Shiela POV
Im Shiela De Villa, and i have a rare disease called CCHS. Which means if i sleep, i could possibly die.
Well, that's how life goes.
Im just always at home, watching TV, eating and monitoring my heart rate.
I could sleep, but only for 2 hours. 2 hours sleep with my heart monitor. Funny.
"Shiella? My Daughter?" Well, that's my mom's voice. The next thing she'll do is to knock at my door.
"Come in Mom" I said.
And then she open the door
"Happy birthday my baby!" Mom said
"Im not a baby anymore mom, im 17 already." I sarcastically said
"No matter how old you are, you will always be my baby" Mom said, again. I smile at her to show her that im happy and ok.
"Mom, if i turn 18, what do you think will happen?" I said to Mom, her eye's widened.
"Don't think like that, your gonna be fine. Let's go downstairs, your dad is waiting for you" She said.
I just smiled at her and she go out in my room.
Im up for a shower.
A few minutes later, and im done.
I just applied a light make up and after that, i go downstairs, with my beautiful cocktail dress.
"You're stunning Shiela" My Dad said
And when im already down, i loose my balance, damn this heels.
"Hahahaha!"
"You're still clumsy Shiela! Hahaha"
"Stop laughing, it's not funny" I said to them and go to the living room.
Ugh, im so tired, im sleepy.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you" They sing together.
"Here's my gift for you sweetheart" Dad said and he gave me a peck of kiss in the forehead.
"Thanks dad" I said. I really appreciate what my family's doing to me.
"Tommorow we will be visiting your doctor to consult with your disease, ok?" Dad reminds again. He's always reminding me about that consultation thing.
"Yes Dad" I answered while nodding.
After that talk, we eat.
I can't help but to smile. The food is really great.
I wish to be a chef someday. Just like my Mom.
Mom's really wanted to create and invent some food. But it's always ending up good.
"This is my fight song! Take back my life song! Prove im alright song!" Well, that's my cousin Isabella singing her favorite song in the videooke.
I go upstairs to lessen the noise and lock my bedroom door.
"Day 6,205 and im alive! Thank you god! And guess what guys, im seventeen already! Guys, what will happen kaya if magturn na ko sa 18?" I said to my camera and shut it down.
Everyday, im filming para if ever mawala ako, ibibigay ko sakanila yan. Update yan sa araw araw na nangyayari sa buhay ko.
A few hours later, and it's already midnight, their asleep. While im still awake.
I decided to go out and go to the market, im craving for icecream.
I just walk, and walk, and walk until i made it.
Pumasok na ko sa market to buy ice cream but...
"Hulihin sya!"
"Thief!"
Sabi ng mga police habang tinuturo ang lalaking palapit sakin, what should i do? What should i do!?
The guy collide with me, and my heart jump so fast.
I immediately run to my home. I don't know but my tears is falling.
I just, my heart was jumping so fast, i cant breath!
I run upstairs and knock at my parents bedroom.
"Ma-mom!" I shouted in fear.
"What happened sweetie!?" She asked nervously. I know that she's worried.
"I-i ce-cant breath, i-i need e-air" Im just forcing myself to speak.
"Robert hurry up! Get the nebulizer!"
"Ma-Mom please hurry" I said while crying, i really can't breath.
"Ok, ok! Do this! Inhale, exhale, inhale exhale"
"Ahhh, huuu, ahhh, huuu... Mom i-i can't, i-i can't" And tears starting to escape to my eyes again. I need air.
"Nakuha ko na Sincha!" Dad shouted.
"Hurry!" Mom shouted again.
Thanks god at nahanap na ang nebulizer.
I thought mauubusan na ko ng hininga.
Pinausukan na nga nila ko, and minomonitor na nila ang heart ko.
"What happened Shiela?" Mom ask
I can't speak. Hindi ako makapagsalita.
"Shiela, anak, anong nangyari?" Dad ask
Di pa rin ako nagsalita, tinignan kl ang relo ko and its 2 am na.
Pumasok na ko sa kwarto ko, at sinet ko na ang alarm clock at saka kinabit ang monitor sa kamay ko, saka natulog.
Katik ko ng ikamatay ang nangyari. Until now, my heart is shaking, pati na rin ang kamay ko.
