Chapter 3:

*Back to the present day*

Alex came by my side and showed me a bracelet. It belonged to my mom. I grabbed his hand and stroked the bracelet. I closed my eyes and pictured her wearing it. My conscious arrived and I stopped my mind from going back to the past.

"I used to be with her, we used to be treated together, she's my guardian angel, your mom saved my life" Alex said while staring at the bracelet. I smiled at thought of how some people still hold her memories. I wouldn't hold it alone anymore.

"What did she do to you? How come she saved you? She was so sick she couldn't even save herself." A tears slipped down my face. Why is this happening right now. I don't want to know. I don't want to face the past. I have to run away.

I didn't wait for Alex to reply. I took my bag and ran. The thought about my mom saving someone was unbearable. She was so fragile she couldn't even help herself. I cried while running, I was heading nowhere. I wanted her to save me. I wanted anyone to save me.

My phone made a sound. I just received a text. Since when do I receive texts? I opened my phone and it was a number.

" Laura it's Alex. I'm sorry I freaked you out. I got your phone number from James. Laura listen to me, give me a chance to return the favor. I want to repay what Sandy did to me. Please let me help you. Please Laura."

The text shocked me. Not because how much he wanted to help me, but because he spoke to me. The fact that there might be someone who knows what I am going through scares the hell out of me. I don't want anyone knowing how weak I am.

The thing is that my wounds aren't fixable. They're scars. They'll never fade away. They're carved in my body forever. But I have to try. Somebody has to help me. Maybe it'll be Alex?

"I'll give you a chance. I need to be fixed. I need the demons inside me to leave. I want to be brand new." I replied to his text.

"Meet me at Carl's cafe"

I arrived at the cafe and looked around. His dark brown hair was lighting from the sun. His eyes twinkled once he saw me. What's the thing about this boy? What will happen between us?
Slow down Laura, nobody said anything about the existence of an 'us'.

"I'm sorry I freaked you out" he said with a smile.

His smile was nothing like any other smile I saw. His smile was holding pain yet it was real. His smile made the corner of your lips magnetize to your cheeks and form into a smile.

"It's okay; I want to know everything." I replied.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Let's enjoy the life that we have left. We don't have so much to live."

I wanted such optimism in my life. I wanted him in my life. I shouldn't want anyone. But the thought of having him in my life might change it all.

It was time to go home. After he parked in my garage, he stared at me and smiled. He held my hand and started talking

"You hold a piece of her, I can sense that. Your smile is exactly similar to hers. You're so pretty I can't even explain. It may seem like too much but Sandy told me a lot about you. I fell for her words. You seem like an angel in a world of demons."

A pulled my hand and stared at his eyes.
His pretty greenish eyes. I smiled. I couldn't do anything. I just smiled.
