Andrea's POV
I open my eyes, I feel the pain of my body. And I still feel like I'm drowning. I have oxygen pipes attached to me. I moved my hand held by my mom. Mama raised her head and smiled when she saw me.
"MA" I mentioned to her. Cassie and Kevin also woke up. They looked at me and approached.
"How are you sister?" Cassie asked me while holding my hand. I can't speak very well so I smiled a little .
"just take some rest sister" Cassie said and say goodbye. She has to do something in her school. My whole body is still weak. I do not move my body much and I still have difficulty breathing. It's been three days since I was in the hospital.
AS much as I know, I have some studies left in the states. I'm praying to get well very soon and back to the states. I will need my 4th year college there. Then, I will be ready to handle our company.
Mama bought coffee and food first. While I was waiting, someone entered the door. It walked towards me and I saw Sam's face. She's here? What is she doing here? After what she did to me?
She is on the side of my bed and he intends to remove my oxygen. "What are you doing?" I asked but it just stared at my oxygen. I was nervous about her actions, I did not have enough strength to fight her. I am still weak right now. I hope someone helped me. someone please save me. Sam slowly removed my oxygen pipes but someone opened the door and he immediately approached us and stopped Sam. Dreb was the one who thwarted Sam's plan.
"What are you doing Sam? Are you crazy already?" Dreb asked angrily as he held Sam's arm. Sam clung to the wall now and looked at Dreb.
"I want her to disappear from our lives Dreb. She needs to die" Sam laughed. Why do I have to lose? Why would anyone want me to disappear? what have I done to her?
"Stop that Sam" Sam was still leaning against the wall while Dreb spoke angrily to her.
Sam burst into tears, while Dreb was left here in my room. It looked at me and adjusted my oxygen pipes. "Are you okay?" I feel concern for his question. I burst into tears, I could not wipe it so Dreb wiped away my tears.
"I-I'm fi-fine" I said as I had difficulty speaking. "Just rest" he grinned before turning his back on me.I just looked at him as he walked away from me. I have to forget you Dreb. I know it hurts but I can handle it For my own good.
I turned my attention back to the hospital ceiling with water dripping down my forehead. It was raining outside and the ceiling in my room seemed to have a hole. "Dr-Dreb" I said softly and immediately turned my attention to it. It immediately came back to me. I pointed to the ceiling and waterdrops on my forehead.
"Okay, just wait here, I'll transfer you to another room" it came out immediately. I avoided the leak from the ceiling until a nurse came to my room. They moved me to another room, my room was a private room earlier but why is there a hole in the ceiling?
"Are you okay?" Dreb looked at me. I also stared at him, I remember everything we did together every time I saw him, and It was hurt.
"Thank you" I still have difficulty in speaking. I need to get back so I can return to the states.
"your welcome, and by the way I will deal with Sam later if I went home. I will report it to the police station. And also, I will resigned to your company. I will take all the responsibility that Sam caused to you" He was serious in a moment. He was looking at me while he wanted to hold my hand but he didn't do it. He attempted to reached my hand thrice but he can't do it.
I smiled as I slowly reached my hand to him and we held hands. It put a smile on our lips. "You don't have to do that. I will take care of it" I said but he disagree.
"I will, and please let me do it. Just this one. Just for you" time had stopped in that moment. The movement of the world stopped, I could feel our hearts beating. We become One again. I feel joy, sadness and hatred. But for now, I want to be with him first. Before I leave the Philippines .
"Dreb?" I was speaking but I can't said to him all I what to say. I asked his phone and type my message for him. "Just this day. Can you please stay with me? Before I leave the Philippines. Can you please stay here for a while?" It puts a wide smile in his face and sat besides my bed.
" You're leaving? "I just nodded and a tear fell out from his eyes.
" Pl-please don't cry, I might be sad to leave if you do that "I speak in difficulty.
" Okay. I will stay here for a bit"
We tell stories, and we couldn't ignore our past. And we tuckle about it.
"I'm sorry for choosing Sam over you" He said sadly and hold my hands.
I smiled before I speak "I'm fine, I mean look at me now. What ived become. You know what, the past can make a person even stronger. And it can make a person to be strong enough without having someone by their sides." I explained to him and I slowly take my hands off him.
"What's your biggest regrets in life?" I typed it in his phone because I can't speak anymore. My mouth hurts.
"Leaving you. Leaving you without saying goodbye formally. Leaving you without knowing your hurt too. Leaving you when your in pain. That's my biggest regret in life Andrea. If I could turn backed in time. I will choose you"
"you can't bring back the past to change it. If you change it, the future and present will be change too"
"I'm sorry Andrea."
"it's okay" we stopped talking when someone opened the door. It is mom. She looks angry to saw Dreb here in my room.
"what are you doing here Mr. Mendoza?" my mom asked him in a scary tone.
Dreb stand and faced my mom. "I'm here to visit Andrea mam, and she wants a companion so I'm here to stay for a while"
"I am now here so you can leave" Dreb looked at me and raised his eyebrows, signed if I agreed to my mom. I nodded and smiled. "thank you for being here" I said as he left the room.
Mom looks at me furiously, she was going to eat me alive. "what mom?" I hold my chin as I feel pain while talking.
"just don't talk" mom said and gasped.
I know she's just protecting me from him. She wants to protect me from the person who will hurt me.
"mom, Im okay and I'm leaving. I just need to get myself strong again to go back to states. I still have 2 years to study there."
"I know Andrea. So, you have to make sure you are not weak." teased by my mom as she touch my cheeck
2 days after....
The nurses have removed the oxygen pipe from me. I'm okay and I can be discharged. I will be able to return to the states and continue my studies.
I was discharge and went home straight. I'm packing my stuff and back to the states. I will miss them again. And I'm gonna live my life lonely again. I have to do this for the sake of my dad's company.
I'm done packing my stuff and I think about Dreb. Dreb helped Sam got get some psychological advice to Sam.
I texted Dreb"Im leaving, want to meet me before I leave? "I sent those messages." Sure"he replied with a smile emoji.
I said my goodbye to them and hugged them. "I will miss you guys" my eyes were in tears. I wiped them out and took my luggage.
I looked back again to them before getting inside the car. I texted Dreb the address and he said he is coming. I wait for him about 12 minutes and he's still not here. I'm gonna late for my flight. Where is this guy.?
I wait a little bit but he didn't showed up. I leave the area and go straight to the airport. I was running because I will be late on my plane.
"did I miss my flight?"
"no mam, your just in time" the stewardess told me and I entered my plane. I find my seat and turn off my phone.
I was sitting in the window area and I thought of Dreb. Why didn't he showed up? Where is he? What happened to you Dreb? 2 years before I can return to the philippines. Why didn't you showed up? I was waiting for you to come. Because that's our last time seeing each other again.
Goodbye Dreb, I slowly close my eyes and fell asleep.
Why Dreb didn't showed up to Andrea?
What really happened to him?
Is this the last time they would see each other?
Or this would be the begging of their relationship.?
What do you think?
