Hopelessly addicted to you (a Darren espanto fanfic!)

Again (chapter 24)

Anika's POV

When I open my eyes I saw a green curtain and as I examine the place I was at the hospital. There was no one in the room..I remove my oxygen and try getting up.. Then someone open the door. "Anika! Dear, are you okay? Do you want me to call your mother?" Tita marinel ask.. She hug me tight..

"Hello po tita." I said. She was still hugging me.. But I didn't hug back.
"Okay ka lang? As she put my stray hair behind my ear. I nod and look at the girl beside her.. "Lynelle?" She smiled and said. "Hi ate!" She said. I smiled and sooth her hair.. "Honey misses you." I said. "Pupunta rin Siya dito ate?" She ask. I shook my head in a sign of no. She pout. Then someone called tita. She excuse her self then lynelle walk after. I stand up and arrange my patients gown. I walk towards the window and look at the city.. Then someone came in. I didn't bother looking at her/him.

"Baby are you okay? You shouldn't be standing? Did you wear your oxygen?"when I turn around si mommy pala.

"I want to go home as soon as possible." I said. Mommy was kinda shock.. "What happened?" She ask coming near me. "I just want to go home." I said then wipe my face. "Alam ko na." Mommy said. "I gave her a "really-look" then she nod.

"Hindi Kayo in good terms no?" Mommy said. As she drag me to sat down. "You don't get it.. Ma.." I said then bury my face at my palm. "Try me." She said. I look at her and said. "Wala na kami. He gave up. He don't love me anymore okay?" I said. I stood up and look for my clothes.. "What?!" Mommy said. I didn't answer

Then tita marinel came. "Is it true Anika? Wala na kayo ni Darren?" I nod not looking at her. "Darren told me. Siya yung kausap ko sa phone." Tita marinel said in a weak tone. "Ayaw na niya." I said. I don't really want to tell them the truth and I don't want to talk about it. "Ate don't give up on kuya Darren--" I cut lynelle off. "Your kuya don't love me anymore okay? He found someone better than me?! So don't waste your time lynelle cause it was your kuya who made that decision." I said almost shouting. Lynelle's eyes was teary and she hid behind tita. "Anika?!" Mom said. When I realize I scared lynelle. I approach her..

"I'm sorry. Ate didn't mean to scare you..." She wipe her eyes and nod. I hug her and said. "Your stil young you don't get this things.." She nod and hug me tight. "I'm so sorry Anika.." Tita marinel said. I hug her and I feel my self tearing up. " maybe hindi talaga kami para sa isat isa.." I said. They didn't answer..

"Ma, book me a flight.. I want to go home." I said. "Sige,if that's what you want. I'll stay here lang muna." Mommy said. I nod and grab the things I need and lock my self in the bathroom.

I look at the mirror and stare at my self.
"Your a very big mess." I open the faucet and wash my face.. Bun my hair and put a little lip gloss and smiled. But even the smile was fake. I change into my jeans and wore my black tank top. I cover it with a blue and pink checkered and got out. Tita and lynelle wasn't there anymore..

"They left?" I ask. "Yup." Mom said. Popping the p. "Look,baby I'm sorry.. I didn't know the whole story.. Want to talk about it?" She said. "Even I don't know the reason ma. I don't know what happened. He just kiss another girl that slip him off his feet.. For damn sake his a coward..he don't deserve me." I said straightforward. "Tough words" she said. " look mom. I'm new to this things and I need an elderly to help me get throughout this psychopath way,before depression got into me." I said as I arrange my bag and carry it. "Okay, your 17 already..you already know what's wrong and right." She said as she arrange the bed. "Today..I think all the wrong doings is the right thing do.." I snap. "Anika.. Don't let it get to you.. Your better than this." She said.. Coming near me. "I'm sorry... I should go." I said. I left the hospital and contact lili...

"Hello?." She said.
"Your under arrest for killing Anika Figueroa.." I joked
"You little !! Tell me your fine." She said
"Meet you up at Starbucks." I said then hung up.

---Starbucks---

I was the first one to reach the Starbucks so I ordered a honeycomb crunch mocha. After like 15 minutes someone tap the table. "Hoy! Where have you been?! Anika the whole world was looking for you!" Lili said. I didn't bother explaining so I just said. "I was broken hearted i need some time alone." I said as I sip. "You should have at least told me." She said. "Forget about me. When did it all start?" I ask. "What do you mean?" She ask. "Don't play with me,I'm not in the mood." I said she inhale and said.

"Okay. I knew Darren was having an affair with that girl but believe me.. I keep telling him that if he don't love you anymore he should end it up in a good way.. And tell you some reasons.. He didn't listen. I'm so sorry if I didn't tell you.." She said.

You still didn't answer my question. I said in a strict tone. "When did it all start?" I repeated.

"1 year ago." She answered. I slap her and my eyes begun to tear up. She didn't look up she let her self like that. Then the people near us look at us.

"I'm your bestfriend!! You should have told me?! You know what? I hate you all?! Damn liers!!" I said as I stand up. And exit the place.

I begun to cry again.. As I wipe my tears I keep on sobbing. I keep on blaming my self for not being worth it, For being stupid,for being blind.. I end up on a park. I think a new one since I don't remember it when I still live here..

I sat at a bench and look around. Kahit anong punas ko sa luha.. Ayaw tumigil. Someone sat beside me and offered a handkerchief.

I look at it and said.
"I'm sorry but I don't know you." I said.
"Ikaw yung tipo na May asthma... At tigngan mo oh.. My sipon ka." He said. I took he's handkerchief and wipe my face.

"Oh ang Ganda mo pala." He said. I return his handky but he didn't accept it. "Keep it.you need it more than I do." And so I did. We became silent till he's phone rang.

"Yeah, don't worry I'm here. Yeah, bye.." He said.
"Who was that?" I ask.
"My friend." He said as he slip his phone back to his pocket.
"So what happen to you? He ask.
"Stupid things." I reply
"What kind of stupid things?"
" I don't want to talk about it.. And why would I tell you? I don't even know your name.." I retorted.
"I'm dikki." He said extending his hand.
"Anika." Taking his hand for a shake.
"I'm sorry if chismoso ako but I'm kinda curious.. Anong nangyari sayo?" He said again.
"Well, I'm broken hearted. And this is my first time so yeah..." I said. Not looking at him.
"Bomber....." He said.
"He's an idiot..a very big one.." I said looking at his handkerchief
"I'm not really a good expert when it comes to love.. And I never been into a real relationship.. But it might help you.. "Some things happen for a reason." And maybe because something about you made him leave you or replace you.. I don't know how it feels but the way you look, you look like you've been hit my a thousand truck... Look at your eyes" He said.
"Was that supposed to make me feel better? I said he smiled and look at his watch and again look at me.

"Well I got to go... Nice meeting you Anika.. And please you've already got your self in a stupid situation don't make stupid things okay?" He said. I laugh and waved..
Then he turn around.

"Nice necklace by the way." He said then continue to walk away. I touch my neck and I realize I was wearing the necklace.. When did I wore this? As long as I can remember I didn't wore this.. Maybe the boy who carried me. Maybe he thought I wore this thing.
