The hospital was a chaos. A total mind-blowing chaos.
The 2 days were hard like rock.
Section E were noisy.
They teased, they joke.
They asked a lot of questions. but I didn't answer.
Keifer told them not to ask questions.
It wasn't the right time yet.
They hated julian and the others. But didn't react. but I knew
The way they stared at them like they were villains
It made my blood boiled but.... stayed quite.
Freya apologized to Jay.
Everything was alright.
Jay's pov:
Keifer went out to buy breakfast for me. Julian was reading a book leaning on the chair beside. I was glancing at him often.
Suddenly, He sighed
Julian: what's wrong?
Maria: Huh?
Julian: your pinching your skin so hard that it might bleed. you are glancing at me like you just stole something. you only do that when you are worried, Overthinking or lying.
Maria: It's just that I remember something from my past. You are always the person I tell all my problems to. We always did. Bcoz we believed no one would believe us. So, growing up we trusted each other. told each other everything. Always had each other's back
He was silent. It meant he was observing.
Julian: I agree with what you said..... but that does not answer the question still.
He was right.
It didn't
I looked around.
Maria: I don't know how to see aries. I feel..... guilty?
Julian: what do you remember?
I saw his concern. he asked soft and gently.
Maria: I remember when mom used to treat aries bad, really bad. the time when I was sick, mom was out working. When she returned, she didn't see aries he had went out to buy me porridge. She didn't let him explain. she just simply scolded him.
Tears fell down my eyes naturally. I couldn't stop them. But I wasn't embarrassed. Bcoz Julian has seen me worse.
He just listened. leaning forward.
I continued.
Maria: I remember the time when the time aries begged mom to let him go to school. But she just beat him.
I sobbed loudly.
He came forward and hugged me.
I hugged back tightening it.
I spoke while crying and hugging him. I was complaining like a child, but I didn't care.
Maria: I-It hurts so bad. It was like she favoured me over h-him. No wonder Aries hated me. He stayed away from me. H-he had every right to. I can't face him. It hurts! pls hide me. I can't speak to h-him. I hate mom so much!
Julian listened.
He didn't utter a word. At this time he wasn't my fiance, he was more than that... A best friend. A family.
I pulled away from the hug.
He just simply nodded. Giving me a gentle smile.
Julian gave me his handkerchief. I wiped my tears.
He reached out to the nearby table and pulled out my depression medicine (psilocybin) before I start to hyperventilate.
I took it as he handed me a glass of water and swallowed it.
As always, no one knows me more than him.
Keifer came with my breakfast. He noticed my red eyes.
Keifer: are you ok?
I nodded gently. I didn't smile.
I just couldn't.
He noticed. Keifer always did.
But he didn't push me further.
He just looked worried and concerned.
Even though he was jealous of Julian.
I could see it.
His eyes looked hurt.
But I..... needed time to fix everything before it's too late
