In Your Eyes ↦ Lauren/You

Chapter 15

I drive down with my bicycle to the long ass bridge in brod daylight. I've been gone for so long, I forgot how much time it would take up to get to the end of this bridge. I smile and close my eyes as I keep telling myself, "I'm back. And I'm finally home."

I look around as I continue to pedal my bike, and I saw how much Miami have changed since I left. I've been gone for twelve years, twelve freaking years. I know the flight from Boston to Miami will only take three hours or more but I still didn't get the chance to come back. I was so busy taking care of my sister, with college and with my life.

Hailee, her surgery went well and she's cure from her leukemia. When the doctor told us, when Haiz was only four and he told us that she's diagnosed with leukemia, my mom and I didn't know what to do. We were scared shitless to think that we're losing Hailee in such a young age, but she fough back to her illness and won the battle. And now, she's turning eighteen and she will be a senior this coming school year but she's still staying in Boston, with our Aunt. I watched my six year old sister to grew up and be gorgeous lady. She's currently ranked number one in her school and she's also an academic scholar in one of the most prestigious school in Boston and I've never been so proud of her. I guess it runs to our blood. Hailee is my survivor, my miracle. I love her so much.

I turn my hadle bars left, as I reach the usual house I go to almost every single day, a smile creep in to my lips as I remember the days Lauren and I are dating. Or when I always pick her up or drop her off.

My heart clench when I think about Lauren. I wonder how she was doing right now. Did her surgery went as we expected? I never heard a single thing about her since I left Miami. I didn't even know if she read the letter that I placed on the night stand the day I told her that I'm leaving. She didn't call me or even write a letter for me. I wrote my address to the letter I gave to her. And I was expecting to get a letter from her every week or every other week, but I didn't. Now, my mind started to have a bunch of questions. Does she hates me for leaving her? Or she suddenly realized that she doesn't like me, now that she can finally see? Is she dating someone else right now? I hope not. I told her to wait for me. And I'm praying that she did.

I shook my head out of my thoughts and I hop on my bike again and I made my way to Miami hospital.

A huge smile dances my lips as I read Miami Hospital Emergency Room. I parked my bicycle and as I was about to go inside, I heard the sound of the an ambulance coming this way.

They opened the back door and I heard a voice of a little kid whimpering. "Mommy! Mommy!"

"Could you move for me for a second?" The nurse asked the kid and the little boy move scooted far away from the nurse.

"What's going to happen with my mom?" A little kid asked while sobbing. "Is she going to die? I don't want her to die!" He yelled while the tears on his eyes keeps flowing.

"She'll be fine. We just have to get her to the doctor, so you have to stay here, okay?" The little kid nodded weakly and keeps on calling to his mom.

I glance at him and he looks like he's only five or six year old, standing inside the ambulance, gripping the metal pole that's in front of him.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked him and he wipe his tears with his sweater's sleeve.

"My mom..." He cried. "They took my mom inside."

"Don't worry, they will take care of your mom and make her feel better. Now, stop crying okay?" I ruffle his hair and he stopped sobbing for a second. "Everything will be okay,"
