The Bad Boy Has A Soft Spot

Chapter 49 Last Promise

Roselia's POV

As I woke up, I felt a stinging needle in my hand. My stomach was empty but I had no cravings. My eyes were sore and it was burning badly. It was rather cold and a soft bed sheet lie under me. I couldn't move, I didn't have the energy to. I was drained.

All I could feel was the cold sheets that made my feet freeze. I could hear these consecutive beats beside me, loud and clear I breathed in a fragrant perfume that Vanessa sprays all over her body. She must be there in the room.

"Vanessa?" Was all I could squeak out of my mouth as I flutter my eyes opened mid-way. The color of red was my first vision and gradually the bright fluorescent lighting attacked my eyes with its harsh white glow. Turquoise walls, turquoise ceiling and a dark blue sofa were my second vision. My third vision was the people around me, the ones who waited for my consciousness. The severe pain in my head was positively temporary or at least, it reduced to a reasonable pain level.

"Dani. Dani. She's awake." I saw Vanessa tug the sleeve of my sister beside me who was sleeping. As I looked at her, my heart fell. She had swollen eyes and dark circles around her eyes, her nose was pink-red and her cheeks were pale.

She was worried about me.

"Hey." Dani looked at me with this refreshing warm smile, relieved that I was awake with that soothing voice of hers.

"I'm sorry. I truly am." I didn't know why I was apologizing but I knew I should. I felt that it was the right thing to do. I do feel guilt just welling up inside me, regret and anger. The problem is that I had no clue where it came from.

"Why are you apologizing?" Dani's smile turned into a frown.

"I know I need to." I replied, having a hoarse voice and uncontrollable fear.

"I forgive you." She replied and I looked at Vanessa to my left and smiled.

"I'm gonna go get the doctor." Dani said and before I could stop her, she zoomed out of the room. She was always fast. The reason I wanted to stop her was that I wanted to be alone and not under a scary-looking guy with a massive lab coat with the stethoscope wrapped around his neck.

"How are you?" I asked to Vanessa.

"Are you serious? How are YOU?"

"Except for this back pain, I'm feeling grand. What happened exactly?"

"For starters, you went through 2 surgeries in your head." She explained and I predict it to be detailed. "The doctor removed a lump of dead cells and blood in your skull. You've been out for 4 days. YOU ARE STUPID. WHY DID YOU DRIVE?"

Aaa... Yes. I remembered.

"4 days, huh." I replied and stared at the ceiling. I, certainly feel depressed just because of that stupid f-ing a-hole.

"Haven't seen you smile in a while." A voice that was completely recognizable spoke right in front of me. "Hey." A bright smile appeared on her lips as we shared gazes. My eyes widened, both in surprise and happiness.

"Jenna?" I was overjoyed even though I couldn't display it through my voice but on the inside, I was on the brink of shouting. I know, I missed the only chance of ever creating another future instead of living alone with 13 cats or more but I guess that's no so bad right. Even though that part inside of me was broken, I still had a reason to hope. I didn't know why, didn't know what and couldn't find out who to hope for. "You didn't go?"

"No. Only my brother and my old man went there." Her smile widened as she approached me from the entrance door of the room.

"How are you doing?" I guess it didn't matter when she came back, she's here now and that's the only thing in my mind. I could smile at the sight of her but I could only move my hand and legs. I had no control over my spine so I couldn't smack her down and give her a bear hug.
