The Lie He preferred to believe

Daniel drove faster than he had ever driven before.His fingers were clenched on the steering wheel, and his heart would not slow. The words of the nurse were repeating in his head.mUnconscious. Medical emergency.Upon arrival at the hospital, he did not wait until he took the elevator. He climbed the stairs, breathless, his head whirling.In the front office, he talked fast. "Ava Clarke. Where is she?""Room 312," the nurse answered.The man ran up the corridor and banged the door shut.Ava lay in a hospital bed. She was pale and had an IV on her arm. One of the machines next to her was beeping.Her eyes were closed.Daniel's chest tightened. "Ava."He moved closer. "Ava, can you hear me?"The eyelids were waved slowly."Dad?" she whispered weakly.He felt relief to an extent that he was forced to take a seat momentarily. "Thank God," he breathed. "You scared me."She made an attempt to sit up, and he patted her shoulder. "Don't move too much.""What happened?" she asked faintly.“Y

What We Lost

This is what happened to Marcus as he entered the hospital room and saw Ava so weak in bed, as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart.Daniel stood up slowly. His eyes were red.Marcus looked between Daniel and Ava. "What happened?" he asked, his voice tight.Daniel hesitated and said in a low voice. "She... she lost the baby."The words were initially illogical.Marcus stared at him. "What?"“A miscarriage,” Daniel said, and then he subsided into a half-trance of mourning. The doctor said it was caused by stress and weakness.The room felt smaller.Marcus turned to Ava slowly.She was a spare-bodied, pale girl on the white pillow. Her eyes were already streaming with tears."Is that true?" he asked, his voice breaking.Ava nodded weakly. "I'm sorry."Something in him was broken by the apology.He retreated, with a stroke at his hair. "No... no, this can't be happening."Daniel quietly exited the room in order to accord them some space.Marcus waited a long time and attempted to

The Whisper Behind the Door

Patricia did not think of coincidences.Since Ava had left the hospital, she had followed her severely. Her daughter was not as strong as she was supposed to be after a mere abortion. Something in the eyes of Ava was deeper than grief. It was not only sadness. It was guilt.After a while, the same afternoon, Patricia came back to the hospital and gave some documents that Daniel had forgotten. She did not plan to stay long.When she passed in front of the transplant department, she slowed down as she heard two nurses conversing close to the corner.Is it possible to believe she demanded anonymity? one nurse whispered.“I am aware,” the other replied in a low voice. “At least most donors desire the family to know.”Patricia stopped walking.Donor?The first nurse went on to say that the girl was nearly giving up after the extraction of bone marrow. Her blood pressure was bad.But she had been inquiring about the child, the second nurse said. Her patient concerned her more than she was c

A Mother's Fury

It was a very quiet moment when Ava was sitting on her bed when the door was thrown open.She jumped in shock.Patricia was pale and angry and stood at the doorway holding a thick hospital file in her hands, which shook as she held it."Mom?" Ava whispered.Patricia entered and threw the file on the bed before her.“Explain this,” she said, and her voice was sharp and trembling.Ava looked down at the papers.Her heart stopped.She had known the hospital stamp too well.The hands slowly started shaking."Where did you get that?" she asked in a small voice.“Not important, not important, not important,” Patricia said. What is significant is that you all lied to us.Ava swallowed hard.You give everybody a belief that you miscarried out of stress, Patricia went on, her voice rising. But you put an end to that pregnancy.The first thing that came to Ava was tears."I…"And that is not even the worst of it, Patricia interfered. "You donated bone marrow. After a surgical procedure. Without

The Truth He Never Expected

The doorbell had just sounded when Marcus came home from the hospital.He unbuttoned his tie and walked to the door, with the weight of weariness oppressing his flesh. The days before had torn him mentally, but the increase in Lydia gave him the strength to continue moving forward. Hope had even at last started to take the place of fear.His face altered as soon as he opened the door."Mrs. Clarke?" he said in surprise.Patricia was standing outdoors, with a rigid pose and a very unusual coldness of countenance. She resembled a person who was carrying something heavy; it was not in his hands, but in her heart."May I come in?" she asked.Marcus made way without objection. "Of course. Is Ava alright?"Patricia entered the living room and was looking around the room at a slow pace, and then her gaze rested on him. She did not sit down at once, and that in itself made Marcus feel uncomfortable."She's resting," he continued. The doctor informed her that she would require time following t

