Let Him Love You First

After leaving everything behind, Zoey needs to go home and face all she have left. She thought time can heal all wounds but after reuniting with her friends, she has to face her mortal nemesis as well as her ex boyfriend. Little did she know that there is a guy who is watching her from a far that will help her mend her shuttered heart. --- To: America Message: You know what? If you thought that Zoey was wrong for treating you badly, wouldn't it be better for the two of you to sit down, relax and talk? Remember that you've been friends since childhood. Reply: Earl it's easy to say but hard to do. Yes! We've been considering each other as best of friends but why did she decide to believe other people's hearsay? For their seven years of friendship, Zoey could say that America is a hard-headed person. Zoey pretended to be someone just to have a decent conversation with her. All she wanted was to know the truth. It started when one of her classmates saw both America and Michael, Zoey's boyfriend, at the mall. At first, when she heard about this, she thought that what was the deal of seeing them? What if they were buying some stuff together? She naïvely thought that it would be better than her best friend was on good terms with her boyfriend. In that way, she can help and understand them if they were fighting. But all of those thoughts disappeared in an instance when her classmate showed her a picture wherein they caught in the act of kissing and holding each other's hands while buying Cinema Tickets. She dialed America's phone number and tried to ask where she was last weekend when someone saw them together. America answered her calmly, "I was at home sleeping. Why? You knew that Mom was mad at me, and I grounded and forbad going outside last weekend, right?" After she had heard her reply, she thought that her response was like a big slap on her face; she knew that she was lying because her friend's evidence was authentic. The photo has a date on it, and it was impossible for anyone to edit or change the said photo because she used a film camera. Zoey thought of it before she called Michael and asked the same question. After Michael had answered her phone call and heard her question, his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat. Did Zoey found out about them? He tried to calm himself first before answering, "Babe I've told you that Dad was still mad at me and ordered me to stay at home and that was the reason I couldn't pick you up after your ballet lesson." Little did he know that his answer was exactly the same as what America has said to Zoey? Zoey started to have a doubt about them. After that week, Zoey found more about their illicit romance. They indeed are having an affair behind her. When most of her friends tried to convince to break it up with him, Zoey finally decided to do it. She then again called and asked him to meet her at the park near our village. When he arrived she immediately said, "Mike, let's end this." At that moment, she was already shredding her tears as she was asking him to end their relationship. Mike wanted to hold her hand but before he even had the chance to grab her left hand Zoey already stepped backward to avoid him. "Z I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong. I know I wronged you but please don't this to me. I was tempted, I seduced. I don't like nor love America. Babe, please don't say that." Who would have thought that Michael has the audacity to say that? Zoey was confused about what to believe; she didn't know if Michael was telling the truth or if it was another set of lies. But before she turned around and leaves, she took aback when she saw him kneeling and crying on the ground while asking for her forgiveness. She took them back her words.

A hunk and a goddess

Michael placed Zoey behind the car and starts driving to the nearest hospital. For the first time in his life, he felt this strange sensation when he saw Zoey collapsing in front of him. Thoughts such as what if e might lose her forever start engulfing his mind.

His speed already reached the limit allowed on the main roads of the metro that is why after a while of rushing hurriedly his vehicle is now being followed by some traffic officers and America.

"Dammit why today?" he silently hissed under his breath. He thought that Zoey is more important than his record so Michael continues driving above the limit. Good thing was that despite that they are conquering the main roads of the metro at that time traffic is not as bad as the usual. In fact, there are fewer cars on the road as if the population of the metro is less than a hundred thousand.

Shortly, Michael halts in front of the emergency hall and start howling for help. "Help! Help me!" Hearing his shouts, nurses run towards them and aided the lady lying on the stretcher. "What happens to her?" One of the nurses asked Michael who was pushing the stretcher forward. "I don't know she just collapses right before my eyes."

Due to that Zoey doesn't have any external injury, they placed her to the ward, they examined her and also inquired her personal information with the help of Michael.

"What is the patient's name?" asked by one of the nurses on the nurse station.

"Zoekella Alcantara" Michael answered all her inquiries regarding Zoey's identity.

Zoey was still unconscious when Eya approached her bedside. At first, Eya didn't recognize Zoey because she is preoccupied to the condition rather than who is the patient she is aiding.

Eya lifted the information sheet of Zoey and read all the information they've gathered when she decided to see who was her patient. On her first sight, she thought that the patient seems familiar to her and she even took her second look and read the patient sheet before she confirmed to herself that it is indeed Zoey lying there. "Zoey?"

Eya rescanned and reexamined Zoey to make sure that her friend is okay under her care. After checking her out she pulled her phone inside her gown and dialed Zick's number to inform him that his sister is in their hospital.

To be honest, Eya and Zick are not the same as how they used to be. Eya, on her part, was so clueless about the change of heart of her best friend towards her, so when an opportunity comes she always grabs it to have something to say to him.

Before Zick always answers her call after two to three rings but since the change of heart occurs Zick sometimes missed her calls and always transferred to his voice mail in which he never answers back. And of course, as what she expected Zick didn't answer her back that is why she decided to call his secretary to inform him.

"Hello, Lea. Can you tell Doctor Alcantara that his sister is in the hospital? Thank you" It hurts her whenever Zick missed her calls whether it is intentional or accidental.

"Miss Zoey? Okay, Doctor Dolores. I will immediately inform Doctor A about his sister."

After hanging up the phone in the nurse station Eya returned to Zoey's bedside and saw that another familiar person was sitting beside her bed holding her hand.

"Michael?" Eya asked. Eya is two years senior to Zoey and Michael. At first, she wasn't sure was this man guarding her patient friend. Of course, Eya knew their history in which also adds to her confusion of why is he here.

"Ate Eya! How is Zoey? Is she okay?" Michael let go of Zoey's hand and approached her. Confusion is still written in her face but as a doctor, she still has to tell or reassured that the patient is in a normal condition.

"Zoey is okay. Sorry but that is all I can say to you."

"But I'm the one who brought her here." Michael rebuts.

"Yes, I saw it on her record but you're not a family member. You're not even her friend to start with." Eya was also one of those people who hate Michael guts after all of what he has done to Zoey. Which leads her to try to be independent at a young age in a foreign country.

"I'm the only family member that you can consider right now." Michael's voice raised an octave due to his frustration to this stupid hospital rules.

"And who told you that?" Suddenly a baritone voice emanates the ward area where Zoey resides. Zick covered his chest with his arms while slowly approaching his sister's bed. "Since when did you became our sibling, Cortez?" with his intimidating stare Michael slowly stepped backward to Zoey's bed.

"Kuya Zick. I didn't know that you work here. Sorry for being too pushy Ate Eya and Kuya Zick." The raging lion a while ago became a timid sheep after Zick appearance.

Nurses and audience saw the mini-drama skit that was playing on Area 199, the area where Zoey's bed is.

Some these nurses who didn't saw how Zick's sister looks like suddenly had an itching urge to peek to the sleeping maiden on that bed because all those who saw Zoey were all amazed about the genes of the Alcantara family because everyone is saying that Zoey is like a goddess with a part of being an angel face.

If they thought that Zick is a hunk that everyone will die for, his sister is like a goddess that they will worship too.

Others, of course, will not disregard how Michael looks like. They will score him with an A grade from his handsomeness but Doctor A is still their A++++++++++++++ grader for them.

Zick is one of the reason why nurse applicants gets higher and higher every year. Also resigners are as low as five a year.

Goodness! Nurses in Saint Raphael the Archangel really knows their priorities.
