Our Past [COMPLETE]

#17 - Season 2

(Camila Cabello - Dream Of You)

"Who knows the secret tomorrow will hold?"

My footsteps were unsteady, a few more steps we arrived in the room where Alex was treated. My eyes fixed on an old woman who was there. Alex's mother.

Her eyes widened seeing me walking towards her. I also saw his father was there. They both accompany their son. Agnes and Rio were also there, talking.

"Laura, honey. It's been a while since I saw you." Her smile was so soft, I feel a mother's love. I hugged her, "Sorry I just came now." She nodded, telling me it's fine.

"Go inside, Alex just finished eating." I nodded and saw Agnes who was also smiling at me. Rio was so surprised to see me back.

"Shall I accompany you?" Mia asked.

I shook my head, "I'm going to go in myself." Suddenly, Rio's hand stopped me.

"You have to know one thing laura. Alex's memory is no longer what it used to be." My chest hurts to hear him, Will he also not recognize me? Am I just going to be a stranger to him?

"Don't worry, his memory isn't so bad at times." Her mother said trying to calm me down.

I opened the door to his room slowly, I found him who was lying. His eyes watched my every move. As I got closer, he just realized I was the one who came.

"Laura." His breathing was heavy as if he was breathing hard. I smiled slightly, sat next to him.

He smiled. His eyes looked so tired, I couldn't help but look at his hair was bald, his face was very pale, his lips didn't have color anymore, I saw his breath rising and falling, his body lying weak. His gaze wasn't as sharp as before, but it was clear my figure was visible in his eyes.

I held his hand slowly, my tears were dripping. I held his hand tightly and kissed it. Alex's other hand tried to reach my face, and wiped my tears.

"I'm sorry, Laura for hurting you." His voice was dim, so calming but also made me worry because his voice sounded so weak and broken.

My tears flowed so profusely, I cried all my tears. I didn't want to lose him, it hurts more than I cried a year ago.

"Hey, don't cry." He said, still smile and embrace me, making me fall into his arms. I cried incessantly. I felt I was used up with an arrow, and the arrow pierced my heart. Leave it smashed to pieces.

"You will forget me, Alex. You won't remember who I am to you, or all our memories, you will forget about how you felt for me. You will think of me as a stranger." I sound so devasvitated.

I looked into his beautiful eyes.

"I may forget, but not with my heart and feelings. They will always be with you. Whenever it is." He said then rubbed my head, "Come here." I slept next to him and continued to cuddle him. I knew not necessarily tomorrow he'd remember me.

"Don't cry, I'm here." He said as he slowly cleared his throat. "I always be with you, because I love you." He said again. "I've loved you since the moment you walked into my life. You bring light in the darkness of my world. When you nag me at a traffic light, that was my lowest point. I felt my world will end, my spirit was no longer alive. But, you were there and reminded me to live and move as much as possible. And don't waste the time that's still left for me."  I was sobbing.

"I like your short hair, you look cute." I felt him kiss my head and laugh softly.

"You changed, but not your feelings for me. I know it. The way you cry for me, it hurts me a lot. I'm trying my best to fight this disease so I can live longer and spend my days with you, Laura. Thank you for coming back."
