The next morning I go back to the hospital with flowers to decorate his room for as long as he's gonna be there...
As I walk on the isle to his room I see my mom leaving pissed and with tears...
"U little b***h!!!!" She says when she sees me and I stop walking...she comes closer and grabs me by the neck...I drop the flowers and put my hands around her wrist to stop her as she pushes me to a wall
"What did u say to him???" She asks yelling as she tightens her grip...I try to take her hand of me...
"No...nothing...." I say trying to breathe...finally, a nurse comes close and tries to free me while she yells for security...when they come they take her away and I fall to the ground coughing...
"U'll pay for that!!!!" She screams as security gets her out...the nurse checks my pulse and brings me some water
"Thank u..." I say between breaths and I drink it...when I'm ok I get up,take the remains from the flowers and I go to Anthony's room...
"What happened???I heard Anna yelling" he asks worried when I get in the room
"She kept asking me what I said to u while she had her hand around my neck..." I explain,I throw the flowers in the trash can on the other side Of the room and I sit on the chair beside him...
"God...are u ok???" He asks again trying to get himself a little up
"Yeah now I'm good...don't move babe...let me help u..." I say as I help him find a comfortable position
"I didn't know she would react like that..." He says
"What did u say to her anyway??" I ask confused
"I broke up with her...I told her that I felt like crap when I learned she was ignoring the phone when I had the accident and that our relationship isn't going anywhere..." He answers
"U...broke up with her?? Does that mean..." I ask as I sit on the bed beside him
"I'm yours, baby..." He replies smiling...I smile too and I hug him carefully...after a few seconds we break the hug
"Did the doctor see u today?" I ask
"Yeah...everything is fine! I can leave in a few days!" He answers happily
"That's great!! I'll take good care of u!!!" I say
"I can't stay with u...u don't have to do this..." He replies
"What?? Of course I do...basically,I want to do it!!! U can't heal without help and I'm more than happy to help u!!" I insist
"And what are u gonna tell John?" He asks
"that u have no one else and that someone has to take care of u..." I answer
"U know I can call my sister..." He replies
"Noooo!!! U'll stay with me and that's final!" I say
"Ok ok! God, u're a pain in the ass..." He says playfully
"U have no idea...!" I reply and I kiss him gently
~2 months later~
Anthony is finally completely fine...his head and ribs healed perfectly and now he's back to his work...It's finals season tho,so he helps me study...of course he distracts me sometimes when he thinks I need "rest",but he's really helpful...John is barely talking to me...when we speak he tries to change my mind about the baby,but he fails every time...we had some epic fights during the last month...the last time he gave me an ultimatum,that if I have an abortion we're done...He didn't like my answer so he left after calling me a "cold-hearted b***h"...
God only knows how relieved I was...Now I can finally be with Anthony without feeling guilty...
So...today is the day...Anthony and I are waiting for the doctor to get me prepped for surgery...
"Are u sure u want that? I don't mind raising a child with u..." Anthony says as he holds my hand and rubs it with his thumb
"I'm sure...I'm not ready to be a mom...I don't know if I'll ever be... Besides...if I keep it I'll have to find another reason to break up with John...and it's sooo exhausting..." I explain
"Fine...it's your choice...I won't push u,even tho I don't agree..." He replies and kisses my hand...the doctor comes to tell me to go get ready
"Will u be with me when I wake up??" I ask
"Of course,princess..." he answers and we kiss...I leave him in the waiting room and I go get ready...
After a couple of hours, I'm starting to wake up...as my eyes clear from the blur I turn my head on the side and I see Anthony looking at me and holding my hand
"Look who's back..." He says softly as he smiles
"Hey..." I say with a sleepy voice
"How u're feeling?" He asks me
"sleepy..." I answer and he giggles
"That's not what I meant" he says
"I know...I just don't have a better answer...I don't feel something specific..." I reply
"I see...well everything went great...U'll be able to leave in a few hours..." He informs me
"Well...I know it won't be easy for the next few days..." I say
"Yeah...The doctor told me there might be some bleeding for a while..." He replies
"We'll be lucky if it's gonna be "some bleeding"..." I say
"Don't worry...I'll help u get better soon" he says
"I'll have the girls helping me too,so it's ok...also my best friend from Seattle is going to stay in my home till I'm better..." I explain
"That doesn't mean I won't be with u throughout this,princess" he says smiling
"Thank u for supporting me on this,ocean..." I thank him smiling weakly to him
"Don't even mention It...I've told u before...I'll always be here when u need me..." He replies and leans in to kiss me
At around 18.00 we leave the hospital and were heading to my home...
