My Past leads me to you

She commits suicide

It’s been 2 months since Patrick broke up with Ella he realized that love is not enough reason to revive and hold on to a dying relationship. He still receives daily messages from Sydney which he actually looks forward too. It became part of his daily life; by heart he knows the time of her messages. And when, delay it gives him anxiety attacks. To the point of wanting to call her or barge to her place just to check if she’s fine. These past days, her messages are kind of dark and it worries him so much. From the time, he found out where she lives he changes his old route; he’s now taking her street as his new course.

 “Why she hasn’t message me yet? It’s already quarter to 6 pm; I’ll give her few more minutes. Maybe she’s just sleeping” Patrick thought to himself while getting ready to leave the office.  On his way out of his Department, he made a quick stop at the CEO office who is actually his good friend. He stayed for half an hour, when he can no longer take it he excused himself and left the Company building.

“Something’s not right; I don’t like what I’m feeling right now. Please keep her safe” Patrick whispers while driving his way to her place and within 30 minutes he’s in front of her house. No other cars were park in the driveway but hers only which is very scarce; usually either her Parents or any of his Brother's cars are also parked there. He made a thorough observation from the time he followed them home till these past 2 months and through these cars he can tell who is with her. His worries increases when he noticed that more than an hour passed yet she didn’t message still. Inside his car he has a clear view of her house, No lights were on he thought. He stepped out of his car and walks toward her house, on the left, there’s a pathway which leads to the backyard. He tried to peek from one of the windows on the side of the house, it was too dark. He looks up and saw a French balcony where the in-swing door is slightly ajar and just right beside the balcony is a small window with lights on. He’s having a bad feeling about this, he checks first all the house doors but all are locked and last resort is through the balcony. Luckily there’s a tree but not near enough the balcony railing, the possibility to fall is huge. I can do this! Boosting himself. He climbs the tree and stretches his arm to reach the railing, with all effort he made it. He quickly went inside and found an empty bed; with a quick glance of the area, he can confirm that it’s her and Luke’s room due to their large photo hanged on the wall and heaps of what it seems wedding invitations. He didn’t focus much on this as he needs to find her quick; he heard water continuously running from a faucet left open. He saw a door that was slightly open and try to call if someone was inside but got no answer. Then he opens the door and saw her in the tub with overflowing water mixed with blood as she cut her wrist. He rushes beside her and notices that she’s fully naked, as he was taking her out from the tub someone came inside the bathroom and scream. Myles took a hard object and about to hit him but as he turned around to face her, she saw her daughter naked and blood’s dripping from her wrist. She quickly covers her with a towel.

“I’m not a bad person Ma’am, I can’t explain right now! She cut her wrist and for God knows how long she’s been lying in the tub. We need to take her to the hospital right away. ” He said calmly to Myles whose eyes on her daughter.

Myles seems to calm down and let him move past her, she quickly grabs her robe and underwear and follows Patrick in his car. Myles opens the back seat and Patrick gently laid Sydney beside her before sliding in the driver seat.

Patrick took his phone from his pocket and unlocks it then handed over to Myles while the other hand is on the steering wheel. “Here Ma’am, please have a read, Maybe that would give you an idea about me or if not at least to prove to you that I’m not a bad person or has no bad intentions with your daughter.” He said calmly while looking straight ahead.

Myles reads all the messages and weeps at the back seat. She cradles her daughter in her arms and kisses her face. “Sweetheart, why do we have to reach this point?” she cries. Myles took her phone and calls her husband and her 2 boys and told them of the incident and which hospital they’re taking Sydney.

 "Baby, fight please...you're a fighter, right? Please don't leave Mommy, you're my miracle baby" Myles weeps which makes Patrick heart heavy.

'Miracle baby?" Patrick asked silently in his mind

At the Emergency, Sydney was right away attended by Dr. Siegfried who happens to be a friend of Sydney’s God Father. Patrick was asked about the incident while some of the personal questions were answered by Myles. Sydney has to be admitted to the hospital for observation.

“Patrick, I need to make the necessary formalities in the billing section. Would you mind staying with Sydney?” Myles asked Patrick

“Of course Mrs. Travis” He replied, I would love to actually be around her all the time he thought. He sat on the visitors' chair beside Sydney’s bed and stares at her beautiful face. He feels her pain, in the past months he already understood her feelings and learns how much pain she’s going through. Then suddenly David appears with Myles behind him.

“Honey, this is Patrick. Long story short he saved our daughter. Maybe we could talk more about it later” Myles explained to David who shook Patrick’s hands.

A moment later, Sebastian and Stephen arrives and was introduce to Patrick by their Mom when Dr. Siegfried came with another Doctor.

“She almost hit her radial artery which is typically used to take one’s pulse. The cut was deep hence the bleeding but If she had cut even deeper and hit the ulnar artery it will bleed profusely. Thank God we had abated the bleeding or else she will lose too much blood that may cause the heart to cease beating.” Dr. Siegfried explained in detail to the Family.

“How is she now Doc?” David asked

“She’s out of danger but we have to monitor her behavior and condition for a week at least.” Dr. Siegfried answered “By the way, this is Dr. Carl, a psychologist I want him to observe her current state whilst will visit her regularly until the day she will be discharged to see any differences” He explained

Later on, Sydney was transferred to her private room. Myles sits on the chair next to her bed and stares at her pale daughter whose lightly breathing. Sebastian went to buy some foods to at least have something to nibble since nobody has taken dinner yet.
