ROSS
Another shitty day. I hope my life ends that day. Why should I suffer every day I can't even put on my jeans by myself! Why did all this happen to me? I must die the day when I lost everything. I don't deserve to live another day. This is unfair.
The door opens by the maid and she says good morning Ross. He didn't reply, as always. Dana helps him to get out of bed and sat in the wheelchair. Ross took a bath with the help of Dana and he gets dressed to head to the university.
Ross is from a wealthy family. They have so much money and they have a lot of power in the country. That means that ross is a well-born child, after the death of his parents, he starts living with his grandparents, Louis and Maria, a lovely couple in a small town in southern California called Avalan
Today was a very hot day in Avalan. You can even boil an egg outside, Ross stop at the mall to buy a bottle of water and some drinks to refresh the lines were long as hell but for him it's not a big deal. He pushes his chair to the line, waiting as everybody. The old man saw him and gave him his place. Normally people like it when they don't have to wait, but not Ross. He feels the pity in the eyes of the old man gave him his turn. He becames very furious and he threw the water and the coke, almost hitting a girl.
why am I angry? What happened in there? The man was only trying to be nice to me. Why should I overreact like this? Yes I know I'm crippled now and should use this I didn't even get water, this weather is killing me! THE HEAT I CAN'T STAND FOR IT
Suddenly a girl walked out of the mall. She saw the time on her phone oh I am so late, and she started running to the cab waiting for her outside and she dropped her bottle of water next to Ross.
Hey girl, wait you drop your bottle, she is wearing headphones she looks like she is in a rush, but I really need this one.
Ross took the bottle and drank half of it. I was really thirsty. Thank you girl another
Waiting for his friend Din in front of the university gate because, since Ross lost his legs, half of his colleagues start picking on him and the rest of them treated him with sympathy, and he hates being in this position, meaning feeling sorry for him for the fact that he used to walk but not anymore forget to mention ross was an athlete, he uses to compete in international Olympic and he won the gold medal twice he was really fast but after his loss, he quite everything, his agency tried so many time to share his story to the public but he declined every time and he moved to Avlan far away from the spotlight where no one knows him expect his only friend Din who stuck beside him even this circumstances
I'll probably die waiting for you bro where have you been? its been almost an hour
such liar you just came. I was talking to Rita about the exam. She is very annoying and chatty.
stupid too .. asking you
Yes, imagine they started laughing. Let's go. We don't have so much time
Din raised his voice. Rita come on the exam will start soon. Hurry up
now you are the one who is calling her
Stop Dude, it's not my type at all.
Wait for me guys! I am gonna screw up on this for sure. Hey, Ross, how are you? I really envy you. I wish that I could be as smart as you are. I mean just a little bit. Could you brown me, chef?
She isn't only flabby, she is silly too.
She started making him face rude Ross so rude.
Din started laughing and he grabbed her face in front of his
Honey, listen. Concentrate on my eyes. Don't worry, you will fail. It's very obvious look at yourself. A failure
Stop bullying me, both of you
The three of them walk into the class and wait for the professor to arrive. Din was set in the middle between Rita and Ross
The class was very crowded and loud. Everyone is searching for a place to settle down. Everyone was yelling. Ross was waiting patiently for the professor. He hated being surrounded by many people like this. He wished that he could just not be there anymore. That he could just vanish into air,to despair. he has a feeling like everyone in the class is staring at him, which isn't true this feeling was only in his mind and he tried to hide. Rita noticed him and she asked him, Ross do you know how we calculated this mass? and she pointed with her finger at the paper that she was holding.
Ross responds with the voice you can barely hear yeeees
I can't hear man can you explain to me outside and she took him to the hallway where it was quiet. Ross began to respire again and took a deep breath. This time Rita was faking a phone call to give him more time alone. After five minutes, she came back. Sorry it was a very important call. I am all yours now.
Ross was very thankful but he didn't show it to her. He knew she was faking. He knew that she saw him and he didn't mind her help. He was desperate to get out of that crowded class and he started explaining to her until the professor came and they walked in again.
By the way, you're really an i***t. and he starts laughing
Din didn't mention a word, and the exam started. the exam paper was delivered by the professor. Everyone was staring at their exam. After half an hour, Ross was already done. He gave his paper and went out. Din and Rita struggled in class. The exam was so hard that even the professor was so supersized that Ross took only 30min to finish. He thought that he wasn't taking as seriously as he was supposed to do. He took a glimpse at his paper and he was fascinated by his work. He is a genius was said by the professor and he threw a small smile on his face.
Ross walks with his chair to the house. Usually, the roads take around 15 minutes, but not this time. After his panic attack, Ross decided to visit the beach. It was a long time since he saw it. Even if it's not that far, he changed the road.
All at once, a girl with long black hair and a beautiful smile was walking She didn't notice that Ross was in her way and she fell into his lab.
Did you miss directions? People usually walk forward
Sorry I didn't see you. I apologize
Are you blind?
No, I am not and I said I am sorry I didn't mean to the girl raised her voice
Okay get it, can you stand up now or do you need a drive
The girl stood quickly and she tried to clean the dust she made on his pants but Ross give her a cold eye and he went ... he was near the beach he stand in an empty spot he faces the water and stairs with his cold dead eyes like his soul lefts his body the ring of his phone wakes him up she was Maria
Where are you?
I am a grownup. I can go wherever I want.
I know my son, but I need you by my side now. Your grandfather fainted and we took him to the hospital
What why what happened?
I will send you the location on your phone and she starts crying.
Don't worry Maria, he is a tough man. He is gonna be alright. I am coming to you
After he got the location, he saw a cab. He got in it and gave him the address. When he found Maria crying in front of the room, he hugged her until she stopped crying. The doctor said that he needed an emergency operation and it's a very long and dangerous one. He might not survive.
The doctor from behind hears their conversation. Don't worry Madam, I did this kind of operation so many times besides your husband is a strong man as I see, we won't face any problems during the operation.
She heard her words and felt relief again. Ross turned on and saw the doctor
It's you
Yes, it's me. I'm sorry again.
No problem just take care of my grandfather and don't let him die. She needs him
I won't. I promise I will try my best. I see that your grandmother needs to rest and take her home. The operation will be tomorrow and this is my personal number. Take it with you and you can call me if you want to check on Louis.
Thank you so much I am sorry if I was rude to you. Let's go, Maria, you heard her. You need to rest and they went outside.
My name is Sarah, not her .
He didn't give her attention and hold his grandmother's hand. When they arrived at home, he gave her a tea to console her and she took a nap he went to his room and he called Dana for help. He changed his clothes and turned his laptop on to search for what kind of this operation. Then he freaks out and he calls Sarah. Is it true that he is gonna be alright?
Who are you?
Sorry. I am Ross Louis, my grandfather, your patient. Do you remember me?
So your name is Ross
Yes, I googled and what I found doesn't seem fine and essay as you describe it to me.
Quick reminder. It's 2 pm. Ross go to sleep and don't worry, I am good at surgery. And she hangs out
Ross couldn't sleep that night and he went to the hospital. He stayed there until the morning. Sarah saw him and brought him a cup of coffee. Take this. I know that you won't be able to sleep even if you act like you don't care.
He took the coffee, thank you for this and for the water too, and I am sorry for calling you late last night.
So you do remember she started laughing.
Yes, I am paralyzed, not blind.
Okay, it was me and you are welcome. The operation will start soon if you want to see him before he gets to the block.
Can you wait for Maria
She is already there. Are you coming?
No, I won't need to do something
As you like
Take care of him. I am begging you

