You runs in my Blood

Chapter 7: My Responsibility

Mandy Pov

It is not really easy at all going to lectures without Blair. I've become so attached to her that this few days without her made me feel incomplete. Anyone at the campus can comfirm that. Felicity has sacrified herself to be with Blair telling me not to miss any of my lectures. Her theory being that since she attends online, it more easy for her..she can do it anywhere unlike me. She even told Blair's parents not to bother because of their condition. She's being updating them every second via video call. She has even been so close to them, more closer than I've been in my 3 years with Blair, that is what she achieved in 3 weeks. I took the stairs to lecture..too lazy for the elevator. "Hey...hey...hey Mandy..." I turned as I was about to climb the first step to see who was calling me. "I've been following you right from gate" she said approaching me sarcastically, "You've succeeded right?...I bet your green flag is now flying above the world" she said wagging her right hand acrose my face."Good morning Blanca..what did I win?" I asked confusely. "don't act dumb with me when you know exactly what you and your friend did" she said almost throwing her her face at me. "Blanca heaven knows I don't know even abit what you're talking about, what did my friend and I did that I have no clue of?" Before I knew what was happenning she landed a slap on my face, "heaven is not for people like you" she ranted "what?.." I still don't know what she was talking about "how dare you mention heaven and act dumb with me when you and your friend are scheming on how to take my fiance from me? who on her right mind wouldn't see a truck coming her way before she crosses except the person on a mission?" I don't think when I get angry. She just have insulted me...1 she slapped me...2 she blamed my friend for what her fiance did to Blair. I registered my hand on her face and before she could balanced from the slap I sent another one to her other cheek. I lifted her jaw with my two fingers and felt satisfied on how my ten fingers were now registered on her face, I drew her face closer to mine, "never you in your entire life lay your filthy hand on my face again nor blame my friend for the atrocity committed by your so called fiance" her face now looked broken and I continued "and noboy is taken anything from you because you actually have nothing" now her face changed to confussion "oh Blanca... I know you... yes I know you, you think your own flag is flying because Felicity doesn't know you? well bad news 'cause I do and...oh should I tell her? I mean tell her who you are? oh don't worry I wouldn't make it my business..atleast not now" she removed my fingers from her jaw. "but Blanca lemme ask you, why do you always feel insecure whenever there is a third party close you? It hurt that you don't trust your partner because of who you are.." she cut me off, "who am I miss know-all? you spit as if you've known me from birth.. who do you think I am or you think you can threaten me?..God Mandy...I'm not that vulnerable or transparent as you think..you know nothing about me" " I know you don't love Felicity, I know you don't trust her, I know you feel insecure, I also know that she's not meant for you..God Blanca what's your endgame here..huh?" "who is she meant for? huh... answer me...oh you think she's meant for your half dead half paralysed friend at the hospital bed? why not pray she survive it first before becoming her match maker. It wouldn't be bad if you pray for her life first before given her hand in marriage or are you that desparate that you want to marry her off in dead" I try to slap her again but she held my hand and drew it down. She pointed her index finger at me, "stay away from my fiance, stay away from Felicity or..." I cut her off "tell your fiance to stay away from us, doesn't she knows how to walk away from Blair?..she does but she still chosed to stay with her. I'm sorry but not sorry that she chosed to stay with Blair at this critical condition.." "I say stay the f**k away from my fiance or you'd leave to regret the day you set your feets in this academic" she threatened. "enough with this empty threat Blanca...why not tell your fiance to leave us alone so that we can have our peace...enough with this threat..you're transparent and we all know what you can do.. so spare me with this..." she raise her hand up against me but decided to leave it hanging, "you'll hear from me I tell you...you will surely hear from me" and she left me there standing. I was wondering what she could do because she left me with a threat. I truly fear for Blair's life now more than before or ever. As for me I know She won't lift a finger on me but I'm not so sure about Blair. I don't feel so good to attend my first class, already I've consumed half the time so I went to the library. One hour later I went to my next lecture Ent 316 (Entrepreneurial feasibility Study) and so I had the rest of my lectures for the day. I took a cap to the hospital. I needed to switch with Felicity that is if she allows it or how she'll react with me after what happened between her fiance and me, I don't know.

