Right From The Start {Book 3}

We Were Once Together

Leon was rushed to the hospital as the medics couldn't gain consciousness from him. Sofia called everyone to aware them of what happened. All came to the lobby of the emergency room to be there for him.

Leon's parents went in the room first and then Sofia. She took a while, but she is her girlfriend. One at a time his friends went in at groups of three. The entire time Vilu was struggling at whether she wanted to go in the room or not.

The doctor told everyone that he is in a coma, but we can still talk to him because he is able to hear. At least those are just theories behind comas.

When Gery gets there and is about to enter the room Melanie is standing there. Never left when Gery exited.

"It's cute how you care about Leon." [Melanie]

"What are you talking about?" [Gery]

"Being just his band manager you seem to worry about him a lot more." [Melanie]

"That is because Leon and I have grown close to a friendship. I am just as worried as everyone else here." [Gery]

Melanie is making her quiver in her own shoes. Mel continues to get closer in her face, making it more threatening and intimidating for Gery.

"I don't blame you for feeling the way you do about Leon. I mean he is handsome with those green eyes, his sweet heart, making you feel you are special, but face it. Leon will never fall for someone like you. I mean look who is dating now, me. You will always be just a friend to him." [Melanie]

"I have to get going." [Gery]

"I'm sure you do. Take care." [Melanie]

Gery sprints to the exit, but precieves to be calm in front of everyone in the lobby.

Violetta decides not to enter his room. She feels that it will be awkward if she did, what mattered is that she was there in the lobby hoping he'd wake up.

At the house she acted strange, very blan. German worries about her. Believes Leon's accident means a lot more to her than what she leads on. He decides to make a house call to someone who is perfect for situations like this.

In her room, Vilu lays on her bed listening to his voice singing Love Is In The Air. Going through pictures of the memories they had together, her journal entries in her diary about him, everything.

"Come in." [Vilu]

Responds to the knock on her bedroom door. It was Angie.

"How you feeling?" [Angie]

"Bad." [Vilu]

"Is it about Leon's accident?" [Angie]

"The last time I talked to him was arguing about him being late to rehearsals." [Vilu]

"That didn't cause his accident." [Angie]

"I know, but hearing about him being in a coma or even waiting in the lobby of the hospital.." [Vilu]

"It reminded you that you still care about him." [Angie]

"Yes. I thought I was getting over it or getting used to him being with Melanie, but I am not. I didn't go in his room because I didn't know what I would say to him or how I would have reacted to seeing him. At times I feel guilty for not saying everything of how I felt about him. After the breakup we haven't really talked." [Vilu]

"You miss him. That is understandable considering that you have a long history with Leon. He was a very important person in your childhood." [Angie]

"It's not just that. Looking back at these photos, remembering moments with him, reading how I described him in my diary I nearly forgot how much Leon meant to me. For today I felt jealous over Melanie. Seeing Leon with anyone else and happy with them, reminds me that he can be happy without me." [Vilu]
