Chapter 40
Come on guys you can do better with the views on Lucifer and My bodyguard.
She cussed Leon and I about hiding the truth about Michael from her. We decided not to tell her the crap about it's better she didn't know. She already shoved it into our faces that we better not say it for it's bullshit. She even told us that she hate us. I'd never seen her so upset.
Nicolas gave Lenoy free passes to the estate whenever he feels. I guess he's trying to co-op with him because he's Akeilia's baby daddy. I know Nicolas is deeply hurt, mainly too because of Michael's current condition, but he made a promise to Daniel that he'd protect Akeilia no matter what. So even if he hate her for what happened, he'll just have to keep pretending. I know he doesn't hate her, but I'm sure he would've loved to have another grandchild, especially by Akeilia.
However, Lenoy seems like a really sweet guy nonetheless. It's as if he mainly visit the estate to check on Michael. He's almost like the the real Michael. Almost. Naaah not even close, but he seems to be a really nice guy.
Few days had passed and Akeilia wouldn't leave Michael side, apart from when she took her bath and... Barely ate. I feel so distant from her. The worst part of it. she refused to speak. to anyone. I don't even think she spoke to Michael. Even though I wouldn't know because I've never slept in there with her.
I can't believe she hadn't said anything other than the other day she cussed Leon and I. She slept beside Michael every night. She wouldn't even leave the room. She made sure to lock it so that no one could enter apart from when the maids brought her food.
It breaks my heart to see her like this and mostly too because Michael wouldn't wake up. I thought Akeilia was his source of recovery. Why can't he wake up? Will it take a few months? Years?
I shook away the thought. So much can happen in a few years. Moreover a few months.
Today Eva had to get serious on Akeilia. She'd gave her enough time. Now she wants to see her son, so Akeilia had to open the door. Even though she barely wanted to. Unlike Nicolas, Eva doesn't hide her feelings towards Akeilia at all. She doesn't convey hatred towards her. She just don't say much to her and I think that's what is killing Akeilia the most. She's blaming herself for what happened to Michael and she believes that Eva does too. She probably doesn't want to speak because she's afraid Michael wouldn't want to hear what she has to say or her voice at all. It ached my heart seeing her this way.
After Eva and Nicolas left, Michael friends at the estate showed their respects by giving there visit. After everyone left, Wendy, Sara and Debra stayed back. Akeilia is laying beside Michael. I couldn't stand the sight of them, so I left the room standing at the doorway. Leon had to go to work.
I sigh.
Nicole came back a few days ago from wherever she traveled to. She tried talking to her, but she ended up crying instead and left, for Akeilia wouldn't even talk to her. Nathan tried, Nicolas tried, Wendy tried, lenoy, Leon who's so good at persuasion tried, even Eva herself sucked up whatever feelings she's carrying against her tried. But no result. She just laid there staring into space.
Everyone is frustrated at this moment. The mood of this place is like a cemetery. Dead and empty.
I need to coax her to speak. Even to Michael. What if he's yearning to hear her voice? Or what if she spoke to him privately..I just don't know what to do.
I believe she'll talk to me whenever she's ready. But ready feels like never. Her eyes are red and puffy, her face a bit swollen, she even look as if she lost a little weight. Jesus please help her. Help all of us.
Not even our baby makes Leon and I happy anymore. Akeilia and Michael worked their way into us that much. As always and I don't want Leon and I to quarrel because of it.
“Michael is gonna wake up soon and everything is gonna be alright”. I heard Wendy say.
“Sometimes...sometimes life isn't what you expect it to be. This minute your happy and the next.. everything just... disappeared”. She got silent. I closed my eyes and lay my head back on the wall.
“I'm telling you this from experience... Two years ago my husband and I...We were so happy we thought that nothing could break us apart...until”. I opened my eyes.
“Until our two year old son Jamie, died. He was playing with his toys running around on the lawn like a normal kid, laughing with his sweet tiny voice. We got distracted for a moment...just a freaking moment...The next thing we heard, was a car skidding then a loud thud”. Oh my god. I walk at the doorway.
“I...I'm sorry”. Akeilia spoke after a while.
I sigh.
