Friendship or Love?

Chapter 4

Previously on Friendship or Love?

"Elizabeth?" I heard someone say. I opened my eyes. I looked around. This isn't my room. I looked around. Everything was white. I wanted to sit up but it hurt to do so. "Hello, darling! You're finally awake! Had a good sleep? You were out for pretty long." I was shocked. Who was that? I looked properly and saw a woman. She was standing next to my bed holding a board. I was very scared. Where was I? Who is she? How does she know my name? She helped me sit up in bed without it hurting and then said, "Do you need anything darling?" Scared, I just said the first thing that popped into my head. "W-Who are y-you?"

Elizabeth's P.O.V

"Who am I? I am Ms Delilah. I am the nurse in-charge of you. I'm sorry if I had frightened you, sweet pea. Now, do you need anything?" The woman said. "Ms Delilah, where am I? Why are there so many wires connected to me and why does it hurt to move?" "Sweetie, you are in the hospital. Don't you remember? You were caught in an accident. The pain is natural. It could take days,weeks, months maybe even years to heal but you must rest well." Accident? That's when all the memories flooded my head. My birthday party, the car crash, everything. I started to cry. "Where's my mummy and daddy? Are they okay?" I asked looking at Ms Delilah. I haven't been in this world for a very long time but when I saw her facial expression, I knew everything was gonna change. I knew that how she looked only meant that something bad has happened. She couldn't say anything and looked as if she was thinking of the best and least hurtful way to tell me but in the end she and I both knew it would still hurt.

"Sweetie.... I'm sorry but your mum was, umm...badly hit." At that point, tears were streaming down my face like a waterfall. "She has gone to a better place where she can be free and happy but don't worry,she will always watch over you." Mummy's gone? She left me.... she promised not to... "Your daddy.....he is tired so he is taking a nap. When he is fresh again, he'll wake up but that might take awhile as he is very sleepy."

It all happened so fast. The car crash, everything. All the tears I never let go all these years came pouring out all at once. Did everyone think I was stupid? I'm five but I understand what Ms Delilah meant. They left. They gave up on me. It's all my fault. If I didn't celebrate my birthday none of this would have happened. I ruined everyone's lives. Mummy and daddy hate me! Everyone hates me! The world hates me!

They lied to me.... they promised they would never leave me. They promised to watch me grow up. They promised to be there when I fail and pass in life. They promised to guide me through it all. They promised to stay and watch me graduate. They promised to help me through my first heartbreak and love. They promised to be there when I get married. Yet, I wake up in a hospital with none of them by my side. They said they love me....but I guess it was all a lie. They just gave up.

I couldn't take it! All the tears caused my vision to become blurry. My head was hurting like crazy. It's all too much! "Sweetie, calm down. Are you okay?" Ms Delilah's voice filled my ears. She started to wipe the tears off my face. "Can I be alone awhile Ms Delilah?" I asked. "Of course, darling. Take all the time you need. I'll be checking on other patients. If you need anything, just press the red button" she said pointing towards the big red button on the wall. "Later I'll be back with you meal and medication. Take care sweetie." And with that she left me alone.

As of now, I was parentless and I will be until my daddy wakes up. Mummy's gone and she will never come back but at least I can still have hope for daddy. He never disappoints me. Any energy I had had all been gone through my endless crying. Some of the tears had dried up. I whispered, "Daddy please wake up, stay with me! You're my last hope!" After, I lied down and cried myself to sleep. And that very night, I had many horrifying nightmares. Those nightmares that you seem to remember and haunts you but you can never remember when trying to tell someone. And as much as I want my mummy and daddy to calm me down and hug me to sleep. They were not there. And at that point I realised, I was living in a nightmare itself and no matter how hard I tried I could never wake up.
