BEHIND OUR LOVE... CHAPTER 50
BY MIEMIEBEE


IZZY'S POV;

      2 hours later, I was awake, atleast now the pain I'm feeling all over my body and the headache is gone. I heard my door opened. Fiona appeared by it, I smiled at her in a distress manner and she smiled back. She came over amd sat by my bed “how are you feeling now?”  “Much better no any external pain only that my stomach and back hurts alot.” I state my eyes filling with moisture.

      “Oh common Izzy not again, I know how terrifying this is but you have to be strong for yourself, please. Sorry” She puts her hand and wiped off my tears. “Izzy what of James? What do you plan on doing?”

      I hissed, “James? You really do want to hear the step I'll take? I'm filing a case against him he has to pay for what he did to my child.”

     “Izzy! tell me you are not serious” Fiona exclaimed.

        “Just wait for me to get better Fiona, but why do you seem so concerned about that monste-”

    “Izzy please stop...” she cuts me off

     “No tell me this Fiona does that James deserves freedom? I can take whatever it is he has done to me but not what he has done to my child, he killed my child Fiona.” I re-informed her.

      “Remember the baby isn't just yours its James' too, you really don't know how he is feeling now, now that he has learnt the truth”

         “What are you taking about Fiona? What truth?”

              “I told him its his baby you were carrying, and all about the incident of the other day.”

            “What!” I excalimed in shock. “You did what? Come again, how can you tell him? I'm sure I didn't mention any part of you telling that monster even when I told you about the incident myself. Why will you have to tell him?”

         “Because he deserves to know the truth Izzy, stop being selfish. And he felt sorry for what he did either, I know this is hard but give him a chance to explain... Please Izzy. Come in James.” she snorts

       Just as I turned to the door, I saw James standing there his eyes were all red and puffy, he must have cried but what for? isn't this what he has always wanted? To see me like this Without saying a word to him, because I forever don't wanna talk to him again. I turned and looked at Fiona, “tell your guest to leave my room now before I lose my patience.”

      “Izzy” his voice caught me, I didn't mind looking at him. He came in and knelt down infront of me and I avert my gaze somewhere, I wasn't shock because even if it'll take him to commit suicide I still won't listen to him.

     “Izzy I'm so so sorry, I know I don't deserve any sympathy from you or any forgiveness, I really can't tell you how sorry I am.”

     “Nurse! Nurse! Nu-” I called out

    Fiona cuts me off, “Izzy! Please, I know you have a good heart just listen to him.” just then a different nurse from the one earlier came in running. “What is the problem in here?”

       Ignoring Fiona I said “Nurse please send this man away, I don't want to see him ever again. Send him away please. I don't even know him.” I cried out.

    “Uhm Sir I'm sorry but you have to leave, the patient don't want you here.”

     Without arguing like he did before he stood up and told Fiona almost crying “whenever she needs anything let me know please.” She nodded mutely and he left. I felt like telling him,

     I don't need anything coming from you ever again, but then I kept quiet because I don't want to ever talk to him again.

   “Izzy why are you complicating the situation like this? Atleast listen to him its embarrassing to be sending your husband away like this.”

     “Fiona the next time you call that monster my husband again, I'll send you away too. Tell me which husband will beat up his wife and kill his baby? Lets not talk about him please. I need to rest.” She nodded “I need to get you the basic things you'll be needing, but you don't have anyone to watch over you Izzy are you calling April?”

     “No I'm not telling anybody, all they'll be hearing is the case I will be filing against James.”

    “Izzy haven't we talked about this?”  Fiona pleaded and begged for me not to file a case, I told her nothing is stopping me. She kept on insisting and pleading me I can't say NO to Fiona since she've agreed to watching over me and leaving her family. For her sake i'm not filing a case against James now.
   
        She asked me the things I will be needing so she'll fetch them for me.

JAMES' POV;

       Why won't Izzy give me the chance to say sorry, is it too late now to say sorry? Cuz I'm missing morethan just your body... Its not even upto a day yet and I'm already missing her. I sat by the bench and watch over the door to her room. Fiona appeared infront of it, I hurriedly went over to her, “how's she?” She shook her head disapprovingly to me. “James Izzy don't want to talk to you, she don't want me to talk about you, she don't like anything about you. She said she'll be filing a case against you.”