A part of me was thinking that she's traumatized by what happened to Michael, but it's obvious that the real reason she isn't talking to Leon and I is because she's upset with us for not telling her. For Eva, Nicolas and everyone else, I don't know.
Wendy never offended her in any way so it was easier to respond to her. I just wish she'd say something to me. I prefer she cussed me like what she did a few days back. It would've felt much better. I'm not use to her like this. Usually when she's sad or angry she spoke to me, even if she was angry at me. She'd tell me whatever she's feeling. Straight up. I wish she'd do the same now.
It hurts thinking about what Wendy just said. Its making me believe that there's no place in this world that's safe anymore. Look at what happened to Akeilia, pour little Jamie and many more. It makes me wonder what the future holds for my child.
“Yeah, but we had to move on”. Wendy sniff. “Tell yourself that you'll move through this. Don't sit down everyday feeling sorry for yourself for something you can't change. We lost Jamie, but we still have each other. Think about it Akeilia. What have you lost? Really just think about it. Michael is still alive...and you still got your little one growing inside you...I lost my Jamie”.
“I'm... I'm sorry you lost Jamie. But our situations are different. You probably won't understand”.
“I do und-”.
“What Wendy is saying is true Akeilia. We know that Michael is not the father___ but he still really love you. Both of you can work things out”. That piece of shit Sara!
In anger I leaned from the wall.
“Sara that's not your business!” Wendy snapped. I started walking back towards the room.
“What's that on the ground Sara?” I stopped at the doorway after hearing Akeilia's voice. I peek inside wondering what she's talking about. Akeilia is already standing beside Sara who's next to Debra with a flower vase, slowly picking out the roses one by one dropping them on the floor.
“Um, what are you talking about?” Sara smiled uncomfortably before looking at Debra.
“Answer the question”. They all looked at the floor. Including me. I hope my friend is going mad. Anything else but that.
“Um...r-roses?”
Akeilia turned the vase upside down emptying it as if she ran out of patience.
“No Sara. Your wrong”.
Holy shit!
I rushed inside after Akeilia hit Sara at the side of her head. Shattered pieces of glass bouncing on floor. she collapsed with a loud thud.
Debra screamed.
“You are!” She yelled pointing.
“Don't pretend as if you care about me because you and everyone else in this room knows your not. Don't you think what I'm going through is enough? Don't f*ck*ng tease me about it!” She look at Debra a way I've never seen before. Debra stepped back a few times, frightened. Wendy just look from Sara to Akeilia, obviously not knowing what to do or say.
I know how angry Akeilia can get. I know her limit. But I never expected her to do this. This is a side of her I've never seen before. She would battle with your conscience whether or not she should and she'd decided against it. I was the badass. I was the one who fought for her at school or anywhere else. She always told me it's ok with a genuine smile and I would flare into more flames thinking of how stupid she is. But that was before her abuse. She was so sweet.
I look in her eyes. Lost, emptiness, despair and anger are surfacing.
“What's going on- oh my god!” Eva screamed, rushing towards Sara followed by everyone else. It's obvious they heard the glass shattered.
I'm not horrified that she hit Sara. That bitch had it coming. This actually lightens my mood.
“What happened?” Eva asked checking Sara's pulses. At least she's not dead. She's moving a bit.
Akeilia went back on the bed sitting at Michael's waist. She put her face in her palms crying. She's so depressed. She probably didn't even wanna hit her, but she's undergoing so much pressure and Sara just hit the pressure point.
Eva ordered two guys to take Sara up and bring her to the office. I guess it's nothing she can't handle.
Akeilia went back to her silent state again. Debra explained what happened, but Wendy seem frustrated.
I found the courage to approach Akeilia after everyone except for Wendy and Eva left. Debra went with Sara. I only pray that she won't die, but otherwise, screw her.
“Everyone wants Michael to wake up. Everyone here is frustrated about it. What you did was wrong Akeilia-”. Eva paused after Akeilia glare at her.
I was surprised yet again, because Akeilia wouldn't do that either...But honestly, who can blame her?
