CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW(POV)
"What are we going to do? She's going to die if this continues" Woman crying
"But we can't do anything... She is getting weaker every day "
I am hearing a man and a woman's voice, But I can't see them,
Where am I?
"We have to let her go,"
"NO! I ca-can't lose her, I can't let go of her,"
"But she's suffering, she's just a child, we have to let her go, she has to rest now honey,"
"NO!!! * Woman crying*"
"Mom?"
"Sweetie? what are you doing here?"
"Mom *sob* I want her to live, my decision is final Mom..... Just please- please tell my sister- sister that even if I am gone-gone, I am always going to be-be with her- her" the echo of her voice while crying is like the voice of the little girl inside my head, Where are you?!! I want to see you!!
WHO ARE YOU?!!!!

I slowly opened my eyes, the only thing that I can see is light and the only thing that I can hear is the beeping sound beside me,
"We-Where am I?"
"Bessy!! *sob*" It's Hailey's voice, she's crying,
I looked at Hailey with my head slowly turning to the side, I can see Hailey wiping her face because of the tears,
"Be-Bessy? Where a-am I?" I looked around, it looks like I'm inside a room,
"You are at the hospital,"
"Hospital? "
That's right, the old man tried to stab Artreus
"Bessy, are you feeling okay?"
"Ye-Yeah a little," I tried to sit but it was like my body won't let me,
"You should try to rest more Bessy," I looked at Hailey, her eyes are puffy and she's wearing her uniform,
"You're back,"
"Yeah, I was the one who called the ambulance, I came back just yesterday night but you are not in the apartment as well as Calixta so I called Aldrin to ask where you are, he told me that you got a job at the convenience store just nearby the University so I decided to visit you there but...."
"But?"
"I saw you..... lying on the floor, bleeding a lot, I got scared, "
I remembered what happened last night, I thought for a second that it was all just a dream,
"CALESIE!!!" It's Asha's voice, I looked beside me because that's where the door is, I tried to smile at Asha because she was crying,
"Hello, Asha,"
"CALESIE!!!!" Asha called while running towards me then hugged me tightly, Her hug hurt me a little but I'm so happy that she's alright,
"Calesie how are you feeling?" Jairo asked he's holding a basket containing a different kind of fruits,
"I am fine,"
"Calesie?" It's Calixta's voice
"Calixta, Are you alright?" I don't know if it's because of my question but Calixta is now crying while looking down, still standing at the door not coming inside,
"You are the one who's confined in the hospital and yet you still ask us if we're fine, of course, we are, it's because you protected us, don't do that again, I don't want to lose a friend,"
I am touched
"Come here," After I said that Calixta runs to hug me both Asha and Calixta are hugging me right now while I am still lying in the hospital bed, their hugs are warm,
"*cough* Excuse me," It's the doctor, Wait... What's that weird necklace around his neck? because the doctor came, Asha and Calixta let go of the hug,
"Good morning Doc, How is she?" Hailey asked
"Her vitals are normal. Heart tones are also normal, the stab is far away from your vital spot, your exam today did not show injury to any deep organs or tissues. But a deep injury may not always be found during the first exam. so we will have to do another exam for your body, okay?" I nodded as the answer to the Doctor's question,
"We'll visit you again later to perform the second exam," the doctor said then he left,
"You heard the doctor, your not perfectly fine so you have to take plenty of rest," Hailey reminded
"Hmm..." I agreed,
Jairo approached me then said,
"Sorry Calesie but we have to leave now, We will visit you tomorrow, The convenience store is closed we have to open it,"
"It's okay, there must be a lot of customer waiting for the store to open,"
"Yeah, look Calesie, I wanted to say sorry for what happened to you, this is all because we hired you," Jairo apologized,
"What? No, it's not because of that, you shouldn't apologize because you gave me a job,"
"But Calesie it's because of that job that you are in the hospital," Asha said
"It's not because of my job, it's because of the drunk old man,"
"Still we are sorry," Jairo apologized again,
"No need to apologize, I'm fine,"
"Ah..... we will visit you tomorrow again, for now, we are going to leave, get well soon," I smiled because of what Jairo said,
"Goodbye Calesie see you," Asha said, Asha held her brother's hand while waving at me so I waved back,
But then.....
"Goodbye-bye *Voice echoed*" her voice again,
"Bessy? Bessy!!"
"Wha-What?"
"I said we have to leave too since we have a class for today, we are going back to the university" Hailey said
"Ye-Yeah, don't worry about me,"
"Take a rest okay? Since you are going to be absent, We are going to tell the professor that you're confined here at the hospital,"
"What?! DON'T!!! Don't tell him"
"What? Why? the professor has to know the reason why you're absent,"
"If the professor finds out about this, he'll know that I run away from the university every night"
"Then what am I going to tell him? for sure he will ask me why you're absent,"
"Tell them that I am sick or something," I know it's bad to lie but I can't afford to lose my job,
"Bessy maybe you should just find another job, find a job that you don't have to run away every night,"
"I can't,"
"Why?"
"Because I like that job," the truth is, I promise Asha that she's not going to be alone anymore, A broken promise can never be glued back together, I don't know where I learned that but it helps me be motivated to keep my promise,
"But Bessy your job is worse than being a police officer or even a detective, You were almost killed by some drunk old man,"
"But still I am having fun working there,"
"Having fun? Having fun of what? getting stabbed?"
"Bessy, stop worrying too much, it's not like I'm always going to be stab by someone whenever I work,"
"If you insist, Just be careful next time, I don't want you to get hurt"
"Hm..." I agreed while smiling at Hailey,
"Your grandma? How is she?" I asked
"She is fine now, Don't worry about someone else and worry about yourself Bessy, we are going now it's almost 7:00,"
"Take care,"
"We are going now Calesie," Calixta said,
Hailey and Calixta left, I'm alone here again, I looked at the white ceiling while thinking about my dream earlier, I remembered the man and the woman's voice inside my head earlier,
They sound so real as if I heard their conversation in real life,

*HOURS LATER*
4:37 Pm
I'm getting bored
SO SO SO SO BORED!!!
I got up because my back is hurting, I think it's because of too much lying down, I wanted to leave but why does my body feel numb, I sat, then think of how I can leave, I looked at my feet then tried to waggle it, but I feel numb on my feet part, why? I was about to stand up
but.....
someone entered the room,
"Hey," He greeted
"Uhhh.... Hi?"
"Where are you going? The doctor said that you should rest" He said then come towards me,
"Uhhh..... I was just...." I didn't get to finish what I'm trying to say because he offered his hand,
"Uhhh...." I said looking at his hand,
"Can I come with you?"
"Uhh..... Yeah... sure..... hehe" I tried to stand up but I can't feel my feet,
"Let me help you," He said then helped me stand up,
"Tha-Thank you so much... but aren't you annoyed that I'm touching you?"
"I don't care if you touch me anymore, It's okay for me," He said then smiled at me, Artreus held my arm then wrapped it around his shoulder, I was looking at my feet because I'm trying to move it, Why is it numb?
"Why? does it hurt?" Artreus asked I looked at him because of his question, But I froze because
