Max.I couldn't sleep a wink all night. And so, Once it was seven in the morning, I got up,took my bath and got dressed before waking Ethan up.He was really tired especially since we stayed in the hospital until it was really late yesterday night."Baby.." I called quietly and he hummed in response."I'm going to the hospital." I whispered quietly."This early?" He asked groggily."Yup, I'm worried about Eve." I said and sighed heavily.He opened his eyes and sat up on the bed."Should I drive you to the hospital?" He asked rubbing his eyes."No, you don't have to, you can't just close your cafe." I said quietly."I.." he tried to say but I shushed him."Baby, I love you and I want what's best for you, I don't want you to close down your cafe just because of me." I said."I'm not doing it because of you, Eve is my friend too. We might have met because of you but she's my friend and my employee." Ethan said as a matter of fact."Okay fine but you have to go to the cafe and put up a s
Max.He stood in front of me and I glared at him not even bothered by his gaze on me."Gay boy?" I scoffed."Obviously, you must have mistaken me for someone who gives a damn about what you call me!" I yelled angrily."What's going on here!" I heard someone shout and i knew it was Jason right away but I didn't even pay him any attention and I continued what I was saying."I've met tons of idiots like you when I came out years ago so meeting another one won't change a thing." I said angrily."W-wha.." eve's father tried to talk but I cut him off immediately."Look, i don't care if you're homophobic or whatever. That's your own problem and you can't do shit to me." I said angrily."Look here, you gay piece of shit!" He yelled angrily and i smirked."What's going on here for God sake!" Jason yelled again and that's when we all kept mute. And then he walked towards us and stood at the sidelines while eve's father and I were still facing each other."Jason right, I'm glad you're here, this
Jason..It's been a week since Eve became unconscious and the doctor said she is in a coma.Although, I'm still believing that she'll wake up soon and she'll remember us all. I was currently at the hospital once again. That's all I do these days, I go to the hospital in the morning then head to work from there before returning back to the hospital in the evening and then going home to rest because if I don't know, my mom would probably skin me alive."Oh Ethan, you're here." I said the moment I saw him walking over to where I sat."Yeah.." he answered in a bored tone and i frowned."Are you alright?" I asked in concern."Yeah, it's just Max, he's been skipping meals for days." He said and sighed deeply."We went to get lunch before coming here and he was just picking at his food, so I snapped at him." Ethan said with a huff as he sat down on the chair beside me."So where is he now?" I asked with a raised brow."I have no idea." He said and sighed."I'm sure he's around here somewher
Jason.."Is she awake?" I repeated seeing as he didn't say anything."Just come here fast." He said and hung up before I could say anything."What is it?" "What's going on?" Max asked and that's when I realized that Max still standing behind me."He said we should come!" I said excitedly as I ran out of the rooftop garden with Max running behind me."So is she awake?" Max asked as he ran. I ignored that because I also don't know if she's awake.We took the elevator down to the second floor and as it went down, I kept tapping my feet restlessly. There was this feeling of uncertainty lurking in my mind. I was excited because in those movies, when the comatose patient hands move, it means they're waking up but Jade didn't say anything about her waking up. Maybe they have to check her vitals first to see if she's stable or does that mean she'll be waking up soon?We arrived at the second floor, dashed to Eve's ward only to open the door and meet the doctor ready to leave the room."Doct
Jason."Who are you and what do you want from me?" I snapped angrily."I can't believe you don't remember me!" He snapped back and I scoffed."What is your problem?" I asked angrily."You don't know me and then you walk up to me demanding that I talk to you, are you some kind of pervert?" I asked with a big frown."I'm sorry to break it to you but I'm not gay!" I said with a loud voice and he laughed."Ofcourse you're not gay, you fucked my sister for years, how could you possibly be gay?" He snapped and that's when I became fully sober."You're Alice brother?" I asked in a calmer voice."Yeah, I'm Alice brother." He said coldly."So what do you want from me?" I asked."Beats me!" He shrugged."If you don't have anything to say, I'm gonna go." I said walking away to where I parked my car."Don't you feel sorry at all?" He asked following behind me."Sorry for what?" I asked stopping in my tracks and turning to face him."Sorry for smashing my sister and leaving her like that." He said
Alice."No!" I heard him yell loudly."Please, let him just check up on her, it's raining for God sake!" My mother pleaded but Dad was adamant.I stood behind the wall hidden from their view as they argued in the living room loudly."I don't care if it rains or snows, I'm not letting him into my house." Dad yelled angrily."Why won't you let him inside?" Mom yelled back."He's our son, isn't he?" She said crying and yelling at the same time."That good for nothing might be your son but he's not mine." Dad yelled in response."I've disowned him since the day he embezzled my funds and ran away like a coward that he is." Dad yelled in anger."What kind of man are you?" Mom sobbed loudly."A man that keeps his household." "Your two children are failures, one is a thief and the other one is staying locked up in her room because of a man that barely cares about her" "Sometimes I wonder if they are of my blood." He said angrily."What's that supposed to mean?" Mom yelled angrily."That you
Eve..Where am I?I thought as I walked through the garden of beautiful flowers.There were all kinds of flowers in this garden. Peonies, lotus flower, roses, hibiscus, all kinds. They were beautiful but I wasn't moved by them. For some reason, they felt empty.They didn't seem soulful like normal flowers. Maybe it was the lack of wind in this place or the lack of butterflies that made it look that way, I couldn't tell.I walked around the garden until I found a bench to sit on.I was really tired of walking about anyways."Jason.." I called out but I couldn't hear myself. It was like as if I had lost my voice."Mom?" I tried calling out but it still didn't work."Grandma Nini?" "Max!" "Ethan!" "Jade!" I kept yelling out their names but my own voice wasn't sounding so how can they possibly hear me?From the looks of things, I was definitely not kidnapped. Because I don't think people would kidnap anyone and put them in a garden or greenhouse.And it didn't seem like I was being
Jason.It's been two weeks since Eve fell into a coma and it's been a few days since I got two bodyguards to guard eve's ward.I don't want any weird thing to happen so I'm being cautious. The only people who are allowed to go into the ward besides family would be the doctors or nurses.Mom asked why I put bodyguards but I didn't have any reason I could give her so I said we can't all be here all the time and what if someone needs to get something outside or so. In short, I made up something believable."Are you ready to leave?" Jade asked once he came into my office.I was currently at work preparing to leave for a meeting before I can go to the hospital to see Eve. "It's last meeting for the day right?" I asked and he nodded in response."Okay, let's go then." I said getting up from my swivel chair and following jade out.We got into the elevator and pressed the button to the underground parking lot."You didn't get to tell me everything that day." Jade said since we were alone."I
