Be All Mine

Chapter 18: Never Lose Her

While Sid stayed in the hospital room with Mel the the rest of visiting hours.

"So, why exactly did I faint?" Asks Mel as she continues eating her food

"They said that you got overwhelmed with work, school and then what I told you. Plus, you were already having signs of a manic episode."

"What? You know about that?" Mel almost drops the jello she was eating.

"Yea. They said that you have not been taking your meds regularly," Sid mentioned as he adjusts his sitting position.

"Oh. I do not tell people that I don't know well about my bipolar one disorder, but I am not comfortable with sharing about that right now."

"Totally fine with me. I won't pressure you at anytime with anything you don't want to say or do," said Sid with a smile.

Mel starts to blush

He's honestly super adorable, but I cannot let that distract me from my studies
Mel thought as she finishes her food.

Sid looks at his watch.

"I gotta go since visiting hours are until 8p."

"Totally, thank you for visiting."

"Also, before I go. Here. This is important."

As soon as Sid stands up, nurse S enters the room."

"Dear, here are your nighttime meds," said Nurse S.

Sid assists with grabbing the food tray from Mel's bed.

"I guess I just have to swallow my pride," Mel said with a disgusted look on her face.

She looks at the eight medications that she has to take.

Man. Do I let someone that I barely know look at me take these meds, which shows a vulnerable side of me? Thought Mel.

"I will. Go now. " Sid stands up and grabs his jacket.

"No, wait," said Mel.

Sid remains seated.

Mel takes her medications and immediately drinks her water.

"There. I took them." Mel said with a sarcastic tone.

"Good job, dear." Nurse S leaves the room.

"Sorry, I just wanted to show a side of me that you've never heard or seen before. This means I trust you," Mel starts to have tears fall down her face. 

"Oh. Don't cry. Here." Sid grabs a tissue box next to the window.

Mel takes the tissue boxes and wipes them off her face.

If only.. Wait.. Not now. Sid thought as he looks at Mel.

"I'm going now," said Sid

"Wait," Mel held her hand. "Wasn't there something you wanted to give me before you leave?"

"Right." Sid scratches his head. "I will be leaving back to Manila tomorrow, but know that you can always contact me whenever. Also, there's a in your bag."

"I'm feeling a bit dizzy from my meds. I'll read the letter when I get the chance." Mel starts to adjust her  sleeping position. "Bye Sid."

Sid smiles trying to hold back his tears. "Bye." Soon he turns around and wipes off the tears from his face with his jacket.

"I see that she's very special to you," said Nurse S.

" Yea. She is." Sid continues to tear.

"Here's one thing. Never lose her." Nurse S told Sid then went back to work.

"Thank," Sid walks out of the unit  I vow not to harm her no matter what Sid thought.