I reached the hospital and found Felicity sleeping. Her head was resting on top of Blair's tommy. She was sleeping so soundly and peacefully. This was my second times of seeing her sleep beside Blair and the situation always seemed calm and comfortable. I pictured them looking like a happy married couples but I know that thought is far fetch. Blanca would never allow any one near Felicity for any reason. But I wouldn't blame her. Her girlfriend has everything a man and a woman would want. She's beautiful, rich, sweet, selfless and hard working. So accumodative and friendly and generous in everything. Looking at Felicity made me jealous of Blanca and I bet everyone is too. How Blanca even met her was one big mystery to us. Blair kept asking me how, where, and when Blanca met Felicity as if I am Blanca's personal Assistance. I watched her sleep for a while before she woke up.

"God..you're here" she said dizzing around.

"mmm" I replied.

"How was lecture today" she asked

"why did you not attend" I replied

"what! I attended. I had my..."

" No you didn't" I cut her off knowing she was going to defend her lie again.

"Actually, I wanted to, see my laptop" she pointed at her laptop which was on top of the hospital table. "but then I started feeling dizzy and... and...." She stuttered. I find it deepless and remorsefull that she set aside her life and world and everything about hers and picked up Blair's. I mean she is totally and more caring, how could she have abandoned her company and education for Blair's sake? It's interesting how she is putting more efforts in Blair than in her education and company, "You know abondoning your education will not give Blair an instant cure or divine healing" She stare at me scratching her jaw, "I'm not abandoning my education and my company, I'm handling it pretty well from here thank God for the internet" she assured and I decided to rest the case and from the look of she've not been updated about me and Blanca's banter,

"had any lunch?" I asked the helpless woman

"no. But I bought lunch and dinner in the morning while coming." she answered

"I also got us lunch, so how do we do it?" I informed.

"we eat what you bought first then we will know what to do next." she spoked convincingly.

I set the table and we started eating. "How is Blair" I finally asked.

"she moved her hand today" she said excitedly.

"what? Are you sure?" I asked amazed.

"mmm. Josh said a nurse reported she moved her hand and while he was diagnosing her she opened her eyes"

"oh Jesus, thank you... My Blair, oh my God! I know you'll fight this battle and win" I continueed to speaked while Felicity watched me.

"let them know that you never planned to hurt yourself for anybody."

"woowoo, wait, who said that? She retorted.

" your fiance. " I answered with honesty.

"I'm sorry, did she cause you any trouble?" she spoke apologetically.

"none that I couldn't handle" she was just being stupid and jealous and overprotective of you. " I said honestly.

" I know but I have told her not to worried beside now is not the time to act protective, not until Blair is completely cured and out of this hospital because she didn't choose to be here. I put her here into this condition. She needs me, I need her to know that I am taking responsibilities." she explained

As I watched her talked and to be frank I kept picturing her with Blair as a happy married couples. Felicity and Blanca is just an offjoint. Felicity doesn't deserve some punishment like Blanca even if she killed American president. She deserves a good reward like Blair but then who am I to judge or to decide who deserves who. I grinned at my own thought. I was beginning to sound like Blair. She always found ways to infect anyone around her with her attitude. Looking at Felicity, I felt worried for her. Has she known who or what her fiance is, I don't think she would extend the olive brunt bearing her cross "so what also did the Doc said?" I asked cutting my thoughts.

"He said that Blair has a lot of hatred in her. That she's in a dark place and she preferred being there rather than facing the cruel world. She needs someone to show her love and tell her some good stories. Something that will make her see how much she's missing, she needs caring and... Josh said a lot of things but something happened. When I mentioned a certain name Hendric she went into panic." Felicity narrated everything.

