The Little Garden

Goodbye.

After the class, it was rainig hard and Rick decided that he will go home with Michelle. He looks for Michelle but he couldn't find Michelle in the campus. He asked their classmates and so eric but no one could tell him. One of the students told him that she saw Michelle going out without an umbrella. He looked for Michelle in her favorite place but unfortunately, he could not see her. 

Rick: (shouting) Michelle!!! Where are you? (When he turn back, he saw Michelle lying down on the ground)

Rick: Michelle! Oh my God! You're very wet. (putting his hand on the forehead of Michelle) Oh my God! You have a high fever! I must send you to the hospital.

At the hospital..

Rick: (called the pearents of Michelle) Hello, auntie. It' s Rick.

Mary: Rick! If you want to talk with Michelle, well I'm very sorry, she's not yet here.

Rick: I know auntie. Michelle is here with me at the hospital.

Mary: (shock) W-why? What happen? How is Michelle?

Rick: I brought her because she has a high fever.

Mary: Rick tell me, what hospital and where?

Rick: We're in Cebu Doctor's Hospital. She's in room 212.

Mary: Ok wait for us. We're coming!

Dave: Who's in the hospital?

Mary: It's Rick calling and Michelle is confined now in the hospital. They're wiating for us.

The parents of Michelle wnt directly to the hospital and go immediately to the assign room of Michelle.

Dave: Rick, how's Michelle? (sits beside the bed)

Rick: The doctor said she has a pneumonia and she must take a rest for two weeks.

Mary: Oh my God! Please cure my little princess.

Michelle: Mom, Dad (crying and hug her parents)

Dave: You make us worry, sweetheart. By the way, why were you walking under the rain without an umbrella or a raincoat? See, this is what you've got!

Michelle: Yes dad, but...

Dave: (angry) Then why are you walking under the rain without bringing something that will protect you. You're luck Rick saw you lying on the ground. What if, he didn't see you, what shall we do?

MIchelle cries.

Mary: Dave, don't be angry with her. She doesn't mean it and maybe she has a problem.

Dave: If she has a problem, she should share it with us. We are her parents and she knew whatever problem she had, we are here to help her. But why now, when she became a teenager she doesn't trust us anymore,

Mary: Dave, be calm. Don't worry, we'll ask her about it. Michelle, my princess.

Michelle: Yes mom. Dad, I'm really sorry for what I did. It's just because I'm not in myself.

Mary: Chelle, tell us. Do you really have a problem?

Michelle: Yes, mom. But sorry I'm not yet ready to tell you everything. (crying) 

Mary: Ok, we'll just wait. Just tell us and don't hesitate to confide with us, we are willing to listen to your problem whatever it is. just remember we are your parents and you can trust us, okay?

Michelle: Yes, mom and thank you.

The next morning, Eric heard the news from his two buddies Mark and John. Upon hearing the news, he goes directly to the hospital where Michelle was confined for two weeks.

Rick: Hi, Chelle! How are you? Are you okay now? By the way, Chelle, i brought you some fruits and flowers.

Michelle did not answer, still, she is sad and di not like to see the face of Rick anymore

Rick: Chelle, are you angry with me?

Mary: Michelle, why won't you say thank you to Rick?

Michelle: Well, thank you and will you please leave this room?

Rick: (shock) W-why?

Michelle: (crying) I don't want to see your face anymore. Now, get out!

Mary: Michelle, why did you treated him like that? He's the one who take you here.

Dave: Michelle, let's talk about this. Hmm.. Rick, if you wouldn't mind please leave us.

Rick: Yes, uncle. Bye auntie! Bye uncle! By michelle!

Dave: Now, tell us why you are behaving like that?

Michelle: (crying) I'm sorry mom, dad for being like this.

Mary: Michelle, tell us why and stop crying.

Michelle: Mom, dad give me some advice.

Dave: What kibd of advice?

Michelle: Actually the story goes like this.. The truth is I had a crush on Rick. I kept my feelings for almost 5 years but now I can't hide it. When that day Rick found me lying on the ground because I was fainted, I was not in myself because of what I heard from Rick.

Mary: Why are you not in yourself?

Eric came and heard the conversation of Michelle and her parents.

Michelle: It's because that day, carla and Jannel told me that Casey is his girlfriend and that time i don't knwo what to do. I feel that i want to die or just leave him anhd transfer to the other place but I can't do that.

Eric: (talking to himself) It means, Michelle had a crush on Rick. Don't worry Michelle, I'll replace Rick in your heart. I'll do all my best to make you happy and i'll be here for you no matter what. (smiling)

Michelle: Mom, dad, give me some piece of advice if I'll just continue hiding my feelings or just forget my love for him.

Dave: Michelle, our only advice is to follow your heart and fight for it.

Mary: But.. if you think that you cannot take it anymore, just forget him and find someone who deserves your love.

Michelle: Thanks mom and dad.

Michelle tried to forget her love for Rick so, she make friends with Eric. Rick didn't know what's the real reason why Michelle didn't talk to him and whenever Rick wants to talk to her she just walk away. Rick tried to ask Carla adn Jannel why Michelle doesn't want to talk to him but unfortunately, Carla and Jannel didn't tell the truth. Rick always visits the little garden cause maybe she will saw Michelle there, but Michelle didn't visit the place anymore. Michelle and her family decided to move to another place that Rick didn't know.