        I felt my world tearing apart as the realisation of what Fiona just said now hits me. Sounding defeated I said “Izzy must hate me so much...” My throat constricted out of nervousness I felt tears coming out of my eyes rapidly and I couldn't stop them.

     “Oh common James, don't worry I've beg and plead her not to and finally she've agreed she's not filing any case now”

     “No Fiona you should have let her do it, its what I deserve anyways. I don't deserve to be a freeman I murdered my own child, I'm such a terrible person.”

       “James” she called out my name. “Quit it okay? Now lets go to your house and bring all that Izzy will be needing, don't worry I'll try my possible best to patch up things between you two.”

     “Fiona has anyone ever told you that you're a very kind and understanding person?”
   
     “Yes” she asnwered quizcally whilst nodding.  “I'll be telling you too, you're kind and understanding person, thank you.”

     “You're welcome” she states “lets go?” I nodded at her and we went. Whilst the ride last, I asked her alot of stuffs about Izzy, things she likes and hates. When we got home, I was the one who parked Izzy's things for her myself, I made sure everything she'll be needing is there before we left. I stoppped at an eatery and bought rice with stew, with shredded beaf and pepper chicken together with an apple juice.

 

            When I was back in the car, Fiona opened the package and saw whats inside, “Izzy must've like this.” She states.  “Yes” I nodded “I just hope she'll eat it because definately she'll know it came from me, also yours is inside.”

              “Is that so? Don't worry I'll tell her I was the one who bought it. But what made you say she'll think the food came from you when you are not the one who cooked it?”
 
         I gave her a sympathetic smile as I remembered the incident that happened the other day, when I made Izzy cook the whole food I bought just now in 5 hours time.”

     “You're silent” Fiona's voice caught me. “Its because I don't want to bring up the past, I've been an evil husband to Izzy. I just pray she eats it.” Not long enough we reached to the hospital, I brought out Izzy's things and Fiona brought out the lunch. “James what of you? Aren't you going to eat?”

      I nodded at her, “I don't have the appetite to eat, if Izzy eats, its fits by me.” I offered a smile.

      “James... They say its not too late to say sorry, but you're crying when the head has already been caught off...”

       “I know that Fiona I just hope Izzy knows that I'm ready to be a changed man, I'm hoping if she can give me a second chance. I know I don't deserve that but I need it so badly.”

        “I'll keep on bugging her till she agrees...”

       “Thanks but when its becoming hard on her just leave her I don't want to add to her problems, you should get going, lets not keep her hungry.” With a nod she turned to leave and I called her name making her to stop. “Yes James.”

      “Uh Fiona are you married?” I asked scanning through her fingers and before she could get to answer my question I answered it myself with a “yes.” She noticed the sudden change in my mood and asked if I'm fine.

       “Fiona I was thinking maybe you could stay and spend the night with Izzy, as you can see we have no family in here and she won't allow me watch over her for the world she don't even wants to see me. I'm sorry I didnt ask either or not you have kids to tend to or maybe your husband won't allow you.”

      She smiled, “not at all I've talked about it with my husband he'll be taking care of my son Kevin and I will watch over our Izzy.”

     “Thank you Fiona please do inform me anything you'll be needing here's my card.” I shoved my hand inside my pocket and gave my card to her. She nodded and I watched her leave. Inatantly my phone started buzzing, I felt weak upon seeing who was calling. Its Jade I really don't want whatever it is we are having to continue. “Hello Jade?”

     “Hi sweetie, how are you?”

“I'm not fine 'cause my wife is sick.”

     “Oh common baby since when have you started to care about that wife of yours, she don't deserve to be with you James.”

     “Don't dare insult my wife okay Jade? Don't pass the line.”

     “Common baby what has gotten into you? Have I done something wrong?”

     “No you did not, just that we have to stop whatever it is that's going on between us.”

         “Baby what are you talking about?”

     “Jade, you know well that I'm married I don't want to involve myself in an affair again I think it will be best if we just break up. I love my wife so much.” I'm hanging up.

     “James please wait, base on what I know you two don't get along what is happening now? Did you two start getting along all of a sudden?”

        “No not yet, I just want to patch up things with her I want to ammend my mistakes.”

      “And what if she says no to you James?”

      “Then so be it, I will respect each decision she takes. Farewell.” I hung up.
