"Mom what are you doing? Give me my phone! I have to see where the hospital address is." I say trying to take my phone from her hand.

"No! You aren't. I told you that that was the last time you're going to see him." She replies.

"Please! He's wounded and I have to go and see him. Please mom! Just one last time and then I'll even accept to marry Armando without saying anything if you just let me see him. Please!" I beg at her falling to my knees.

"Is all this crying worth it for that boy Mia?" She asks.

"Everything is worth it when it comes to him." I reply in a sobbing voice.

"Hmm... okay then. I'll agree to this because I know you'll keep doing mistakes over and over again but Damian has to escort you and don't forget that if someone learns about our conversation... you already know what will happen." She says in a calmer tone.

"Thank you! Thank you very much." I reply to her trying to smile a little as I wipe the tears from my eyes then I run to Damian's room to ask him to take me to the hospital.

He immediately accepts but while we are on the way to the hospital I avoid looking at him the whole time because I know that he will begin to ask me a bunch of questions about mom and Bryan.
I'd love to talk with someone but I'm not in the mood for a conversation because I'm more worried about Bryan and I can't stop thinking about what my mother asked me to do again and again.

I'm thinking about «things» that my mother asked me, which is not to tell anyone about our conversation my baby and marriage. The last one is the worst because I have to marry a person called Armando which I barely know.
I mean yeah I somehow knew him when I was little because our parents were always good friends but that's years ago. I mean that's what my mother told me anyway."

"Mia... are you okay?" Damian asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about." I reply simply.

"You don't look fine Mia. Are you hiding something from me? Do you want to tell me something?" He asks.

"I said I'm fine Damian! There's no need to ask a bunch of questions to learn that.
I'm just going to see him for the last time to say goodbye. That's all." I reply to him as I look through the window.

"For the last time? What do you mean you're going to see him for the last time?"

"I don't like him anymore. Not after what I learned about him that's all. In fact, I've been talking to someone else these days and I think I really like him a lot." I tell him trying to look as much convenient as I can even though saying these words hurts. But I have to. I have to say them for our own good.

"Are you kidding me? How can you say that Mia? I thought you loved him and I'm so damn sure he loves you just like I thought you loved him."

"Love doesn't exist Damian! Haven't you understand this by now?"

"Bro... sorry for saying this but you're fucked up. I don't understand you at all." He says as he parks the car in front of the hospital door.

I rush out of the car as soon as he stops the car. I run towards the hospital because I don't want him following me. I really don't want to talk to him. I'm in weak state. I have a lot on my mind and I need to know if Bryan is okay.

"Mia wait up! Do you want me to come with you?" Damian says and I dig my heels on the floor tired of hearing.

"No you stay there. I won't be long." I reply to my brother as I get inside the hospital.

I run up the stairs to Bryan's room and I see him laying in the bed while nurses are checking on him.

I find Harper, Liam and two other people that I haven't seen before but the girl looks a lot like Bryan so I suppose she's his sister. Sia I think her name was.

"Hey Harper. Is he... is he okay?" I manage to ask her.

"Mia! I'm so happy that you're here?" Harper says crying as she hugs me tightly.

"Me too." I reply as hug her back.

"Is... is he okay Harper?"

"They don't know yet.
When he came to the hospital he had already lost a lot of blood so they took him immediately into the surgery room to operate him. He's made it through surgery but..." She says but I cut her off.

"But? He's going to be okay right?" I begin to ask her but before she replies the doctor and  some other nurses come immediately to Bryan's room.

"Hurry up! The patient is going through a heart attack." I hear the doctor say to the nurses.

"Bryan!!" I yell from outside the glass window.
-Please hang on «my everything». Please hang on for us. Don't give up on us.
Me and our child needs you to be alive even though you're not going to be with us.

"His heart rate are going down! Bring the defibrillator now!" The doctor yells.

-Please baby! Please Bryan come back to us! I can't live knowing that you're not going to be in this world. Knowing that you're not breathing the same air as me. I need you baby. You're my everything. You're the light of my eyes the reason why I'm still alive.

"We're losing him!" The doctor says.

"No!" I yell as I open the door and walk inside.

"Bryan! Bryan please open your eyes! You can't do this to me! I can't live without you baby!" I say as soon as I walk inside as I try to reach him through the nurses who are constantly asking me to go outside.

"Please miss. You're just making things worse." One of the nurses says but before I respond to her the loud noise that until now was beeping in a slow rhythm now is replaced by a deafening sound that is just going in a straight line.

"What... what happened!?" I ask the doctor.

"I'm so sorry to inform you about this but.." He begins to say but I cut him off.

