Unforgivable Truths
Chapter 4
Justin was nervous, it was too early for Alex to be in the hospital, and who took her? He knew the handwriting was familiar, he entered the hospital and asked for his sister, when he was about to get where he was told he saw his father, he stopped and just glared at him. Jerry saw him as well.
-Justin... come here. It's all right -he said
-How's Alex? What happened?
-We don't know yet... something went wrong... look... your mother told me what happened... I still don't know what to think so... just, I'm sorry for hitting you.
-It's all right... where's Mom?
-On her way here, she was closing the sub station and
-Wait... then it was you... you found Alex and brought the groceries and found... of course, it was your handwriting...
-Jerry how is she? What happened to my little girl? -Theresa asked as she arrived.
The man hugged his wife.
-We're waiting for the Doctor to come out and tell us.
-Alex said he couldn't bare to be here so he just wanted us to call him when we know anything -Theresa said
A few minutes later a Doctor approached.
-Are you the family of Alexandra Margaret Russo?
-Yes we are, how is she? -Jerry replied
-I'm Doctor John Carter, as you may know, teen pregnancies are of high risk to both the mother-to-be and the unborn child, unfortunately in Alexandra's case, she suffered a complication and at this point we can't tell...
He went silent for a moment.
-Tell what? -Theresa asked
-How is she??? -Justin said also
-We can't tell if either will make it. We're doing our best to save both your daughter's and your daughter's baby lives.
There hugged her husband and sobbed, Justin just plummeted on a chair looking at nowhere. Three days later Justin woke up when his cellphone rang.
-Get to the hospital, the Doctor wants to see us all -Jerry said
Half an hour later Theresa, Jerry and Justin arrived to the the hospital, they were led to Doctor Carter's office by one of the nurses.
-How's Alex? -Jerry asked
-Your daughter is fine... unfortunately... despite our efforts I'm afraid she lost the baby. - Dr. Carter replied
Theresa gasped and hugged Jerry
-Does she know? -Justin asked
-I spoke with her early, but she needs you all at this point. -Dr. Carter said
Alex was in her room watching at the ceiling when someone knocked at her door.
-Come in... -she said
Theresa was first to come in and sat beside her.
-You know don't you? -she asked as she saw the look on her mother's face
Jerry sat on the other side
-It'll be fine baby, you'll see. -he said
She glared at Justin with teared eyes.
-Guess you're off the hook huh? Nothing to worry about, no need to search for any spells anymore -Alex said in the verge of crying.
-No... no, it's not what I wanted, ever... you have to believe me...
-I just want to get back home... forget all this ever happened...
-You can go home whenever you want, both of you -Jerry said
Theresa smiled at her husband as finally things were clear between her husband and her sons.
Three months later...
Justin was back in college and was working in his dorm room when he was informed that someone was there to see him.
-Alex?
-I... just wanted to say I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you...
-Look, it was an accident, you don't need to
-An accident I caused - Harper said arriving beside his sister
-Look, it was an accident, neither of you needs to be sorry all right?
Alex hugged her brother
-Thank you...
-It's all right...
The end.
