Every one sat in the hospital waiting for the doctor to come out; Prince, his dad and mum, Tina and her mum, Jay, Kelvin, David and few guards were there. Princeâs eyes were so reddish and swollen from too much of tears.
Kelvin walked close to Prince who sat on the floor with his arms rested on his knees,He placed his hand on his shoulder gesturing to him that everything would be fine but prince only nodded in reply as he lowered his head.
Not too long, The Doctor and two nurses came out of Audreyâs private room, Everyone stood up to them except Prince who looked so weak to even get up from the floor âhow is she Doctor?â Princeâs Dad asked the doctor âShe is ok sir, itâs a relief that you brought her out of the water quickly, but am afraid you canât see her right now because she is sleeping and she really needs to rest for now sirâ the doctor replied âThank you very much Doctor,I really appreciateâ Princeâs dad said “Sir you don’t need to thank me, I only do my job to a boss,you are a boss to all of us,So you don’t need to thank me sir” The Doctor replied with a smile “I need to attend to more patients, escuze me Sir” The Doctor said before walking away.
“We should all put our minds at ease and go home to rest for now,then we come back tomorrow when she is up,we all heard what the doctor said,He said she’s sleeping for now and we need to give her some time to rest until tomorrow,then we all can come back and check on herâ Princeâs dad said. âThank you so much maâam and sir. Despite your busy schedules you put up some time for Audrey, we really appreciate this Sir,Thank you so much sirâ Tinaâs mum said âYou donât have to thank me Madam, Audrey is like a daughter to me, even if sheâs not biologically mine, I would still do the same thing for her, so you donât need to thank me for anything Ma” Princeâs dad replied âI will appoint some of my boys to watch over her, donât worry about anything, nothing is going to happen to her, so please just put your mind at rest and let’s come back to check on her pleaseâ Princeâs dad added.
Tina and her mum left, leaving Prince and the others. âDear you said you are travelling tomorrow morning,so I think you should go home with me and rest cause its really late alreadyâ Princeâs Dad said to his mum, she gestured her husband to look at Prince who was just quite Since, He walked to where Prince sat and bent down next to him âSon you need to rest so you can come back and check on her tomorrow,you are going to get weak this way,you have stressed yourself a lot today, Will you come home with me and come back to check on her tomorrowâ his dad asked softly âNo Dad, am not going home,I will stay right here untill she wakes upâ Prince said as he got up and entered Audreyâs room. âWell, letâs allow him do what he wants, Jay and Kelvin, you guys should go home and rest to relive stress and donât tell me no alsoâ Princeâs Dad said with a smile while they both nodded âGood, you guys can go home, then you come back and check on her tomorrow, take care of yourselves boysâ Princeâs Dad said to them while Jay and Kelvin left together. Daniel you should come home and rest with us, you can just appoint your boys to watch over themâ he said âno sir, I will stay with him, I will just have two boys with me so the others can go home with you sirâ Daniel replied âwell no problem, please be very watchful of them pleaseâ he said â I will sirâ Daniel replied while Princeâs dad and mom left with the guards, leaving Daniel and two guards at the hospitalâŚ
Prince sat beside Audrey looking at her, he placed his hand on her forehead just to check her temperature.

âPrince she is gone, allow the Doctor to do their work pleaseâ Daniel said sadly âI told you she is not dead! SHE IS NOT DEAD!!!â Prince shouted angrily âAudrey look at me, please open your eyes, AUDREY!!!â he lamented as he grabbed her closer to himself with his arms wrapped around her as he drew her much closer to himself as he burst into more tears. Suddenly Audrey coughed, everyone got shocked âAudrey! Audrey! Can you hear me? Audreyâ Prince said to her as she tried to open her eyes slowly, she moved her hand to his face, cleaning his tears while Prince just stared at her in surprise before giving her a deep k-ss on her l-ips.

