Mistaken Identity novel Chapter 51

Alex POV

I hurriedly got out of the taxi and sprint in the hospital. My chest was hurting. It felt like my heart was ripped out. The love of my life was here in hospital, on her deathbed. I walked up the receptionist. It was a man.

"I'm here to identify a female, who's being in a accident." I told him right away.

He looked at me with a bad eye then began to look it up on the computer. After a while I saw Luke and Alliyah coming towards me.

"Where is she? Is she okay? Please tell me where not late, please?" Alliyah pled with the man.

"Shh..sweetheart. It's gonna be okay." Luke said trying to comfort her. We all have being like this in the plane. It was a 5 hour flight. It was hectic.

"No, It's not okay. What if she's dead. I'll never get a chance to tell her how sorry I am." Luke wrapped his arms around her and she sobbed in his shoulders. I looked at her crying and made me want to cry too.

I never told her how I felt. Never told her I'm sorry for hurting her. Never told her how much I love her.

"Sir," I was brought out of relevé by the receptionist.

"Yes,"

He looked at me sad. Oh my god, no. Please no. "I have good news and bad news." The three us wait on him to continue. "The good news is that she's alive after such a tragic accident. The bad news is that she hit her head pretty bad and now she's in a coma. We've did surgery on her and it was successful, she was to wake up and hour ago but didn't."

"Oh my god." Alliyah cried out.

I brought my hands to my face. I felt the tears running. She's alive but she's unable to communicate. It was like she's dead.

I start crying a little harder with my hands over my face.

"Come on mate, it's going to be fine. She needs the two of you guys to be strong. Be strong for her." I looked up at Luke with my red eyes. He's right. I need to be strong. I need to stay strong for her.

I looked back at the receptionist. "Can I see her?"

He looked at me with sad eyes. "I call the doctor, so he's coming. But I'll need you to sign up a form please." He reached over a drawer and took out a form. He gave me the form and I noticed I didn't really know a lot about Kalliyah. I looked up at him.

"How long is a person in a coma likely start there for?" Alliyah asked.

The doctor gaze shift to hers. "It can take up to fifteen years."

Alliyah started crying again. Luke brought his hands around her to secure her. The doctor looked at her. "Miss, it's healthy for you either. You might get stressed out and your blood pressure might drop, so please. Be calm, your sister is okay."

She looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Can I see her?"

The doctor looked at his clipboard then back at Alliyah.

"Yes, you can see her. I suggest you go in one at a time."

"Ok, that's fine, as long as we get to see her." I said.

"Let's go then," the doctor said and led the way to her room.
