Lucien
"Are you tired?" I sighed. Vale did not answer my question. I guess silence means yes, right? I guess he's getting tired of guiding and being with me all the time.
"I'm not, how many times do I have to tell you that?" I am actually not sure if he's telling the truth but I am hoping that he's not lying.
"Thank you." I said as he guided me on the way to the stage of the MCA or the Medeor City Arena. This Arena is kind of big, they said. It's sad, knowing that I cannot even see the audiences' reaction whenever I perform.
"Please welcome our very own Lucien Torez!" The host said. I don't know why I'm nervous though. I can hear the audiences' cheers and claps.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here." Knowing Vale, he's saying those words to calm me down. I'm more than thankful that he is still with me. He's been with me for two years already.
"How can you miss someone you've never met? 'Cause I need you now but I don't know you yet. But can you find me soon because I'm in my head? Yeah, I need you now but I don't know you yet."
I honestly hate this song. I don't know why but everytime I sing this song, I can't explain how I feel. It's a combination of being scared, sad, and anxious.
"'Cause lately it's been hard. They're sellin' me for parts. And I don't wanna be modern art,
but I only got half a heart to give to you.
It's actually weird but I really feel this song. It's like I am certainly missing someone who I haven't met yet.
"How can you miss someone you've never seen? Oh, tell me are your eyes brown, blue, or green? And do you like it with sugar and cream? Or do you take it straight, oh, just like me?"
I don't understand why but these past few days, I find myself a bit strange. Vale said that last night, I was sleep talking and the next thing he said terrified me. He saw and heard me cry.
"Yeah, lately it's been hard. They're sellin' me for parts. And I don't wanna be modern art.
But I only got half a heart to give to you and I hope it's enough."
But, why did I cry? I don't seem to find any reasons though. As the song is about to end, a tear escaped my eye.
"How can you miss someone you've never met?"
I heard an extremely loud cheer from the audience. I felt relieved. I really do hope that they enjoyed my performance.
"You did great, Lucien." Vale told me as he held my hand and guided me off the stage. I am so lucky to have him, he's very supportive since day one.
"Thank you." I chuckled. After that performance, we're on our way to the Amare Medical Institution since I have a therapy session with Dr. Dalton Enriquez.
"Are we there yet?" I asked. Vale said that the hospital is two hours away from the arena and it is located outside the Medeor City.
"We're almost there, so be ready." He said. His statement made me anxious. Everytime I'm going to that place, something unusual happens.
"O-okay." I said with a trembling voice.
As Vale opened the door of our van, he held my hand and guided me down the vehicle.
"We're here." I heard a lot of loud whispers. I can't tell whose whisper were those, of course. How would I know?
"She's here again."
"Who?"
"Lucien Torez"
"The singer?"
"Yeah, she's lucky. "
"Why?"
"You haven't heard yet?"
"Nope."
"She's a—"
"You're just on time." Dr. Enriquez chuckled. I don't find anything funny, to be honest. Today is our 24th session for my therapy.
"So, how are you?" Asked by Dr. Enriquez. I honestly don't have any idea. I feel empty.
"I don't know. I'm okay and not okay at the same time." I sighed. Can it be possible to feel two opposite moods at the same time?
"Do you still experience extreme headaches?" I tried to recall what I felt these past few days.
"Yeah, it's getting worse." I said. Maybe my head hurts a lot because I cry whenever I sleep.
"Are you drinking your medications on time, Ms. Torez?" I nodded, of course I drink my meds on time. I don't want Vale to be mad at me.
He still then asked a lot of questions that were related with our therapy session. Primal therapy is hard of course. I have to go under the same traumatic circumstances that I went through before.
"Can I have a favor, Ms. Torez?" Here we go again. What kind of favor will it be this time?
"Yeah, I guess so." I chuckled.
"Can you please sign this for my little brother." Vale handed me something. As I was able to touch it, I guess it's one of my albums.
"Sure." I said with a smile. Vale handed me my pen for me to sign it right away.
"Thank you, Ms. Torez. My brother is a really big fan of yours." I chuckled as I heard what he said. Why would a boy be a fan of my music? funny.
"No worries, Doc." I said. I wonder what time it is already.
As Vale guided me through out the door, I felt something strange. It's like I'm being forced to go somewhere I don't know.
My head is starting to ache. I can feel it, it's getting worse.
"A-aghh" I groaned as I felt the pain getting worse.
My feet automatically walked rapidly. I'm out of control. It's like I'm drowning and I can't really breathe.
"Arrrgh" A man said. I fell down the floor as I bumped into him. My head hurts. His wheelchair hit my knees and it really hurts. Where the fuck is Vale?
"I-I'm sorry." I said as I tried to stand up. I accidentally touched his legs and he screamed.
"W-what the h-heck?" The man said and I can tell that he sounded surprised or something.
"I am terribly sorry." I repeated.
"What happened here?" Now, Vale is here. Where have he been? I caused a lot of trouble tonight.
"I c-can walk now!" The man screamed. I heard a lot of loud whispers once again.
"I told you."
"She's one of them."
"I can't believe it."
"Where have you been?" Vale asked angrily. I should be the one asking him that though.
"I said wait for me yet you still went somewhere." I did not hear him plus I didn't mean to. I swear, why would he sound this angry.
"Why are you mad?" I asked.
"I'm worried, okay? I don't want you to be in that situation again." I don't understand. What does he mean with his last statement?
"What situation?" My curiosity kicked in.
"Nothing, let's go home." He said nonchalantly.
