Chapter 32

Alyssa POV

I don't know how long I stayed there waiting for any news concerning Micah, but I do know that the seconds blend into minutes which in turn blended into hours, when the door open. I didn't know how long I had remained in that position but I know it was long to have my bones screaming at the sudden movement. Still I jumped up and ran to the doctor who started giving the news about Micah.

“How is he?” Micah mother asked fearfully.

“He survived, he is in recovery right now, and we have removed as much tumor as we can without it affecting any of his mental capabilities. He is stable but resting now. Although he will have to go for chemo still. “The doctor said but I could tell that Micah mother stopped listening after the doctor said that Micah was okay.

“Can we see him?” I asked, it is not as if I didn't believe the doctor, of course I do but I want to confirm that he is okay by myself, with my own eyes.

“You can't, he is in recovery right now and he is still out of it. Why don't you all just go home take a rest and come back here refreshed so that you all will enjoy your time with him better. “The doctor suggested.

I narrowed my eyes at the doctor and the gratefulness I was feeling towards him less than a minute ago suddenly died. “Thanks but no thanks. I will stay right here and wait for him to be transported to his room then I will wait for him to open his eyes and see me. "

"No need to get all hostile.” the doctor said as he raised an eyebrow at me

“There is need to get all hostile at you.” I snapped at him. “My best friend and soulmate is behind those doors and you say that he is okay but I still don't get to see him. I am not allowed to see him because you don't deem it fit, that provided all the reason I need to be hostile to you. "

“Alyssa. “My father said outraged.

“Daddy, please do something so I can see him.” I said and turned on the puppy dog look to the maximum when I looked at him.

“No, that won't work. You know that it is normal procedure to make people wait before they can see the patient. You know that. “My father reminded me but I don't want to be reminded of anything that won't work in my favor at this junction.

"Daddy please. I need to see him. If I don't, I might go insane. “I begged my father.

“Your father is right honey, you can't see him, now stop throwing a tantrum, you are 18 not 5. “My mother added.

“What say do you have in this?” I snap at my mother, “last time I checked you divorced dad.”

“Young lady, you will apologize to your mother this instant and have some respect both for your elders and for the rules and regulations of this place. Now apologize to your mother. “My father ordered. God, I hate it when he gets like this, this is one of the reasons why I want Micah to get well fast, when my father usually take this time with him, he shields me from it and somehow manage to find a compromise that will make two of us happy.

“I am sorry mom.” I mumbled not because he ordered me to but because I really am sorry, I should not have hit her with that here or now. I should have waited until Micah can have my back and then I would make sure to hit her where it really hurts, so that she will feel an inkling of the pain I felt when she left and my world turned upside down.

“It is okay, honey, I know it is hard but you will survive just like you did when he was in the theatre. Now apologize to the doctor and stop being so inconsiderate of others feelings. He has a reason why he didn't want you in the room, it could be that Micah is highly weak now and can be infected easily so they are waiting for his body immune system to kick in. “my mother said and each word made me more ashamed of how I had acted.

“I am sorry.” I said to the doctor who nodded then smiled at me.

“It is okay, you are right madam, how did you know about the infection. “He asked my mother who smiled then replied him.

“I was reading about it when he was still operated on, my daughter didn't notice because she was in a daze.”

The doctor nodded and excused himself.

“Now apologize to Micah family.” my father ordered again, still wearing a pissed off look on his face.

“What for “I asked in a confused tone.

" you acted like you were the only one who cares about him and didn't even allow his parents to asks questions about their son or his siblings to be reassured that their brother is fine. " my mother said softly as she put her hand on my father like a warning.

My cheeks went red with embarrassment when I realized what she said was the truth.

I acted like I owned Micah and like a spoilt brat. “I sorry.” I offered to his family.

“It alright dear, we were all worried. “His mother said with a little smile while his father nodded his acceptance of the apology.

“It is so not okay.” Celine started but Mike hits her. “Hey"

“She was worried.” Mike explained

“So were we.” Celine pointed out.

“She just confessed that she was in love with him.” Mike said and Celine nodded as if that explains my behavior.

“How do you know that Mike. “His mother asked in a hard voice.

“He was listening against the door again, obviously.” Celine said with a roll of her eyes and quickly jumped out of the way to avoid Mike jab.

“You will apologize Michael... “His mother started with an angry scowl on her face...

“Oh please, we all listened against the door when we were younger. “My mother said as she pulled Mike out of his mother reach. “Tell me more about what you heard.”

I was not too concerned about it. They can only tease me now until Micah wake up then Micah will protect me and turn the tables back on them, like he always does.
