Chapter 317 Chapter 317 ETHAN When I got outside, Nick was leaning against his car looking up in the sky as if he was a wolf about to howl to the moon. The door closing him alerted him of my presence. He looked over atthen opened the backseat, throwing his jacket in. "Am fine, Ethan, go back." He got into the car and drove off.
I could see he was not alright; the man had been my best friend since high school, I knew him better than most. I got into my car and followed him. the route he took gotthinking he was going to a bar to drown his sorrows. However, he took a turned heading to the Walker Memorial hospital. Where Lupita and her grandma were.
I wondered what the hell was he going to do there. I followed him into the underground parking lot. Ten minutes passed and he wasn't getting out. So, I got out of my car and when to check. The man had a bottle in hand and was drinking.
I didn't know when or where he got the bottle of brandy from. But it seemed as if he had been drinking all the while he was driving there. It gotanger because anything could have happened on the road, he could have gotten into an accident or caused one.

He stabled out. "I told you not to follow me, why are you here?" I had no words for him, I just glared. He shrugged with no care in the world.
"Why are you here, Nick? You should be going home." He walked away as I spoke. "I going to wake sleeping beauty." He stumbled but steadied himself before he could fall. What in the heavens ndid he mean by that? I hurried and grabbed him by the arm stopping him.
"Lettake you home." He roughly pulled his arm away. "I don't want to go home. I want to do one last thing for Olivia before I beca stranger to her." he chuckled. “A stranger." He whispered as if he couldn't believe it.
"I know Olivia lefta long tago, but I still held on, I continued to love her from a distance with the hope that she will cback toone day." He laughed mockingly. "I was wrong, she is not coming back." He laughed.
"So, letgrieve." A lone tear fell from his eye. He didn't bother to wipe it off. I still followed him into the hospital and all the way to the sixth floor. "So, what are you planning to do here.” I seriously had no idea what his plan was.
He mentioned doing one more thing for Olivia before they becstrangers, however, Nick was no doctor. He had no clue what was to be done in that situation. "Just wait and see." I leaned against the door and watched as he went and took a seat next to Lupita's bed.
"You must wake up now, Olivia needs you. she is surrounded by men who only know how to provide and protect. She has no one to talk to, she needs you. so, wake up." What a lplan that was.
Did he, in his drunk mind think Lupita was going to wake up just because he told her to? The doctors had been trying everything to wake them up for weeks now and they had not woken up. Yet, there he was, acting as if his words had smagical powers. That they could reach Lupita in her deep slumber and wake her up.
What a moron, my friend was when he was drunk. "My son almost died not so long ago. If you were there, looking out for him as you always have since he was a baby. None of that would have happened. He wouldn't been seeing a therapist now, because you would have been there, protecting him." A tear fell, he was hurting. Many things were on his mind. "Nick, con man. Lettake you home." He ignoredcompletely, as if was not even there. "So, before I disappear from Olivia's life, I need to wake up 4 1/2 Chapter 317 and be there for her. or you know I will not leave her alone. He chuckled.
*75 80** More tears came, I didn't know how long my friend was going to cry and grieve for the love he lost for. "I won't leave her alone Lupita because I believe the only people who know how to take good care of her, are you and L. so, how can I leave when you are not there to take over?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWow, so, to him we were just there but he did not trust us enough to care for Olivia, Nick could be so futbo himself walked over to him feeling annoyed by his words They said drunk men spoke no lies and I knew Nick, all that he said was how he truly felt. "Con, now. let's go. You have said enough and am sure Lupita heard you." he looked up at me. "I said I chere to wake her up, does she look like she is awake to you?' he took swing from the bottle then went back to looking at Lupita.
"If you don't wake up on your own then I am going to kiss you." I was m stanned. What hell was he talking about. "Nmean, the movies and fairy tales can't be far off." I couldn't help it then, I burst out laughing, Was that his plan? Nick was stupid. Nick stood then leaned in. I stopped laughing stanned. In my head I was telling myself that he was not going to do it. Nick leaned in more, getting closer and closer to Lupita's lips. Then, he kissed her, he then whispered, well, thought he was whispering.
"Wake up now love, for Samuel and me. wake up." Nick kissed her again. By that time, my eyes were wide as if they were going to pop right out of their sockets. The man seemed to enjoy kissing her as he didn't immediately move away.
I took a step forward to pull him away when Lupita lifted her hand. I stop in my tracks. "Nick..." he didn't answer. "Nick!" called louder this time, and he moved away from her. "What..." he couldn't finish as Lupita touched his arm; her eyes still closed. Shit! he did it, he really woke up her. I was beside myself. not sure what to do. Nick had a huge grin on his face looking satisfied with himself. "Told you, it will work." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
