I woke up to someone's footsteps. I looked up to see that guy from last night standing at the end of the bed about to put on his t-shirt. Damn, all those muscles. Last night was fun and so unlike me but I kinda like this side of me. I did forget about Nick for awhile when I was with that guy marking each other's body. 

Dang it, now that scenario from yesterday at the hospital played over and over again. He really forget about me after he share about his feelings towards me, and now I'm hopeless. I thought things about to get better but there are always something in the way. What should I do to make him remember about me again if he doesn't even want to see me anymore? What does he means by 'I don't want to see her face anymore', does that mean he remember me but there is a bad memories that goes with it?

Soon I found myself cried, making that guy's head turned. He looked at me with pity in his eyes. He walked towards me and pull me into his embrace. I let out the tears to flow out with my feelings and be free. "Shhh, please don't cry." He said, only making me cry more. His embrace gets even tighter.

"Why... do... you... care... about... a stranger... so much?" I asked him between sobs. 

"Because you seem like you just went through a lot of pain and I can't see a girl looks so vulnerable like this." He admitted. 

"That's so cliche." I chuckled but still sobbing. "Don't you have somewhere to go?"

"Yeah, kinda, but it can wait." He answered.

"I don't want to hold you back, you should go." I pulled away from his embrace and wiped my tears away.

"Are you sure?" He asked and I simply nod as an answer. "Well then, goodbye, Adeline."

"Wait, you know my name?" I looked at him surprised.

"It's written on the receipt of your card billing yesterday." He chuckled.

"It's not fair, I don't know your name." I pouted.

"It's Eli." He answered before leaving me in the bedroom alone. 

Eli, Eli, such a nice name for a very hot guy. This is the only thing LA has did something good for me, and probably the wedding. Now that Nick forgot about who am I, what's the point of being in this city anymore?

to have great sex with that guy again

Oh I'm definitely not gonna do that. That was just a one night stand and I don't intend to get further in our relationship. Please, I'm trying not to catch feelings here.

All of a sudden my phone started to ringing, I saw the caller ID and saw Edwin's name popped up on my screen. "Ola!" I chirped way too excited.

"Shouldn't your tone be more sad? Nick is in hospital right now." He said. 

"I've been knew, I stayed for hours waiting for him to finally woke up but only to find out that he forgot about me." I ranted. 

"I'm at your brother's front door, you better explain why there was a guy walking out of that door just a few minutes ago and explain to me everything that happened the past few days." He said in a serious tone which make me quickly grab my undergarments and slip it on also a baggy hoodie that I brought with me.

I rushed to the front door and opened it with the phone still on my ear even though Edwin has already ended the phone call. "Eggy! I miss you so much." I hug him right away as I saw him. 

"Ew, ew, ew, you stink." He said, pushing me away from him. He walked towards the couch and put his suitcase beside him. "Please explain before I go to the hospital."

"You guys have no idea at all what happened with Nick?" I asked as the memories of a few nights ago flooded back into my mind. 

"We just knew that he got into a car crashed, at first everyone was trying to fly here but all flights were full booked, I was lucky I guess." He answered.
