Stay With Me

CHAPTER 1

1.

Hi, I am AVELINE CRUZ, 27 years old. I am from LONDON but currently living in NEW YORK for my study with my sister, JEAN CRUZ.

I am a doctor and have completed my MD from New York Medical College. I was the only one in my university who got enrolled at an early age. I graduated early compared to others. 

My dad, Mr. JAMES CRUZ, is the dean of London New Life Hospital in LONDON. My mom, Mrs. SOPHIA CRUZ, is a famous fashion designer. My sister, JEAN CRUZ, studies fashion design in NEW YORK. I have a small happy family with my MOM, DAD, JEAN, and me.

I have always wanted to study in the medical field from a young age. I have dedicated my life to studying. It wasn't that hard for me as my dad helped me from a young age. So, I was familiar with all the medical field books and the human body.

When I was young, I saw DAD working all day and night in the hospital. I have seen many people who were saved and cured by my dad. He is my motivation. 

"Yay...yay...finally, we are going to London." All of a sudden, I spun around.

"JEAN...JEAN... stop... stop... I am... feeling dizzy." 

"I am sorry, AVELINE." She stopped and looked at me with worried eyes. "Are you okay? Do you want-"

I looked at her and smirked. To her surprise, I spun her around and laughed at her.

"Yah... AVELINE... Stop it..."

"It's tit for tat, dear." I laughed at her reaction and spun her a bit more.

After some time, we sat on the couch and took a deep breath. We were tired and laid down, facing the ceiling. We both were happy and smiling. Nobody can measure the level of happiness in us.

"Finally, we are going back. I am already missing them." 

"Yeah, finally." I closed my eyes and took a deep sigh. "Before, we rarely got to meet them coz of our studies. And now, we can live together with them forever."

"Yeah... That's true. At that time, I missed them and wanted to celebrate every festival with them."

We are coming home, MOM DAD. I closed my eyes. Then, something crossed my mind.

"JEAN... did you complete your packing?" I asked her seriously, and she nodded. "I DON'T THINK SO..." I raised my left eyebrow and asked her again. "JEAN... I mean... ALL THOSE THINGS AS WELL."

"YESS-" Her eyes widened in shock. "Damn, how can I forget such an important thing?" I laughed at her reaction and shrugged my shoulder.

"Okay, I am going now. Want to join?"

"Nah..." I shook my head. "I haven't completed packing. Many books need t-" I was interrupted by her.

"Oh...Oh...okay...okay..." She grabbed her things. "You and your books always stay together. I am leaving now."

"Haha...fine. Take care. Don't forget to take your jacket." I shouted and smiled at her. "You always forget it," I said and stood up.

"Okay, Madam...Thank you for reminding me...Bye."

"Urgh... There are still a lot of things remaining to pack." I scanned around the room and took a deep sigh. "Let's do it."

There were many medical books and some famous books to relieve my mind. Book is everything to me. Whenever I travel somewhere, I always buy some book that captures me.
