8. Two worlds

Anna POV:

I tried to open my eyes but it was so hard to even do that. I tried to move my hands but I can't, it felt so heavy and numb at the same time.

Dumbstruck, I tried to move my body but it was like a log. God!!!! What is this? What's wrong with me?😭. Just then, I heard my mom's voice, she was talking with someone. I felt so emotional that tears just keep falling. I missed her voice so much 😭😢.

I slowly opened my eyes. I looked at my surrounding. Wait! Where am I?

I noticed the monitor, IV pumps and tubes with syringe bandaged in my soft hand😱. The smell of disinfectants, Oh God! I am now 100% sure that I am in a hospital.

Suddenly the accident flashed through my head. I get out of the bed. I felt dizzy. Steve? Steve? Wait, where's Steve? Then, I look in the mirror in front of me.

Huh!!!😵 Is that me? I don't know but I have changed. I must be getting crazy, I must be because of that damn accident 🥴.

I think I am getting taller. I was tall for my age even before but now I am much taller than I normally was.

Shit!!! How long have I been stuck in this creepy place? Scared as I was, I started screaming 😂.

My mom and Nanny May came to hold me while my dad ran out to call the doctors and nurses. I hugged my mom tightly screaming and crying 😭 as if there was no tommorow.

The doctors and his assistants came rushing towards me. They tried to hold me down, restraining me, they shot me with tranquilizer since they had no other choice.

I slowly lost my conciousness. I think the tranquilizer last for about two hours. Then, I slowly regained my conciousness.

I heard my dad talking with someone. It was probably the doctor. My dad sounded so worried. I had never heard my dad's voice like that before.

He asked, Is she alright? Then, the doctor assured him that I was fine. I couldn't wake up before because of the trauma and I lost the will to wake up but now everything's fine.

My physical health was perfectly healthy but the trauma could still haunt me in the future. I could be discharged after two days, the doctor told my dad. My dad seems to be really happy hearing the news.

My dad came to sit beside me and wrap his hands around mine. He kissed my hands and said 'Thank you so much for coming back, sweetie' 😘. His tears fell on my hands.

I couldn't hold back anymore so I woke up from bed and hugged him tightly. I whispered, ' Thank you Dad and I am so sorry for making everyone worried. I wiped my tears and asked my Dad how long I have been in the hospital?

My parents were careful with their words because I could become traumatized with their words if it is related with the accident. But my dad decided to tell me and said three years.

I gasp 😱, then my mouth fell open with shocked. What!!!! 3 years????

So that's why I grew taller. 😂 Then, after sometime, my mom came running towards me with red eyes and tears😭🤧 and she hugged tightly she said, 'Sweetheart, I missed you so so much'💞💕.

All I could think about was Steve. Where is Steve now? Is he alright? I wondered how tall he had gotten 🤭? Is he still our neighbour? Why is that damn smart ass handsome is not visiting me? 😪Is not this their hospital? I heard from Mom that Mrs. and Mr. Wills didn't take any amount during my whole stay in the hospital.

I am such a bad daughter right? Thinking about a guy when my parents are worried sick about me😅.

Could not control my curiosity anymore, I asked my mom and dad, Where's Steve? Is he okay? Then, they remained silent and looked at each other. Why were they silent? Is there something wrong with Steve? What is it?

So I yelled and break the silence demanding an answer. And my voice began to break...just tell me what happened to him....😭😭😭.

My Mom held out her hands and holding my hand, she said softly, Dear, Steve went to boarding school. We don't want you to be sad. Then, I pouted angrily, Why???? Why did he went to a boarding school?

My dad said, 'It was hard for him as well, dear. Steve kept on blaming himself saying that what happened to you was his fault. Every time he walked the path where the accident happened, he blamed and resent himself a lot.

He even sent his favorite dog to the care center so that you shall never get hurt in the future. While you were in a coma, he came to see you everyday staying by your side.

He stopped going to school. He keeps on begging for forgiveness even when he didn't do anything wrong. So, his parents and we had no other choice but to send him to a boarding school.

We thought it will be better if he had a change of environment. Of course he didn't want that but in the end, he had to compromise.'

When I heard my dad saying that, my heart felt like it was totally ripped. I couldn't stop my tears. Oh my dear!😭 How can this happen to us? Steve must have suffered so much 😭.

I was so happy and excited to be able to go to the same school with him but I heard that he will enter senior school soon, so I just wanted to cherished the little time we had but now 3 years had passed.

3 damn years !!!!! 😖😠 But why????? Is this fate???? To be separated and missed opportunities all the time. I felt like we were two worlds apart right there but at least we were still under the same sky.

My parents hugged me and comforted me. I asked them to let me see him just once. Please, Mom Dad, let me see him just once, Is that alright? I miss him so much 🤧.

Finally, they agreed. Yay!!!!🥳 Then, I couldn't find Nanny May anymore so I asked about where she is. They told me that her son had called her to come home immediately for emergency, so she left the hospital in a hurry just before.

I wondered what happened to her family. I hope nothing serious happened. Ahhh...... I want to see Steve so much now. 🥰🤭💕