"No! He's not dead! He would never leave me alone." I say crying as I go to his bed to take his hand in mine.

"Bryan please! You promised me that you're never going to leave me. You promised!" I yell as hot tears cover my face.

"Miss..."

"He's not dead! Did you hear me?
He's just resting because he's tired. Right baby? Right Bryan? Come on baby tell them that you're just resting."

"Wake up Bryan!! Please!! Just this once!! I need you!! Bryan! Aghhhh!! Bryan! Bryan! Aghhhhh!" I say gashing on my mattress near his bed while screaming his name.

"Mia stop please." Harper says while grabbing my yanks.

"He's not dead! I will not let him leave me like this! Help me! Somebody please help me bring him back.
"Bryannn!! Please come back to me baby! You can't just leave me like this.
Bryan!!" I yell as hot tears cover all of my face.

"Mia please." Harper and others say crying as they try to take me outside.

"Bryan?!" I shout but this time my voice is louder.

"Pip... pip... pip..." The monitor starts making a sound.

"Bryan?" I say as I lift my head up to look at him.

"I can't believe it. He returned to life. This is unbelievable." The doctor says.

"Baby!" I say crying while I kiss his hand.

"This is a miracle. I haven't seen this happen in years." The doctor confesses.

"He's my miracle." I say in a low voice.

"Please miss you have to get out now. We have to take care of the patient. You can see him later. He needs to get some rest." The doctor explains.

"Yeah Mia let's just wait outside." Harper and Liam say as they help me to get up.

"I love you baby. «Always and Forever» no matter what." I whisper in his ear as I give him a small kiss on his forehead then I walk outside the room.

"How did this happen?" I ask them.

"He got into a fight with me and some of my guards and he took out his knife and while my guards were trying to take the blade off his hands he got wounded." The blonde guy with tattoos who's standing next to Bryan's sister explains.

"Hhh... are fucking kidding me?" I say chuckling.
"Bryan never carries a knife with him."

"This time he was." He replies.

"You can say whatever you want but you can never convince me that the blade was Bryan's. Maybe the blade was yours. Maybe you did this!" I yell.

"Relax Mia. My boyfriend would never hurt my brother." Sia says.

"What? You refuse to believe that the blade was his yet you believe that the blade was Bryan's instead?" I ask her surprised but she doesn't say anything.

"What kind of sister are you?" I say then I walk a few steps away from them.
A few seconds later my phone rings.

"Yeah."

"Are you done yet? You have to come home to get ready because Armando and his family are coming to have dinner with us." Mom says.

"He hasn't woken up yet." I say to her.

"I don't care about that. Our deal was for you to go and see him. Not to wait till he wakes up." She replies.

"But mom..."

"No but! You have to come home now or I'll come there to take you."

"Okay then." I say in a low voice then I hang up the phone.

"Hey Harper I'm going to the bathroom." I inform her.

"Okay. Do you want me to come with you?" Harper asks.

"No. There's no need for that." I reply simply then I start walking away but instead of going to the bathroom I go toward the exit.
When I reach the secretary table I ask her for a piece of paper and a pen to write a letter to Bryan as I go to the cafeteria sitting in one of the tables.

Dear love of my life,

I never thought that one day I'll be sitting in a table writing a letter for you while you're laying on the bed fighting death.
But here I am. Trying to find the right words to explain you why I'm doing this.

You were everything to me. I love the way you looked at.
I loved the way you made me feel every time you touched me.
I loved you with everything I had and somehow I know you loved me too. If not? That's okay.

We were so happy, Bryan.
You and I. Or at least that's how I thought we were. But now, here I am. Asking myself how things could ever work out like this.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Bryan but I can't do this anymore.

It's too much for me.
We are too much for each other and after what I heard, I think it's better if we just stay away from each other.
It's hard for me to say this but I know I'm doing the right thing for both of us.

I can't keep saying «what if» every time one of us makes a mistake. What if it's my fault? What if I shouldn't say that? What if he's right?
I can't anymore Bryan.

We both deserve someone to love us for who we really are and not for the person who we're trying to be. It's not fair.

I know that you may think that I'm selfish and I'm doing this for myself but that's not true.

I'm doing this for us. That's all you need to know.

Anyway... this letter wasn't supposed to be these long but I just want you to know that:

You were the first but I guess you can't be the last.
I wish that someday you'll find someone to love you for who you really are more than I did.

With love, Mia.

When I finish writing it, I fold the letter in two then I walk to the secretaries desk.

"Can you please give this to Mr. Bryan White as soon as he starts to feel better? I would really appreciate that." I say to the girl.

