The Ride of Love (JaDine FanFiction) [COMPLETED]

Forty-third Stop

-His POV-

"I don't know what I would do if something's bad happened to her, Renz."

We are at the hospital right now. Nadine passed out just an hour back. The intensity of the situation a while ago caused her this and I was the one to blame. I have caused her so much pain ever since.

Renz tapped my shoulder and told, "She'll be fine, bro. She just needs a rest. I think kailangan mo i-cancel yung flight nyo to Sorsogon tomorrow."

I'm planning to tell Mr. Torres the incident after Nadine wakes up. I'm sure he will understand the situation. The team would still go there, 'though.

Renz already talked to Reese before he went here to accompany me. He said that Reese blames Nadine that I have to go back to the States before. What Reese knew was Nadine left me just because of the accident. It is also what I believed. I believed that not until I met her again. She wake up with amnesia and I wasn't there for her. All along I believed that I was the one who suffered more from the accident but I was wrong. Nadine was fed up with his dad's lies about her life and no one told her about me. Right now, I am the biggest coward for not letting her know all the truth. I know she will hate me but I just cannot tell her that I left her after the accident and even though I don't what happened to her, I came two years late for her.

"Mr. Lutz, gising na po ang pasyente." A nurse approached me. I was just outside her hospital room and I'm so afraid to go in. This was her second time to be admitted because of fainting. I'm afraid that her condition is the major cause for this; most especially that so much stuff are stressing her this time.

I entered her room as she was staring at nowhere. It's as if, she's so drowned with her thoughts. I hate it when I cannot know what she is thinking about.

"N-nadine," I called her.

She smiled a bit but I know it didn't reach her eyes. "H-how are you?" I asked.

"Okay lang ako," she replied. "You need anything? Food? Water?" I don't know why but talking to her right now seemed very awkward.

"No, James. Look, I am okay. Thanks for the concern pero uuwi na rin ako. May flight pa tayo tomorrow, 'di ba?" she said as she tried to stand up but she just sat again looking dysfunctional.

I sat near her bed. "Nadine, I already told Mr. Torres about the incident. He understands it fully. He said it is okay for you to rest. Hindi naman daw sya nagmamadali."

She just sighed her defeat. "It cannot be helped, then. Pero mag-pa-pa-discharge pa rin ako bukas. Ayoko dito, James. And what happened earlier, please don't tell this to anyone. I would like to talk to Reese too. Hindi ko alam kung bakit sya galit na galit sa akin. Ikaw din, may hindi ka sinasabi sa akin."

With that, I felt so guilty. "N-nadine," I tried to talk but "James, alam na alam mo naman ang nangyari, 'di ba? I was betrayed and lied to, by my own family and friends. Up until now, I am still clueless sa nakaraan ko. Hindi ko pa rin kilala ang sarili ko. But then, Jekko came. And you came. You guys made me want to trust people again. What are you doing, and what you are not telling me just complicates everything. James, naman." She said almost tearing up.
