CHAPTER 13

BRANDON'S P.O.V

It has been one week since she went into coma. They wouldn't let me see her at first since I'm not a member of the family.But when opportunity came, I had to lie to them,I told one of the nurses that I was her fiancee. I know I'm probably going to end up paying for this lie later on but right now all I care about is Angela.

I don't know why I even care so much about her. The first time I saw her in class sitting in the corner with her face down, I knew that there's something about her that's keeping me interested. I wanted to get to know her. She was beautiful in every way. She was not some slutty girl that puts too much make-up and and wears skimpy clothes just to impress a guy. She was different, full of mysteries, something I would love to find out. I made a prmise to myself that when she wakes up, I will take care of her. I know she probably won't agree to it but that's something I'll have to wait and see.

The police has been in and out of her room since she arrived here. Apparently, her father is on the wanted list, and no wonder why he suddenly disappeared into thin air. The doctors found so much broken bones and bruises that they knew instantly that she was an abused child. They also told the police that she was raped and that they found the note she left by her bedside. I can't believe her own flesh and blood would harm her.  That bastard! I swear, if I ever see him I will kill him myself.

The doctors said that she drink quite a bit of the bathroom cleaner that it almost killed her instantly. He said that if I didn't get their the time I did, she would've been dead by now. And since she hit her head pretty hard, it caused her to have a traumatic brain injury. Her brain's pretty swollen due to the impact.

I was so deep in my own thoughts that I didn't hear the door creaked open.

"Who are you?" I heard a voice asked from behind me.

I looked up and saw a guy on his mid twenties and a lady next to him. I noticed how much resemblance he's got with Angela.

"I should be asking you the same thing. Doctors don't allow visitors unless you're a family member." I said to him

I raised his left eyebrow and stared at me for a minute.

"And a family member would be me. I'm her brother and you are?"

"Funny how she never mentioned a brother to me." I said completely ignoring his question.

He sighed. "I know she probably thought that I already forgot about her. I left her with my father years ago and I promised her that I will be coming back to get her. Six months after I left, I found a decent job, a place to stay and I wanted to become her legal guardian. With her being a minor when I left, I had to find a living and prove the lawyers that I am financially stable and prove them that I can provide food and a living for her. So when I did, I came back for her. But my father told me that she left a month after I did. I should've known better not to trust my own father's words."he explained

"I don't know if you already talked to the police, but your father is on a criminal list right now. He's got so many charges against him mainly rape.  I'm Brandon by the way." I said offering my hand.

"You must be the one that found her?" he asked

"Yeah!"

"Patrick." he said introducing himself

"So what did the doctor say? When is she going to wake up?"

"They're not sure yet. She suffered on a major head injury. She hit her head pretty hard on the window panel before she landed on the floor. Which caused her the head injury.Her brain was pretty swollen from the impact." I explained

He nodded. "Why don't you go home for now. It looks like you could use some rest. I'll let you know if there's any change on her.  And thank you by the way, if it wasn't for you my sister would've been dead."

We exchanged phone numbers and kissed Angela's forehead then I head out.
