To say that I was shocked was an understatement, for what I have felt in that moment was beyond shock!
I felt as if the ground was being pooled from under me, and I was left to fall inside this dark endless pit…
I, as well as everyone else, stared at the stranger who claimed to be my father, his eyes were on me though, and for a second, I felt as if everyone else had disappeared.
This man’s face, it had my hazel eyes, my dark eyebrows, and even my beauty spot, the one on the right side of my chin.
However, there is nothing familiar about the man, the resemblance is u
Am I going crazy? I ask myself as I look around me, the room is dark for Maisie had turned off lights, I can barely see anything, only vague shapes thanks to the bit of light coming from my window…My window! I look at it, but it is still closed, just like I left it.The door? It is the same, Maisie had just pulled it behind her.There is absolutely no way for him to be inside my room, unless he is some kind of a ghost!Ghosts don’t exist! I ridicule myself, although a little infantile part of me is questioning that fact!
I thought my first night outside the hospital would be terrifying, I imagined I would be accompanied by nightmares and fears, and even thought I might break down again and be sent back to the dull white room in the hospital.And honestly, that might have been the case, if it wasn’t for that late night call.We only hang up when the call was a little above five hours long, Nathaniel refused to hang up without making sure I was alright, I don’t know how he knew what I needed, but for almost an hour he kept on whispering small nothings to me through the phone, and it worked like magic, it felt like he took my hand and escorted me out of the circle I was trapped in, the one of sickness and sec
The walk to the hospital wasn’t a long one, the hospital was actually only few streets away, for Maisie wanted to live somewhere near her job, I don’t really blame her, this city is not a small one, the traffic was a nightmare to most workers, living in our block which wasn’t the fanciest, was actually very smart and practical instead.Our appointment with Dr. jones wasn’t until ten, which meant we had an extra hour to enjoy our walk, and we did, the weather was nice, not too hot, just enough to not bother with any extra clothes but our light summer ones, the ones in which we can still feel the sunrays on our skins.To say I enjoyed the walk would be an understatement, I was already in a good mood, the walk itself was refr
I honestly don’t know what to say. Thus, I don’t say anything! Dr. jones still has that sedate look on her face as she stared back at me, I share a look with Maisie who looks just as surprised as I am.“What?” “It is just that…I think I am surprised by your…”“My choice of words?” she asks with a raised brow and I nod hesitantly.“Oh Natalia, even without your memories you are still so sweet!” she chuckles lightly, “You have always been too sweet, and that is a problem!” How did this woman mana
Me and Maisie walk out of Dr. Jones’ office and through the hospital’s corridors in silence, except for some exchanged greetings with some of the staff who came to check on us or just bombard my poor friend with questions not only about my conditions but about work and other patients.That didn’t mean she didn’t have anything to say though, knowing my friend , I was sure she had something waiting under her tongue, but I safely presumed that she was waiting until we were in a better place, maybe with less eyes and ears around us, to talk freely, something I am grateful for.It was one extra amazing thing about Maisie, she effortlessly knew when to talk and when to not.
“Alright, do you have any idea where he might be?”“Maybe with Nate?” Yeah probably with him, and Maisie thinks the same as she nods before frowning, obviously thinking about something.“You know baby, this whole situation is a bit weird, and too coincidental to be a coincidence!”I know what she means, and I am just as confused as her, I just, don’t want to jump to any conclusions just yet.Let us first meet the man and then judge him.I dial Nate’
Why am I even feeling this sad and frustrated, I ask myself as I look at my hands which were placed on my lap, trying my hardest to prevent the stupid tears from falling.Who was that woman? That gorgeous, classy, rich woman? And why was he meeting her in a restaurant in a mall?I don’t believe she was a normal acquaintance of his, for he wouldn’t hang up on me if she was!He could have simply excused himself for a second to pick up or text, but he didn’t, and that frown on his face showed that he wasn’t happy with my call while he was with her!I don&rsqu
“Maisie!” I whisper at my friend and she follows my line of sight to see the creepy guy standing under the same tree, smoking a cigarette, and watching my window with a weird expression!His face is completely undecipherable, not a single emotion is clear, he just looks at my window every few seconds, then looks down and takes a puff of his cigarette!“What the hell! This is creepy!” Maisie says with a frown, not caring about the driver coughing in annoyance, the gears in her head are obviously working, and I know why, for I am having the same debate inside my head!Should I go talk to him or not! Am I ready for it? I mean sure, this is wh
