Fated to him

Chapter five

If I was to say that I didn't like Eric, Then I would be lying to myself. Although it hasn't been about 48 hours completely, I knew that I had already fallen in love with him From first sight. Firstly he was handsome and a great cook. What the hell again would I be looking for that I haven't seen and found in him?!!.

So after the breakfast with Eric downstairs I quickly went up to the bedroom, I was nearly lost though but a recurring image of a Werewolf head and other symbols I didn't know about was boldly designed at the entrance of the door so I knew that I just couldn't be possibly lost in this house so far it concerned knowing his room. I entered the room and laid down heavily on the bed because I knew I was overfed , Eric overfed me. You know when coming from a background like I did, you'd know that things just don't work out as you ever or always planned it to be.

My parents were the best people I ever had on this earth before death finally separated us from each other. I didn't come from a wealthy nor rich family but I could say that we were in the middle class. Growing up with both parents doing things together in a lovely way and manner and you being just the only child was what I guess would be every child's dream Especially mine but what I didn't know was that it would all come to pieces before my very eyes.

On This Very Tuesday Morning, mom woke me up as usual to prepare for school and then she instructed me to go and brush my teeth,take my bath and dress up for school so that I could come down for my breakfast which I did without hesitation. Then she served me my food which I started eating immediately and then dad came down to meet with us ,he also was already dressed up for his work I then greeted him the same mom also did. She then served his food as well as hers alongside so when she passed him his food she also sat down and ate with us, who could have known that this would be my last time seeing them together for the very last time. So we were all done in no time and mom went up to freshen up as I and dad waited patiently for her, Dad then started talking to me, telling me that I should be serious with my studies. You know all these parents advice … all these I could remember vividly and then he hugged me and in no time mom came downstairs to meet us, she then helped me put on my school bag and shoe as well as arranging my clothes for me so we then together went to the car but before then Mom also took some minutes of the time to tell me the same thing dad said"be a good girl, don't follow bad friends and….." and then she prayed for me and she took me into the car.

Dad entered the front seat as per the driver and Mom sat near him as his wife and I as their lovely and gorgeous kid sat at the back seat but Mom still had to allow me to go in the car first to seat down so she could buckle up my seatbelts for me, Gosh what a caring Mother!!! Oh Lord my God, how I wished I knew this was the last time for me seeing this her lovely face and that of my Dad too ??. When Mom was through with making sure I was safe from any future occurrences she went back to her seat beside my dad , Dad too looked back at me to make sure I was ok too and then he smiled at me and focused on the wheels in front of him and he immediately kicked the engine and then started driving. If I could say I actually knew how this insane accident that took away my joy and happiness away from me I'd be a liar but from the little memory I have of them and that day, I knew that as soon as Dad started the engine we drove for some distance and then boom ??, A very big trailer/truck that I don't think Dad saw on time was directly headed our direction with full speed but before he could direct the car to another position, the unimaginable happened our car and the trailer were involved in a ghastly accident. At that moment what I remembered was Mom shouting and screaming the blood of Jesus repeatedly and Within a twinkling of an eye our car was crushed into pieces both the passenger and drivers side was compressed because of the size, weight and capacity of the truck, At this point I couldn't really feel my body because it felt numb, I felt blood dropping from my head but I couldn't really tell where it came from and some pains in my legs too but before I fell into what looked like a trance,I could see from the rear mirror that Dad's Face and legs were seriously crushed and he had some scars and drippings of blood from his forehead and blood was also splattered on his T-shirt then I looked towards Mom's side and saw that she was still breathing but she had sustained Injuries to her forehead and her forearm but what really made me know that my Mom so much loved my Dad was that even in that her state of pain and everything she kept whispering dad's name "Christopher Christopher Christopher are you there, are you with me, baby Nooo say something Chrissss, Chris I know you are there just move your body already" This was the only time i actually confirmed to what I normally do here from people saying that 'your mom and dad really love eachother', and whenever I see young people ie girls and boys who say they are in love I do laugh because I believe they don't understood what the word "Love" actually means. And in this state of pain and shock I finally feel into a deep sleep. Still in my sleep, I could hear the voices of people and sirens everywhere and I could feel my body being lifted up but why?.

I woke up in this weird looking room, the lights were on too bright as I managed to blink my eyes open and I could see that my arm,hands and body was already been given drip and long pipes that I don't know where they came from but before I could reason properly I heard a shout from the front of the door "Doctor, Doctor, Doctor she has woken up!?!!" And the manner at which the person spoke was of one that had been patiently waiting for me to wake up, well here wildest dreams had already come to pass. I then saw this man in a white robe coming towards me with a book and pen and he checked my temperature I guessed and my heart beat and documented it on the book. He then went ahead to talk to me,I could see him waving his five fingers at me and saying Hiii I responded with a 'Hi' too. I could see some kind of relief and happiness coming from his end. Who knows what he must have been thinking of at that point in time. He then continued talking to me and asked me 'how's your head feeling, are you feeling hurt or something ' and I kindly replied him "I just feel some slight headache but I guess it would subside if time goes on" he smiled and also documented this words in his book , also continued ' I can't feel my body why??? ' he simply replied that it's all part of the recovery process, that with time I'll begin to feel every part of my body. He then called on the Nurse and said she should take proper care of me in the very best way she can and the nurse simply nodded in assertion "Make sure to clean her up extensively, give her the very best food we have in this hospital as for the now and make sure you don't stress her or something, am I understood?!" She then replied again'' Yes sir", "Alright that would be all for now oh and before I forget miss, what's the name, I then answered 'its Catherina, Catherina Silver" "that's a very nice name" " Thank you sir" "Ok in the absence of everything I would love to take my leave, see you later Catherina bye".
