Fated to You

Chapter 34: Behind Closed Doors

A month passed...

Just in time. Barely in time, did she manage to reach for the girl before she falls off the edge of the building. However, she fell unconscious from the shock and stayed unconscious for a while that Charlotte had to take her to the hospital. Turns out, she was only temporarily comatose. She woke up from her deep sleep and could not remember anything that happened the day of her attempt. Becky had stayed inside of her room ever since Charlotte brought her back from the hospital. She hadn't responded to neither of them for days now. She just stayed inside, and only comes out to eat and this is only when she's starved out hours in between.

Felix did not know what to do and soon finds himself living the scenes from the animation Frozen. Every day, he camps out in front of her door, hoping she finally decides to speak with him. But she wouldn't. She would ignore his very existence and dismisses him before he could even say hello.

However, every day he would not hear a thing from her. The room would be silent all day. Not one movement would be heard from the other side of the door but every night, he would hear something. Becky would think him asleep but he is not. He camps out in front of her door throughout the entire day and only leaves his respective spot to change, eat a bit, and to answer whatever calls he receives from Charlotte.

Every night. Every night, right after they had had an amazing day with each other, (granted, they don't interact physically but in his mind, they do), he thinks she goes on to sleep with a smile on her face. But every night, instead, she cries. He doesn't know why, neither does he wish to understand why. She was crying and this was more shattering to him than any ill-fated luck he'd had with her mother. He cannot be with her for she's refused his company. There's not much he can do. And this breaks him. So, every night, he sits in front of her room, all night long, until she stops crying. And as a way to share whatever pain that she was pouring out of her eyes, he cries just as much but silently. Silently, because he doesn't want her to notice his pain either. This alone will bring too many questions to which he doesn't want to answer, even though he is dying to let the girl on the other side of this door know that he is the love of her life, the love of her life for whom she weeps.

While he tries so hard to connect, Becky had done her best to ignore. He comes to her door every day and stays there until night roams about and Becky believes him to have gone off. She cries. She cries loud and heavily every night. But each night passes, the pain that she lashes out through her cries has been nothing than the immense pain that she feels like she still has to release to be delivered from her suffering. She's too in pain to have the will to live. However, one particular morning, Felix does something different. He sits in front of her door and starts to play the guitar. He starts reciting a few lines. Becky did not think, not even for a second that he could play the guitar and much less sing what sounds to be an original and is corny as fuck.

"The day she sleeps, yet the night she weeps. Every day, my heart could hear, a pain so heavy to you dear. But I feel you close to open up, that soon you'll speak true to me. I can feel it deep, I can loudly hear, the heavy sound of your heart beat.

Oh, look down, princess, from your hard shell tower for I wish to be with thee..."

Becky wouldn't open the door but she drags herself out of bed and lowers down on the floor against her door to listen to him sing. It wasn't so bad. Although he was terrible at singing. Freen wasn't. Freen had the most amazing voice she's ever heard. Freen was her favorite singer. And she's no longer here.

"Can you stop singing?" Becky asks, from behind the door.

Felix stops his singing when he heard her voice. A small triumphant smile graces his lips, "I've awakened you?"
