Next day

I woke up feeling very heavy. As I lift up my left arm, a sudden pain filled me in and I almost lost my breath. I quickly put it down as I try to breathe calmly to ease the pain. It took me a few deep breaths before the pain I felt completely disappeared and that's the only time I open my eyes.

I just look up into the ceiling with an empty mind. I think nothing at all.

The pain that I felt earlier... I really don't know what it caused. I don't even know if I dream last night or I just simply slept even though... There is something missing that I cannot explain what it was.

I just feel that there is something that I totally forget and I couldn't remember anything about it.

A knock at my door cuts off my staring before I heard my mom's voice.

"Are you awake, Anne?"

"Yes mom." I answered before she entered my room.

"Are you alright now?"

I slowly sit up before I answered. "I'm fine, mom."

She went beside me and checks my forehead. "I'm glad your fine." She said. "But still, you need to rest more and I think you can go back to school by tomorrow." She added that I just nodded and smiled.

In silence, I look at my laptop blankly. I don't know why I open it or for what reason, I just open it and just look at it until the screen turned black.

"So, what are you trying to do with it, Anne?"

"Chaddy!" I surprisingly answered. "What are you doing here? And why did you suddenly enter my room without even knocking?"

"Visiting you since you're excused for two days, and I knocked few times but you didn't seem to hear so I asked your mom's permission first before I finally entered your room. And as what I saw, you seem too busy thinking nothing." He answered and sits across me. "So, now I'm thinking if your fine or not yet?"

"I'm fine, thank you." I answered and he just stares at me intently. "What?" I irritably asked.

"It looks like you're still not well."

"I am!" I exclaimed.

"I don't see it." He answered as he shrugs off.

I look at him before I heave a sigh and close my laptop. "I don't know what is going on with me, Chaddy." I finally surrender and tell him what is going on with my mind.
