Chapter 90

(A few hours earlier)

Pain.

That was the only thing I felt when I tried to move. My eyes were glued shut and no matter how hard I tried, they didn't open. I tried to roll to my side but a jolt of pain shot up my spine. I groaned. But no sound came from my mouth. My throat was parched.

With much difficulty, I cracked my eyes open. The room was too dark for me to see anything. I twisted and almost fell off the bed. But I managed to sit down and lean on the bedside. For some reason, I was exhausted. I had a dull ache in the back of my head and a burning sensation in my chest.

"Mamma..." I groaned and looked around.

The lighting outside the window wasn't bright. I assumed I was still tired from last night. I found my phone on the table and flicked it open to see the time. 5:35 PM.

It was still early. How did I wake up earlier than my alarm? I tried to stand up but my legs were shaking. Why was my whole body aching? I huffed in frustration. But I needed water. It was just 5:35. It was early in the morning and either way I didn't have any-

Wait.

I bought the phone closer to my face to see the time again.

5:37 PM

PM? How is that possible? Did I sleep through the day? I unlocked it and was bombarded with so many notifications. 134 messages. 46 calls.

I stopped reading after that. The calls went on till 2 days ago. I did not speak to anyone the previous day. How were there missed calls? It was then that I saw the day.

Thursday.

What the fuck? Shouldn't it be Wednesday? I gave my exam just yesterday. I opened my messaging app. All messages and calls were on Wednesday and Thursday.

My phone fell out of my hands. I rubbed my face and looked at the bed and then around the room.

Was I sleeping for two days straight?

I jolted and stood up. Big mistake. The pain that shot through my chest was nothing compared to the one in my head. I caught the table just in time before I fell down. Why? How? What was happening?

In the little light that my eyes had adjusted to, I saw the glass bottle on the table. My medicine. And it was empty. I remember there were four of it left earlier. Why was it empty? An unsettling feeling filled me. Did I take all of them last night? No, two days ago? It was possible.

I needed to go to the hospital. As quickly as possible. I was already told not to take them two days in a row. And I had taken four of them together. But how do I go when I can't even move properly. Drowsiness was overtaking my senses again.

Shit.

What if I fell asleep again? I was already losing my consciousness. I picked my phone and dialed the first number on the caller's list. The phone did not even ring once completely beside someone picked it up.

" "Hello? Noona? Thank g-"

"H-help me." I wasn't sure if my voice went through.

"Noona?! Noona, what hap-"

But before I could say anything further, my vision slowly turned into tunnel and the phone slipped from my hands.

"Come on sweetheart, how much longer?"

Jay asked Leah in such a normal tone that no one would guess he was talking to an unconscious girl. Two days had passed already and she still hadn't woken up.
