Purpose

Chapter 3

"Morning" I turned my head to see Sunny smiling at me. I sat up.

"Wow, your early" I joked and smiled. She didn't respond. She was just looking at me and smiling. What's with her?

Then one by one, tears started to stream down form her beautiful face. I panicked.

"Sunny? What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothing, by the way...here's some extra books I bought for you" She said and placed the paperbag on my lap. I smiled.

"Thanks"

"I need to go" She stood up and left me.

I'm getting worried. Why is Sunny so down?

I took out the first book I held and read the title. 'A few years with her'.

But then, somehow. It reminded me of Sedric. I don't know the reason why. Come to think of it, my birthday was almost everything I can ever wish for. The days flashed back to me.

"So...what hobbies do you do to kill time here?" He asked. I shrugged.

"Just read" I simply answered.

"That's all? To the sound of it, you've been here for a long time." He seriously said. For some reason, my heart raced like it never did before.

"Yeah, your actually correct" I whispered. He smiled at me and looked at his wristwatch.

"So, when can I see you again?" I froze.

"I'm never actually going back here, in this garden. This will be the last time I'll be here" His expression changed.

"Oh, ok. Then I'll search for you. Somehow." He giggled. My heart felt overwhelmed by his voice.

"You seem like you don't want to know me. You only say the things that you actually think that doesn't matter to others. You keep things." He said. I tried to smile.

"In a short span of time, you managed to have an information about me just like that" I chuckled.

"You should try to laugh and smile more often. I like it" I felt the warmth in my cheeks.

"Thanks? I guess?" I asked.

"Guess I'll see you around then" He stood up carrying his bag. I nodded and smiled.

"Sure. If you'll ever find me" I joked.

"Is that a dare?" I shrugged.

"Maybe"

"I'll accept it. If I ever find you again, I want to be your friend" I raised an eyebrow.

"What for?"

"Nothing. Is it a deal?" He asked. I giggled.

"It's a deal"

"Okay, gotta go now" He said and waved goodbye. Well that was new.

But then again, it's been a few days. I'm not hoping that he'll ever search for me. Besides, he only met me one day in the hospital garden.

"Hey Fatima" I froze to the anger spreading on my brothers voice. I turned to him and tried to smile.

"What can I do for you my dear brother?" I politely said to him. He sneered at me. What the...what did I do?

"Who's the damn guy that kept asking what number is your room?" I gave him a questioning look.

"What?" I asked.

"There's a guy downstairs. I heard him say your name and asked what number is your room" I twitched.

"And it's been a few days." I froze. He really did that?
