Elena’s pov
I found myself facing an unexpected demise, struck by a bullet that wasn’t intended for me. The mysterious workings of fate had intervened, leaving me uncertain if this was indeed my destined path.
We reached a gate, and to my surprise, the doors swung open on their own accord. We stepped inside, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of bewilderment as I took in the incredible sights before me.
People having the best time of their lives, playing everywhere, and doing the most things that humans would do.
“The world you left is such a cruel world. Here there is absolute peace and tranquillity. No thoughts, no fear, no death, and above all, happiness rules” He said as we made a way through these people.
While some turned to stare at us, others didn’t mind what was happening as they kept on doing what they loved doing.
From meters away, I could see someone else standing by and holding up a book in his hands.
“Here is where we ascertain if you have lived your time” The man who held my hands pointed out.
Once we arrived before the other man with the big book, he looked at us… Well, specifically at me and smiled, saying;
“Welcome Elena….” There was something familiar about him, but I could not place my head around it.
“It’s such a pity watching you die like that” He had a sad look on his face once he made that statement.
“Liam killed you abruptly, we call it a hitch in fate, it wasn’t your time to die. You will return back to earth and live out your time” I looked up at him to see if he was serious about what he had just said.
Indeed I was going back to earth, to Mac, to Vee, to Sophia, and to everyone who had a genuine interest in me.
“We have gathered statements from your friend Mac. He seemed pretty broken about your demise and seeing how hurt he is, it was necessary we sent you back to him” Again I was shocked by his statement.
“For the first time, he offered prayers for you to live, and as genuine as it is, we couldn’t just let that prayer go without being fulfilled” It was funny knowing that Mac prayed, it made my heart yearn for him more.
“Things would really change when you go back, I need you to understand this because we know how broken your home is. Your mother is an alcoholic, coupled with her Gerontophile ways, and your father is marrying another. We just you to understand that all will be fine.” My background wasn’t the best, but for some reason, I held on to his words about things going to be much better.
“You have to go now, there is no time left,” He said.
I turned to stare at the man, who had led me up to this place, he was smiling at me and it once again gave me much joy to see his face, even though I didn’t know him.
“What is your name?” Before he could answer me, I found myself floating within and something seemed to be drawing me back.
The last thing I could remember from him was something that I held on to my self.
“I will always be with you” He had mentioned.
Mac pov
Over two hours and no nurse seemed to be out of the ER yet. I was almost giving up on the whole thing when a nurse stepped out of the room.
I rushed up to her and pleaded to at least know the situation on the ground. She stared at me with pitiful eyes and said;Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“It’s a Miracle that she is still alive, just sit back down, once she wakes up, we will let you in” I couldn’t contain my joy at her statement.
I had always known Elena to be a survivor and once again, she had just proved me right. Another thing that baffled me was the fact that my wish had been granted.
I looked up to the heavens and to God in particular I mouthed “Thank you” And went back to my seat, waiting for her to wake up.
A few hours later, the same nurse who had broken the news to me, came out and ordered that I follow her.
Once we were in the ER, there she was lying the other way and suddenly, there was movement from her body, she turned around and I ran to meet her, with tears in my eyes.
“Babe, you are alive” I held her hands and placed them on mine, never letting go. A few hours ago, I believed she was going to die, but again she was alive.
“You prayed?” Was the first statement that came out of her mouth, catching me by surprise.
“Yea? How did you know that?” She simply smiled at me and didn’t say a word after. This was what I had always wished for, the happy smiles from Elena. She was an innocent creature, who certainly didn’t deserve me.
“How long have I been out?” She asked and I checked my wrist watch and realised I had been sitting for almost seven hours. The sun was certainly beginning to rise up.
“Seven hours” She stared in disbelief and I laughed at her reaction. God! I didn’t know what I would do if I had lost her.
“You have been crying?” She asked and quickly, I wiped off the remaining tears in my eyes and put on a smile.
“Who would believe this? Mac Lee, the Alpha male of Oakwood, my one-time bully and the man who had captured my heart was crying” We both laughed at the scenario she painted and there was a short silence afterwards. We were staring at each other. My heart was thumping with so much joy at the sight of seeing her and it was inevitably clear that my feelings were certain.
“I love you, Elena,” I said the words as they came out of my heart.
“And I love you too” She replied with a smile on her face
