Chapter Three ~'I Love Her No Matter What'

Chapter Three

~

I was alone in my bed, the light bulb blinding me in my eyes as I stare at it. In this room I feel trapped. I imagined myself in a cage, trapped from the outside world. I was over thinking. Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from the door, it was a bit loud that I can able to hear it. Then it stopped.

'Mrs. Steve-' Someone mumbled, and I heard it. I know it was the doctor, he zipped his mouth as someone interrupts.

'Ms. Stevenson' mom said. Her usual voice that I know, sounded calm.

'Oh sorry. Ms. Stevenson, your son is ready to go home today' The doctor pauses and I can image my mom smiling. 'But I am informing you, we calculated all of his injuries in his body, then we estimated the time it took for the injury to heal. Then we discovered something different about him. His injuries should be slow in healing, but it wasn't that slow, it was 10x faster than we expected. His bones that were bent and broken, it should take 1 month for it to heal, but his damaged bones only took one day, and it was fully healed' he mumbled, leaving the last words into a whisper. I breathed. My heart stopped for a minute or two. Hearing what the doctor said, made me feel weird. I count in my fingers all things that are weird about me.

First. I have two eye colors

Second. I have a mental ability that even If I'm not listening, I can collect information from the one who is talking to.

Third. I can hear clearly from a far distance.

How did I knew the third? It's because I am doing it right now. The distance of the door from me, is far and I have even the chance to hear their conversation. Why was I like this? A person with 'Powers' as they say. I don't know what am I. I'm confused as hell.

'What am I' I mutter to myself. I wish I knew the answer to this question. The door flew open, as I glance quickly to mom. The doctor might have mentioned something more but I was busy thinking in my thoughts.

'Levan, the doctor said, we'll be leaving in two hours, so we've got more time to get ready, I'll pack your clothes' I sit up. The creaking sound of the bed was hear able this moment. Finally, I could go home. I don't want to be stuck here in this hospitals, where I feel uncomfortable. I got out from bed, the pain in my body still affects my physical movements. I took a few steps, and I regained it as I walk towards the bathroom.

I watch the flowing water in my hands, every droplet of water that touches my skin makes me tingle from its coldness. I look up and stare at the mirror, where I see my reflection. I focused on my eyes, as I let my hands play the water. A guy who is weird, who feels weird, I say. My left arm still strives the pain while my right was feeling better, than the past few days. I sighed, I can finally go home. The first thing on my mind was to find my father, it sounds crazy but maybe, I have a good shot on this, I just have to believe that My father is still alive. But why was he visiting me in my dreams? He might be dead, but no, he's alive, I insist. I ask myself, 'If I'm going to find my dad, where would be the first place I would go to'. I can't think. I closed the faucet, leaving little droplets in my hand.

I was walking as I leave the hospital, where I almost stayed for a month, and it felt like a year. Mom was sitting in the driver's side, where the left door of our car was opened. The car that Mom bought when I was 8. She used to fetch me after school. Mom helped me get in, as I tried to ignore the pain. I sat quietly as my mom started the car. I focused on the side mirror of our car as the hospital in view, shrinks as my mom drives faster.

I sighed, the only thing that bothers me right now is my real father. Where could I find him? Where is he? I closed my eyes for a minute, relaxing right in this moment, when I felt a soft thump in my heart. I felt pain again, wanting it to stop.
