Chapter 3

"How did I get to your house?" She asked.

"Don't you remember what happened?" The guy asked worriedly.

Alisha racked her brain for few seconds before talking "ah...not much. I remembered celebrating my birthday and then, I wanted to kill myself"

"You really don't remember?"

"I don't know. Everything is blurry in my brain"

"Do you remember who Zhang is?" The guy worriedly asked.

"I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me" echoed in her brain and the next second, she angrily disconnected herself from the drip and angrily got out of the bed.

"Who do you think you're!?' she angrily screamed into the guy's face "Who gives you the permission to save me!?" Tears rolled down uncontrollably from her eyes. "How dare you?"

"Killing yourself..." The guy started saying but he was cut off by Alisha's angry voice.

"It's my life! You shouldn't have! How am I suppose to live now! Who gave you the right to save me. You shouldn't have!" Her voice cracked at this moment and she angrily pushed the guy back "I will never forgive you for what you've done to me. You've ruined everything."

"Killing yourself isn't the best solution."

"It was the best solution! It was!. Don't expect me to say thank you."

"Miss."

"Take me back to the beach now and let me finish what I've started!"

"That, I'm not going to do."

Alisha gave the guy the most hateful stare that she could come up with before looking at what she was wearing.

"Get me my clothes now!"

~~~~~~~~~~

After changing into her own clothes, Alisha angrily opened the door and stepped inside an hallway. Alisha looked at her left and right. She was trying to figure out which way was the right way out of the building without asking for help from the guy that had excused himself when she was about to change into her own clothes.

After deliberating for few seconds, she decided to take the right side.

"If you're truly leaving, that's not the way out" Someone said behind her and she hurriedly turned around to see who it was. It was the handsome guy.

Without saying anything, Alisha started following him in the opposite direction.

"What's your name?" The handsome guy tilted his head and asked as they were heading out.

"None of your business. Just get me out of here."

A frown creased his forehead and he heaved a sigh before stopping on his track suddenly. Which made Alisha to also stop on her track.

"Listen" he said with a serious face "I'm just trying to help you. Committing a suicide because of a guy isn't worth it"

"Who says it's because of a guy?" Alisha fired back.

"Do I look stupid or deaf to you? I was there the whole time. You were crying and screaming out his name."

Alisha fought the tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks and stared into his eyes which was as blue as an ocean. She was still finding it hard to believe that the guy standing in front of her was a human being like her. Every single part of him was too perfectly shaped.

"Just get me out of your house!"

"Was he your boyfriend?" He asked.

Instead of answering him, Alisha started walking away from him. She was walking towards the door. Although Alisha was still angry at Zhang and she was still determined about committing suicide just to prove to Zhang how much she loved him, a part of her heart was telling her to reconsider because of the handsome guy that had rescued her.

"Alisha Perry!" Someone called behind her and Alisha had almost fallen down from shock. How come? She thought. She hurriedly turned around and saw the handsome guy still standing at where he had been for the past few minutes.

"How...do... you...know...my...?"

"You're all over the news. 'A seventeen years old girl who celebrated her birthday few hours ago committed suicide after being dumped by her boyfriend'. They're still searching for your dead body inside the water." he shrugged and blinked twice "It's a free world. I can't stop you if you don't want to live."

Alisha lost control and hot tears uncontrollably rolled down her eyes. She slowly walked back to where the guy was still standing and whimpered "My mom? What about her?"

He shrugged "Exactly what is going through your mind right now. She is a single mother with an only child."

Alisha sobbed louder and hugged the guy tightly for consolation.

"He dumped me. He dumped me. I thought we were in love but the whole time, I was the one in love. I'm a very stupid person."

"Stop blaming yourself. The douchebag is the one to be blamed." the guy consoled.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Thank you for the soup." Alisha said as she was about to take her first spoon. She was seated on the bed with a tray on her laps which contained a bowl of hot chicken soup.

"You're welcome." the guy who was now seated on the only couch inside the room said.

"I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. Thank you for saving me."

The guy looked at Alisha happily with a wide, cocky smile on his face before replying "You're welcome. It's nice meeting you"

"I'm Alisha. Alisha Perry",

"I'm Kelvin. Kelvin McSmith"

The moment Alisha heard Kelvin's last name, her eyes became as big as saucers, uncontrollably spat out everything that was in her throat and started choking.

Although, Kelvin knew that she was going to be surprise when she heard his name, he wasn't expecting her to be this surprised.

When Kelvin saw her choking on the soup, he had instantly gotten up from the couch and rushed to her side. He carefully lifted a cup to her mouth and told her to drink out of it.

"Easy. Easy" he said slowly and attentively as Alisha gulped down the whole water. "How are you feeling now? You're feeling better?" He asked as he put down the glass cup.

But instead of replying him, Alisha had asked him a question.

"Are you really Kelvin McSmith?"

Kelvin looked straight into her eyes. His ocean blue eyes connecting with her hazel eyes. She unconsciously swallowed her saliva and her heartbeat thumped louder. The Kelvin McSmith that was standing in front of her was just too handsome to be real. Even he being 'too handsome' was an understatement from Alisha's perspective because his pictures that were on the internet did his handsomeness no justice at all.

"Yeah. I'm Kelvin McSmith. My dad was Eric McSmith" he added the last sentence with a full blown ego.
