Fix Me

{7}

°。°。°。°

I munched my sandwich softly, afraid I would sound too loud in this awkward silence my friend's surrounded me in. Agreeing to spend an evening with them at the park, ought to bring in some drama. Should have known.

"Still..." Priya trailed.

"You spilled an entire glass of wine all over his shirt. His white shirt!" Jazz emphasized. I rolled my eyes, for probably the tenth time in that hour. I didn't even have to explain to my parents why there was a vodka stench on me. And here I am trying to prove myself in front of a bunch of monkeys. Oh the karma.

"Just leave it-" I started before Jazz added.

"AND OMG HE CALLED YOU PRINCESS AGAIN!" she squealed. I mentally slapped my forehead. She wasn't seriously going to start this again.

"In front of a huge crowd too!" Priya added excitedly. And there you have it, I rolled my eyes. The eleventh time this hour!

"He's just playing with me... I think that's obvious."

I grabbed my food wrappers and threw it in the trash can next to us. My friends begged me to stay longer with them but I just... left. I got into my Volvo and sped away from life's miseries.

A bunch of friends who really want to hook you up with some guy.

And...

A hot model rich guy who wants to make your life hell.

Definitely enough trouble for me in a lifetime. I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw a man laying in a pool of blood, there was also a suitcase lying beside him. I rushed out of my car to see what happened. It was getting dark and nobody was around on the street. So I hauled the man into my car.

He was still alive and I rushed to the hospital. He seemed to be in his late forties. Maybe rich too based on how he was dressed. I panicked in front of the emergency room waiting for the doctors to tell me if he was okay.

。。。

I sprang out of my chair as I saw a doctor walk towards me. "Is he alright sir?" I asked.

"He's actually fine, he has a concussion and a fractured arm, otherwise he should get better soon," he replied.

"Can I go see him?"

"Sure, but don't disturb if he is sleeping."

I nodded my head and excitedly walked into the room. The man was sitting on the bed awake. He seemed to still be processing the fact that he was in a hospital with injuries. I slowly walked to the angel so that he could see me. I handed him the suitcase I had found with him earlier.

"I believe this belongs to you."

I took the suitcase from my hand and inspected whatever was inside. To my surprise the suitcase was stuffed with cash.

"Thank you dear, this money was for my business deposits, I'm glad you returned it to me." he thanked. I smiled, the thought he was rich was correct.

"Are you alright sir? Would you like me to inform your family?" I asked.

"No dear, I'm grateful for what you have done for me, this is plenty." he took a pause, "May I know what your name is?"

"Vatsala Aravindan."

With that I gave him a big smile before exiting the hospital room.
