UNTIL WE MET ( Pain Was My Companion).

DOCTOR ROBERT (1).

DOCTOR ROBERT (1).

I stood there dazed, my clothes

pooled at my feet. I gave a sad little smile as I let it sink into me what type of people I had as a family and how right the nice doctor was the day before.

' I guess I should have listened to him and not come' I thought sadly.

I stood there for several hours until it started drizzling and not because I was expecting or wishing for the door to open and my mum to welcome me into her open arms or maybe deep down, I do wish that but the reality was, I wanted this betrayal and abandoning to sink in.

' It was time I moved on and forgot them like they have now' I thought and somehow wished the door would fly open and Mum or Cruella would at least tell me to get in since it was beginning to rain but who was I kidding?

They did not care.

I made my way out of the estate in the rain while also trying not to break down into tears again. I was starting to annoy myself.

' Why do I cry at every little thing?' I wondered.

" I guess that is why you are so easy to pick on Cry baby" My subconscious mocked but I just ignored it, though she was telling the truth.

I walked and did not bother taking a taxi for two reasons which are, One. It was not needed because our community was a very small town and the hospital was not far from my ex-residence.

Two I wanted to wash away my tears with the rain. I wanted the rain to cry with me and try to heal me of this pain.

As much as I never wanted to shed tears over them again, I just find myself doing so. It's just like I still couldn't believe my own blood family would do this to me.

I guessed they never liked me, I was okay with not being treated as equally as my sister but all that didn't matter as long as they could just throw me a glance every day.

I did everything to gain their approval forfeiting my dreams of becoming a Historian, exploring the world, forfeiting the chance to ever get married and have children, all because I wanted them to acknowledge I did the right thing even if it was just once in my life.

'I always fooled myself I was going through with the process of becoming a num because I wanted to serve Jesus as his bride and become closer to him.' I chuckled at my funny thought.

That was just an excuse. I did that to gain my parents' approval which did not last long.

' Does anything ever last long or go well with me ' I wondered sadly and kept on walking, allowing the rain to fully soak me.

I was drained from up to down, From my hair to my clothes, I was crying bitterly but it could not be noticed for the rain had blended in with my tears already.

' How pathetic I must look right now!' I thought and finally got to the entrance of the hospital. It was late evening now I guess or maybe it just looked this way because of the clouds.

I made my way into the hospital with the guard's mouth agape and his eyes almost popping out of their sockets in shock at seeing me so drained.

Almost Everyone's expression was like that as I walked in but I did not care for that was the last thing on my mind. I made my way into my ward without greeting any of the nurses or even patients and that is so unlike me since I am the greeting type.

I got into my room walked slowly into my not-too-small bathroom and gazed at my pathetic-looking pitiful self in the mirror stationed on the wall.

My dark long hair was now soaking wet and looked extremely tangled and sloppy. My eyes were as red as a tomato. I guess I cried my eyes out. My face looked so pale and white.

I resembled a wet Ghost at this moment. Breeze blew in from the open window towards my body and I shivered as the coldness hit me at full degree.

" You need to get changed" My subconscious whispered and I could not agree more.

I hastily dashed towards the tiny wardrobe on the wall in my room grabbed a gown with a Clean set of undies and made my way back into the bathroom.

I decided to brush my teeth first after hanging my clothes and after Cleaning my mouth, took off my wet clothes and got into the heated shower.

I relaxed and made sure I enjoyed my bath. I patiently took my time to scrub off my body believing I was scrubbing off every memory of them.

I felt the urge to shed tears again and felt disgusted.

' This was never going to happen again' I thought with determination as I remembered the Nice Doctor's exact words the day before.

" Do not cry for they are not worth your tears". He was right. I wished I had listened when he tried to warn me.

" How could your stubborn ass do so?" My subconscious whispered and I grinned.

After taking almost an hour in the shower and enjoying my bath, I came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body and placed my clean clothes and undies on the bed. I had another towel wrapped around my head to dry my hair off.

I got dressed and took time to blow dry my hair.

' Wish there was a hair dryer nearby' I thought as I toweled my hair dry. After like 5 minutes, I felt my arms stinging and decided to just get another Clean set of towels to wrap around my head till it dried since this was already soiled.

I made my way into the bathroom to get another but saw nothing. I decided to call for a nurse to please get me one and I did.

Soon, a young-looking pretty Nurse entered my ward with a smile.

" How may I help you?" She asked.

" I need another set of Clean towels please" I replied with a smile and she nodded and made a move to leave the room when I called her back.

" Can you please help me get the nice doctor?" I asked.

" The nice doctor?" She called with confusion and I remembered that was not his name but a nickname I just gave him.

' How will I describe him to her ?' I wondered, then remembered I saw his name on the badge attached to his white coat.

" Sorry," I apologized and she nodded with a smile accepting my apologies I guess.

" I meant Doctor Robert" I added and she muttered an " Oh" with a smile before leaving my room to comply with my requests.

A few minutes later, I heard a knock on my door.

" Come in," I said with a smile knowing it was Dr. Robert.

My door was opened but instead of my familiar nice doctor, I saw an older man walk in and the smile on my face instantly transformed into a frown.

" Who are you please?" I asked and he threw me a look of confusion.

" Quite rude young lady since you asked for my presence," He said and I threw him a look " Are you okay sir?" While wondering when I ever requested his presence.

Just then, My eyes drifted to his badge and it was exactly like Doctor Robert's own. But that was not the shocking part.

It also had the same name.

" Doctor Robert". I widened my eyes at the realization.

" What is going on?"