But am glad that we won, I wonât lose you anymore,I promise not to loose you again, it really hurts to see you this way so please, kindly wake up and talk to me, Please Audreyâ Prince said sadly as he pecked her cheek before sitting down back on his seat, he watched her sleeping peacefully,suddenly he also got drifted to the dreamland next to her…

My mum wasnât strong enough to follow me back to the hospital so I told her to rest even though she still insisted .
I stepped out of the house and I saw Kelvinâs car parked outside waiting for me. He came out of the car and opened the door for me while I just smiled at him.
I entered the car even though am still surprise with his visit, we drove straight to the hospital to check on my friend, Goodness I lost my sanity when I heard that she tried to kill herself,I couldn’t believe it all that this is really happening, but am glad I have my friend back,I just can’t imagine what will happen if I should loose Audrey. We both walked into the hospital, then I saw Mr. Daniel who was assigned as my friend’s body guard with two other guards, He sat on a long chair with the other two guys in,side the hospital.
âyou didnât go home last night?â Kelvin asked him âyeah, Prince is still here too so I just cant leave him aloneâ he said looking so tired âyou can go home and rest now since we are hereâ Kelvin said with a smile âare you sure about that?â Daniel asked âdefinitely, trust me on thisâ Kelvin replied with a smile.
Daniel left with the other two guards while Kelvin and I entered Audreyâs room. We saw her staring at Prince who put his head on her bed and was in a deep sleep Audrey didnât notice us so I had to call her name quietly âAudreyâ I whispered, she looked at me slowly.
She looked so weak and tired, Prince woke up as he stared at her, giving her a look of “are you feeling ok?â I moved closer to her and gave her a warm hug âWill you you go home and rest and come back to check on her cause I heard that you don’t go home last nightâ Kelvin said âactually I will come with you Princeâ I said while they all looked at me âI need to come with you because I was unable to prepare food for her and my mum who wasnât feeling well this morning, Audrey needs to eat something,you knowâ I said while Prince just nodded âAlright no problem, I will stay with her besides Jay is on his way here too so we will stay with her till you both comes back, and I waâŚâ Jay walked in while we all looked at him as he entered with a smile, Oh my gosh! I just noticed Jay,Why is he so cute? if not for some reasons I would have made him ask to me out; Firstly Kelvin is my boyfriend to be and I am in love with him, Secondly I heard Jay is not into ladies and besides heâs already taken, can a lady be more cute than him,I bet noâ I thought silly to myself âHi Tinaâ he said to me bringing be back from my stupid thoughts âoh..oh Hi” I quickly replied with a smile. âAudrey how are you feeling?â he asked my friend who only nodded in response that she is ok.
Prince and I left the hospital and I noticed the way Prince looked at Audrey before leaving, I bet he has a lot to say to her but he’s trying to hold himself back for now.
On our way home, he was so silent so I asked him if he is ok. âyou are not different from Jayâ he said with a smile âwhy?â I asked âbecause you both are not different from mama, you guys always notice me easilyâ he said âAnd who is mama?â I asked âoh! she is the woman who took care of me, They call her Mama Prince cause she literally took care of me ever since I was born till nowâ he said then I smiled at him âthatâs nice, so whats going on with you?â I asked âjust Audrey, nothing is going on with me, its just because of her and am still wondering why her Dad is this heartless, he should go to jail for thisâ Prince said angrily while I just smiled back at him.
We arrived at his house as a guard opened the car door for us, Gosh is this house a Paradise or what âIs Dad at home?â he asked the guard âyes, he is having a meeting with someone â The guard replied âWhat meeting, because he told me he has a contract deal that needed to sign with someone this morning, so why is he still at homeâ Prince asked the guard âactually, the person is already here for the Boss to sign the contract for himâ the guard replied politely âoh I see” he said while the guard left.
âThis way Tinaâ he said to me, Goodness I can’t stop admiring this house. We met his Dad with two men in the living room,the two men were backing us so I couldn’t see their faces âoh Tina how are you?â Princeâs Dad said to me with a smile so I walked closer to greet him âMorning sirâ I said with a smile,I was about to greet the other two men before I realized who they were.
The last person I was expecting; Audreyâs dad âWhat!â I muttered out of surprise âDo you know him?â Princeâs dad asked me “y..yes sirâŚhe is Audreyâs dadâ I said âWHAT!â Princeâs dad yelled âyou mean he is the father of the girl in the hospital right now,I mean he is the father of the girl who tried to kill herself yesterday?â he asked again in surprise âyes sir.. he is Audreyâs dadâ I managed to reply even though I am feeling so weak in my legs.
I could feel Prince walking towards us âDad, have you signed the contract for him?â Prince asked angrily âha! Please donât do this to meâ Audreyâs dad pleaded âare you kidding me right now, your daughter is in the hospital, battling for her life and you are here for a contract, what kind of father are you?â Prince asked angrily.
âPrince let me handle thisâ His Dad said softly âDad I donât care about anything right now,I don’t even care about my name right now. But this contract, you can’t sign it Dadâ he said angrily âI know, and I wont sign it,so can you please ju⌠oh mama! please take him in,sideâ his Dad said to the woman who I assumed to be the one who take care of Prince âOk sir, Prince letâs go in,side, Pleaseâ she said to Prince softly while he just walked away angrily âsweetheart come with me pleaseâ she said to me while I took a few glances at Audreyâs dad who was sweating profusely under the AC.