"Sure miss. No problem." She replies as she takes the letter from my hand.

"Thank you very much." I say smiling then I start walking away.

"Are you okay? I thought you were going to stay a little bit more." Damian says as I'm trying to put my seat belt on when I get inside the car.

"I stayed enough." I reply simply without looking at him because if I do, I'll end up crying like a fucking idiot and he would insist to tell him the reason why I'm crying.

"Okay then. If you say so." Damian says while he's driving.

When we arrive home everything is shining and the smell of some white flowers on the table has filled the whole air around the house.

"Damian you're here." Mom says as soon as she sees us.

"Yes mom but what is all this about?"

"We're having guests tonight so go upstairs quick and get ready."

"Who's coming?" Damian asks her.

"Armando Gonzales with his family now hurry up and go upstairs. You Mia come with me to my room."

"Okay." We both reply in the same time.

"Here take this dress and put on some makeup because you look like hell." Mom says as she hands me a white dress.

"I'm not going to wear this dress mom."

"Yes you are. End of discussion."

"But..." I begin to say.

"Mia! Don't make me do things that I don't want to. Now do as I said and come to the living room because they'll be here at any minute." Mom says then walks outside the room.

As soon as I get ready I go to the living room to sit in one of the chairs when suddenly the door bell rings and a few seconds later mr and mrs Gonzales, dad's job partner enter the room followed by a tall guy around my age I think whom I suppose is their son. Armando.

"Isabella! Long time no see." Mrs.Gonzales says as she hugs my mom.
"By the way you look gorgeous as always."

"I'm flattered.
You also look flawless darling."  Mom replies to her and she smiles.

"Is this your daughter?" She asks mom.

"Yeah, this is my daughter. Mia."

"I see she looks gorgeous just like you." She says smiling as she extends her hand to me.

"Hello Mia."

"Hello madam." I reply simply.

"Please call me Helena." She says.

"Armando aren't you going to meet with Mia?" Mom says to the tall guy.

*Authors note
( say hello to our new character) Armando Gonzales 😏

He looks like a nice person and I don't know why but he looks familiar to.

"Hi Mia." He says smiling a little.

"Hey." I reply simply without looking at him.

"That's it?" He asks rising one eyebrow at me.

"Huh?"

"Come on! Don't you remember me at all? We used to be best friends when we were little." He says smiling. I jerk back a little surprised.

"We were best friends?" I ask.

"Really? Maybe this scar will remind you something." He says as he lifts his shirt a little to show me the almost faded scar on the side of his abs that I accidentally had caused while we were playing pirate games.
My heart almost jumps out of my chest as I realize its him. Armando.

"Armando!" I say surprised as I remember the times we used to play together

"Finally." He says laughing a little.
"What took you so long?"

"What? You've changed a lot. How I was supposed to remember you? You disappeared when I was eight years old and I didn't hear anything from you since then." I explain.

"Yeah... I guess you're right." He says as he runs his hand through his hair.

"I see you too are having fun." Mom says as she comes towards us.

"Sorry Ms. Williams. We didn't realize that everyone was gone except from us." Armando says.

"It's okay you're just having a conversation with your future wife to get to know her better." Mom says and we both look down.

"Let's go to the dinner table. Shall we?" Mom says.

"You two go. I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute." I say as I walk away from them.

"I can't believe that he's going to be my husband in two weeks. Agh... this is hard. I'd rather marry a person that I don't know rather than my childhood best friend." I say to myself while I look at my reflection in the mirror.

"Mia is everything okay?" Armando says as he knocks on the bathroom door.

"Yeah... everything is fine." I reply.

"Okay. Are you done yet?" He asks again.

"Just a second." I say as I dry my hands with a towel then I slowly open the door and he looks at me.

"They asked me to check on you." He says nervously.

"Oh... okay." I reply simply then I start walking towards the living room but he grabs my hand stopping me.

"I didn't want this to happen." He says as he looks into my eyes.

"You didn't?" I ask him surprised.

"No. Of course not. I mean I have to admit that you're a lot more beautiful than I expected you to be but I can't. You were my best friend." He says.

"So why are you doing this then when you could easily say no?"

"There are some things that you don't know Mia and it's better for you if you don't know them but all you need to know is that this marriage, is just for the sake of our parents and you will be always safe." He explains.

"This is so confusing. Everyone keeps saying that I don't know things and no one doesn't even explain shit to me."

"Is everything okay sis?" Domenic says as soon as he sees us.

"Yeah everything is just fine! No need to worry." I say sarcastically as I walk away from them.
