Ava
I opened my eyes and it took minutes for my blurred vision to clear, I was on a hospital bed and Nicus wasying his head on the bed, he was seated on a seat beside me and was holding my right hand firmly like I was running away, I felt so loved seeing how exhausted he looked yet he never let go of my hand,
And then it came rushing like a sh, the memories of what happened, the wedding and the shooting, Rihanna! Where is she? panic set in immediately
“Nick, Nick?” I started calling him to wake him up
“My heartbeat?” He called in surprise as he rubbed his eyes
“My heartbeat, you’re awake?” He jumped in excitement hugging me so right
“Ri…. where is Ri?” I stuttered praying against negativity
“Calm down my heartbeat”
“Where is Rihanna?!” I screamed and made to climb down the bed but Nicus suddenly held me back, my parents rushed into the room
“Ava you’re awake” My mum rushed and hugged me so tight, why are they all acting like I’m dead
“What happened mum, where is Ri?”
“Come on Ava Ri is fine, I fact she already woke up a month ago,” Mum said shocking the bones out of me
“A…a…month?”
“Yes Ava, you’ve been in aa for three months, thank God you’re back” Mum uttered pulling away
“You all are saying I’ve beenying here for three months?”
“Yes baby girl, the doctor said everything that happened traumatized your memory and that’s why you’ve been in aa, we all have been worried, especially Rihanna and the kids, we all missed you,” Dad said, cing a lingering kiss on my forehead.
I was shocked, I never knew that I’ve beenying in one ce for three months, but it’s all worth it, but then Sherly….
“What happened to Sherly?”
“She died after Capo shot her, and her corpse was taken by the police and buried” Nick answered beside me
“And Capo!”
“He’s still in prison we all are waiting for you to wake up before they charge him to court we felt you might have something to say to him” Nick added
“Thank you all so much for the support I really appreciate you all for not giving up on us”
“Bestie!!” I heard Rihanna’s voice and look at the door to see her standing and smiling with a bunch of flowers in her hand while Chris stand beside her smiling too
“Wait I’m I missing something?”
“They are now a couple” Nicus whispered to my ear, my eyes widened in shock and I look at Ri to see her smiling sheepishly
“Come here, I deserve a hug” I smiled with open arms, she pouted and dragged herzy feet toward me
“I miss you so much” She whimpered hugging me
“I miss you too” I whispered rubbing my back, she was my best friend, my everything
“Ava do you know Ri couldn’t stop crying she brings you flowers every day,” Mum said, I pulled away from the hug and look at my bedside table to see a bouquet of flowers, I turn to Ri and she shrugged,
“I couldn’t help it, I miss you” She huped
I sighed, she was the first person to take a bullet for me, we ain’t rted by blood but she was more than blood to me, tears streaming down my eyes, all Ri has ever shown me was pure unconstitutional love, she was hurt because of me yet she sends me flowers every day
“Bestie you’re crying?” She touched my tears
“How did I get so lucky to have you Ri, I didn’t know what I did in this life to be blessed by you”
“You’re more than a sister to me Ava I would do anything for you remember?”
“Me too,e here” I hugged her again, I just didn’t feel like letting go, she was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Three dayster
“The kids are so excited to see you, they were so happy and could not contain their excitement when they heard you’reing back. They are decorating the house so beautifully waiting for your arrival” My mother said looking so happy, she was seated beside me while Nicus went to speak to the doctor about the discharge
I smile, I can’t believe all of this is over all our troubles are finally over and we are going to get the peaceful life we deserve
“I’m so happy mother”
“Of course my darling, haven’t you heard that nothing bad happens to good people”
Right now Nicus is driving us home, I can’t wait to meet my babies again, I can’t believe it’s been three months, but I’m d that everything is finally over and we’ll go back to living our normal lives again
Immediately I stepped down from the car
“Mumy!” I heard my babies scream, they were already running toward me and the next minute all three of them are already in my arms hugging me like their life depended on it
“We miss you, mummy”
“I miss you all my lovelies, I miss you guys so much” I showered their faces with kisses and they were all giggling, Xavier and Xander and down from my arms but Xacky refused he was clinging to my neck with his tiny arms refusing toe down, I carried him in my arms and walked into the house but was surprised on the beauty of the house, mum and Rihanna took time in using enough balloons to beautify the whole ce and “Wee back home” Was written in designs everything was made with so much love, I felt so happy
“My heartbeat it’s good to have you back” Nicus hugged me giving me flowers,
“And herees the strongest woman I know,” Chris said and we all burst outughing, he handed me a flower and pecked my forehead

“I’m the lucky one,” I said as we pulled away
