# Jeremy ‘s POV

 

Dad didn’t wake up all through the night.

 

And now it’s morning..

 

7:10am

 

Chris slept on his seat when it got to midnight.

 

Dummy

 

I couldn’t.. Not when my dad haven’t woken.

 

I stared at him.

“I miss you dad.” I said.

 

Just then my phone vibrated.

 

The witch calling.

 

I ignored it and went on to watch my dad.

 

Why the fuck is she calling?

 

Like she care about daddy or me…

 

Just then, I saw his fingers move.

 

Huh?

“Dad?” I called sotly…

 

“Dad you awake?” I called out to him softly..

 

But he kept still, his eyelids never moved.

 

I sighed.

“Dad, I’ve been here staring at you and you don’t wanna wake up. What’s wrong?”

 

I said.

“Do you wanna leave me?”

 

“No he can’t.” That was Chris voice behind me.

 

He has woken up.

 

Sleepy head!

“He’s gonna wake up.” He said, rubbing his eyes.

# Alexandra ‘s POV

 

I woke up, with a slight headache..

 

Ouch!

 

I know why tho, cos I slept so late.

 

I went for my phone first.

 

Bad habit. ugh!

 

To check for Jeremy’s message but saw none.

 

So I got up, slide my feet into my flipflop and walked out to check Lili.

 

She was right at the breakfastbar, Making mixed fruit grind for dessert..

 

I walked to her and backhugged her.

“Goodmorning Lili.” I said.

 

She looked closely at me, “Slept early? cos your eyes are just inside.”She said. “I slept quite late Lili. I guess I slept around 2am in the morning.” I said and sat

 

down on the chair beside her.

“You still need some sleep dear. You should go sleep.” She said.

 

I shook my head.

“I wanna go to Washington Hospital to check on Jeremy.” I said.

 

She looked at me and smiled.

“You’re such a nice friend to him. Im.sure he’s gonna appreciate that if you do.”

 

She said.

 

I smiled.

 

“I wish I could come with you but I really don’t wanna barge into their family matters now.” She said.

“It’s okay Lili. I’ll tell you everything when im back.” I said.

 

“Anything to tidy up before I go?” I asked her and she shook her head.

 

“No. You just gonna eat.” She said.

 

“And have some drug cos I got slight headache.” I said, touching the right side of

 

my head.

“Cos you didn’t get enough sleep. I’ll give you some drug.” She said.

 

“Yeah I know.” I said as I watched her pour out the juice into the jug beside.

 

“Im gonna resume work next month.” She said.

 

“Wow!…” I exclaimed, feeling happy.

 

She smiled.

 

I felt happy, she’s been staying home all this while.

 

Im glad she’s gonna be going out soon.

“You might miss me Alex, cos I come back really late.” She said.

 

“I don’t care Lili. I just want you to be happy.” I said.

 

She looked at me with a smile.

“You’re amazing Alex.” She said.

 

I smiled as I recalled that was what Jeremy said to me too.

 

Im I actually amazing?

“Im really lucky to have you niece.” She said.

 

“Me too Lili.” I said and hugged her.

 

Then we heard the doorbell ring.

“Who might that be?” Lili said.

 

“I’ll go check.” I said and walked out to, to the door to check.

 

Might be Jeremy..

 

But he can’t leave his dad..

 

I opened the door and Wow….

 

Steph.

 

She grinned awkwardly..

“Stephh.” I called.

 

“Alex… Im sorry.” She said.

 

I just hugged her.

 

I remember she texted me but I didn’t reply although I was very happy within.

 

I miss her. I miss our friendship.

“I miss you Alex.. I wanna make things right between us.” She said.

 

“I miss you too.” I said, still hugging her.

 

“Alexx… Who’s at the door?” Lili asked from the kitchen, but I guess she was

 

coming out now.

“It’s Steph. She’s here.” I said.

 

I took Steph’s hand and we walked in and I closed the door.

 

Then Lili came out.

 

She smiled at Steph.

 

“Hello Steph. We miss you.” Lili said, smiling.

 

Then came over and hugged her.

 

I smiled.

“Don’t go away again.” Lili said to her as she pulled away.

 

“I won’t. I promise.” Steph said.

 

“Im going back to the kitchen.” Lili said and headed out towards the kitchen.

 

I understand. She wanna give us space to talk..

 

I sat down on a couch and Steph sat down too, beside me.

“Thanks for forgiving me Alex.” She said.

 

“I gotta do that. Thanks for coming around. Im happy you did.” I said.

 

“I heard something..” She said.

 

“What??” I asked.

 

“That.. that you and Jeremy are now official friends.” She said.

 

I looked at her and smiled.

“Yeah, I think. We are friends now.” I said.

 

Not just friends. I love him now. I suddenly do.

 

Not after seeing his tears and loving the way he kissed me there in his car.

 

She became silent.

“I wanna tell you something..” I said.

 

“What’s that?” She asked.

 

“His.. his dad got into an accident yesterday while he was coming back.” I said.

 

Her eyes widened and she blinked.

“Oh my God!..” She exclaimed.

 

“Jeremy’s tryna make it not to get to the mass and crowd.” I said.

 

“Is he badly injured?” She asked.

 

“His legs… and would have to be on a wheelchair till its all healed.” I said.

 

“He took you to his dad?” She asked.

 

“I went with him.” I said.

 

She went silent.

“..And Im gonna go to check on him this morning at the hospital.” I said.

 

She looked at me.

“Can I come with you?” She asked.

 

Wow…. Im I actually dreaming?

 

If i am. Then this one’s a good dream.

“You wanna come like seriously?” I asked, not quite sure about her decision.

 

“Yeah. I want to..” She said.

 

Wow..

“Okay. I’ll go take my bath and dress up.” I said and got up.

 

“I’ll just put on the TV so you don’t get so bored.” I said with a smile and went for

 

it.

“Thanks.” She said.

 

I rushed off to the bathroom after letting Lili know Steph’s coming with me.

 

She just smiled and said.

“She’s changing.”
