Desperately into you

CHAPTER 55

“See? I can drive, you know,” I gave Shawn a smug look and smirk.

Shawn just slightly rubbed his nape and nodded at me hesitantly.

“Oh? Why you’re not smiling at me now?” I teased and raised my brows at him, I shook my head and let out a weak laugh, this guy was always all smile but right now there’s no trace of it on his face. He must be really nervous and doesn’t trust me maneuvering my car, that is why I can’t wait to turn eighteen so I’ll be ruling my own.

“Uhm, smile?” He shyly asked and then again, his ears reddened.

I smirk and arched my brows at him.

“Yeah? anyway never mind,”

“Uhmm, do you have a boyfriend already, young lady?” He asked shyly as he rub his nape once again.

“Boyfriend? Why? Why do you ask?” I responded indolently

“Nothing really, I just want to---”

“Oh, I don’t have one, but wait ‘till I turn eighteen, I’ll court him,” I said languidly.

I almost burst out laughing when I saw how priceless his expression was, his eyes widens as he looked at me with his mouth gaping.

“Are you serious, young lady?’’ He was looking at me in disbelief.

I proudly nodded at him and chuckled.

“You like someone? He must be very lucky,” He stated as he forced a weak smile. I shrugged and focus on driving, Yeah, Viel must be very lucky because he caught my attention without him knowing it.

“Uh-huh,” I simply answered and nodded.

“Let me guess that,” Shawn grinned at me, oh, he’s being nosy now.

“Is that Simon?” He asked suspiciously.

My forehead creased while glancing at him, what makes him think I like Simon anyway?

“Simon Johnson?” I asked

Shawn smiled weakly and nodded at me, and by just looking at his expression, I see that he assumed that It was Simon I liked.

“Yes, young lady,” He nodded at me.

“Hm, nope, he’s a friend,” I stated lazily.

“Oh,” He nodded.

“Yeah, I like someone else,” I mumbled and the image of Viel pops into my head.

“Oh, maybe it’s me you’re referring young lady,” Shawn said jokingly and I just shook my head at him, what a ball, I slow down when there are three cars in front of us, I glance at Shawn and I saw him staring at the fancy restaurant as we pass by.

“That girl is somewhat familiar,” He mumbled as he sit up straight and looked in front,

I speed up and glance at him.

“What?’’ I frowned at him.

He paused and looked at me, then his face lightens as if he already remembered what he just can’t figure out a while ago.

“I Bella young lady!” He informed me as he smiled at me.

“What? Bella Martinez?’’ I asked with a crumpled face, just hearing that name makes me want to roll my eyes.

“Yes, young lady” He nodded.

“So? What’s with her?’’ I asked uninterestedly.

I don’t care about her anyway, we’re not close and that girl likes Viel, her friends are annoying creatures too so basically we won’t get along.

Shawn shyly smile and shook his head.

“Nothing young lady, aren’t you two friends?” He asked.

“Excuse me? Hell no.” I burst. Shawn was suddenly surprised by my reaction, I don’t want to be her friend, I’m certain that she doesn’t want it too, so the feeling is mutual.

“Oh, sorry for that,” Shawn muttered.

Suddenly, my phone beeped I was about to just ignore it because I thought it was just Crisha but then I remember that I texted Viel… A wide smile formed on my lips and I know Shawn noticed that. I fished my phone in my pocket and my smile grew even more widely when I saw that it was Viel! He replied and just by that it feels like I just won a lottery. We’re already near Crisha’s but I just want to go back home and lie o my bed and reply to his text! I’m completely helpless in this case.

“Young lady, you’re driving…” I heard the panicky voice of Shawn but I was so preoccupied with my thoughts when I heard Shawn shout, my car is speeding and there was a big yellow cargo van truck in front of us.

I was so shocked that my phone fell, my lips were trembling as I hurriedly pulled the break and into my horror! It’s not working!

“It’s not working!” I shouted… I looked horrified and so Shawn was on my side he was helping me maneuver he was trying to pull the break but not functioning…

We’re so near and any moment from now my car would crash into the back of the cargo van truck, I was trembling and teary-eyed.

Shawn was cursing as he tried to pull the break, we’re in the middle, there are more than a few cars on both sides and before we could know it we’re about to hit the back of the cargo van.

I closed my eyes as a tear fell on my cheek. We crashed and everything turn into darkness.

I never thought things could happen all of the sudden to change your life and even worse take your only life. When things feel alright and everything was as smooth as you want, it’ll suddenly shift into a rough one. I was in the darkness and it felt like I was here for so long, I could hear cries and I could sense the extreme sadness as I heard that.

I want to move and opened my eyes, but I couldn’t, I just couldn’t. I cannot see light, only the darkness but I could hear the vouge voice and it was all anguish,

Am I dead? But I could still hear the weak beat of my heart. It beats fast every time I could feel the warmest and comfort touched by someone which was very unlikely to other touches. And right now, I could feel….

