So I began school again and I really don't have enough time to write. I do my best... I hope you can understand !

CHAPTER 9:

I wake up at home, alone. I can't even remember what happened. Why am I on my bed? The door opens and I look up. Christina walks in with a bottle of water in hand.

"Tris! How do you feel?"

"Not so good. How did I come home?"

She sits next to me, leaving the bottle on the nightstand.

"They sedated you and after you went incouscious, Zeke spoke to the doctor to prove you are Tobias' wife but he didn't believe him so they'll ask Tobiasa about you when he'll wake up."

"If he wakes up." I correct.

She takes me in her arms and rubs my back.

"Then you opened your eyes but every one could see you weren't totally yourself. Zeke brought you home and I stayed here to take care of Olaya."

"Is she here?"

"In the living room."

I slowly get up with the cover tangled around me. She helps me to stay on my feet as my mind tries to clear my vision and make the black dots disappear. I carefully walk out of my bedroom, my body and mind still dizzy from the medications.

Olaya is watching TV with her necklace in her hand. I almost break down in tears when I realize how much she misses him. She thinks he is all right and will come back in 5 months. I sit next to her. I expect her to look at me and cuddle in my side as she always does but she only shoots me a dark look.

"I want to see daddy!" She says.

"You can't, he is still working."

I don't know if she knows Tobias is in the hospital or not but I don't want her to know.

"Auntie Chris says daddy sleep."

I look at my bestfriend and she is red. I give her a hard look but I don't say anything. She sits next to me.

"I didn't tell her." She whispers.

"How did she know then?" I say trying to stay calm.

"She maybe heard me talking with Zeke. I don't know..."

"What did you hear?" I ask Olaya.

"Daddy is sick. I want to give daddy a kiss. He do this when I am sick."

I sit her on my lap and caress her hair.

"I know you want to see him but daddy is still sleeping and we can't visit him. I promise you you'll see him when the doctor says we can. Okay?"

She nods and kisses her necklace.

I kiss the top of her head as I feel Christina's hand on my shoulder. Ten minutes later, I let Olaya with Christina so I call make a phone call. I sit on my bed and dial Evelyn's number. It rings two times before she answers.

"What do you want?" She harshly says.

"I get it that you hate me and you don't want me near Tobias ever since me got married but you can't do that to Olaya. She needs her father. You don't like me but you love her and you love him. Please do that for them!" I almost beg.

I hear her laugh through the receiver, making me shake with rage.

"Tris, Tris, Tris... I know Tobias isn't her father. He may have been blind when you left at night to go to sleep with that guy, Eric, but I wasn't."

"Wh-what?" I stutter. "It never happened. You know I love him more than anything and I would never do that to him."

"Well, why don't we see who he will listen, his loving mother or his unfaithful wife?"

She laughs and hung up as I scream. I throw my phone on my pillow. I take the quilt, bury my face in it and scream. I scream, cry, hit. I could kill her right now. I lost him for good.

Christina runs in and tries to calm me down but it's nearly impossible. She lays me on the bed and pins me to it while she makes me look in her eyes but I don't see her. I don't stop crying, screaming and trying to get free. She looks for something in her backpocket then I feel a pinch on my arm. My movement are slowler and weaker then my vision turns black.

My eyes slowly open but my eyelids are still heavy. I hear a little cry but it's faint in my ears. Seconds pass as the cry becomes really loud. I could recognize that cry among a thousand. It's Olaya. I get up as quickly as I can. I walk in the living room to see her with Zeke. He tries to calm her down but I can see she doesn't want to be touched.

"Olaya, you don't want a hug from Uncle Zeke?" He asks and she shakes her head.

"No! You are not daddy. I want daddy!" She yells.

"I know, but daddy must sleep."

I take a step forward and she looks at me. She runs in my arms then I hold her.

"It's okay honey. I will do anything so you can see daddy as soon as possible."

"You promise?"

"Yes."

I kiss her cheek as she snakes her hand around my neck and lays her head on my shoulder.

Two days later

Today Olaya is going to school and I have to go to work. I cook her breakfast while she is sitting at the table. I put her plate in front of her. She looks at it then pushes it away. I put it back on front of her and she does it again.

"What's wrong, Olaya?"

"I don't want this" She says as she pushes it further away.

"You always ate oatmeal"

"I don't want it" She pushes it again.

"Olaya!" I scold but she doesn't react.

She pushes it again to the edge of the table while looking at me. I take the plate and put it in front of her.

"Eat now!" I order.

"No! I don't want it" She talks back. "I want pancakes"

"You will not have pancakes. So eat!"

"NO!"

I look at her and she looks at me with a hint of a smile. That smile isn't the one she always has when she is happy, I don't know this smile.

She pushes her plate and it falls on the floor. There is oatmeal everywhere and she only smiles.

"Go in your room!" I yell.

She stands up, leaving to her room with her head down. When I hear the door closing, I break down crying.

-Tobias is in the hospital

-He probably hates me

-Evelyn doesn't let me see him

-Olaya misses her father

-Olaya can't stand to be away from him

-She thinks it's my fault

It's too much! I begin to clean this mess, still crying. I wipe my eyes once I am done then go to her room. I open her door. Olaya is sitting on her bed with her necklace in her hand and she is starring at the picture in it. I sit next to her and caress her head.

"I am sorry, mommy" She cries.

I hold her in my arms kissing her head.

"It's okay. I know it's hard for you but I don't want you to do that again. You promise you won't do it again?"

