Trouble in Paradise (BrightWin Fanfic)

25

WIN'S POV

We decided to watch Bright's favorite movie as we waited. Time flew. We were expecting him to be done when the movie ended but the doctor informed us that there were complications during the surgery and they might take longer. 

Anxiety was creeping in me, I was breaking down deep inside but all I could feel is my heart racing and it was getting harder to breathe. 

"I-I'm gonna sit right there." I told them. 

I went to the farthest chair in that hallway trying to figure out how to calm myself and my thoughts down. I tried distracting myself as I scroll through my social media applications. A travel page caught my attention and as I browsed, I listed down several things I wanted to do with Bright. I sighed. 

"Win, we're gonna go grab something to eat for mom, you want anything?" Namtan interrupted my scrolling. 

"I'm alright. I might go head to their roof deck as well. I'll catch some air." I told her. 

She agreed and started walking away. I scrolled some more before deciding to keep my phone. I saw their mom still busy with some papers probably for Bright's hospitalization. I decided not to bother her. 

I went to the elevator and waited for it to open... There was a child inside, a little girl with a doll and she looked away when I entered. She was humming the song from Frozen when I noticed she wasn't getting off and the only button pressed was the roof deck as well. 

It kind of crept me at first because I sort of thought she might be a ghost... But she was very much alive... I didn't mind her at first but she ran out when the doors opened. 

I chased the kid with the fear of her falling off the edges but then I saw her in one corner staring at the sky crying...

"Hey..." I called her and she looked over me. 

"W-what do you need?" She said as she kept on crying. 

"What's wrong? Who are you with? Did you get lost?" I asked pulling out my handkerchief from my pocket. 

She cried and stared at the sky again before taking my handkerchief. 

"I lost my best friend today." She said. 

"Oh, what happened to your best friend?" I asked her. 

"She just fell while handing me my chocolate drink this morning then she wouldn't wake up, my nany had to go call the ambulance and then they said mommy was dead." She said and cried again. 

I was lost for words with the kid. She was so innocent. Sadness and Fear was triggered in me. Nobody else is dying... 

"Angel!" Someone called from the door. 

"I gotta go, mister. Take care!" The kid said. 

I felt really bad we didn't get to talk that much but above everything I could feel, I was scared. Scared of every possibility that will happen. The thoughts were suffocating, I gasped for air when I decided to look at the view.