The Moment Everything Broke

Ava was sitting quietly in the living room when she heard the front door open.It was just the sound that tightened her heart.She already knew.Her mother had gone to Marcus.Slowly, she curled her hands together, and the sound of footsteps came her way. They were bulky, rapid, and full of rage, which could be sensed even before he came.Marcus stepped into the room.His eyes were black, and his jaws were tight, and the whole body appeared to be in a state of tension. In his hand, he was holding something.The hospital file.Ava was aware of the air passing through her lungs."Marcus..." she whispered.He dropped the file on the table before her.It cannot be true, I tell you it cannot, his voice was low and trembling with fury.Ava looked at the papers but did not touch them. The room was very thick and oppressive in silence."Look at me," Marcus demanded.She raised her eyes to his slowly.His face broke her heart at a glance. Here was anger, but lower still, pain."Did you end the

Walking Away

The house was agonisingly silent following the words of Marcus.Ava sat alone in the living room long after he had gone, and her mind was having a hard time accepting that something had just occurred. The man who would not allow her to leave his person had now told her to go. The silence that encompassed her was greater than an argument.Gradually, she turned and headed to the bedroom that they used to share.Each step felt unreal.As she opened the door, recollections came back to her at a rush. The bed on which they laughed together, the chair on which Marcus sat working late at night, the little picture frame that Lydia had on the table with the name of her family on it.The pains in her chest constricted Ava.She stepped into the closet and took a suitcase. The zipper opening could be heard in the silent room.She started to fold her clothes, and her hands were trembling.She did not cry at first. She simply packed.One dress.Two shirts.One of the sweaters that Marcus had once c

Nowhere to Belong

That taxi arrived at the door of the house of Daniel at an early morning light was just coming up. Ava sat back and gazed through the window without saying a word; it seemed to her she no longer knew where she was. Her eyes were red with crying, which now did not produce any tears, as she was quite empty inside.Daniel was out as fast as he could see the car."Ava!" he called, and ran hastily up to her with all the signs of a concerned face. I have been calling you all night. What happened?"The driver unlocked the trunk, and Daniel snatched her suitcase before she managed to do it at all.Slowly, Ava drew out her steps, weak and fatigued.I am all right, I said in a low voice, but I did not sound all right.Daniel frowned immediately. "You don't look fine. Did Marcus do something? Did you two fight again?"Ava made a little smile that did not reach her eyes. "It's over, Daniel."He froze. "What do you mean... over?"He told me to go away, she answered.The face of Daniel flushed with

The Silence She Left Behind

It was so awkward when Ava went home.Marcus was sitting in the living room all alone, looking at the vacant space in front of the staircase where she had partially occupied herself just a few hours ago with her suitcase in her hand. The silence was so much against his chest that he could hardly breathe in his usual fashion. Each room of the house brought back the memory of her being there, and the knowledge that she was really gone was sinking deeper with each minute.He bent his head, his elbows on his knees, and rubbed his face wearily."What have I done..." he muttered under his breath.The image re-enacted itself in his head. Ava cries, her voice trembling as she attempts to justify herself, and his own vituperation does not cut her like a knife.Leave.It was something he had not meant.And now the word rang round in his head.Marcus rose to his feet and walked towards the kitchen, hoping that he would lose his thoughts in distraction, but as he opened the refrigerator he stoppe

The Truth That Changed Everything

The morning sunlight gradually lit up the hospital room of Lydia and threw its soft glow over the bed, where she sat silently leafing through the picture book. The machines near her started beeping, but no longer with a frightening sound, but calm and steady as her breathing was now. This was the first time in weeks that she managed to sit up without any assistance, but something still did not feel right.Again, she glanced toward the door.Daddy, Lydia said when Marcus walked into the room holding a little bag of fruits.Marcus forced a gentle smile. "Good morning, princess. How are you feeling today?"“Yes, better, I feel better now that I saw you,” she thought, observing him. “I have a doctor who said I am healing fast.”Marcus nodded, but weariness was still on his face. He had slept, indeed, a little before Ava had gone out of the house. Each silent moment brought to his memory that she was gone.“It is good news,” he said, and put the fruits on the table. "You're very brave."Ly
