BEHIND OUR LOVE... CHAPTER 51
BY MIEMIEBEE

IZZY'S POV;

      “Fiona! You're back!” she pressed me a tight hug. “Recovering fast huh?” She asked raising an eye brow “yes” I nodded, “I have a friend like you to take care of me tell me how won't I recover fast?” She giggled. “Well here's lunch” I watched her as she brought out all the food packages.

       “All this?? Are we having a party?” I teased. “Oh common its the least I could do.” She brought a plate and served me my lunch the food Fiona bought turns out to be my favorite, I can't wait to taste the shredded beaf and the pepper chicken too Gosh! There's an apple juice also. Immediately she passed me my plate I started eating it, I took about 5 spoons before I stopped and looked at her she was eating too but then she paused as she caught me glaring at her.

      “Izzy are you okay?”

      “Aren't you the one to be answering this question Fiona?” I state sounding serious. “Where did this food came from? I mean were you with that James when you bought it?”

     “Nn..no! What are you saying? I bought it myself.”

    “No Fiona you're lying how comes you know of this combination?”

     “Oh God Izzy you're way noisy lets eat please.”

      “I've lost my apetite I know right James was the one who bought this, can you please tell him to stop bugging me? He should let me be please.” I kept the plate by the floor and rest on my bed.

      “Izzy why are you being so stubborn? Whats there if James was the one who bought the food? Does that means he was the one who cooked it?”

     I kept quiet without saying a word.

      “Now pick up your plate and eat.” She states rather orders.

      “No! I'm not eating that.” I protest.

     “Okay then I've change my mind I won't be staying over tonight anymore, James will be the one to watch over you, he is the one who is suppose to watch over you since he is your husband.” she pouts.

     “Fionaaaa! Stop it...”

     “Then eat your meal, you can't go on with an empty stomach.”

     “I'm not hungry” I lied.

      “Eat it or I'll leave.” I sent her a deadly glare before picking up the plate and eats.

    9pm in the evening after I've administered my drugs I was ready to get change so as to sleep. Fiona pulled out my box and opened it for me, to my suprise I saw my favorite night gown in it, I was amused of how Fiona knew about it, just then I thought that James must definately be the one who arranged my clothes theres noway Fiona will get to know of my Fav night gown.

      With this thought, I flinged away the dress and closed the box. Fiona that was getting dressed also stopped and looked at me with a questioning expression on her face. “Why? What now Izzy? You know you're giving me a hardtime than Kevin does.”

     “Nothing” I said vaguely.

     “Nope there is tell me.”

     “Nothing really” I retaliate. “Just that I won't change anymore.”

     “Why? Why not?”
 
     “Because... I don’t wanna” I lied. I don't want to tell her the actual reason because of James so she wouldn't say she will leave again.

    “Why don't you stop lying and tell me because you're thinking James was the one who packed all your stuffs for you well FYI (For Your Information) he wasn't the one, I did. He waited for me by the car and I packed your stuffs for you. Now before I change my mind get change, will you?” She orders

     “Seriously Fiona! Are you giving orders now?”

      “Yes I am” she answers confidently. Without saying a word again I changed into my night gown and pretended to sleep. When Fiona was done on phonecall with Edward, she called my name and I kept quiet and closed my eyes as if sleeping. She came and checked whether or not I was asleep, she positioned my sleeping position and dialed someones number on her phone. I was watching her with half an eye open.

      “Hello James?”

What!? Did she just called James? So she is siding with him now?

  Her voice caught me. “You're not going home? Then where are you going to sleep?”
          I didn't get to listen to the jerk's respond because the fan was on and stopping me from eavesdropping.

    From her reaction I knew he said “here”. “Then where?... By the door!” She exclaimed again. “James please don't, do you want mosquitoes to eat you up during the night?... Where are you now?.... Outside?... Okay I'm coming out.” Hanging up the call, she picked up a veil and went outside.

       Immediately she left, I tiptoed and placed my ears close to the door trying to eavesdrop.

         I heard James' voice. “Hi Fiona.”

