Preston gave me a lift and dropped me at my apartment but before that we went to the hospital, my house key and other stuffs were there. My things were taken to the lost and found, because no one came to claim them. It took a while looking for my stuff, the room of lost and found was filled up with lots of stuffs. We found my bag and my clothes, it took till noon. We left the house around to 12, after finding my stuff, Preston took us to eat before heading home.
"Before you go, can I have your number" he asked. "What for?" I asked while holding my phone, wouldn't it be weird having your juniors contact. "If you don't want to, it's fine" he said about to turn the key. "Here's the phone" I said giving him my phone. I hope he didn't feel offended?, I thought. When he dialed in his number, I took my phone and step out of the car. I called him so he could also save mine as well. "Thank you", I said. "Your welcome", he smiled. I smiled back, then shut the car door. I walked to the door and brought out the key, opened the door and walked in.
For two years I struggled with house rent, school fees, food and clothing, the Lord is truely amazing. He sent someone to me, to ease my suffering. I fell to the bed, releasing a big sigh
*
A few years had passed since that incident. I had fully recovered,I was able to get admission into the university of Camry, the acceptance rate of this school was really high. Not just anyone can get in, well except the rich. But I got in,so many sleepless nights and wild migraines. I had already paid my tuition fee, and class starts on monday. I had a lot to prepare for, I arranged the books I needed in my bag and pressed my clothes for Monday. My apartment is a bit far from the school, so I decided I'll ride my bike. Then it hit me, if school had extra hours of lesson, how will I be to cope with work?....'Well...time shall tell', I thought as I arranged my freshly pressed clothes in the drawer and headed off to work. I reached my work earlier than usual today.
I was greeted by the cold air and slow music, I was out in the sun so stepping in really cooled my temperature. They were few customers sitted, I walked further in. Mr M just stepped out of his office,"Audrey your here early" he said. "Yes sir. I have nothing doing, I thought to lend a hand", i replied. "Alright then. You can help brew coffee for the lady that just walked in", he said using his file to gesture to a light skinned brunette in a red attire that walked in. "Sure", I said walking to get a teacup from side counter and headed to the coffee machine.
Dean was here to, I feel he's always everywhere I go. "Your here, why's that?", he asked stopping what he was doing and placing his hands on his waist. "I had nothing doing, your her as well. Why thou?" I asked. "I was less busy", he answered turning back to cleaning the counter. "So why are you pestering me?", I asked trying to raise an eye brow up,but I couldn't. "nothing, just find annoying you pleasing", he smirked. I just let out a deep sigh, I didn't know what to reply him with. "Don't keep the pretty lady waiting" he said using his head to gesture over to where she sat. I looked at her, as he elegantly sat, her legs crossed. What's so pretty about her, I scoffed. "I'm done already", I said walking over to hand the coffee. "Ma'am. your coffee" I said with a smile. "Thank you" she replied. "Sure thing" I said looking at the lady properly, I won't deny she's pretty. Her long black lashes, with her eye lids painted light brown. Her lips painted burgundy and her cheek light pink. She had this natural tan skinned, and a slender body. I was to busy analyzing her I didn't know when Kylie walked in, "hey Kylie. It's been a while", Dean said. He was right, we hardly saw Kylie around like we used to.
"What's up?" I asked, she looked really disturbed. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. She looked as thou all the life had been sucked out her body. She looked up at me,then fell on her knees. A loud cry came out, she cried bitterly. People around looked really worried, I quickly rushed up to her. I squatted to her level,"what happened? Speak to me".
"Ma-m-y-y d-d-ad", she stuttered. "What happened to him?",Dean asked squatting beside me. "H-h-he is in a coma" she cried badly. Natasha walked through the door, "what happened?!", she asked worried. We were kneeling a few steps away from the entrance. I was still trying to process the news," her dad is in a coma". "How did it happen?", Mr M asked, I looked at him , then back to Kylie.
"He was in a car accident", she said in-between sobs. "For weeks he fought for his life in the hospital bed. He went into coma" she said crying. I stood up, Natasha knelt beside her and tried consoling her. The information made my head spin, car accident. For 10 years I battled with the shock, the memories. Still haven't gotten over my fear of getting into a car, seeing Kylie crying reminded me of my sleepless night crying for the loss of my parents. I felt a stabbing pain at my chest, and a terrible headache. I couldn't breathe, I used my left hand to support my head and the other my chest. "Dad?", i called losing my balance, but still stood. My vision became blur, my body felt so heavy. "Audrey", I heard my name being called. I turned to see Dean walking to me, he was saying something but I couldn't hear it. I closed my eyes falling backwards, but someone caught me. I slowly opened my eyes to see Dean, he looked really worried. I wanted to tell him I was alright, but everywhere suddenly went dark.
