Small Town Girl — Chapter 25

BELLA P.O.V.

Two days later

When I wake up I look around and everything is white, am I dead or alive? I look around and I saw the IV drip that was attached to my hand, I see that I am in the hospital. Later some people enter and I look at them, it is Annie I first saw, I did not even bother to check who the rest of the people are.

"Why did you save me? You should have let me die in peace then I can have rest of mind" I stand up immediately and remove the IV drip attached to my hand and stand up, she holds me and talks but I did not hear what she is saying, I started screaming and thrashing around the room, she holds me and slaps my face.

"Bella, please think about your kids, who will take care of Mia if you die. What is your problem come back to your sense" That is when I look around and found my boss, Natalie, and the last person I expected to be here Nick "Bella please think about your kids, Don't mind what people say or what they will say, live your life. Where is the strong Bella that always told me that everything will be fine If you believe in God and you believe in yourself everything will be fine? Where is the Bella that always told me that I can make it when I said I want to make a name for myself and not depend on my parent's money? Where is the Bella that I know in college that always puts other people before herself? Where is the Bella I know that always have faith and hope, saying everything will be fine? You like to depend on yourself and work hard to earn your money, you don't like free money, you said later the person will talk about it they will at least I am the one feeding you and you don't like that" She stops talking and start crying.

"Please Bella they said you are not worthy to be their wife not like that Bella, they are spoilt brats, jerks, scumbag, and blind that they can't see your worth. You are a good wife and a good mother when you are with Jack, he told you not to have friends, you listen to him, he told you to this and that you listen to him. Whenever you had an argument either he beat you or slap your face yet you listen to him, still yet you stay with him, you make breakfast and dinner for him, you never tell anybody what you are going through even your parent, so tell me what should a good wife do more than that? Do you think he left you because you are not worthy of him? NO, He left because he is not worthy to have a good woman like you. Did you remember the names you gave your daughter in your country language, (OLUWAREMILEKUN – God has dried my tears, AYOMI – my joy) the first day you saw her you said she is your happiness, you said you promise to do your best and gave her a good life, have you forget all that? Don't think about what people say, think about where you are going and focus on your life and your kids" She comes toward me and hugs me

Natalie also talk and said that everything Annie said is true, she said I should stay strong for my kids, my boss also talks to me, Nick just stands there and look at what is going on. After that, I ask about Mia, and Natalie said she is fine and she is in her place. Soon the doctor came in and told me that my baby is fine but I have stressed him or her so much that I need a lot of rest, eat healthy food and take my medicine regularly, she said if I do all that I will be fine and the baby also will be fine. He asks me that where is my husband or the baby daddy to explain some things to him about the medicine, I told him that I don't have a husband and my baby daddy is not here, he has left me and he said he did not want the baby because he is not ready to be a father now, I told the doctor while Nick is standing there hearing everything but he did not say anything, later he walks out that means I am right. Annie talks to the doctor and she said she should explain to her that she will be with me for some time.

I was discharged the next day and went home with Annie but Mia is still with Natalie she said I should rest more that Mia is fine, I said sorry to her and her husband for making them trouble but they said she is a good girl that they love to have her around.  I just her employee nothing else still yet they stand by me. My boss said I should not bother about work again he said he will pay me this month's salary and he also said that he will be paying Mia' school fees till I get better and start working again, I don't know what to say except to thank him.

One week after I was discharged from the hospital, I am at home doing nothing I told my boss that I want to come to work he said no, even Natalie and Annie did not support it for me to work. Annie told me that Nick comes every day to check on me and he is the one that paid my bills in the hospital. I say thanks to him when I was discharged from the hospital.

ALEX P.O.V

Why can't I do anything without not thinking about Bella, when they transferred Bella to the ward and she did not wake up I am so scared. I went there after work to check on her every day. Every time I went there her friend I think her name is Annie is the one I meet there, she is sleeping over with her, whenever she saw me she always frown her face, she did not talk to me, even ordinary hi she did not say to me. Natalie also did not talk to me, After 3 days on my way going there I saw her Bella's friend, Nate and Natalie going inside the ward and I called Nate and he looks at me and he just says hi nothing more than that, Natalie and Annie did not even look at me not to talk of talking to me. When we enter Bella's wardroom we saw her removing her IV drip attached to her hand and she said why did she save her? She should let her die. Seconds later she started thrashing around the ward and her friend slap her face and told her to calm down, she told her to think about her kids and stay strong for them, she said where is the strong Bella she know before and she said those who said she is not worthy to be their wife are blind and they are jerk and scumbag, I know she is referring to me, she said when she was with her ex-fiancé, she always listens to what he said and he told her not to have a friend and when they have an argument he slaps her, still yet she still stays with him and she did not tell anybody, she is really a strong lady but at the end, he is the one that left her. I may be a jerk but I can never hit a woman, I don't know she has passed through all this, yet I told her that she is not worthy to be my wife and I misjudge her that her daughter is from one night she had with another man.

She sits down on the bed crying while listening to what her friend said, after all, that she said she to hug her. All that she said touch my heart as if I should be the one hugging her and calm her down. Later the doctor in charge of her enter, she told her that she needs rest now but her baby is fine and takes her medicine that she will be fine, they are referring to my baby. When the doctor asked her about her husband or her baby daddy for her to explain something about the medicine, what Bella said after that make me feel sad, she said she has not yet married and her baby daddy left her because he did not want the baby, while I am standing here. 'She is not at fault you are the one that said you did not want the baby, idiot' my subconscious said. When the doctor went out Nate and Natalie sit beside her and talk to her, something is telling me to go and apologize to her and hug her to calm down but I walk out and sit on one of the chairs in the hallway, later Nate come and join me and sit beside me.

"I really need to apologize to her," I said

"Can your apology solve all that you caused? If not for your dick that cannot stay in your pant, she will not be here right now and instead of you to talk to her you walk out, that shows that she did not mean anything to you, your apology is useless now," Nate said

She was discharged the next day and she said thanks you to me for paying her hospital bills and she walked past me, I offer to drop her home with her friend but she said no. I feel sad about her rejecting me but I am the one that causes it. It has been one week now that she has been discharged from the hospital and I did not see her or hear anything about her. Since then I can't concentrate on what I am doing most especially when I am sitting inside my living room, I always remember the night I have sex with her on the floor in my living room.

NATE P.O.V

I don't like seeing Bella like this, because I always remember my sister, she was once in the same situation as Bella. She died in an accident when her boyfriend denies her pregnancy and said he is not ready to be a father, she always stays at home and depressed. One day she said she want to go and meet her boyfriend and beg him that maybe he will reconsider her with the baby when we are expecting her to come back, she did not come, later that day there was a call from the hospital that my sister was involved in an accident and she is in critical condition, when we get there she told us that he meets her boyfriend with another woman having sex. She died the next day after the accident. This is the reason why I stand by Bella every time because if I stand by my sister then and stop her from going out or follow her maybe she will still be with us now. I am so sorry Naomi, you will always be in my heart.