After they left, Princeâs Dad sat down comfortably, he tilted his head to look at Audreyâs dad whose head was just down âSuch a pity,I repeat that it such a pity for you, your daughter almost killed herself yesterday, is this the way you hate her so much? Even if she is not your daughter, donât you have human feelings? am sorry to say but believe me when I say that you are a big disgrace to manh-od. Even if my son didnât say anything, I wasnât going to sign the contract any longer and I am cancelling everything regarding the contractâŚ.and one more thing, I think you should get yourself a counselor. Get out of my house before I order the guards to throw you out pleaseâ Princeâs dad said angrily. Audreyâs dad and his manger left the house with shame and guilty written all over his face,He couldn’t justify himself with anything,so he just stood up and walked out silently âsuch a heartless beingâ princeâs Dad muttered angrilyâŚ
A WEEK LATERđ
Audrey sat in a room with a maid helping her with her clothes into the luggage; there was a knock on the door so the maid quickly went to open it.
Prince walked in while the maid excused herself out of the room for both of them,He smiled at Her as he opened his arms to hug her,She smiled at him and walked closer to him while they both hugged each other .

Audrey healed so fast and am glad she did, she has been living with us ever since she left the hospital. Even though she seems to be ok,But still she is yet to get a grip over everything.
I know everything deals with time and am sure she will get over it very soon. karma can strike at anytime too, Audreyâs Dad was admitted to the psychiatric hospital because his new wife took away all his properties and it was a big shock to him, she forged his signature and took away all his money in his account and that also contributed to where he is right now.
I decided to travel with Audrey to a quite place,even if itâs just for a month,I just want her to change her environment for awhile.
I havenât told her how I feel about her and am only waiting for the right time to do that,I know she’s mine,of course I know she’s mine and am not going to rush her yet.
She is still not herself,sometimes she get lost in deep thoughts and sometimes she also cries in her room alone.
Depression is a gradual process to overcome and Audrey was already in her last stage and that was why she tried to kill herself,And now that she made it back to life, I hope she heals gradually. She only needed the time, the love, the attention of good people around her and with that,I believe she will get out of it.
âAre you ready?â i asked her while she gestured “yes” with a smile.
We are both travelling tonight, I just want to create a lot of time for her and I also promised her that I will search for Deborah,of course I will make sure to search for Deborah.
I know there are still people like Audrey out there that their *Pain Within* them is more than their strength,But what i believe the most is that they only need lots of love, attention and care and with that they will also get their cure naturally, Depression is not a day job to cure,it’s a gradual process…..
