Mistaken Identity✔

Chapter 26

Alex POV

   When Alliyah came from the hospital room thirty minutes later her face was a mess. She looked like she had been torn apart. I feel the same. The woman I loved was unresponsive, the only thing that makes her alive is her beating heart. The heart that belonged to me once.

Luke stand from the bench and took his fiancé in his hands. "It's okay," he whispered words of comfort to her. But is it really okay? What if she never wakes? I don't think I could imagine living without her. Now I can see that. The weeks that I have being without her has been hell.

I drowned myself in work, I had little time for enjoyment and little time for Henrique. He reminded me too much of her.

Now, I realize what a big mistake I made. I want her. I want to be with her, spent my life with her. Have babies with her.

But am I too late?

What if she never wakes?

What if I never see her eyes again?

Hear her laugh?

I wiped the drops of tears off my face and opened the door of her room.

   I walked in. There she was. Many strings and cords were attached to her body. An oxygen tank. My heart broke at the sight. The tears I was trying to avoid came. I want to be strong, but how can I be strong when my means of strength was not responding.

   I walked into the room and shut the door behind me. I walked to the chair at the bedside then sat in it. I looked at her. I reached for her hands that had a wire attached to it. I rubbed my heads on her. I enlaced her hands with me.

  "Hey, baby. Please wake up. Wake up for me. I miss you. I'm sorry." I brought her hands to my lips and kissed it softly. "I'm sorry for hurting you. Sorry for not believing you. Please, please come back to me. I miss your eyes. I miss your laugh. I miss the way you get angry at me. The way you smile at me. I'm a mess without you. I need you. I taught I didn't want you but I don't want you, I need you. You're my heart. I can't live without my heart. I'm begging you please come back." I held my head down on her bed and pulled her close. It's no use hiding my tears, no use being strong when my strength is longer with me. How could I be so foolish?

  The DNA test said she was Henrique's mother yet her documents and words said otherwise. I stayed silent because she said she is a twin, maybe that would explain the result but when Alliyah did the same test with the same doctor we got the same results, 99.9% match. There was no way two women could be the mother so obviously Kalliyah was telling the truth. 

   I cried for a few more minutes then I started whispering sweet things to her. I read it somewhere that some unresponsive person can hear everything that's been said to them. So I held her hands and told her some of our treasured memories and I begged her. Begged her to come back to me, I needed her to come back because if she didn't I would blame myself for the rest of my life. 

   I pulled the chair closer to the bed until I was able to wrap my arms around her completely. "Please come back to me," I begged. My world felt like it was shattering. I remembered when she begged me to believe her but  I didn't. I trusted the photos that my mother presented. 

   Will she come back to me?

   When she wakes will she be able to forgive me? 

  Will she let me love her or will she tell me to go away?

   If she told me to leave her alone then my life would we meaningless. She brought joy to my life and I found out that too late.

  Why did I have to see her like this? Instead of asking her forgiveness when she is her beautiful, kind and lively self, I have to plead with her to wake up so I can get a second chance.
