I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

Nathaniel POV:

Is Rachel still with Jason then? I thought to myself texting her.

Our attention was turned away from our devices at the opening of the door. I stared at the hallway hoping to see Rachel coming in because I was getting worried and even her driver wasn’t picking up.

LYDIA’S POV:

With happiness and excitement, I came out of the elevator arriving at Andrew’s hospital floor. I almost skipped joyfully as I walked, we had uncovered who cut the brakes to my car leading to Andrew’s accident and the damage of my baby, my first car, and finally expressing myself to Nathaniel seemed to make my heart light. I would be over the moon excited when I get the update that Jenny had been brought in the station.

I had already planned what I would do as soon as I saw her, and I would be the one laughing.

My eyebrows knitted in confusion as I heard an argument coming from the front of Andrew’s room. Walking further, I was bewildered seeing Lorena and Darren in a heated argument and the way Darren was hot and red, I feared he might hurt by throwing a punch or giving her a slap because she kept shouting in his face. He was quite muscular as he was an athlete so I hurried towards them.

“Lorena! That’s enough, we are in a hospital. What’s the problem?” I pulled her by the arm moving her closer to me.

“I’m just so tired of him, Lydia. I’m always just trying to please him, yet he doesn’t care for me. I’m so sick and tired of you, Darren.” She spat angrily and he just kept staring intently at her.

“Oh yeah? That’s how you feel? Lydia after everything do you think I don’t care about her?” He questioned me and I mentally begged for him to not put me in between though I had literally brought myself in between.

“Yes, that’s how I feel and I’m done. I’m done with you, I don’t even want to get married anymore.” Darren’s face instantly fell as Lorena took off her ring and threw it on his chest, freeing her hand from my grip and walking off.

“Lorena…” I called out following behind her but she kept walking.

“Leave me alone, Lydia. I want to be alone.” I instantly stopped in my tracks and let her be. Being her friend for years, I understood her if she wanted to be alone, then you just got to leave her alone.

Especially at this point, I was certain she was just too angry and was making a drastic decision.

I walked back and met Darren just standing in the same position holding Lorena’s luxurious ring. He looked confused, probably how it had reached that point over the argument.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Look, Darren, I know my friend, she’s just confused about everything. I promise she will be back in your arms by tonight.” I smiled small trying to assure him but he just shook his head.

“No, I think she’s really done with me this time.” He concluded looking down until he finally looked into my eyes and his eyes were red at the brink of tears.

“Darren don’t be sad…I will speak to her. You two have been together for years, nothing is going to end that.” He smiled weakly at me muttering thank you before strolling away.

“Thank you.” He spoke then strolled away but I grew  scared for them. What if this was really the end for them?

My mood deflated but I was still excited to see Andrew nonetheless.

I took a deep breath before opening the door to his room. I entered and Ariana smiled at me but quietly pointed towards Andrew showing me he was asleep. I pouted and thought about waking up as I was sick and tired of seeing him asleep all the time. I placed the gift bag on the table in the room and Ariana walked towards me.

“Can we talk outside?” She questioned softly and I observed her because all I wanted was to sit next to Andrew till he woke up.

“Sure.” I muttered and we walked out of his room, and she looked quite nervous.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m just happy, we, I mean you finally uncovered who was behind the cutting of your car brakes, and very soon they will receive your family’s wrath. I’m so proud of you.” She hugged me and I smiled warmly embracing her back.

“Plus I have another great news.” She spoke excitedly and I giggled just in love with her accent.

“What is it?” I asked, holding onto her hands.

“My parents agreed to meet Andrew as soon as he’s out of the hospital. It’s only left for your father and my family to meet, Andrew was happy when he heard this. So I was thinking we can set it up after or during his physical therapy because I’m certain my baby’s daddy will be able to walk in a jiffy.”

I loved how excited and happy she was and how much she adored Andrew. She was about to give me my little niece or nephew and I was so ready to spoil her.

I hugged her and we both laughed embracing each other. I felt like the worst was over and only good things, new relationships, growth and joy were coming.

As we waited for Andrew to wake up, we sat at the cafeteria drinking a milkshake and I shared with her the events of today. She smiled while listening but as soon as I thought about Lorena and Darren my heart felt heavy. So I made a mental note to go see her later tonight even if it was by midnight.

I just prayed she was joking.

“O My God, see the news.” I reverted my attention to the television screen seeing the newscaster reading out the headlines.

“A video of Jennifer Bilisy, Ex-girlfriend and childhood friend of Nathaniel King, has surfaced online as the person behind the attempted murder of Andrew Miller. The police forces, FBI and investigators have reportedly gotten a warrant for her arrest as soon as she’s apprehended, it will be reported. The video of Miss Bilisy cutting the brakes will play after this news, viewer’s discretion is advised.”

The reporter spoke and I really did not want it to be online or on media places until she was arrested so she wouldn’t be tipped off and escape but with the forces coming after her, I’m sure she wouldn’t escape.

I was certain.
