Chapter 14
“Alessia? Are you listening? Are you okay?” It was his voice.
I opened my eyes but I could still hear it. Everything still haunts me even when I’m looking at his blue worried eyes.
“Are you okay?”
I shook my head consecutive times and sobbed.
“He shot the gun! He already shot the gun!” I cried.
He caress my hair but I’m still panicking and crying. Thinking if my mom was okay.
“Shh. . . It’s okay. I’m right here.”
“No! Mom’s not okay! She has a bullet in her body! She has bullets!” I shouted, begging him to believe me.
“I’m a doctor, okay? I can treat your mom.”
“She. . . she loathed me! She loathed me because I couldn’t protect her! I’m selfish! I’m useless! I’m a bad person!”
He hugged me tightly while I sobbed.
“It’s okay, my baby. You’re not a bad person. You’re a hero for surviving, okay?” He then rubbed my back.
“Everyone loves hero but why don’t mom?” I slowly mumbled.
“She loves you, okay? You’re a lovable person. Always remember that.”
“But she left me. She left me because she hates me.”
He sighed and loosened his hug to see my face. And then he kissed my forehead.
“Then learn to love the person who loves you not the person who hates you. I’m right here, my baby.”
I sobbed and hugged him tightly once again as he caress my hair.
I’m sick of being emotional. When will this end?
“Babe. . .”
“Rhiana, leave.”
“I did not do anything wrong!”
“Just leave.”
“No.”
He sighed and loosened his hug on me to face me while I bowed my head. I forgot that someone’s here. I felt embarrass.
“Are you okay?” He softly asked.
I nodded.
He tucked the strands of my hair behind my ear and lifted my chin.
“I-I’m. . .” sorry for being a burden.
“That’s good. Let’s eat.” Then he stood up, holding my hands.
I bit my lower lip when he prepared a chair for me. I sat on it and looked at my fingers, still not ready to see how her face will judge me as a person.
“Crazy.” I heard her whisper.
Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Don’t cry, Alessia. You’re being too much.
“She’s really crazy and weird.” As much as I don’t want to hear it, feels like she’s intentionally doing that.
I know. You don’t have to say it. I know I’m not normal and shit. It hurts.
At my peripheral vision, I saw him giving me a bowl in front of me but I didn’t lift my head because I’m too ashamed of myself.
“Alessia?” He softly called.
A tear once again fell.
I feel like I don’t belong in this table. I’m not normal and I feel like I don’t deserve to be with normal people like them. I feel like an outcast.
