Chapter 3

Analisa's POV I went to the rooftop of the building and looked over. I felt Declan's arms wrap around my shoulders. "Are you okay baby?" I sighed "Yeah I will be." Declan kissed the side of my head. "I am sorry on behalf of my cousin." I laughed dryly and groaned. "At least someone apologized." He turned me to face him. "Did he not apologize?" I shook my head. "No, he did not say a word to me. He looked very nervous, as if he was about to pass out." "That is no excuse. I am sorry I was not there to prevent it. They took forever to find me something else to wear." And this makes me look at him again. What does he mean by that? He is in a place where there are clothes everywhere. "I am going to only say this once and I hope it does not offend you, but if I find out you are or have cheated on me it will end badly for both parties." He swallows hard and looks nervous. "I would never cheat on you, I swear. It did take them awhile to find me something in my size." "Sure, I will believe you this time, but I find it hard to believe because there are clothes of all sizes here." I turned and walked back to the stairs I took up but I stopped, "Declan, I love you, but if you want someone else, then break up with me beforehand, please, I only want you happy and if that is not with me, then so be it." I walked down and this time I don't hear him following me. I made it back down just in time to change into one of the outfits and get my hair and make-up touched up. I get called to walk so I take a deep breath and clear my mind and do what I have been doing for years. "Yes, that was a huge success. Ana, you did well. You did not let mother down." Wow, I am surprised she did not go off the deep end because a few of the models missed a few steps. "Mother, can I leave now? I am tired and want to rest." She nods and walks off. Well, bye to you too. I huff and go change in my changing room. Being a designer's daughter has perks and that is having my own dressing room along with a personal crew to help me get ready. I change and go to leave when I catch a glimpse of Declan talking to another girl. I would go over there and see what was going on, but to be honest, if I give him trust and he breaks it by cheating on me, then I made a bad decision and my parents were right. I have too many things going on and to add playing investigator is not something I need right now. Yeah, it would hurt because I do love him, but the decision is his to make. I pulled out my phone and called my godmother. It rang two times before I heard her excited voice. "You were magnificent out there sweetheart." "Glad to hear that you liked it. Does that mean you came to see me in action in person?" I heard her and my godfathers laugh in unison. They said "Turn around." I spun around and got extremely dizzy. I go to take a step in their direction only to lose my balance. They caught me and looked at me with concern written all over their faces. "Are you okay? What happened? You do not look well." My godfather asked me. I smile at him and pinch his cheek. "I am just tired." "Okay honey, let's get you home," my godmother says and then he responds. "Wait, didn't you come with Declan and Austin?" I nod "Yeah but I have not seen Austin since the accident and Declan is over there talking to that new model." I point in Declans direction and see she has her hand on his arm as she laughs. My godmother huffed "Excuse me. Are you just going to let that happen? Did I not teach you to fight for what you want?" I hugged her. "If something happens, then it is better for it to happen before we get anymore serious. Besides, you also taught me to observe and let people show you their true self." She purses her lips "Well then, I guess she will be out of a job because I am not going to stand by and observe nothing." She storms off and my godfather laughs "She is going to make a big deal out of it for you." "Yeah, I figured as much. I still love her though." "Me too." Yup, and soon enough, we hear shouting and yelling. We headed in the direction of the noise and saw my mom and godmother in a screaming match with the model and Declan. "You got this kiddo." I sighed and made my way to the four people in a screaming match. I stepped in the middle as my godmother was about to pounce. I said calmly "Enough, no need to cause a scene. We are all adults here, so let's calm down and speak rationally please." But of course nothing goes as planned and I feel someone yanking my hair back. Since I was already dizzy, I fell to the ground with a thud. My mother looks pissed and my godmother's eye is twitching as she jumps over me and tackles the girl to the ground, making her release my hair. To my surprise, my mother crouched next to me and started looking me over. "Ana, are you okay?" I nodded and looked back to where the fight was going and saw Declan pulling that girl into his arms. He locks eyes with me and immediately lets the girl go. I stood up on shaky legs and walked off. I am done with today. I am not playing security for my godmother and I am not going to make a scene because Declan chose to help another. I made it all the way outside when I heard someone shout my name. I slightly turned back to see Declan running towards me but I did not stop and got into the backseat of my car and told the driver to take me home. I had my driver on standby. I can never expect anyone to give me a ride when I need it. I lean my head against the window to try to stop the throbbing, but my peace and quiet are interrupted by my phone ringing. I pulled it out and turned it off. I will deal with those consequences tomorrow. Soon, my driver pulls up to the cold empty mansion. I got out and made my way inside and almost had a heart attack because my father came rushing to me. "My sweet Lisa, are you okay?" Now I remember why I was named Analisa. "I am happy to see you father but I am tired from the day I have had." "Your mother said you were injured multiple times today. I will call the doctor to come check on you, go rest." "Father. Please, do not allow any other visitors for tonight." I went to my room and closed the door but left it unlocked. I changed into my nightwear and lay in my bed. I looked at the clock and saw it was only 9pm. An extra hour of sleep here I come. I go to close my eyes but get the urge to throw up. I turned to the side and threw up on the floor. Yuck. I cannot believe I did that. I started to feel dizzy again and the pain was worse in my head. I heard my door open with a bang and I think I heard my father's voice. I did not get to find out because I passed out when I tried to get a better look. I hear the sound of beeping and it is getting annoying. I try to open my eyes but it is hard to keep them open. I blink a couple of times and that helps enough for me to open them fully. This is not my room, this is a hospital room. The smell of disinfectant gives it away. I looked around the room and saw flowers and gifts, but no one else was in the room with me. Of course, what did I expect? I push the call button and a few minutes later a nurse walks in and moves to my side. "How are you feeling sweetie? Any discomfort, nausea, dizziness?" "Yeah, my head still hurts but nothing else." She grabs the chart and writes something down. She checks me over and tells me she will notify the doctor I am awake and I am having discomfort in my head still. I am left alone again. The time moves by so slowly, but soon enough, the doctor walks in and she asks me questions and answers a few of mine. Turns out I have been out for a week. My body had to heal my head and side and it took awhile because, according to the doctor, I needed to eat more. I have overworked my body and, with a slight concussion, my body couldn't take it. My parents must be furious with me. They always tell me time is money and I just lost a week of it. I am never going to hear the end of it. My parents were here on the first night but left after that and have not been back. The only people to visit me were my godparents. The doctor is going to discharge me tomorrow if everything checks out. I look around again and see my phone is charging. I grabbed it and noticed it was turned on but was in silent mode. That is strange. I open the messages and see 60 missed calls from Declan and over 40 texts from him. I read all the texts and see they are apologies. I take a few deep breaths and call him, which he answers on the first ring. 'Hello babygirl are you there?' 'Hey' 'I am so sorry I should have been by your side. I messed up, please forgive me.' 'Did you cheat on me?' 'No I never. I love you.' 'Then why are you apologizing?' 'I was talking to another girl. I even allowed her to touch me and I helped her instead of helping you.' 'So you realize your mistake?' 'Yes baby I am sorry I will never do it again, I promise.' 'Alright, if that is all you had to say. Bye' I do not have the time to listen to his useless apologies. I need him to prove it through actions. He should know that by now words mean nothing if not followed by an action. I got another notification and it was a text from an unknown number 'Hey Analisa, I hope you are okay. I am sorry for not apologizing when I knocked you over or when I hurt you and, because of my clumsiness, you ended up in the hospital. Please tell me how to make things right.' I chuckled. Austin this dumb kid again. How did he get my number? I text back. 'Actions speak louder than words.'
