THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE - HIT

Lila POV

I swear I ran like I'm in the middle of a marathon. I can feel my body shaking. His familiar scents are still attached to me.

How the hell did we end up seeing each other again?

Sweetheart? Why did he call me sweetheart all of a sudden?

Talk? Discuss everything? What the hell? I should have slapped him on the face but instead I let myself be glued out there and even let him kiss me.

I am such a moron that I couldn't put my walls on him. I keep enchanting and telling myself every day that I already move on and that I can live without him. His nothing to me and to my daughter. He is non-existent in my world. But tonight I found out that everything I've been trying to put out is just a facade. Because deep down I know I am still affected by him.

"Princess you ok?" My driver said once I settled on the backseat.

"Yeah, can we go now? We don't need to wait for my sisters and mom!"

I just need to text my mom and sisters. It's not a lie anymore. I just need to get out of here as fast as I can because I didn't want him to hear from him shouting my name.

I feel the car move slowly as I grab my phone from my pocket. Good thing I always put it inside my pocket. I texted my mom that I will be heading first since I am not feeling well and I feel tired. But before I can send my message, the stop abruptly almost sends me flying. I am just lucky that I hold on to the seat like it's my dear life.

"What's the matter Noel?" I asked the driver. He looked at me with worried eyes.

"I think I ran out someone!"

"A what?" I said with a shriek. How the hell does that happen?

"He appears out of nowhere. And it's too late for me to hit the brake. So I think I hit him!"

"Him?" I asked. "Come on, let's get out and see!" I said to him,

I got out of the car as fast as I could. But when I saw the person lying on the ground. I almost fainted because the guy is none other than Blake.

I quickly went to his side and examined him.

"You ok?" I asked him.

What an idiot question it is. There's no way he is ok. He is lying down here and I saw him whimpering.

He tried to sit up but winced when he moved.

"Don't move, my driver already called an ambulance. Why did you appear out of nowhere?" I said to him as I helped him sit up.

"I wanted to catch you!"

The sound of the4 siren caught our attention. I saw the medics went out and slowly put him down and carried him.

"Sweetheart, please come with me!" He said to me, "Please???" He said and I saw his eyes looking so desperately needing even the evidence of him being in pain he was still waiting for my response.

"Fine!" I said. "But I need to change first? You know…!" I said fixing my stares on my dress and into him.

"No…!" Urg so much for wanting attention. This guy will be the death of me.

"Blake I promise ok?" I said as I watched him being transported inside the ambulance.

"Fine, but if you don't I will report your driver for hitting me!"

I nodded at him not wanting to argue even more. This guy always looks for something he can benefit from.

"Princess?" My driver asked me once I settled down on the back seat of the car once again.

"It's ok Noel, no need to worry. I will handle it!" I said as I saw him looking at me with worries in his eyes.

"But I hit him hard, Princess Liliana!" He said as he kept shaking his head.

"Don't worry about it. Just drive me to the palace so I can change and head to the hospital to look after that man!"

He nodded and thanked me.

"Please don't tell this to my mom.!"

"Hmmmm… I don't think it will be a secret Princess. Especially the medics who can recognize you!" He said and I can agree with him.

With the way I dress right now there's no way they can tell I am from royalty.

Why did I see him again in the first place? This would never happen if we didn't bump each other after three years.

As I reached the palace I immediately went to my daughter's room. I saw her sleeping peacefully, thank goodness. I thought she would throw tantrums as she can't see me before she sleeps.

My little girl is just like her father, very persistent and hard headed. As I said she got everything from her father, his looks and attitudes.

I quickly change into comfortable clothes. I prayed as I was heading to the hospital that everything would go smoothly.

When I reached the hospital and asked for his room. I saw his parents talking to the doctors. They both snapped their attention to me then just like a miracle they both smiled friendly at me.

Is it weird that I feel weird all the sudden? Gosh Maybe I am just imagining things here.

"Oh you're here, actually he's been waiting for you inside!" Blake's mom said to me as she pointed to the room in front of me.

I can never get used to this kind of treatment of her. She's more in tiger mode than when she saw me before. Right now she's acting normal and even offered me to be with her son?  Weird! I mumble to myself.

I shrugged and walked straight to the door and opened it. I saw Blake sitting uncomfortably with all those things attached to his hands. He smiled when he spotted me.

"Sweetheart!" He greeted me. He patted the space beside him and I gave him a pointed look. What is he trying to do?

"I am good here!" I said as I sat down on the chair on his bedside.

"But I want you closer!" He whined at me.

Never in a million years I thought I would be able to witness the kind of Blake I saw just then. When things ended between us I didn't expect this kind of reaction to him.

"Look I came here because I don't want you to think that I ran out of my responsibility. It's actually not my driver's fault. You appeared out of nowhere then jumped in the road. Good thing he was able to press the brake. My goodness you shouldn't do that!" I said to him,
