she was already tired of crying.

Dad had gone out to get us food and me if you're asking has been sitting there in silence silently praying that Temi would be alright.

I heard footsteps approaching. I didn't bother looking up to see who it was because I knew it was Dad.

The footsteps were getting nearer and nearer and while listening to them I knew that it is more than one person that was approaching us.

Did daddy come back with company?

Pairs of expensive looking sneakers met my eyes and six of them wore the same colour of trousers but by my calculations there was sixteen legs in front of me.

 I slowly raised my head and looked up to find David, Ethan, Chuks, Leo, Folarin, Fiyin, Farayola and.....Jason.

I stared at all of them as I was too weak to talk.

"How is she?" Farayola asked

"I don't know, the doctors are yet to give us an update. They've been with her in the ICU for a long time now but hopefully she's fine"I said as I fought back my tears.
