MARCUS
I didn’t want to go back to the hospital, not until I found my wife and have spoken to her. I couldn’t just lose her too carelessly like that. I needed her now more than ever, she was my reason for waking up in the morning, the reason I look strong to everyone out there. She made me feel that way just because she was there to catch me when I would fall.
When the exhaustion hit, when all hope is gone, when nothing seemed to make sense. She was there with me and for me. she lifted me up, gave me strength and continued to cheer me on. I was who I was because I had her. she made sense of my world because she is my world.
People say something like this a lot, I am nothing without you, then turn around and do something else. Some might even say I was exactly the same for what I did to my wife. But what no one understood was the fact that I got to do all that because I had a rock by myside.
1 really had and was nothing without her. “I am sure you are blaming yourself right now, asking yourself why you didn’t see it coming. Wondering if she is going to come back to you.” I glanced at Nick, as much as I didn’t want to hear what he had to say. He was still the only person who understood exactly what I was going through.
“Do you think she is going to come back?” against my better judgement, I asked. I knew I was going to regret the answer. Nick sighed. “Well, I can’t say. She might or might not. You must remember that this is not the first time Olivia has gone through something like this. Also, it has to do with the same person who caused her misfortune the first time.”
I knew that but I still didn’t want to look at my situation that way. I wanted to keep having hope and lie to myself if need be. I didn’t want to think about my wife not coming back, I didn’t want to think about not seeing her beautiful face ever again.
“How do I get her back?” Nick burst out laughing, he was laughing so hard that his was holding his stomach with tears in the corners of his eyes. “This is not a laughing matter!” it was like I tickled him; he was laughing so hard that he stopped the car on the side of the road.
I was so annoyed and wished I had drove with Ethan instead. He finally stopped then looked at me and chuckled before getting back into the car. “Oh, Marcus, you are so funny man. How can you ask me something like that, do you think she would be your wife now if I knew the answer to that?” he raised an eyebrow looking at me.
I knew what he was saying was correct however, I did not want to hear it. I hoped for better advice from him since Ethan I mad at me. I didn’t blame him; both his friends have managed to hurt the woman he loved and could never be with.
I also know that he was one of the few people who could find her for me. “Look man, I can’t say you won’t get her back, but I also can’t say you will get her back. All that depends on her. we are different and our situations are different. Don’t compare yourself to me.” I felt like he was mocking me when he said that.
“What are we going to do about Sandra?” Nick’s expression changed so fast as if he was not laughing a minute ago. Sandra was a sore subject for all of us. “I want her dead, she hurt me and Olivia enough. I want her dead and want to do it myself to make sure.” noveldrama
I looked out the window not sure what to say. “But she is the mother of your child, I will not do anything to her. you will decide what to do.” His words sat heavy on my heart.
I hoped he would make it easy for me, kill her or don’t kill her was not going to be my decision thus taking away the guilt I would one day feel when my daughter asks who her mother is. Now the man was telling me that I was the one who was supposed to decide.
How does one decide something like that, “I see your hesition and 1 think that Sandra knew that we would find It difficult to do what needs to be done knowing that she is the mother of your child. If there was no child involved, and Sandra did something to hurt Olivia again like now. I was going to end her without hesitating. But this is your decision to make.”
I sighed, tension gathering on my shoulders and suddenly understood what people mean when they say they feel like they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. I felt the exact same way.
The tension that gathered there, this feeling in my chest like I had an elephant sitting on it. right then the only thing I could do was focus on my breathing. I didn’t want heart problems like Nick. I had a daughter to think of.
“Do you want my honest opinion?” I wasn’t sure I wanted, for some reason, I felt like whatever he was going to say was going to push me right to the edge, I was already struggling to come to terms with the fact that my wife was gone. I didn’t think I could handle more.
But then again, curiosity got the better of me. “Go ahead, tell me.” Nick briefly glanced at me; I hated the look he gave me. “I think you will lose Olivia if you don’t do anything about Sandra.” I was afraid he was going to say something like that.
How the hell does one choose? As if he could read my thoughts, Nick said. “It’s not about choosing one over the other. It’s about you asking yourself what is best for your daughter. Is it having Sandra for a mother, a woman who only had her to mess with people’s lives, or Olivia who will never see her as her own as long as Sandra, her mother and the woman who has caused her so much pain is still around.”
He sighed then glanced back at me. “Do you think Olivia will get along with Sandra and they will go shopping with the child and do all that women do? Do you think she will ever be comfortable in a place where Sandra is? Hell, you have to choose, keep Sandra and lose Olivia.”
What do you think?
