I Love You

Chapter 17

( Angelie thought about it.)

Angelie: " He's right, this would be good for Alex, over the course of these few days, he's been acting really strange, depressed and all that, maybe he needs something positive to counter weight the whole thing and make him feel a lot better."
Angelie: " Forgetting about it all, about all the pain I went through because of him, he just wants me to forget it, like if nothing ever happened, knowing that because of him I took to cutting myself up till the beginning of Alex and I, he's not exactly asking me to do anything easy, its because of those memories I sometimes have my moments of mistrust with Alex and just about everyone else around me."
Angelie: " To me, its something that's helped me survive in this jungle of a world, but now, the guy who cause me to change in this way, is asking me to forgive him, what if I grow weak because of this, this could be something that brings me down completely, I don't think its a good idea to trust him, but he does make a point, I'd be doing all this, for Alex... still..."

Angelie: I wanna forgive you Emilio, but I-
Emilio: before you say anything else, think of Alex for a sec, this is all for him, not for us, to be honest the whole reason I'm even doing this is because of him, losing his parents is bad enough without us being gone as well.

(She seemed to follow in his reason even more after hearing this.)

Angelie: I guess you can say you're right.
Angelie: Ok, lets forget the past then.
Emilio: You mean it?
Angelie: Yeah, lets just see how he takes it at first.
Emilio: I guess you're right in that.

They waited for Alex to get back to be able to explain all, he didn't take long, few minutes after they finished talking, Alex walked in with the food he had been asked to bring. After eating, they explained to Alex what they planned to do to get him to feel better, he seemed rather confused and pretty un realistic about this idea. he allowed them to go on with the idea, still having his doubts about whether it would work or not, but for once, he seemed happy to see something was working out in his life. Time had passed as if they were having the time of their lives. A red, beat up vehicle pulled up at the hospital parking, the driver had exited the car without properly parking her car, she quickly made her way to the hospitals lobby, where she asked for Emilio's room. She rushed with a nurse at her side.

Alex: Hey guys, I'm gonna go get some water, I'll be right back.

As he exited the room, the women say his and yelled out "Alex!!!"
Alex stopped, he recognized the voice of the women who'd called him out. Turning back slowly, he hoped deeper and deeper that it was the person he'd been dying to see and hear from. Upon making his full turn, his eyes bean watering, tears of joy sprung from his eyes.

Alex: Mom?
Stella: Alex!

He almost gave chase to her, looking for nothing but warmth from a women he'd thought had been long gone, a women who'd deserted him. Then he remembered.

Alex: " She's back, but what explanation could she give me for leaving me this long, I know that even if I demand for it, she wont tell me anything, she'd just stay as closed and quiet as a rock, so really, Nothing has changed, she knows everything that's happened to me, but I know nothing of what's happened to her and knowing her well, this is already in a grave."

Stella: God I've missed you!
Alex: Where the hell have you been?
Stella: Alex, wha-
Alex: You left for two and a half months, with no trace of where you where or even a sign of coming back, I needed you when I got shot and you couldn't even be there for me, what kind of mother leaves her son alone while he's going through something like that, because I know for sure my mother would never have made me go through that alone.

(Angelie exits the room, making her way to Alex's side, having Alex calm down.)

Stella: Alex, I know I've been the worst mother these past two and a half months, not worrying about you and not giving you signs of affection throughout this whole time, but now I'm here, I wanna spend these few days along with you, with my son, please, I ask you, please find it in your heart to forgive me and come home with me?
Alex: "Few days?"