"So...want anything to eat or drink?? I brought your favorite tea..." Anthony says when we get in as he helps me sit on the couch
"No baby...I'm ok...I just wanna sit here until my best friend comes..." I answer
"But u have to eat...u haven't eaten anything since yesterday and the doctor said u should eat well..." He insists
"Anthony...I'll eat later...don't push me...!!" I raise my voice
"Ok, u don't have to yell at me..." He replies a little hurt
"I'm so sorry...my hormones are like crazy now...u know I love u..." I explain looking at him and then I realize what I just said...
"U...what?" He asks
"I...forget it! It was a mistake..." I turn my head the other way
"No no...say it!!! it's not a mistake!!!" He says as he's rushing to sit beside me
"No it was...I rushed..." I continue without looking at him
"Babe,I love u too...so just say it...I've been waiting long enough..." He admits and I immediately turn to look at him in the eyes
"U do??" I ask smiling
"Of course I do...I wouldn't be here if I didn't..." He explains and I lean in to kiss him...after a few seconds the bell interrupts our kiss
"That must be my bff...she has wrong timing..." I say and he gets up to open...
"Hi...I'm..." She starts but I cut her off
"Rafaaa!!!" I scream happily from the couch
"That's me!!!" She screams too as she runs towards me with her suitcase to her hand...she leaves it and comes to hug me
"U b***h!!!!" She says hugging me tightly. ..Anthony closes the door
"Jerk!!!!God I missed u so much" I reply hugging her tight as well
"Well u never visit!" She complains as we break the hug
"Are u kidding? U know I've been through hell..." I Say to her
"I know I know I'm just messing with u!" She replies...Anthony coughs a little to get our attention
"Oh my forgetful ass...Rafa this is Anthony...Anthony this is Jerk..." I say laughing
"Ha ha...very funny bitch..." She replies sarcastically and she gets up
"Nice to meet u, Rafa..." He says smiling giving his hand out for a handshake
"What a gentleman..." She comments taking his hand to do the handshake
"Isn't he the sweetest???" I ask her smiling brightly
"Ok...I'm gonna put the suitcase away while pretending I'm not blushing..." He says and takes her suitcase in my room
"so? What do u think?" I ask her
"He seems nice...but too old for me..." She answers quietly
"I know...isn't he handsome???" I ask again
"U know my taste in men..." She replies
"Oh cut the crap to me...u don't find him attractive,do ya?" I ask
"No...but that doesn't mean he isn't...I mean in general, he is attractive...just not to me..." She answers
"Ok...I get I! we don't have the same taste after all!" I reply
"Exactly...so how u're feeling?" She asks
"Actually pretty good...maybe when the anesthesia wears off I'll be in so much pain...but, for now, I just have some mood swings...I yelled at him just because he told me I should eat at some point..." I reply
"Poor thing...he hasn't dealt with your crazy yet,huh?" She asks and I hit her with a pillow
"Shut up! I'm not crazy" I defend myself and she laughs...Anthony comes to the room
"So Stella called me...she said they'll come later and that I should leave because it's girls night..." He says
"Did u tell them the only thing I can eat today is soup??" I ask
"Yes, and she said they don't mind..." He answers
"Ok then..." I reply
"U know I won't leave,right??? I'll just stay in the bedroom"
"No u won't...I'll be fine! "
"Pfff...but U'll call me if anything happens..." He demands
"Of course,ocean!" I reassure him
"Can I at least stay until they come?" He asks with puppy eyes
"Damn straight u can!" I agree and he sits on the couch...we spent the rest of the day talking until the girls came...Anthony left and we stayed up all night watching movies...the girls loved Rafa...we finally fell asleep some time during the early morning...
