Promises - Joel Pimentel

Chapter 33

A/N: Sorry my updates have been so slow. I'm still healing from my injury which means i'm basically resting 90% of the day and I never have time to write but enjoy my angels xx

I was currently at the hospital next to Maya who was asleep on her bed. Every now and then she would open her eyes then close them back again. Renato was also waiting with me while we waited for a doctor to come check her out. Tapping my foot on the ground as I sat, I see her eyes flutter open while she finally came to her senses.

"Maya, hey how are you feeling?" I leaned forward and grabbed her hand as she looked at me.

"Joel? What happened? Why am I here?" she sleepily said.

"Hey it's ok. You're ok" I reassured her with a smile.

"I'll go call a nurse" Renato says before leaving the room.

"Why am I here?" she asks again as she slowly gains back her consciousness.

"You had a panic attack and passed out on the ground" I told her.

"When- ow" she couldn't finish her sentence because of the amount of pain she was feeling in her head. "My head hurts" she places a hand on top of her head slightly rubbing it.

"You took quiet a fall. We all saw you hit the ground pretty hard" I stand up to sit next to her on the bed.

"I'm sorry Joel" she says out of the blue.

"Why are you sorry babygirl?"

"I ruined your day. You boys probably had a lot planned for today and I ruined that"

"Don't ever think that you ruined our day. We're all worried about you and everyone is doing everything they can to get you back on your feet. I'd rather be here than anywhere else" I finish off.

Before she could reply, a nurse comes into the room, with Maya's dad following behind. They did all the tests that they needed to do on Maya before giving her some pain relief and finally letting her go.

Maya's POV

"Dad I'm fine, I promise" every five minutes my parents would ask if I need anything and I was completely fine.

"You say that but we don't want you fainting again" he replies.

Going back up to my room, I run straight to my calendar that was hanging on the wall and point at a specific date.

"Yes!" I shriek to myself.

Tomorrow was the day. The day I have been waiting for so long. Considering the amount of drama I went through in the past few months, I really needed this day to arrive as soon as possible. This was the only good thing that was happening in my life and I want it to go perfectly. Picking up my phone in excitement, I decided to call Ingrid.

"Hello?" she picked up after a few rings.

"Get ready. We're going shopping and I'll tell you later why"

It took a while for me to get dressed and make my way to Ingrid's house. However, after picking her up, we made our way to the mall by catching the bus.

"Do you want to maybe tell me why you're so excited about this trip?" she asks as we scanned each clothing shop.

We were currently inside 'Zara'. One of my favourite clothing shops to buy fancy outfits from.

"Because, tomorrow is a special day and I want it to go perfectly" I say taking a sip from my Starbucks.

We didn't find anything of my liking in this store so we headed straight into the next one.
