In a heartbeat: R.E Version [In Progress]

Chapter 35: The Bed Side Drama

Third person's POV

Jonathan and Jacob were sitting on the opposite side of the bed where Sherwin laid with Ella on the base of the bed looking over at Sherwin and occasionally glancing at Jonathan's very much worried and flushed face.

His hands were still burning with sensation forever engraving in his mind, when he stripped Sherwin's upper clothing. He resisted to do more than just that.

The only thing that kept the room completely silence is the fact that the bed in which sherwin was laying keep on shifting from left to right. It caused it to screeched on the floor tiles.

"Stop that!" Ella hissed. It didn't seem to work as the bed kept on shifting from Jonathan to jacob's side. It looked like both boys used the bed itself as the rope in a tug of war.

"If you two keep doing that I'm gonna asked you both to leave the room" Ella said annoyed. She had her arms crossed exchanging looks between the two boys. "I'm not doing anything" Jacob said also annoyed. 

Ella stared at him. "Really?" She raised a brow. "Then why is the bed kept creaking and moving!? And how are you two even doing that!?" She asked as she switched looks between them. Both boys paused and the bed ceased creaking.

Jonathan glared and so did Jacob. Ella only grew more annoyed at them both and looking ready to explode at the two boys.

Then the door opened and it had all their attention. Mrs. Ramirez entered with one worried sicked Mrs. Faye. Her eyes franticlly searched the room until she landed on the laying form of her son.

"Sherwin, my baby.." she briskly walked towards him. Jonathan gave his spot for Marianne to sit right next to her son. She whispered a small thanks as Jonathan nodded at her. Jacob stood up giving the moment to the mother and son.

She ran a hand through his bed of curled hairs as if taming the wild nature of Sherwin's hair.

"Is he ok?" She asked looking at Mrs. Ramirez. "He's alright, Mrs. Faye. He just needs a little rest" Ella answered with a smile. "Ella is the school nurse assistant, Mrs. Faye. You're son is in good hands" Mrs. Ramirez said while firmly grasping Ella's shoulders.

"Thanks goodness" She pulled her hands together sighing in relieve. "Thank you, sweetheart" she thanked Ella. "It was my duty, maam" she replied humbly and smiled.

It was a totally different attitude that even Jonathan had to blink more than twice.

He knew she was different person when it comes to this kinds of things and admittedly he thought it was all for show. But this time it sounded and felt very much real.

The three ladies in the room discussed the events that lead to Sherwin's passing out. With Jonathan and Jacob's supporting evidences. It was turned something like a pray over as they glanced at Sherwin as they talked to one another.

Jonathan who kept his eyes on Sherwin noticed his eyes were slowly opening. Looking disorientated, Sherwin blinked a couple of times more trying to make off of the things around him.

Jonathan out of his strong emotions and the lack of care he reached down on Sherwin hand. Firmly grasping it without a thought of letting go.

"Sherwin! How are you feeling?" He asked immediately. Everyone's attention was on Sherwin each with their own smile, including Ella. But no smile was bigger and more happier than Marianne.

"Ohh, my baby.." she said as she showered him with kisses and hugs. Jonathan only tighten his hold on Sherwin, looking very happy at the sight of Sherwin now blushing face once more.

"Mom! S-stop...M-mom!" Sherwin pleaded his mother with the softest whimper that Jonathan thought to be the cutest sound he heard from him.

Sherwin tried his best to block his view on Jonathan's wide smiling face looking very happy with himself. His face turned red out of embarrassedment.
