Chapter 2

" Austin ? " my eyes blurred as i had just woken up. 

" Hey Emily ! You.. looked the same" he spoke and eyed me from head to toe.

" Emily who is he? " Julia's face confused as she tugged my sleeve.

" A friend .." i replied, then turn to Austin , " Got to go .. see you around Austin. "

I grabbed Julia's arm and began to walked away.

" Yeah see you around too .. " he confusingly said , his eyes trailed us as we exited the theatre.

" How you know him ? " Julia begin to asked, curiousity filled her eyes as she stared.

" An old friend.. he's kinda.. my ex. " i shrugged , and looked away.

" WHAT ? OMG you didnt tell me? " Julia snapped and folded her arms.

" Why should i ? You didnt ask ! " i snapped back.

" Oh so you dont trust me? " she glared with daggers shooting at me.

I led out a big sigh and quickly walked faster and exited towards the entrance of the building. Why is she angry at me? I mean she have no rights to be! I can tell her what i want to tell her! I folded me arms at that thought.

Mum greeted me. I gave her a smile and went up to my room.

So many things had happened today , i mean what could be worse right? I quickly changed into comfortable clothes and went to the kitchen .

" Hey mum whatcha doing? " as i grabbed a muffin from the counter and took a big bite. Mum then poured juice for me and i said a silent thanks.

" Nothing dear .. and .. Eddy's been sick lately, and daddy's over there with him at the hospital." she replied. I swallowed my muffin hard.

" Oh my ! He didnt take his meds? " i muttered, knowing that this happens everytime.

" Unfortunately. His stubborn you know . His fever hasnt died down at all, it keeps him hot all the time. Too hot till we had to send him to the hospital. His staying there for a few days. Dont hurry honey, go visit him if you want. " mum reassured me and flashed a smile.

I nodded and quickly went up my room. Eddy's my only brother, his fifteen but not schooling. I dont see him often though because his always at the doctors. Mum and dad had to work and i needed to attend school. We didnt hire a baby sitter because of his weak immune system, always sickly and strangers are the last people you want to take care of a sick child. Eddy was born immunodeficiency . So his always on anti-biotics and medication and he hated it. I mean who likes taking meds. Trying to get him to take it is even harder then telling a swimmer to run a marathon.His always secretly throwing his pills away and end up sick again. Thats why now my mum stayed at home, making sure he , but mum's arent gonna be there forever, i mean in reality. So he was often taken to the doctors.

I put on a jacket and head to the hospital via my mum's car. I havent got a license but my dad's been teaching me since ten. He was once a race car driver, but quitted because of my mum. He fell in love and got married, that story always awed me all the time. I grabbed her car keys and went.

" Hey Ed, how're you doing? " i smiled as i sat beside him.

" Usual , you ? " he looked at me with boredom written all over his face.

" Im alright. Why are you sick again? " i whispered not wanting my dad to hear our conversation.

He turned to look away, and stared at the window.

" Meds? " i then spoked, he nodded and gave a face. I wasnt angry with him , its just he's too stubborn not listening to mum and dad and end up getting sick and all. I mean wont they be tired of this? If i were them ,i would. " Wanna drink ?" i asked and he shook his head. I then proceed to the door.

The hospital was silent, nurses walking around but i dont see any patients. Wierd sight i thought , maybe its a weekend thats why. I continue walking pass rooms and more rooms till someone tapped on my shoulder. I yelped and quickly covered my mouth. I then turned to see who it was.

" Hey.." he waved and smiled. It was Chris, my heart totally stopped beating for a moment, im sure. I then stared in disbelief till he spoked " Hey you alright ? " he touched my arm.

I flinched and then gave a shy smile, my cheeks were suddenly burning , i quickly palmed them.

" Im alright.." i muttered and then continued walking.

He then turn to walk with me. The tension was awkward and awfully quiet for a few minutes. The hallway was like endless. Its like both of us wanted to say something but in the end kept quiet. With made the atmosphere awkward max.

He then broked the suspense surprising me, " What're.. you doing here? " he asked then turned to look at the floor. The question sort of caught me of guard as i was staring at infront the whole time, hoping he wont say anything .

" Erm... i-m.. visiting my brother.. here.." i stuttered a little, and i awkardly smiled. I then placed my hand on the back of my neck and continued walking. He looked at me and nodded.

I then blurted out unknowingly , " Im getting a drink, you want one ?" i shocked myself , i could feel my ears turning hot.

" Okay, but i'll get it . You sit here.." He smirked and pointed to the empty seat . i blushed.

" Coffee ? " he asked and i nodded.

I didnt want him to pay, but he already started putting coins into the vending machine and pressing some buttons. He then approached with the drinks. He passed one to me and i quickly thanked him. We both sat and started drinking. The coffee was warm and refreshing, i could feel the warmed liquid passing in my throat.

It wasnt awkward suddenly, maybe because we started talking. I asked about why he was here, and he then told me that his grandma had a stroked and needed surgery. I felt sympathy for him , i didnt know that something so sad could happen to anyone anytime. It awed me.

" Im sorry.. " i turned to face the ground, embarassed that i made him say that.

" Its okay, i needed to get it off my chest somehow.. " he smiled and went back to his coffee.

We then talked for about a half an hour, about school to friends to even tv shows , everything. He was so open to me as if he trusted me. But one question dumbfounded me,

" You.. " he cleared his throat. " Have a boyfriend? " he then turned to looked away, i could see that he made a face at the wall, he must feel stupid for asking that, i chuckled into my hand. That was so cute of him i thought.

" Hmm nope. " i smiled and took a sip of my coffee. I looked at the ceiling. He then turned to looked at me again and i could see him smile.

His phone vibrated as i could feel the seat vibrate with it too, he read it and said " Hey i need to go, the surgery must be over.. " he revealed .

We both stood up and waved goodbye , but he suddenly turned around and said " your not bad Emily.." he smirked and quickly walked away. He became his cool side, i blushed and was bewilded at his comment. I then shook my head and head to Eddy's room.

As i walked, i thought, his kinda cute and shy when his alone with me , but in class his personality changed totally, he became those popular guys that could make any girls go gaga over. He will be all cool and relaxed. i smiled at the thought and suddenly his comment came to mind, im not bad? What does that suppose to mean. I shrugged.