“Don't tell me about what's wrong or right. I don't want to hear it. When she was doing me wrong no one said anything. No one knew, because she's a sneaky little bitch. She tricked me to believe that Jay Jay was her and Michael's kid. She also tricked Michael into believing that I was barren and gods knows what else. Sara is not the saint she appears to be...Debra included”. Eva looked surprised. She probably knew that they aren't saints, but she definitely didn't know about the other part.
“I don't want her fake pity, any at all for that matter. She was taking advantage of my situation. So it came to my thought to shut her up...”. I would've laughed at the last part, but this is serious matter.
She look down sniffing.
“I know that I'm not pregnant for Michael. I know that Lenoy is the father...”. She sobbed.
“I don't need anyone to shove it in my face. She was taking advantage of my situation...”. She repeated again.
“She can die for all I care. All I want is for Michael to wake up”. Tears came to my eyes and I found myself crying. She stand then kneel beside the bed, and placed her hands on Michael's chest.
I thought Eva would've said something, but she only left the room without another word. Wendy stayed.
“Michael... Michael please wake up. I can't take it anymore! I can't... I can't take your silence anymore. I'm suffering Michael. I forgive you for the hurtful things you've said to me. I don't blame you for that. If it wasn't for my screw up you'd still be here talking... laughing. Don't make me blame myself for another. I won't be able to live with it. Even if you don't wanna see my face after you wake up..it won't matter...”. She sobbed harder.
I look away from her wiping the tears that kept streaming down my face.
“At least you'll be alive and well... Please...just wake up”. She cried so much I see her tears soaking the sheet. Oh god. I look at Wendy. She put the back of her hand on her lips and shut her eyes as tears flow from them.
A few seconds later, Akeilia started to cry out. Really loud conveying how hurting she is, but it started to worry me after she turn around holding her belly then sit on the floor.
She looked at me and that's when I notice something was terribly wrong.
The way she's looking at me is like she's asking for help, silently. Her expression is soft but it holds pain. Without hesitation I quickly stepped off but stopped immediately in my tracks after I saw blood slowly seeping through her jeans.
“Akeilia”. Wendy said in shock. She ran out the door. I inhaled shakily in shock as my heart beat faster.
I don't think I'll be able to comfort her now.
Soon Eva rushed inside with James and Wendy. Akeilia kept crying. I'm still standing at the same spot, glued.
“Oh my god”. Eva kneeled beside her. “Are you feeling pain honey?” She asked her in a rushy tone. Akeilia nod before screaming out again.
Eva look at her for couple more seconds.
“She's losing the baby. This one is out of my hands. She needs to go to the hospital immediately”. James and Wendy helped her up.
As for me, I'm terrified by this all over again.
“Mr Perry?. What happened to Akeilia”. I asked. Why is Akeilia bleeding so much?
“Where's John?. I want to see him myself”. Michael stretched for his father gun but he pulled back.
“No I don't want you involved in this. I don't want you to get hurt”.
What did John do to her? Is she gonna die?
“Dad I'm already in it!. He got me arrested for something he did!”.
“How did you get out?”. They aren't gonna talk about this right now. Akeilia is mostly important here.
“Never mind we'll talk about that later”.
Akeilia started screaming.
“What's wrong with her!?”. I yelled demanding an answer out of patience. I feel so nervous..And scared.
Mr Perry look at me a bit annoyed.
“I don't know but she's going to the hospital”.
“Well I'm going with her”. I hop in the Jeep. Her crying and screaming made me started to cry. I rest her head on my lap. Please lord help her. I beg you.
That abortion was one of the worst traumatic experience she endured.
I'm sure she wouldn't want to go through that again. And as much as it's not Michael's kid, it's gonna cut her deeply if she lose this one. Not that she's happy about keeping it, but because all those memories of the past gonna start rushing back in.
I just hope to god it doesn't take her life this time.
Please god prevent this from happening to her. Give her the strength to go through this.
Do you think she's gonna lose the baby?
Do you think Michael is gonna die?
How did you feel about Vasara? Lol it's just a nickname I made for Sara since she got hit with a vase. So what do you think about that?
Do you think Sara was being sincere?
Do you think Akeilia silence fit in?
Thanks so much for the comments I got, after expressing my sadness about you not doing it. Please continue it motivates me to update faster. Silent readers, please stop being so silent.
