LINGLING POV

I took Freen's phone that night and messaged Orm from her phone as she fell asleep once again! Wonder what else I'll find out.

Lingling: Hey it's me ling, my phone broke. Call me asap!

With that I left the house and got into the car to speak to Orm.

"Hey babe"

"Orm im really sorry but I don't want to come back to Thailand"

"Wait what? why?"

"I got a job opportunity here, I wanna take it plus the salary is really high" I say to her as I try to hold back tears

"But you said that Freen has been sleeping the whole time and that you were bored and you were dying to come back" she complains

"Today we went out, she's not being lazy anymore, we had a good day today baby look I'm really sorry but I don't think I'm coming back for a long time"

"I support you ling with this job opportunity but you can get 100's of jobs down here in Thailand, you aren't in the middle of nowhere, it's fricking Thailand, I don't think your thinking this through"

"I want to stay here Orm"

"And what about me?"

I take a deep breath

"I'll come down and visit you"

"Visit me? am I a caged animal that you'll just come and visit me? we had plans to get married, what about all of that? What the fuck is wrong with you lingling? Are you nuts? First Freen broke Becky's and now your about to actually break my heart" she says with anger in her voice, she's never spoken to me like that

"I'm not trying to break your heart Orm, I can't help it, I want to stay here"

"Fine stay in New Zealand, I know it's that Freen who probably influenced you, she took you New Zealand with her and she left her wife and now you want to leave your girlfriend weird coincidence isn't it?"

"I know Becky's your bestfriend but you don't need to hate Freen for them splitting up, i didn't mention splitting up with you Orm I love you"

"If you loved me then you'd be here, we had plans to settle down lingling Kwong" she says firmly

"We have to put that on hold for now I need to sort my career out" I lied and I felt so bad for lying to my other half but if Orm finds out she wouldn't be able to keep it from Becky.

And if Becky finds out then Freen will literally stab me.

"Put that on hold? i can't believe you're even saying this? you're ridiculous, if you don't come back to Thailand then I don't want to do this long distance rubbish"

"But Orm i-" I say and realised she's hanged up the phone on me

I get back into the house whilst using Freen's phone, i didn't sleep the whole night and its currently 6.00, I checked Freen's messages and it was from 'Doctor Nop'

Doctor Nop: Hello Freen, you missed your yesterday's appointment, I understand that things may be a bit difficult with the heavy medication you are taking so I have set you up an appointment for 6.30 tomorrow.

This stupid woman, she missed her appointment how dare she. I'm too soft on Freen and I actually need to put my foot down.

"Get up you have an appointment" I gently nudge her

I rush to her cupboard to pull out clothes as she slowly starts waking up

Then she slowly walks to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

She didn't even speak the whole time, the whole car journey she slept, but I made her take her medication and she was exhausted.

Once we head to the doctors, I waited outside whilst the doctors injected her, examined her.

Doctor Nop had told me she's becoming anorexic and that she's not going to make it at the rate she's going. That terrified me, Freen has always been slim, she got worried once that she was getting a bit big but over the days I've never seen someone drop so much weight in my life. It was so scary.

I entered the examination room and saw Freen completely naked whilst a female doctor had checked her.

Her ribs were so visible, her collarbones were coming out of her literally I was terrified, Freen didn't even look recognisable, her body had changed colour.

"Enjoying the view you little shit"

Freen laughed

"I think I could beat you in a fight now" I laughed back

"Don't underestimate me, I may be skinny but I can still throw hands"

Freen fake punches as the nurse laughs

Once hearing the results from Nop and hearing what he had to say I made him take my number, then I took Freen with me to get my phone repaired, I wanted the updates Freen chose to ignore them but I won't.

From then I made Freen fight every single day and guess what? She was getting better.

"Because you've been doing so well, I've decided to treat you" I chuckle

"Treat me?"

"Reward you my babygirl, my little rockstar"

"Oh no what have you got in plan?" Freen looks at me curiously

"We going Hawaii baby"

"HAWAII?" Freen screams

"Yes and you know what we'll do their 'we'll live like there's no tomorrow" i say to her as if we were in a movie which makes her drop her head back and laugh at my cringeness

Freen's eating had gone slightly better, I wouldn't say it's improved but she has been eating regularly and I have an alarm for her medication.

Orm and I got back together as well, she forgave me and told me she's waiting for me, although I'm dying to tell her the reason, I have to be patient and hope it comes out one day because I know Orm is secretly mad at me but she's trying to keep it together.
