“THE OPERATION WENT WELL.”
I burst out crying after hearing what the doctor said. A chunk of negative feeling I had was lifted. I can somehow breath freely than earlier.
“What will happen now?” Pops asked.
There's a lot of things I wanna ask so bad but I was just too overwhelmed about the situation.
“We’ll be moving him to a different room and observe him. I need to give you a heads up though…” The doctor sighed and placed his hands on his pocket.
My eyes automatically shifted at him. That kind of sigh is not a good sign.
“W-Why? What’s wrong?”
“He’s been badly beaten. He had a few broken ribs, cracked skull and his face had a lot of bruises. Not to mention the puncture he received on his abdomen.”
I
I STOOD UP when I saw Caleb’s arm slightly moved. There was also a subtle movement in his eyes that made me feel excited. My heart palpitated as I immediately ran out and called for a nurse.“I think my boyfriend is awake!” I elatedly announced.The nurse nodded went out of the nurse station. “We’ll be there. I'll just call the doctor.”I was still catching my breath but I went back to his room right away. But then when I returned… he was motionless – not even moving an inch.“Caleb?” I called and walked closer to him. “Love?”Tears started to flow from my eyes. Did I just thought he moved? Was it just my imagination? It’s been two days since he was admitted in this hospital. We’ve been praying for him to wake up soon. Am I already getting impatient that I started to imagine things?Castiel and Kairo were busy handling and helping with Caleb’s case so I’m here all b
MY EYES WANDERED inside the room. I noticed that there were two people who appears to be sleeping in the guest area. I looked at my hands and at the machine beside me. I immediately confirmed where I was.Hospital.The assault that happened to me was clearly stored in my memory. I was beaten badly so it’s no surprise that I ended up in the hospital. Well, what surprised me was the fact that I’m still alive.Goodness!I was literally covered with bandages! And I felt helpless when I started to feel a bit itchy. My throat felt dry too and my body was sore.I wanted to call their attention but I can’t talk – good thing, a nurse came in.She walked towards me and her eyes broadened in surprise.“The patient is awake!” She happily announced that woke them
“WELCOME BACK!” Everyone shouted as soon as Dawn opened the door of my unit. They also used a party popper that startled me a bit. I was shocked and happy to see that everyone was there waiting for me. Director Greg was there, Cass, Kairo and Kim, Dawn’s parents and my other friends were also present.I almost cried.I missed seeing them and being out like this. I stayed in the hospital for two weeks and waited for my broken ribs to heal, as well as the stab wound I got from my attacker which I later on confirmed as Flynn.The police went to the hospital and asked for my statement. They asked what happened after I collapsed.“When I woke up, I was tied in one of my dining chairs. The man was staring at me manically, as if he wanted me to see that the first time I open my eyes. He was holding a glass bottle. I think that’s the one I have inside my refrigerator containing water. It doesn’t have an
IT’S BEEN A MONTH since Caleb was assaulted and the police weren’t able to catch Flynn yet. This man – it seems that someone was backing him up. They were having a hard time tracking him.Everyday, my fear was growing bigger. Afraid that once again, he will come back to finish Caleb and take me. It was unsettling. I was trying to move on but I can’t – thinking that there’s another chance that he could take to ruin me.“Love?”My gaze shifted at Caleb who just got out of the bathroom.“Something wrong?” He dried his hair using a towel.My eyes went down from his face to his abdomen and once again saw the scar of his stab wound. Guilt immediately took over.“Hey?” He walked towards me while covering his scar. “Is it that ugly? Disturbing? Do you love me less because of this scar?”I immediately stared at his eyes that was filled with doubt. “Are you c
“CAN YOU REMIND ME what you did to me here?” Dawn asked and I panicked. I stood up from where I was sitting and was about to go out of the room next to them when a woman officer stopped me.“It seems she’s also planning to make him spill about the incident from few years back.” She uttered.I jerked my head as I stared at her completely surprised. “You know that? Who are you?”She cleared her throat as she focused her eyes on me. “Officer Anne, the officer who helped her with her case way back. For some reason, she suddenly changed her mind and dropped the charges. I thought it was going to become a cold case but she called me last month. I think that was the time when you were hospitalized. She asked for my assistance again with a new information that this man defiled her.”“And?” I was starting to have a hard time breathing.“We tried to trace Flynn, yet it seems someone was helpi
CALEB WAS KNEELING IN front of my parents. The atmosphere was intense. They were looking at him with their brows furrowed and eyes glinting with curiosity. We were currently in Tagaytay to visit my parents... and of course, share the good news.The first time we arrived there, Mom kept saying that something changed within me but she couldn't exactly tell what that was.I was actually laughing inside my mind. Mothers do have another instinct and they could instantly feel if there was something different with their child."What's with this kneeling all about?" Pops squinted his eyes. "Why do I have this feeling that you've done something really bad to my daughter?"I wanted to guffaw but it would ruin the tense atmosphere that Caleb really planted. He said that he wanted to pull a prank on Pops and see his real reaction."Well..." He tilted his face. "Something hap
WE INVITED WHO MOM suggested and even included Director Greg to join us today. It was a funny moment for me when I revealed that I was pregnant. They were all too shocked to react about it.“Surprise!” I shouted and even waved my hands but no one seems to get what I said. “Hey people, I said I’m pregnant!”The first person who reacted was Director Greg – not to congratulate me but to cry. I realized that Director Greg was a very emotional man. I’ve seen him cry a lot of times when we were filming.“Oh my God! I thought I was just heard you wrong.” Kim walked quickly towards me and gave me a hug. “Congratulations Dawn!”“Finally!” I giggled.“Why didn’t you tell us before hand? We could have brought gifts for you!”“Then that wouldn’t be
THE FIRST TRIMESTER OF my pregnancy wasn't easy. Like what other pregnant women experienced, I had morning sickness too. I hate it when I wake up in the morning just to throw up. It felt like I'm going to puke my baby out.Castiel was inside with me in the bathroom, patting back - trying his best to give me comfort. He's been staying at Caleb's place for a week already. Since Caleb was out, busy with the promotion of our incoming movie, he asked Cass's help."Do you need anything?" He asked with a voice filled with concern."God Cass!" I was starting to cry. "I just want it to stop!"I saw how concerned he was. He reached for his phone but I stopped him."Please don't call Caleb."He stared at me, contemplating whether he shouldn't really call his brother or continue and ask him to come home. In the end, he just placed his phone back in his p