I don’t know how long I’ve been here, just like always I could hear very unclear voices, I could hear close and open sounds of the door.

“OH my God, Hebron! Melinda call Hebron now!... faster!”

I recognized that loud panicking voice, it was my mom. The corner of my eyes stings as if it has its mind to drop a tear. I heard the door forcedly swung open and rushing footstep coming in.

“She moved her hand! I saw it! Check her Cesar...” the demanding voice of my mother echoed in the room and I also heard the weak voice of my dad

After the long session, I could feel someone monitoring me and the sounds of my beating heart on the machine together with the whispers of my mom saying to come back, and that’s the last thing I heard since my senses shut down again. The moment my breathing relaxes and back into my senses, I tried to open my eyes, I know I’m alive it’s just that I felt like I’ve been in the darkness for so long.

Slowly, slowly, I concentrated on opening my eyes, and the first thing that welcomed me was the very bright light which made me closed of eyes for a bit to adjust. When getting used to it, I slowly looked at where I am, I was in the huge room with a glass wall in front of where the bed was facing, I looked around and I recognized that I was in our mansion, this room was one of our largest vacant room.

I frowned wondering as I little by little regain my consciousness. I looked at my body just to see that I was wearing a loose white shirt and my pajamas, medical equipment was on my side and an IV injection was on my hands.

I gather my strength as I tried to sit on the huge bed where I was for god knows how long I’ve been here.

No one’s here, I looked at my hands and examine them, It was pale. But a sudden thud I heard in front of me. Immediately lift my head and I saw my mom’s face in shock and her wide gaze turned into teary eyes.

The thing that fell on the floor was a set of new curtains ad I saw Melinda behind my mom who was also looking surprised and was holding a vase with fresh roses in it.

I smiled at them like nothing happened, though just by looking at their priceless reaction it seems that they have just seen a ghost.

“Hi mom,” I said and smiled, she looks stunned, and before I knew I was enveloped by her tight hug while she was crying loudly.

I was astounded by her sudden burst of tears and also Melinda, they were crying while looking at me.

“My sweetheart,” My mom whispered as she hugged me tightly.

And that’s when a horrible memory comes rushing down on me… I remembered that I and Shawn were in my car and then… the rest was blurred and everything turns black, we get into an accident.

“Mom, stop crying,” I said as I rubbed her back.

“You just don’t tell me to stop, Cassidy!... we were in chaos when we found out that your car just crashed into a f*****g car which lead you to be in a coma for two f*****g months!”

She exclaimed as she looked at me, her eyes were a pool of tears while staring at me, and held my both cheeks. But I was more dumbfounded when I heard what she just said.

“W-what? Two months!?” I asked in disbelief.

I thought I was asleep for days but I never imagine that I was in the state of being unconscious for two months!

“Y-young lady, you’re back…” Melinda comes closer as she looked at me with relief and a weak smile on her lips. I didn’t move, I was still stunned while looking at them and my mother was still crying while hugging me, I noticed that she was wearing just a very plain dress right now and she had no very unusual make-up and accessories…

“Thank God you’re awake now, Cassidy…”

My mom said that softly as she looked at me lovingly, I could say that she misses me so much because her eyes were showing so many emotions which I had unlikely seen before because she’s always in poise like my dad. Suddenly, my mom looked at Melinda.

“Call doctor Cesar now!” She commanded before she looked at me again.

Melinda hurriedly put the vase on the table which was positioned on the side near the glass wall before she stormed out of the room.

“How are you feeling sweetheart? Are you hungry? Or something?”

My mom keeps on asking me and the worried in her voice was so very evident. I was guilty of making them worry this much, of course, it hurts for them, even though they were always a busy person because of our business, but they love me because I am their daughter.

“I’m fine mom, don’t worry,” I answered weakly as I looked around.

I can’t see my father.

“Where’s dad?” I asked.

“He attended a meeting just this morning sweetheart after he visited you here, but he’ll come back this afternoon,” She answered as she put the strands of my hair behind my ears.

I slowly nodded.

“Your friends were also so worried about you that they pay you a visit here every day,” My mom informed.

She must be referring to Crisha since I don’t have much of friends.

“And also the son of Borromeo was often here, he often comes here at night,” My mom informed and I was surprised to hear that, Viel was often here?!

“You stayed at the hospital for a week but after a thoroughly checked you and found that there’s no severe damage and I thank god for that, we decided to move you

In our mansion and our personal doctor was the one who’s monitoring you since you’re still Unconcious.

My mom informed me of things that I missed but I have stuck whit one thing she had just said a while ago.

I unconsciously reached for the necklace on my neck but then my forehead creased when I can’t feel it on my neck. It’s not one me anymore.
