FALLING FOR YOU ..

XXVIII - I Am Sorry!

Richie's POV

The door slammed open and we rushed inside, Freen, Heng and me!

Nop turned his face, lost his balance and moved to the side with the impact of the first punch. Freen swung her hand once again, landing a strong punch on his nose, making him bleed. He fell to the floor with a thud and she sat on his torso, punching his face and head.

Heng tried to control her and I looked at Becky! My heart breaking into pieces. I know she needs Freen the most, than us. Tears streaming down her face and her dress torn.

"Freen...." -- I shouted and forcefully grabbed her hand. She gave me a fiery look.

"Please Freen... Becky needs you!" -- I begged and I could see the expression in her eyes changing from fury to concern.

She stood up and kicked his crotch, making him groan and whimper. Freen went to Becky, While me and Heng made him stand against the wall and gave our share to him left and right before handing him over to the police. 

Freen's POV

I stood by the bed and my breath is stuck inside me, seeing Becky on the bed. Her hair disheveled. Shirt torn and puffy red eyes with tears streaming down. I tried to lift her hand and it slipped and fell on the bed, like it has paralyzed. I shivered and broke into tears. I know I'm going to fall.

"Freen..... Hurry!.. Police will be here soon." -- Richie said to me, almost like yelling at me.

I took off my blazer made her wear it. Her body is heavy and slipping down.

"We are here! You are safe! We are here... I am here baby! All is fine! I'm here....." -- I held her close to my heart tightly and kissed on her forehead. I can feel Becky struggle to speak and move, but fails miserably. She closed her eyes and tears streamed down again.

"It's okay baby! Please relax!" -- I tried to calm her by kissing all over her face. I can taste her tears on my lips. I hate this. I hate this. I can't bear it.

"She isn't moving or speaking Richie!" -- I can hear the panic in Heng's voice. Richie looks so broken and Heng is holding his shoulder to support him.

"Khun... please let us handle it now! " -- Medics rushed in and asked me to give Becky to them. I'm not ready to give her to anyone. I don't trust anyone. Richie nodded to me to move and give permission and they took Becky from my lap. And shifted to a stretcher.

We followed them to the door and one last time, I turned around and punched Nop across the face who was standing in front of the police officers.

"Doctor what happened to her? Why isn't she moving? Why isn't she talking?" -- Richie's voice cracked and I took Beck's hand and kissed her knuckles. Seems like she is falling asleep. Her eyes are closed and she looks pale.

"From symptoms, she seems sedated. We need to do more tests to know the real condition. Her wrist is swollen; means it's injured at some point. We need to check for more bruises." -- Doctor checked her pulse and gave her a mask for oxygen support.

"Don't panic. She seems to have low oxygen level. It's just to help her only. Don't worry!" -- Doctor looked at our worried faces and ensured.

Third person POV

Freen was sitting in front of the emergency room along with Becky's family, her family and her friends.

"Freen.. All is good only. You were not late to reach her. You saved her. Calm down now!" -- Mr. Chankimha tried to talk to her in vain.

They have been sitting there for two hours and Freen did not open her mouth from the moment she entered the ambulance. Nam, Kade, Noey and Heng sat by her side. Nam was patting her hand, but nothing was calming down the older girl. Tears poured down and her shoulders shivered from sobbing.
