Chapter 26

Jace's POV

It's been days since I spoke to Michelle,we have clearly been ignoring each other,okay no,let me rephrase that,I have been ignoring her,I wasn't mad at her about her relationship with Lucas,I was angry because she didn't believe me,okay fine,I have done few terrible things to her that have hurt her but Lucas,I can bet that he would do worse,I kept my distance from her,it was for the best even though it was hard to do so but I had no choice,I distracted myself by flirting with other girls which I know it's a bad thing to some people.

"So,guy,wassup with you and Olivia?Have you guys settled?"I inquired from Mason who was thinking deeply of something. "Mtchwew,nooo,I don't even know what's her problem, I'm tired,I can't continue begging her,she didn't even give me a chance to explain"He whined. I burst into hearty laughter to the dismay of Mason,"what's making this one laugh?"He eyed me playfully.

"Mr.Relationship, people are jumping into it,you too follow them and jump,oya where has that landed you?"I mocked playfully,clenching my stomach due to laughter. "You are not alright"He hissed as he faced another direction feigning annoyance.

"I'm not even that worried because she isn't talking to me,it's the fact that she blamed Michelle for it,I feel guilty,my sister is angry with me because if I didn't date her, Olivia wouldn't have a reason to blame her"He lamented,his face holding a sad look.

And then I hear her name again

"As if that isn't worrisome, Michelle is still head over heels for that demon that calls himself,Lucas"

"You are supposed to know by now that you can't give advice to anybody in love,it's only heartbreak that will reset their brain"I spoke casually as I scrolled through my phone.

"Maybe"

"There is no maybe,take yourself as an example"I smirked,I was ready to provoke the Devil.

He tooked a small pillow and threw it towards my direction,I dodged it and stifled a laugh.

"He won't even dare to break my sister's heart,I will kill him"

"And I will support you with that"

"Then we will be inmates"

"For sure,bro"I crossed my two hands on my chest and hit it softly.

"But you do know that you broken alot of people's sister and daughters heart"

"As if you haven't done worst"He blurted out. I shook my head and looked back to my phone and smirked when I got a message from one of my hoes,"You have padlocked somebody's daughter heart abi"

"I haven't, it's just this girl who keeps forcing herself on me,she keeps sexting me"I defended as I smiled when I saw an attachment on her message.

Probably a nude

"Can't you just tell her to back off or something?"

"Woah,it looks like someone is born again and no,I'm not going to do that,she is trying to give me free pu***y,I don't reject free things,come on"

"Let me see her picture"

I showed him her picture and I got a mad reaction,"Damn,this girl is the bomb,see this hourglass figure na"

"So you want me to bang another boy's sister?"I asked even though I knew the answer. "Duh, it's not my fault,her brother can't protect her from people like us"

"You are evil"

His phone suddenly rang and when he saw the caller ID,a surprise look was on his face,"I wonder why Olivia is calling"

"Maybe she wants to have a talk with you or something"I answered his question.

"Maybe"He answered the call,his eyes widened and he squeezed his shirt in fear.

What happened?

"Michelle is in the hospital!"He answered my thoughts as his left hand rested on his face.

"What?!How!"

"I don't know,we got to go,man"

"Come on,let's go"

We boarded a cab to the hospital because my pride didn't let me use one of my dad's cars,as soon as we got to the hospital that Olivia had told us,we saw both of them,they had mixed expression on their faces but I could clearly fish out the look of regret on Lucas.

"Babe,what happened to my sister?"He asked Olivia.

"She had an accident,she fell from the stairs"Lucas replied before Olivia could open her mouth to speak. "Babe,you can't tell me my sister fell down come on,she is very careful when it comes to things like this except something triggered it"He shot glares at Lucas who by the way was unshaken by the deadly daggers spearing at him.

"Well...we had an argu..ment,she got angry and ran out...we went after her"Olivia stammered as she played nervously with her fingers.

This can't be all

"What caused the argument?"I finally spoke,they all looked at me. "Um..."

"Can we please go outside and talk?"Lucas suggested. "Answer the question!"Mason barked at both of them.

I tapped his back to calm him down,"Let's go outside,you don't want yell at them in here,we are at the hospital incase you have forgotten"I whispered to him,he nodded and we all went outside.

"So we are outside and answer the damn question"Mason ordered.

"Your sister found out that I have been playing her,I got back with Joan..."

"Wait,you did what?!If you got back with your ex girlfriend,why didn't you break up with my sister?!Why did you keep leading her on?!"Mason stepped closer to him in an attempt to cover the gap between them.

"I couldn't face her"Lucas mumbled.

"Is that all?"I asked after seeing the frightful look on Olivia's face,they were both hiding something.

"Yes!"Olivia snapped,she was obviously hiding the fact that she was tensed.

"No"Lucas replied.

"What do you mean no?"Olivia and Mason asked at the same time.

