Finnick's POV

"Are you sure about this?" I asked Love.

"Yes," She replied in a nonchalant tone.

"Okay then." I ended the call with a sigh. I didn't want to take any interest in this call but had to. The decision which I was dreading about was taken in this phone-call.

But I don't want to hurt Andrea.

But you have already.

I type the required message on whatsapp reluctantly.

Hi. Need to tell you something important. Can we meet tom?

Hopefully she would reply soon considering the quick responses she always gives me.

I tapped my feet and started waiting for her reply. I turned my wrist to check the time on my watch.

Shit. Only five minutes have passed.

I wish she replies in negative. I want to delay this as much as possible.

I glance at my watch again.

Thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes and no reply? And that too from a girl who replies as soon as you send the message?Maybe she has slept early today. Or she might be busy with something, which reminds me I should probably be asleep too now.

I check my phone once again and sigh seeing there is still no reply and retire to bed. I will probably get her message by morning.

I was hoping for a peaceful sleep tonight but I was not so lucky, owing to the kind of tension I have nowdays.

I wake up the next morning and quickly jump from the bed to check my phone.I open whatsapp and see that she has still not seen my message.

Is everything okay?

I decide to call and ask her. I ring up her number
once..twice..thrice but her phone is coming switched-off.

Now.This is strange.

I hurridly call up her landline number. Hopefully, I would be able to talk to her then.

"Hello..Andrea?" I ask over the phone.

"No..I am her father speaking." A polite voice says over the phone. "May I know who is calling?"

"Finnick Peterson, I am a friend of hers."I say, still wondering what her dad is doing at her home, seeing he should have left for his office as it was a tuesday morning.

"Oh, Finnick. Andrea actually is.."I hear the serious voice, dripping with worry on the phone.

I listened to him in silence and shock, as he told me everything. I grabbed my car's keys and rushed outside my home.

Only to remember something important.

Andrea's POV

I opened my eyes to light-green walls, clean surroundings, a nurse smiling and muttering something which I could not comprehend, a bouquet of daisies beside me.

I scanned my surroundings once again.

I was in a hospital.

Before I could question how, why, when etc, the nurse mused to me. "Ah..I see you are awake. How are you feeling right now?"

"Better," I said smiling a smiling smile at her.

She quickly went and left the cubicle.

"Mom.." I say, seeing my mother enter the cubicle, with a relieved look on her face.

"Andrea, darling..Oh I am so glad to see you are okay." She comes and hugs me.

"Why am I here? No..I mean I didn't slit my wrist that much." I say making air-quotes on the word 'that' to arive in a hospital only.

"Andrea why? Why did you even need to calm yourself so much? It's high time you stop doing this," My mom says, squeezing my hand and a worried expression on her face.

"Mom..just there was something...I am sorry to worry you and dad. Which reminds me, where is dad?" I ask regretfully. This was really bad of me to keep my parents worrying but I don't know how I ended up in hospital. I never did earlier. Though it was the second time I slit my wrist.

"He had to go to home due to some reason. He must be coming in a few minutes." My mom assures me.

"Hmm.." I nod my head.

"Andrea! How are you feeling?" I hear a familiar voice speaking. I look up to find my dad's relieved face.

"I am fine, dad," I say, still not liking the attention I am gathering and the same question I am answering to since I have woken up.

"I'll join you in a few minutes."My mom kisses my forehead and leaves.

"Can you tell me..uh..what happened yesterday?"I ask my dad.

"We came back from work, to find you unconscious on the bed with your wrists slitted, and hands a bloodied mess. We panicked so much and your mom applied bandages but blood didn't stop. So we took you to hospital as we didn't want to risk anything," My dad replies with a sigh.

"Oh..I am sorry for all this."I say, shaking my head at what I have done.

"What was wrong, Andrea?Why did you do this again?"My dad asks taking my fists in his.

"A disappointment, dad. A heartbreak. I am sorry."I say, with guilt heavy in my voice.

"Just take care now. And someone called Finnick ca-"Dad's voice is cut off by the nurse,who was standing at the door, gesturing to my dad while saying something.

"Guess I need to fill up something again..so much formalities to do in hospitals. Will be back soon," My dad says and leaves me alone in the room.

I lay back against the pillow and sigh.

After what seemed like ten minutes, a stranger hurridly comes and sits on the corner of my bed.

I look at him in shock. How can somebody just barge inside a patient's room?

He has brown eyes and straight, nicely trimmed hair. He is wearing a hoodie which hides most of his face. He has a serious expression on his face.

I look at him in bewilderment till something suddenly strikes me.

I gaped my mouth in surprise, still not able to understand whether I should be shocked, happy, relieved or angry at his arrival.

Sorry for the late update but I could not do anything about it. I have shifted my home and I could not find my phone until today. And I don't have wifi also.So my updates might be irregular for a couple of days.

Anyways, give me your reviews about the chapter.