Din and Rita went to the hospital. Why didn't you tell us about what happened to Louis?
Doctor . Can you tell us about the situation of uncle Louis Rita asked the doctor

Not yet Din not yet
You should eat something and take your pills. And right now, come with us.

Do you even know how to cook an egg?
Yes and better than you.
We will see the location of my car. I will drive there
No need it's just here.
Rita, do you know the doctor?
Yes. I do she is my father's doctor. my father is very ill and that is why I rent a house next to the hospital in case he needs something.
I didn't know that I am sorry
I know you don't, so what do you wanna eat? I don't have so much stuff in the kitchen but...
Din shuts her by putting his finger into her mouth, then she bites him.
Angry cat... I will cook I am the oldest of my brothers, so I am a good cooker
Okay, show us your skills and hurry up. We need to get back to the hospital.
I am going to the bathroom
First turn on the left.
Din went to the kitchen. He started searching for a pan and he began cooking with patience. Rita couldn't take her eyes off him. He tasted the food. Rita got close to him and she looked at him with her sparkling eyes without saying a word. Din was so confused and she got even closer and wiped the stain on his upper lips with the back of her hand and she said, Are you a baby? and he dropped the juice on the rug.
I am sorry I am sorry
You can't do anything right
What happens here?
Nothing, it is just Din. He can't hold a cup. I think the food is done
Yes, yes, I am done.
They sat at the table and they started to eat and tried to cheer up Ross. It's time I should go to the hospital
I am coming with you Din nod
So do I, but you can go first. I need to pack some clean clothes for my father and clean the mess that Din made.

What are you asking me if you could help Din are you okay?
