CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW ( POV )
"How are you feeling dear?" Mrs. Lauren asked, I still don't know why she's here and how she knows, on the other hand, I also don't know if Artreus is back to his normal self
"I'm feeling okay Mrs. Lauren," I answered
"I brought you some food, I know you feel weak since you just woke up, Hope you like this, I cooked it myself just for you,"
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Lauren," I tried to sit down to pay her some respect because she visited me but.....
"Calesie you shouldn't sit, you should still rest," Artreus said, I'm still weak
*CRIIIING! CRIIIIING!* (PHONE RANG)
The rang came from Mrs. Lauren's pocket, Mrs. Lauren took out her cellphone from her pocket, after she saw the caller she turned her cellphone off, put the cellphone back inside her pocket then smiled at me,
"I'm going to leave now, I just passed by to check if you're okay, get well soon Calesie," Mrs. Lauren look so sad,
"Thank you so much for visiting me, Mrs. Lauren," Mrs. Lauren just smiled at us then left the room, leaving Artreus and me inside, I'm still confused, I don't know how Mrs. Lauren knew that I'm inside the hospital, If she knows then does that mean the dean knows it too?
"How are you feeling?" Artreus looked so tired, Wait, he's wearing the same clothes,
"Calesie? How are you feeling?"
"A-ah I feel fine," does that mean he didn't go back to the university and slept here
Is he Artreus now?
"Can I ask how Mrs. Lauren knows I'm here? Does that mean the dean knows too?"
"You see Calesie, You survive because of Mrs. Lauren, She offered her blood for you because your blood type matched,"
"Really?! if that's what happened then I have to thank her," I was about to sit down again, she's so kind to do that for me, I have to thank her,
"Calesie, you're still weak, you can thank her when your discharge here,"
*Knock* Knock*
"Bessy I'm back!" Hailey went inside then closed the door carrying something, When she turned her head around to face me, she looked like she has seen a ghost,
"He-Hello?," Artreus greeted her, They met? When?
"H-Hi," Why do they look so awkward with each other?
"You two met?" I curiously asked,
"Yeah, We met at the convenience store when you were stabbed, remember, I told you that I was the one who called the ambulance, he was the one who ordered me to do that,"
"Ye-Yeah,"
If Artreus remembered what happened that night, does that mean he's Artreus now? and not Actreus?
"I'm just going to leave for a little bit," Artreus said while smiling so we smiled back then he left the room,
Hailey sat by my side, Why does she look like she's in panic?
"Bessy, I thought you're going to visit me yesterday afternoon?"
"Well, that's what I am going to tell you, Bessy, You see, The professor announced that we have a musical project again, this time it's about dancing, Aldrin is my partner...."
"Don't tell me....." No, I hope what I thought is wrong
"Yes, what you thought is right, I'm sorry bessy, I didn't mean to tell him, my mouth slipped,"
"He knows?" I asked to make sure I'm right When Hailey continuously nod her head I felt worried, Aldrin was the one who found the convenience store for my job, If he knows that I was stabbed there, Is he going to blame himself?
"He told me he's going to visit you after class, I'm sorry bessy,"
"It's okay,"
"I'm sorry Bessy," I looked at Hailey then smiled, I touched her hand that's on the side of the bed then said,
"He's going to find this out anyway," Hailey smiled because of what I said,
"By the way, I brought you something to compensate, Tada!!" Hailey showed me a paper bag with fruits,
"Thank you,"
"Hehe, I'm going to put this on the table," Hailey stood up then went to where the table is,
Because Hailey didn't go to the hospital yesterday afternoon, I am sure that she doesn't know what happened to me yesterday,
"Did he brought you this porridge, Bessy?"
"What?"
"A porridge is sealed inside this plastic bag, did that guy brought you this?" Guy? Did she mean Artreus?
"Ye-Yeah," I lied, it's the plastic bag that Mrs. Lauren brought, I can't tell Hailey that it was from Mrs. Lauren, she's just going to ask a lot of questions then she will for sure find out what happened yesterday
"Then you should eat this it's getting cold," Hailey took out the porridge from the plastic bag, the food was storage from a small container with a spoon, How thoughtful of Mrs. Lauren to cook me something like that,
After Hailey prepared the porridge she went to me then took out the small bed table then put the porridge and the water there,
"Eat a lot okay? you will need the strength so that you can finally be discharged here,"
"Thank you, Bessy,"
"Anything for you Bessy, now, I will peel the apples, good thing I bought fruits for you because it'll serve as a dessert after you eat the porridge," Hailey sat down on the chair again beside me then she started peeling the apples, she looks like she's enjoying it, but....
If she's here...
"Aren't you going to class today?" After I ask that question to Hailey she suddenly stopped peeling the apples, she looks so sad now, What's wrong?
"N-No," she started peeling the apples again,
"What? but why?" Hailey looked at me then smiled,
"It's not fun when you're not around bessy," something is off,
"Did something happened at school?"
"No, nothing happened," I hope Hailey's telling me the truth,
"Eat the porridge it's getting cold,"
"Hmm," I agreed, I took the spoon then scoop some from the bowl with porridge,
I ate the porridge but after I taste it....
I froze
"Thank you-you mommy-mommy," It's the girls voice again,
"What's wrong?" Hailey asked,
"I-I....." I don't know what to say, Mrs. Lauren, cooked it but, I felt like....
"Let me taste it," Hailey took the spoon then taste the porridge too,
"It's fine by me, it's delicious too, I wonder where Artreus get this, it's delicious," It's not from Artreus it's from Mrs. Lauren,
When I tasted the porridge, a memory appeared inside my head, a short flash of a memory that confused me, this taste, it's not just an ordinary porridge, I felt like I tasted this when...
