2 Chap 1

My name's Audrey Martin, 19, and was forced by the author to introduce myself so don't ask me anything, I don't give a damn.

"Miss Audrey, your mom is asking you to go down. Breakfast is ready." It was Melma, our helper.

I went down and sat as the helpers are putting foods on the table. Full of foods over the table are prepared. Duh, it's just me and my mom. Plus, I'm on a diet, how could they tempt me by preparing all of these.

"Your school year is almost finished, Audrey. How was it?" Mom started a conversation.

"Everything's fine so far. Thankfully, I've finished all my schoolworks before my schoolworks finish me." I told her. Mom chuckled.

"Take it easy, love. No pressure." She smiled. See how much my mom loves me? Get on my level, humans.

We finished breakfast with random conversations. It's just the two of us but the breakfast table never felt lonely. If you're gonna ask where my dad is then get the hell out of here. I don't answer stupid questions.

"Drink your medications, Audrey." My mom reminded me. "Melma, prepare Audrey's medicines and things for school." She reminded Melma this time, like I can't do all of that? Mom, stop babying me, I a gorgeous grownup already.

Mask on, face shield on, alcohol ready. I went to school, unwillingly, but duh, what can I even do? At least this is better than lying down in a hospital bed 24/7. #OUSTCOVID.

After a whole tiring day in school. My friends and I decided to eat and hang out. Yes, you read it right, I have friends. How can this gorgeous woman survive without anyone to gossip to.

We were dropped off by my driver at an expensive restaurant. We ate foods, of course, what else can we eat...

As I was eating my early dinner, I saw a karaoke place, a perfect place to enjoy a boring day. Oh yeah, this is fire baby.

We went to the karaoke place I saw and filled up the contact tracing thingy. This is my friend's family's business so we got a VVIP. Don't worry about us, and again #COVIDSUCKS. We started the party. We sang, danced, and partied. We want to enjoy this night without worrying about everything. School, problems, family, shitty sickness, etc.

Girl, with this, I don't look like dying. Of course, I should not look like one. Ahuh no, too gorgeous for that.

After partying, I sat down due to tiredness at the same time enjoyment. How I wish this can be my everyday life, but of course, no. The universe love me so damn much and gave me this condition. Dude, if I can just stop my heart from beating easily, oh hell, I'll do it in an instant.

As I was thinking about this things. I saw through the window a very familiar man, a very very familiar man. I can see him from afar. I can see him. I can see my dad.. with his kids.

I don't know what went on me but I seriously want to talk to him, and hug him. Or just look at him face to face. So I tried asking for permission..

'Dad' I texted, 'I can see you right now, can I come to you?' I texted again. I saw him getting his phone, reading my message and typing a reply. Woah, here I come daddy.

I was about to go near him when my phone vibrated..

'No, I'm with my kids.' He replied. Oh man, stabbing me with a knife could've been better.

'Just one minute, dad. Just one minute.' I feel so desperate and pitiful, but no, I am not pitiful. Never in my gorgeous existence.

'Stop texting me, I gotta go.' He replied. Okay, at least I tried.

I went home after feeling this painful tiredness. I just wanna sleep and never wake up. Kidding.

I woke up in the middle of the night, heavily breathing, almost unable to breathe. I rang the alarm connected to my mom's bedroom, still catching my breath.

My mom went to me, almost crying, while calling my doctor. She gave me oxygen and hugged me while waiting for my doctor. She's crying, I can see and feel it. But she's hiding it so I didn't bother.

Few minutes passed by and my breathing is going back to normal. Also, my doctor is here. He is discussing things with my mom outside my room.

After they talked, I saw my mom doing her very best to avoid herself from crying. Mom, let it out.

"Audrey, did you tire yourself again?" My doctor started. "I told you to never tire yourself and always rest. You don't have a strong heart for that. I'm always reminding you to keep on monitoring your heart as well as your medication, are you doing it?"

"Doc, I'm always drinking my meds. I'm following everything you say. I just wanna have fun. I'm still a teen, Doc." I replied. I never intended to make them, especially my mom, worry. I just wanna be happy. I just wanna experience normal teenage life. Can't I do that, even just for a short period of time?

After fixing everything here, my oxygen, my meds, and everything. My doctor went home. My mom went to me and sat beside my bed.

"Mom, I saw Dad today," I told her, smiling. "..with his kids."

I laughed, bitterly.

"Mom, I guess Dad isn't worthy of my begging, hmm?" I am seriously preventing my tears to fall down. "I never felt him, as my dad. I asked him for a minute. I just need a minute, just a minute, Mom. Is a minute that important that I, his daughter, isn't worth sparing for?" And my tears betrayed me.

"Audrey, love. Your dad loves you, he loves you so much. He may not show it but—" I cut her off. Calmly. Bitterly.

"Here you go again, Mom, e. Mom, Dad's with his own family already. But here you are, telling me lies for me not to hold grudges towards him. Mom, I know and have seen everything. Stop convincing me with the things that I, myself, know. Stop fooling me by means of defending Dad, Mom." I cried. Oh my precious eyes, I'm sorry.

"Aud—"

"Mom, I'm tired. Can I sleep for now?" I smiled at her, painfully.

She helped me lie down and kissed my forehead, "Goodnight, Darling." She bid and turned the lights off.

...

I opened my eyes as I heard someone whispering, "Do not tell Aleanor, Leandro. I do not want my pure daughter's heart ache because of this idiotic information." a woman said, in a very strange and old accent.
