The Tree's Girl

Chapter Seven

I woke up in my room, I was wearing my house wear, it was my pale green t-shirt and my jogging pants. How did I get here? What happened?

That's right, I fainted. Not really unusual, I always faint.

"Thank Goodness you're awake my dear!!"

I looked to my side to see my Mother who just entered the room carrying a small table, those tables that they use in hospitals to feed their patients, and it had a glass of water, medicine and a bowl of soup on it.

"The school said you suddenly fell unconcious when having class, why did that happen?"

As usual, my mom's voice sounded really worried.

"I'm fine Mom, I guess it was just a headache" I gave her a weak smile, I know she won't buy it, ut atleast it would lessen her worries. And she knows when I lie, there's no way that I'll tell her the truth. 

"Okay, eat up! You'll need the strength. You still have school tommorrow."

I still have school tommorrow? If I remember right, I fainted on Friday.

"Mom... How long was I out?"

She just placed the table in front of me and then patted my back with a fake smile on her face.

"Three days dear"

WHAT?! I WAS UNCONCIOUS FOR THREE DAYS?!!

"That's why I don't believe that it was just a headache. But if you don't want to talk about it, it's fine for me. Just get better okay?"

She then left. I ate all the soup and drank the medicine. Now I'm laying on my bed doing nothing. I wonder why did I faint. I admit that I felt a headache, and I found it hard to breathe back then, but for what reason? I didn't do sports that day, I didn't get tired. How weird.

"Joseph dear! Just tell me if you want more, okay?" My mom shouted from the kitchen.

"S-sure!"

I live with my Mom, and only with my Mom, I have no Father.

You all know that can't be true. Of course I had a father, how can I be born if I don't have one? We just didn't have a thight family bond.

Our family used to have four members. A father, A mother, an Older brother and A younger one. I was the youngr one. My older brother's name was Jian, He was the dream son, smart, sporty, industrious, anything every parent would ask for. He also was a caring brother, I just hope I got to know him more. He had a car accident when I was just two years old. He was 12 back then when Dad took him to an amusment park, on the way they were hit by a dump truck, Dad survived but unfortunately Jian didn't.

That was kind of the reason dad 'broke', he kept blaming himself until he became a little violent and started blaming Mom and me.

I was five when they discovered that I had a weak and fragile body, I was the kind who easily got injuries and diseases, meaning I always was trapped in a hospital, meaning hospital bills, meaning my Dad needs to pay.

Him and Mom fought every night, their fight was always about me.

"THAT BOY IS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE!"

"Dear don't say that! He's still our son!"

"OUR SON IS JIAN! NOT HIM!"

I really didn't are if he loved me or not, I just don't want im to blame everything on me.

One day, I came home with a broken arm, I fell down the stairs at school, thus adding another bill that my father needs to pay.

"THAT'S IT!! IF THIS BOY MAKES ME PAY ANOTHER BILL, I'LL KILL HIM MYSELF!!"

There I was afraid, my father looked very serious, so this time everytime I have an accident I always keep it as a secret.

But one day, my Mom took me to an Amusment Park, and I fell from the very top of a ferris wheel.

I just woke up in a Hospital room the very next day withouth  any memories. How do I remeber all this? It's my Mom, she said I deserved to know everything, Look how loving she is. Other memories of my childhood remain blank, of course my mom doesn't know everything about me. We went home to a new house, it was just the two of us. Living happily and peacefully.

I don't really need my memories, but sometimes I wonder what happened when I was a kid, cause I get a feeling that I need to remember someone....

I was staring a a girl, she had an innocent smile, but I can't see her face clearly. She stretched out her hand to me and said..

"Hey! Are you trapped in this hospital too? Want t be friends?"

I jolted. Was that a memory? A memory when I was trap in a hospital... But why did it come back now?

I don't need to know who she is, but I WANT to. If I search for that girl know, Who knows what kind of trouble I might get into, especiall with a monster girl inlove with me.

I just want to step away from my past and try to create a future...

but...

My curious mind seems to have made it's decission.
