Our Escape

He is out of comma...

The next day I woke up pretty early, around 5:30. I got fresh and then made my way out of the house, the weather outside was very congenial, it seemed pretty inviting but just as I was about to walk out of the house, I realized that Sam was alone, sleeping in his room, I cannot just leave him like this, it was like an internal debate with myself but then I heard my name and there she was, standing on my house's front porch with a huge smile on her face, looking elegant and soon enough smirking at me as if she knows something I don't know.

"Olivia?" my face was a piece of the show, I had the most surprised expression. I guess I need to learn how to keep a poker face because the way she was laughing at me after seeing my expression really embarrassed me...

"M-Macy...you are so cute! Your expression was priceless". She said this to me while controlling her laughter. You know, sometimes you feel so embarrassed that you wish that the Earth opens up and swallows you, well that's what I was wishing for.

" Stop, stop laughing!" I said this with a straight face. After she saw my straight face, she stopped laughing like a hyena and sobered up.

"I am sorry...didn't think my presence will astonish you to such a level...". She said this with a smirk on her face.

" What are you doing here? It's a way too early, don't tell me that you can't sleep as well...". My eyes widened when I realized about this slip of my tongue, god! I need to control my mouth, I was cursing under my breath but then I got interrupted by her voice.

"What? Who can't sleep?". She asked this with a worried expression.

" N-nothing Olivia, oh you know how silly I am, I just randomly babble things..." I said this with a nervous laugh, that was the worst cover-up but I couldn't think of anything else. At first, she was convinced but she eventually gave up and smiled.

"I was just passing by your house but then I saw you and thought that I should at least ask how you are doing"

"Oh, I was just standing over here and was arguing with myself"

"About what?"

"Umm... I want to visit my dad right now, it's been a long time since I saw him but I can't just leave him alone over here..."

"Oh, you don't worry about Sam, I'll stay here until you come back." She replied with a sweet smile, that's why I love her, she is the sweetest lady and she is always there for me.

"That's so sweet of you! Thank you so much Olivia, I must leave now, bye!". She smiled and waved her hands.

I stood outside dad's room, every time I see him, the memories of that accident come in front of me and I start feeling guilty. I took a breath and opened the door. Just as I opened the door, I was greeted by Samantha.

" Hi Macy! Good morning, it's nice to see you..."

"Good morning Samantha, it's good to see you too, how are you doing?"

Samantha is the nurse which is in-charge of dad, she is really sweet and is great at her job. She is very polite and she always takes care of me as her own sister.

"Everything is going great... So, how is the investigation going?" Samantha asked with a sad smile.

I laughed bitterly...

"Huh... Just the same, the police is so helpful and kind, they are doing everything they can since the last 10 years!"

Though I feel guilty, I feel that it's my fault, I feel that I am the reason for dad's condition but I do feel a great amount of hatred towards the guy who was driving the other car, though we were in a hurry while making our way to Disneyland but dad wasn't blindly driving, it was a car which came in our way intentionally and just as we were about to collide, the guy who was driving gave me a smile, it wasn't a friendly smile, it was different and it was all to give me chills, the coldness in his smile was clear as crystal. I always had this feeling that it wasn't an accident rather, it was a full planned murder, I just knew it. I told everyone, mom, police, nurse, doctor but they didn't quite believe me, though the police opened a case but they didn't do much. Their ignorance just triggered me, I feel like punching someone. When 5 years passed and no one was found then I myself started looking for that guy, I remember his face very clearly, his features, his smile, everything but it was of no use. I couldn't find him, it has been 10 years and I am still looking for that guy...
