Misunderstanding (Part4)

He wants to enter the room but he knew, he can't face her after what he did. He knew that he hurt her, he made her cry last night and it hits him very much because he made a fool out of himself. The next thing he knew, he was sitting beside her bed and holding her hand praying that she will get better and wake-up at that very moment. It’s been one hour since he was staring at her, look at her with the apparatus everywhere on her body. He sighed. "Wake-up now, please... You knew how important you are to me, right? I'm begging you, please wake-up and get well." he begged as he look intimately on her close eyes. He went outside to get a drink; he spotted one of the sisters of Grace, the one who gave him a piece of paper.

She smiled at me. "Is there any development?" she asked.

He bowed. "I'm sorry; I don't know how to start and say what and how it happened."

She smiled once again. "It’s okay, you don't have to explain everything. We owe you for bringing her immediately and escort her here. If she wasn't brought here, she'll be..." she begun to be emotional. "I'm sorry." she apologizes and wipe her tears.

He was supposed to say something when his phone rang. He made an excuse exit and answered the phone. The caller was his father. "You have to go home; we have an emergency at the office. We'll wait for you." a short message of his father.

He sighed. He had no choice but to go home, he look at the mirror where he can glance at Grace's face who's still sleeping. He looked at Grace’s sister and left, he stopped and turned around. "I'll be back tomorrow." he whispered unto himself.

While he was on his way back home, he heard some whispers; he chilled up and looked around. He has sitting alone near the window of the bus, he didn't mind it and focus on sightseeing. It’s totally dark but still he was ordered to go home even though he said that he has emergency he have. When he has a time to talk unto his parents, he will make them consider him to stay for a while where Grace is. "It’s my duty to take care of her." he murmured unto himself.

He was stunned when he saw the car outside their house. He rolled his eyes when he realized that his father told him that they would wait for him until he got back. His siblings smiled when they saw him and hugged him tight. All of his worries were brush off after he saw his little sister smiled at him. He hugged them back and look at his parents that were about to go. His parents got inside the car before he opened his mouth; he missed the chance to talk to his parents, his plan failed. He closed his eyes and just sighed. He knew that when his parents said its an emergency, it'll take days or weeks when they'll be back. He saw his siblings looked at him with worried expression. He smiled to cover up his dissatisfaction expression. He was stunned when he saw JC, his brother next to him, he clank. 

"Grow up faster." he whisper unto himself. 

He realize that his brother is still minor, a sixteen year old young man. He sighed. He remembered when he was just sixteen, he was forced to take care of JC who's just thirteen and their eight years old sister; Christine Precious.

He carried his youngest sister; Princess Criscel who's just two years old while CP followed him. "JC did you made dinner with them?" he saw his brother nod negatively.

He wanted to spit a curse but he couldn't, there's still an innocent ears who'll hear him. He cooked some food he got from the fridge. His mind was floating. He was awake when JC tapped his left shoulder. 

"I'll go wash the dishes for you today. PC is asleep, you know... I can't handle her when I accidentally woke her up but it’s just for today, okay? Besides, it’s already late at night." JC smiled at him.

He grinned. "I know, and then I'll leave all those stuffs to you. Enjoy washing." he said then carried his sleeping little sister.

He felt someone is staring at him, he can't help but to chill though he doesn't know why is he feeling cold and chilling frighteningly. It started at the dining area after he got home. He stayed at his sisters’ bedroom for a while to watch over his younger sister. He heard a few soft knock at the door then the door opened. He saw JC peeking. He gentle shook his head while smiling. His brother wants to play with him, he pretends he's sneaking out then he saw his brother ran as fast as he can. He can't help but to chuckle, then he started to feel the chilling on his whole body and this time is seems someone is at his back, he turn his back and he was stunned when he saw Grace then vanished. He sighed. He felt sadness when he remembers her, he can't go back tomorrow at the hospital. He's guilty that's why he had hallucination of hers. He knocked at his brother's room, he can't hide the incident himself and he really needs confidant.

"What should I do now? I can't visit her tomorrow, I promised her that I'll come back." he said with frustration on his voice. JC just looked at him. He knew he wants to comfort him but his brother doesn't know how. He sighed. "I'll just sleep, maybe I'm just tired. You should sleep, too because it’s late already." he said with a smile on his lips.

He slowly walks toward his room as his head bowed and his shoulders were down, all he was thinking is how he can go to the hospital tomorrow as he promised. He slowly closed his door's room and lean his back there. He looked on his bed and slowly walked towards it. He sat down and lay down facing the darkness of the sky on his window. He just noticed himself drying his tears from his eyes. He felt the air outside coming in through the window. He sat down near the window and glance at the sky. He saw the sky full of stars yet a few clouds covers the other stars, he also saw some lightning hiding from the thin clouds, he felt more coldness and he smell the thin air consists that it would rain.

He woke-up from the roar of the thunder and the strong rain that made his hair and left arm wet. He realized that he fell asleep there. As he blink his eyes to clear his sight, he notice something behind him but he didn't bother to turn around instead he focus closing his window and dry himself. He went in front of his drawer and gets some clothes, he's about to remove his shirt when he heard someone behind him however, when he turned around no one was there; he shook his head and grinned. "Hallucination again." he whispered.

After he changed his shirt, he decided to rest on his bed. He felt something heavy on his back as if there is someone with him. Slowly, he turned around and looked at it. His eyes begun to open wider of what he saw behind him, he can't take his eyes off of what is in front of him, he can't move his body the way he wanted to move, he can't shout even though he wanted to scream for help. He slowly moved backwards until he fell down on his bed.
