Safe Haven (Original Chaelisa Fanfic)

Chapter 26

LISA POV

Four days had passed and I'm still here at the hospital, they wouldn't let me go. I'm still under observation and making sure that my body wouldn't go crazy again.

I'm getting bored every morning until afternoon whenever the unnies and Chae are not visiting me. It's my fault really, Chaeyoung really wanted to stay with me this week but I couldn't let her skip classes just for me.

She promised to visit right after classes are over, she uses her black and pink bike now on the way to school, hospital and home. She's still having a hard time being in a car and all and the blame is all on me. I was the one behind the wheel and if should have been careful enough, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Her weekly appointment to the therapist made her improve, she can go inside a car without having a panic attack but whenever it starts to move she immediately panic. We still have a long way to go.

I sighed as I made my way out of my room with my crutches as I am still having a hard time to walk because of the operation. But I made a progress today to see the whole hospital to cure boredom.

As I made my way to the elevator, smiling and greeting every patients and doctor that I encounter, I swear they knew me well here. I wanted to go to the courtyard this time of day cause it's not too hot and not too chilly, the weather is just perfect.

The elevator door opened and I went in, I pressed ground floor and waited. The elevator stopped at third floor and someone just caught my eye, there was this little girl who I haven't seen before enter the elevator she was carrying this small guitar that fit for a kid like her, she was sporting a blue shirt, jeans and vans shoes with her hair tied up in a bun, so cute. But there's something about her I couldn't point out.

She must feel me staring at her when she looked up to me and smiled widely waving her tiny hands "Hello!" she greeted happily and I smiled at her high fiving the little girl. The more I looked at her the more deja vu I was feeling.

And the more I think of it, the more my head starts to ache and my sight being blurry it felt like I'm being suffocated in this elevator. Fortunately the door opened and I am now at the ground floor, the little kid waved goodbye to me as she walk separate path.

I rushed to the courtyard and sat by the tree, I lean my head on the tree as I try to lessen the throbbing in my head. I know this feeling, am I having a flashback? Bring it on, if it means I get to remember Chaeng.

A week here in Korea and already I'm feeling homesick, my parents decided that it's good for us to have a family bonding at the mall but here I am lost.

I tried to get some help from the guards but I can't speak the language yet. All I know is how to say hello. This mall is so big that I didn't know where I came from. I tried not to panic like my dad always told me to as I trace my steps I went down the escalator.

But later realize that the movie theater was at the top floor, I'm to tired to keep using the escalator so I find the elevator and went there.

There was this girl same age as me, who looked so scared, we were the only ones here in the elevator so I tried to communicate.

"Hello." I said to the girl who is looking down at her shoes. She looked up to be and I noticed her flushed face with tears threatening to fall. I immediately went to her side and hug her. She looked surprised but at the same time relieved.

"I'm Lisa." I said in english, I'm not sure if she'll understand me but I don't care. "Hello. I'm Roseanne." my smile grew wider as I realize that she can speak english. I got excited that I start to ask her questions.