"I promise"

I stand up and takes her hands.

"Come on, you have to eat something."

She follows me in the kitchen and I prepare another cup of oatmeal. This time, she eats it. I sip at my cup of coffee, watching her. When she finish her plate, she looks at me and for a second, I see Tobias' eyes.

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"I ate it"

I nod and put the cup of coffee aside. I help her get dressed then I get dressed myself. I sit her in the car, buckle her seatbelt and leave to the school. I walk her to the classroom. She kisses my cheek then runs to her friends. I walk to the teacher and tap her shoulder.

"Hello, I am sorry to disturb you but I am Olaya's mother and she is really emotional today. Don't hesitate to call me if anything is wrong."

She smiles kindly and nods.

"I will, don't worry about that."

"Thank you."

I wave at Olaya and she just smiles. I leave to go to work, already tired. As I open the door of the office, I see Marlene sipping her coffee. She smiles as she taps something on her computer.

"Hi Tris!"

"Hello! How are you?"

"I am fine, thanks. And you?"

"Tired."

I sit on my chair and switch on my computer. She puts a cup of coffee on my desk, making me smile.

"Thanks! This morning was rough."

"What happened?"

"Olaya. She talked back and she broke a plate."

"You're kidding..."

"No. She misses Tobias and she thinks that I am the one who doesn't let her see him."

"I am sorry. I hope it will be okay."

"I do too. Eric proposed to talk to the doctor so he must be talking with him as we speak."

She smiles at this. I look at the appointements today and luckily, the day isn't busy.

Docteur Melin arrives and she hugs us both.

"Hello!"

"Hi!" We both say.

She looks at the planning for today and smiles. She walks back to her office and we wait.

The first patient arrives at 8.43. I talk with Marlene about everything that had happened yesterday. It was sunday and Eric insisted to help me with Olaya. We went to the swimming pool. He played with Olaya as I just laid down and relaxed. He is a very good friend and I think he sees his daughter in Olaya so he loves to take care of her.

I explained how Olaya convinced him to buy her an ice cream which didn't please me.

Marlene stopped smiling a while ago and I frown.

"Is everything wrong?" I ask.

"Yeah...you're talking about Eric as your boyfriend or Olaya's father. I know it's stupid but I have to ask. Do you have feelings for Eric?"

I stare at her as if she lost her mind.

"What? Of course not. Eric is just a friend who is here to help me.

"I'm sorry Tris. But I had to ask..."

"I can't believe you could think that. You more than enyone else know how I feel. Tobias isn't here for her and I am alone. It's the same thing for you. I don't suggest you cheat on your husband with Zeke or Will when you talk to them or spend some time with them."

"I didn't say you cheated on him." She says.

"No, but you thought that. You blamed me for something I didn't do." I yell.

"I am sorry Tris but I know you're lonely and really sad. I was afraid that you'd think Tobias wasn't worth the fight."

I stare at her, tears gathering in my eyes.

"Don't you dare say or think I don't love Tobias." I spit.

I turn my head and wipe my eyes before the tears leave my eyes. I focus on my screen when two arms wrap around me.

"I am sorry Tris. I shouldn't have doubt it." She says while rubbing my arms.

"No, you shouldn't have."

She sits back and the tension slowly fades.

11 o'clock, her phone rings. She answers without lookind at her phone and then she freezes.

"Uriah? Is it you?" She whispers.

Her eyes begin to fill with tears and I smile. I am happy she can finally talk to him.

"Oh my god, are you alright?"

"Of course I am." I hear a voice say.

I turn around to see Uriah in the doorway. Marlene turns around too and leaps in his arms. She hugs him tightly. He does the same thing. I watch them with a smile when they kiss.

They mutter I love you to each other and kiss more. I look back at my screen to let them in their bubble.

A few minutes later, I hear Uriah speak.

"I want an explanation! Why is Trissy still sitting in that chair?"

I look up and see him smiling. I go hug him while he laughs.

"I missed you" He says.

I always considered Uriah as a brother. He is almost as protective over me as Tobias is. Almost.

"I missed you, big bro."

I let him go and he snakes his arm around Marlene.

"When did you come home?" I ask.

"My plane landed at 2 am and I slept at the hotel because I could only take the train at 8. I just arrived."

She kisses him which makes me smile.

"I wanted to go at Zeke's to meet my niece. Are you coming with me, love?" He asks her but she shakes her head.

"I would love to but I can't leave now. But we are free to leave at 2 this afternoon. We'll join you."

"Alright. I love you."

"I love you too."

They share one last kiss then he leaves. Marlene has that smile on her face and nothing could wipe it off. She hum a song while tapping on her keyboard but I don't say anything. She deserves to be happy too.

My phone rings but I don't know who it is.

"Hello?"

"Tris? It's Eric."

"Hi. What's wrong?"

"I talked to the doctor and I am coming right now."

"Can I see him?" I ask.

"I am coming" And he hangs up.

I try not to scream in frustration and it's really hard.

"What's wrong?" Marlene asks and I was wrong, her smile can disappear.

"Eric is coming with news but he doesn't want to tell me anything."

Soon enough, the door opens and Eric comes in. I get up and stand in front of him.

"Tell me what's going on."

"Tobias woke up."

I freeze and look at him, unable to say anything.

"It's amazing. You can see him, Tris." Marlene says excitedly but Eric doesn't smile.

"I talked to Tobias and he said he doesn't want to see you."

Review ! I want to see what you think of this chapter ! :)
