Stitches

Chapter 5

Its been a week since I found out I was kidnapped by the Black Srevins.Time was ticking,so I informed Joshua about everything and he pomised to help me find my son and dig into the name Naana called me. As the saying goes” not everyone gonna love you “so I got an enemy here too. You can take a guess. Overall most of them dont trust me neither do i trust them so we avoid ourselves completely.I was also told ,a team member had gone on a trip right after the previous  operation. Their aim was to get back their missing member from the Ultimate’s Camp. I laughed because that was an impossible task .Things were going on smoothly even though countless number of times my archenemy-Freda will pass a snide comment or give me dirty looks but I just ignored and cooperated.
I headed into the corridor and took a seat beside Andy on the swing. Andrew is one of the few i talk to here.He has a fun and easy going personality.  We were enveloped in silence until I remembered that fateful day .I quickly turned to look at  Andrew.
He rose a brow after i nudged him.
“The day I spoke to Joshua in that manner , why were you all surprised "curiously I asked. He smiled .
‘Thought you would never ask. Well he has a terrifying temper ,so we try as much as possible to avoid getting him angry. You are the first apart from Angie to have spoken to him in that accord. We were amused to find him speechless after your outburst.
“Maybe it was out of shock” understanding dawned on me after his words.
“You could say that or-Argghhhhhhhhhhh….he got cut off by Freda’s screams and chants of “Geni’s here .Geni’s here…”
Andrew’s face lit up like a candle. He basically dragged me into the living room. The guy was engulfed in embraces when we got there .I stopped at a distance .After the jubilation of his arrival ,he finally turned and the smile I was wearing just dropped as I locked eyes with this person. I quickly stammered a welcome and left wanting to be anywhere but in his presence. Fate does have a way of bringing people back into your life no matter the number of  years it takes, its unbelievable . This is both exciting and horrifying at the same time. I held my head in my arms, ”OMG, what if …..”I sighed heavily .Maybe this is a bad dream . Maybe when I wake up it will be gone .I felt a sharp pain in my head, i took a nap after drinking water to ease the pain.
    Its been a week since his arrival, and a week since I last left my room. The aim was to avoid him at all cost especially after the feeling of guilt that I know the death of his mum whereas he doesn’t and I kept his children hidden from him . I fear he may take them from me since we are married even after separation. Few hours later that day, I woke up to a knock on my door. Josh stepped in with a tray of food ;but lately I didn’t have an appetite so I asked him to return it.
   “You sure you don’t want to be taken to the hospital?” he asked for the umpteenth time this week.
    “No, am good ,see” I proceeded to stand on both legs but failed miserably .
     “That’s it ,am not listening to you again . Get dressed. ”I chuckled and tried successfully this time.
   “ Told you am doing great.” He joined me on the couch where I sat. He checked my temperature and frowned ,”it increases with every passing day ..” I told him to get me some drugs to make him feel better.
  “Where’s Angie?’ I enquired.
“ She’s asleep ,and am happy for that ,she needs it.” he sighed. ”Anyways ,Dave Meyers phone wasn’t really helpful”
“What !,after going through all that trouble…..i felt dizzy again.
He put me to bed then rushed off to get me drugs. He came back half an hour later. I took the drugs,then continued to devise ways to protect Ethana and find  Ethan with him. I couldn’t hold it in anymore I burst into tears after all this time he got missing ,I preached to myself to be strong but really I was  dreading the possibility of anything happening to him. Once upon a time ,I lived peacefully  with both kids now one’s life is in danger. Josh tugged me into an embrace gently while I sobbed since I trusted him with my predicament the fourth day I was here. Later on, he started teasing with how i looked . He found it hilarious after I stretched my neck to look in the mirror. Perplexed, I asked him to share the joke. ”Your expression …I threw the pillow at him.
"You still look pretty, don’t worry.” He said still clasping his hand to his stomach laughing. I know i looked terrible with my hair sticking out in different directions and my face damp and red from all the tears but it wasn't that bad i believe. Still, I went  into the bathroom to freshen up. I came out once I was done and took a stroll. As I was heading back ,I bumped into someone while rounding the corner to my room. We began to apologize simultaneously till we realized who we were. Wow...this whole situation is bizzare. We stared for a while till Sam caught up with the show.