"Your sister caught Olivia and I making out so she got pissed after our argument and walked out,we ran after her,she lost her balance and then it happened"He explained everything,he spoke so casually,he was trying to play cool.

"Say what now!"

"I don't believe this,Jace can you imagine what he is saying,Olivia of all people?!Nah,she can never"

"Better come up with another lie"He snapped at Lucas.

"It's true"Olivia mumbled.

We both looked at her in shock,well Mason had that look,I just had an uncertain look on my face,he facepalmed himself and shook his head in disbelief.

"The only thing stopping me from hitting you right now is the fact that you are a girl,I hope my sister actually gave one of you a resounding slap because you both clearly deserve it,how could you do this to someone you call a bestfriend,Jesus!,what are people turning into?"

"Do you both know what you have done,who knows what condition my sister might be in right now,she might be in coma,she might die,she might even suffer from Amnesia,she might break her spinal cord,she might be paralyzed,just look at what you have done"

Unlike Mason who was ready to punch the life of the stupid boy who stood in front of us,the look he had on his face was enough to scare the shit out of Lucas,I was calm, anybody who saw me won't even think the slightest that I was trying to control my anger.

"So you cheated on Michelle with Joan and then with her bestfriend"I stated,I feigned a look of disbelief,my jaw clenched.

Before he could reply or before Mason could punch him,I shook my head and let out a bitter laugh before my fist made contact with his face,I used my legs and swept him off the ground,he landed on the hard ground,Mason joined afterwards,we kept punching him,he didn't bother to fight back,he wouldn't dare,his guilty conscience wouldn't let him because he knew he deserved it,the screams and shouts of Olivia made nurses and few other people came rushing towards us to separate us and to save Lucas before he could pass out.

"Will you children stop this rubbish,do you want to kill him?!In the hospital premises for that matter"An elderly woman who was dressed in a white nurse gown and blue overall jacket spoke,she must be a matron. Lucas managed to stand up,he wasn't that hurt from the looks of it even though he got a black eye,they took him in nurse his little wounds.

"Aren't you and that boy,the people who brought that girl?Who are these people"The woman asked Olivia as she pointed towards us. "Yes,I'm and this is her bro..ther while the other is her fri..end"She stuttered.

We both hissed and walked inside the hospital,Mason called his mum and in about 15 minutes, she arrived.

"Nero,what were you saying on the phone?Where is my baby,where is your sister?!"She screamed at Mason,as she pulled him up and pierced her eyes into his.

A male doctor walked towards our direction to relieve the tension or so I thought,"You are here for the patient, Michelle Adigheji right"He inquired,staring at all of us. We nodded since none of us were able to speak again,the silence that followed after was a horrible one and the look on the doctor's face wasn't helping matters at all.

"She's in coma"That was all he managed to say,on hearing that, Michelle's mum fainted instantly,we all rushed to her,they carried on a bed to one of the hospital rooms. I can't blame her for collapsing,the poor woman lost her husband,the man she loved,he left her for another woman,her oldest child,Myles died,he left as well,she had another male child on its way,she lost the baby  and now another child was between life and death,Michelle.

Mason rushed towards Lucas and slapped him across the face,he gripped his shirt tightly,"You have seen what you have caused right,if my sister doesn't wake up before Christmas,bet me,I will kill you!"He barked as he punched Lucas on his face again,I pulled him away before he could kill Lucas and before he would create a scene again"

"Sorry,like I was saying,it's a miracle she didn't break her spinal cord although she suffered from head injury, there's a small chance that she might have loose her memory,she also dislocated her legs and her left arm,she might be okay,I can't tell when or if she will wake up,we just have to hope and pray,she needs all the love she can get right now for her to wake up,once she wakes up,the rest won't be a problem"He continued after he ensured that their mother had been taken care of,he wasn't aware of the fight that almost ensued in his absence.

"Can we please see her?"Mason asked in a very weak tone as if he wasn't the one who was barking like a mad man few minutes ago.

"Yes,sure"The doctor assured before walking away.

We walked towards her room door , Olivia and Lucas trailed behind,Mason turned back and glared at both of them,"Don't even think of coming near my sister,better leave!"He ordered as he opened the door and walked in,I entered as well leaving Lucas and Olivia outside the door.

There she was,she laid on the bed in a hospital gown,her eyes shut closed,an oxygen mask on her nose,tubes all over her body,the ventilator made the usual beeping noise,her head and arms bandaged,her leg suspended,it was a terrible sight to behold but I could bear alittle because the person who was on that bed was my Michelle. The door opened and their mum walked slowly in disbelief,she burst into tears when she saw her daughter,we both consoled her,we told her,it was going to be okay even when she didn't stop crying.

"You boys should go and freshen up,it's getting late"She stated, wiping her eyes with her handkerchief. Mason wanted to object but I held his hand to stop him,he nodded and we both left.