"how did you know that name? " I asked surprised

"Blanca... Blanca said Hendric is Blair's boyfriend and I wanted to tell her some good stories about Hendric, she started panicking and...."

"That was because Hendric is not a good story." I muttered. I wanted to tell her all about Hendric and Blair but that will make me a blabber. It's Blair right to tell her whenever she wants to or if she ever wants to. I just hope she won't go around asking her fiance about Hendric. Looking at Blair who laid so helpless yet she seem to be resting, who knows what's running through her subconscious mind. I wonder where she is and how dark that place is. Hendric must have crossed the line this time if Blair could habour such hatred in her heart for him. I don't know how to deal with this news whether to be happy or sad at least finally when she wakes up she would have nothing to do with that monster again. I felt relieved. Today has just ended with 2 good news for me. I smirked at my thoughts. I checked my phone and it was few minutes past nine.

"Felicity why not go home and rest, I'll stay with her tonight" I suggested.

"No Mandy, I want to be here when she open or move her hand again." I declined

"You and I know that she might not do that again at least not now, that might take some days or weeks, we don't know..."

"Exactly, we don't know... when she'll wake up again which is why I should stay. I...I just... I just want to be the first person she sees when she wake up" she defended caressing Blair's face and I so much love what she's doing.She draw her libs closer to Blair's face and for a second I thought she wanted to kiss her but she moved her libs to her forehead and kiss her "I don't know but I really want to be here when you wake up. I want to be the first person you see, I want you to know that I'm not going anywhere till the end of this problem...I'm not leaving your side" she kissed her on the cheek and stroke her face.

"You have a responsibility unlike me, you have a woman waiting for you at home. Please don't keep her waiting." I persuaded.

"Blair is also my responsibility Mandy and she needs me more now than Blanca. Ah... Blanca's a grown woman. She might act rude or extravant with me or any one but she is an understanding woman." she pressed. The Blanca I know is quite different from the Blanca she knows.

"Alright, so are you going home?" I nagged.

"Not a problem but...you...have morning lecture tomorrow, what are you gonna do about it?" she reminded.

"we have morning lecture. You and I, don't forget that." I input.

"Mandy I understand you but business... my business is my studies. All am doing here is just fulfilling some siderules. That's why am studying. If I don't take care of my company it will be taking away from me, so I can't leave my business for studies."she improvised.

"let's go home then tomorrow we'll depart to our various offices. Blair is fine. She can do fine alone tonight. We'll check on her tomorrow." I said

"sound cool...common...I can drop you." she offered.

Blair Pov

I told you when Mandy comes I'll know whatever that I want to know right? Well now she'd come and just a little click from her I remembered everything. Okay...now Hendric is mg boyfriend and he treats me like s**t. Blanca is Felicity's girlfriend and Mandy said she's taking responsibility and that means...Wait... oh my body... I was hit by a car...Oh my Stupid...I left Hendric's place and... s**t! Oh Blair way too far to go," now I remembered everything. "so It was Felicity's car...huh... she was the one driving that truck and oh God...Blair...Blair...Blair why...now I have to find a way to leave here 'cause I wouldn't want Blanca to send what's left of me to the abeast. Blair is time to wake up now...fight your demons...wake up and fight your demon" I said to myself. "the way this woman used to talk to me always send chill to my vein. Her touch makes me swallowed and I feel butterfly in my belly. Was the betterfly always there or was she the one sending them there... because I just found out that whenever she touches me they started flying inside me and my body become so small to contain the joy that I'd even want to touch her back to extend the feelings.

But She's off market. She's Blanca's woman so whatever my heart is doing will land me into more trouble than I am already. Blanca is not a joker. Let's tackle the problem at hand.. I have to wake up.. I must have to wake up..I'm becoming more liability to her.?
