Five days, five days I've been in this hospital , five days I haven't showered, five days and Jake is still unconscious.
I sighed before praying to God for the 30th time this week.
I wasn't really stinking but the feeling of wearing the same clothes make me feel slightly annoyed.
Not because I like it but because I didn't really care.
I looked at his calm features slowly tracing it.
They were some ups and downs but a lot has improved as the wires have reduced.
I stopped at his lips subconsciously leaning closer visualizing his lips on mine.
The image from Elena's phone flashed through my mind as our faces were close enough to feel his breath. I quickly sat up straight.
What was I doing?!
I covered my mouth.
Was I about to....
I stared at him with wide eyes.
He has a girlfriend whenever I like it or not, I have to respect that.
I stood up feeling guilty.
Knock knock
I turned to the door that revealed Levi and Linda with some bags in their hands.
"Hey guys." I greeted them.
"Hi Emily." Levi handed a bag to me.
I blinked looking at him confused.
"Open it." He pointed at the bag.
I opened the bag and an aroma of sweet food filled my nostrils.
Food? Food!
I looked at them.
"We stopped at a Cafè and got some food for you." Linda said before sitting down. I nodded thanked them.
"I also picked up some stuff from your house." She picked up the other bag.
"Your soap, moisturizer, cream and some clothes. I also bought you a eye cream, sheet mask,serum and a new perfume and deodorant as your previous ones had finished." I nodded thanking her and Levi. She handed me the bag. "You go shower first, we'll watch him." She reassured. I glanced at Jake before nodding.
With the bag, I headed to the bathroom connected to Jake's room.
I locked the door and took off my clothes. I walked to the mirror and stared at my reflection. I noticed my body had gotten thinner as my eyes were red and fluffy from crying too much. I also had bags under them and my lips looked champed almost broken actually.
How fast did five days fly that I never noticed my physical state.
I sighed before entering the shower with the bath supplies.
I'm very grateful to doctor Charles for letting us stay here until now. He never told us to leave or even even send us away when they are checking Jake. And the nurses have also really helpful, sweet and friendly. Wonder how school has been doing, I haven't told anyone what has happened. I really hope it doesn't affect our attendance. I also need to check if there is any assignment or projects given as Joy did mention an assignment by Mr John is due to be submitted next week.
I wonder how mom is doing. It's funny how little I care. I glad she's out of the way but if people find out I'm living alone, they might send me to child care. But I should be happy cuz there's more advantages than disadvantages.
I allowed my mind drift to various thoughts.
When I was done I changed to a different pair of clothes.

I dried my hair and braided into pigtails. I also did my skincare as I noticed tiny bits of breakouts around my face.
Okay it's gonna be okay, we'll get through this. Trust in the Lord.
I walked out of the bathroom and approached Linda looking at the empty seat.
"Where's Levi?" I turned back to her.
"He went to take a call." She said as I nodded.
Levi has been getting busy recently not busy busy but it noticable. I mean Jake's Dad's company is not under any head and Levi's dad's company is their closest and biggest business partner. So I understand he's business taking care of things.
"Emily?" I turned to Linda. "Yeah?"
"I'm sorry." She said all of a sudden.
"For what?" I tilted my head.
"I'm responsible for Jake's accident."
I dropped whatever I was holding and looked at her with wide eyes. "What do you mean?" I said shakily.
"Well that day I went out for grocery shopping, I ran into Jake and Levi. I asked him about the dating Elena situation." My breath thicken.
"He explained himself saying he didn't do anything, he met Elena is the bathroom, she kissed him, got a picture and blackmail you with it.
What?
"Then I explained how you were feeling and told him to find you and tell you the truth. I feel like I was responsible for it and I was worried about I was going to tell you but guilt was eating me so I decided to tell you now."
I kept quiet trying to process everything she said.
"Emily I'm really sorry I.." She looked up and gasped.
"Emily..wh..why are you crying?" Linda asked me with a pitiful look on her face.
Huh?
I touched my cheeks and felt warm fresh tears on my face.
"So if I had let Jake explain himself that night, none of this would have happened."
"Emily?"
"If I had believe him, he wouldn't be in this state." I sobbed. "Oh Emily." Linda pulled me to a hug, gently rubbing my back as I wept on her shoulders.
Jake, I'm sorry I caused you pain.

😭😭😭😭😭 I'm not crying, YOU ARE!
