I would never let Lucy know about anything about what just happened last night and I hope Dace Tatum would not give any signs. I’m on my way now to Lucy’s room in the hospital. I still have the bruises I gain last night.
Opening the door as I took a deep breath and saw Dace feeding Lucy, its lunch time though. Lucy’s so skinny and so pale and it’s sort of black around her eyes. This is not good.
Lucy looked at me as she saw me enter the room “What happened *coughing* to you?” She asked worriedly sick while she widen her arms like she wants me to come to her. “Nothing Luc.” I answered “How are you?” Changing the subject.
“What happened to you sweetie?” Mrs. Highmore asked as she grabbed my left arm and pulled me closer to her. Checking my bruises “It’s nothing Kath, don’t worry.”
“Where did you get those Smith?” Tatum asked as if it’s not from his but his eyes shows that his regretting fighting me and worried. “Where? Hmm… I forgot!” I smiled like nothing has ever happen.
Crossing her eyebrows “Don’t lie to me Skye, I know there’s something wrong *coughing*.” She’s looking at me, her eyes convincing me to tell the truth but I’m hardly trying not to. “My dad, he physically tortured me.” I frowned for her not to see my eyes, not to see that I’m lying. Tatum was just silent as he stir slowly the milk for Lucy.
I can’t take it, lying to Lucy but it’s for her good. I can’t afford stating the truth as I look at her so happy with Dace being around. I don’t want to ruin it, not now that there’s no assurance that she’ll be better. I don’t want to be the reason she’ll frown.
She’s smile and laugh with Tatum, it’s so precious to me even slightly it hurts me but I don’t mind being hurt as long as she’s happy. I just watched them look so happy, Dace’s good in pretending though but how I wish it’s all true.
After a while, the door opened and the doctor came in.
“You can go home now Lucy.” He said “Mrs. Highmore, Only God can heal her. What we need now is a miracle. God bless.” He left after informing us but we can’t deny the sad looks in our faces.
[]
Everyday Dace’s never stop showing his care for Lucy and Lucy really did appreciate it. Every day we never stop praying for Lucy’s healing. It’s been a week now but Lucy’s getting weaker and weaker each day. It’s so unwell and our faces were all so disturbed by that fact. All we want is that Lucy will be fully healed.
I went down to the balcony alone, thinking and praying.
God, I know that I’m a sinner and I know that I doubted you, questioned you and blamed you for everything that happen to my life but God, I humbly come to your throne asking for you to let my friend Lucy be healed. Oh God, please please please please, pour out your mercy to her and to her family. Heal her oh Lord. Touch her with you healing hands. Show me your miracle Lord! If she will live, I will let my feelings for Dace die. I will, give up for her to be happy, for her to feel loved by the one she love the most. Lord, grant my prayer.
I cried heavily as Lucy’s sick face flashes on my mind. The agony is there in me, inside me each time. It’s hard, that I can’t do anything to make her live. Nothing, just see her fly away, like a leaf, being carried by the wind.
“Skye, Lucy wants to talk to you.” Tatum cut me off from thinking deeply. I didn’t say a word and ascend up to Lucy’s room. As I enter, Mr. and Mrs. Highmore immediately live.
“S-skye, Come here and h-hold my h-hand” She smile but a tear ran down from her eye. I came near her slowly the same as my tears ran down from my eyes slowly. I could feel the wind touching my skin, a cold wind. I sat down on her bed, on her side and held her hand like what she have said.
“S-skye, take care of yourself while I’m away, okay?” she smiled. “Stop saying that Luc, you’re not going anywhere.” A heavy tears came rolling from eyes as I held her hand even tighter. “Promise me *coughing* that you will be nicer to everyone in the school. Pro-promise me that you will smile to everyone and be more friendly.”
I cut her off “Stop!” she insisted “Don’t be afraid to explore the world, you deserve to explore freely Skye. Be more confident and don’t be afraid of taking risks. While I’m away, hang out with others so that you won’t be alone when you eat and others. I want you to be happy in every way.” She cried as she continue, breathing heavily and I’m stuck, crying, feeling the agony.
“I will be there for you. Don’t ever think that I abandon you because I may be physically away but” she extended her weak and skinny hand and touched my chest, heart portion, “I will always be present in your heart, no matter what or when, or where, I’m always there for you.”
“Please, hold on Luc. Don’t leave me hanging.” I sobbed.
“And Sk-skye, take care of Dace for me, he deserves you.” She smile but tears kept falling from her eyes.
“What do you mean?” I rubbed my eyes and wiped the tears on my cheeks.
“Even if, you didn’t say a word but I know that you love Dace” shocked by the revelation of Lucy, jaw locked that I can’t even say something in response “I can see it in your eyes Skye, that you love him. So, don’t be so hard on yourself, be happy with Dace. I love you sis.”
In a while, I walked unto the door to go and call her parents and Dace but Lucy stopped me for a while when she utter something “Love him deeply and please, take care of my parents too.”