    “James please go home and sleep, you can't sleep here by the door its too dangerous.”
      “I have to Fiona, I can't leave Izzy's side, not again.”

     Like seriously? I hope I didn't miss his sarcasm, since when has he become a gentleman?

       “Are you sure about that James? You don't have to sleep here to prove to Izzy you're a changed man.”
     “You can say that again.” He said vaguely. “Don't worry about me I'll be perfectly fine, just take care of Izzy for me okay?”

Seriously James? Since when have you been concerned about my health? I hissed.

     “Okay let me get you a blanket, okay?” Fiona said. I quickly ran back to my bed almost tripping. She opened the door and brought out a blanket, taking it to him she came back to our room again and slept on the couch.

2 more days and I was discharged from the hospital, I'm almost back to my old self now, I'm feeling much morethan better thanks to Fiona for taking care of me although she've been getting on my nerves most atimes and annoying me, by threatning me about leaving anytime that James brought us food. He uses any oppurtunity he gets to talk to me and not do I only shun him, I send him away by calling the nurses.

     I've been discharged now, I missed school, I've got alot to catch up on. Fiona is about finishing parking our stuffs for us. I was sitting on a coach dressed in a flow length loose gown when someone knocked on our door, Fiona opened it and Ryan appeared infront of it. I was overwhelmed I didn't know the time when I went and hugged him, he hugged me back and whispered in my ears. “I missed you.”

     I broke the hug and looked at him suprisingly. “Why are you here? You said you didn't want to see me ever in your life.”

       “I never meant any of those Izzy, they came out wrong. I missed you so much. So how are you feeling? I heard what your husband did to you. I'm so sorry.”

      “Its not your fault plus don't make him the subject of discussion here.” I smiled. “So how are things with you?”

    He interwined our finger before saying “I should ask you that. Are you sure you okay now? Ready to be discharged?”

      “Yes I am, Ryan.” I smiled at him looking at our interwined fingers.

      “Izzy promise me this, you won't let your husband beat you up like this again, I can't afford it again. You're way precious to be beaten up like this. Call me up next time okay?”

      “There won't be a next time Ryan so stop worrying.” We talked just a bit and he got a call from one of our lecturers so he needed to leave. We hugged one last time before he left I escorted him to the door and just then James appeared. From all seeing he must have recognised Ryan and suddenly I can sense how jealousy was growing in him. “You must be Ryan” he asked.

      Before Ryan could get to answer, I went over a d stood right next to him. “Don't you dare involve Ryan in our problem okay? He has done nothing wrong so let him be.”

      “You know him?” Ryan asked me. “Yes I do, he was once my husband. Off you go, don't be late” I placed a peck on his cheek and watched him go without looking at James, I made my way back to my room.

     Getting back to my room I saw Fiona already finished packing our stuffs. “Ready to go?” She asked me. “Yes” I grinned at her. “Thank you so much Fiona” I placed her a hug. “So when are we leaving?” I asked

      “We? What do you mean we? It better be you and James. 'Cause I'll be heading home from here, didn't you met James outside he came to fetch you.”

        “What!? Are you kidding me? Who is following who home? Certainly not Izzy following that James. I'm not going back to that hell he calls home, well I might go there to pick up my stuffs but not to go back there and live again.”

     “Izzzyy!” She called out my name running her hand through her hair. “What are you saying now? Please stop it, you two have to talk and resolve this please. James is ready to change why won't you?”

     “Because I've done nothing wrong. So you allowing me to stay at your place mom Kevin?”

     “No way am allowing you after knowing you have a home and husband to go to.”

   “Common Fiona!”

      “Seriously NO Izzy, and despite that, my husband is in town you won't enjoy living with me 'cause I'm always with him when he is around.”

      “Oh! Is that so?” I said sarcastically “I thought you were the one that told me he'll be travelling today. Nevertheless, I will be going to Ryan's I'm sure he wont reject me.”

      “No way you're staying with Ryan, okay agreed, we'll go to my place.”

       I chuckled “Good girl Fiona! I love you. But before then I need to fetch my things from James' home.”
