Chapter # 2

"Wh-what!?!?". Cole asked in disbelief.

He turned to me having to see the same facial expression that he has right now.

"I-is what I heard real Cole?". I ask as tears started to swell out my eyes.

"Are you sure its them?". Cole asked making sure to sound strong.

"Y-yes sir... Mrs. Anderson is in fact in the hospital right now with miss Wicks". The butler stated.

"C-cynthia!?!? How come? Why the hell are they together?". Cole asked with range.

"We don't know sir but... it seemed like they had talked about something". The butler explained.

I know what they were talking about, but... W-why? How did this happen? I think to myself as my tears dropped down my cheek, even though his mother was more close with Cynthia... Therese was like a mother to me too, she's so kind, understanding, whenever I have problems I always turn to her. Cynthia, like what I said earlier, she is my best friend, half my life time she was there up until now, she's my first true friend.

"What hospital?".Cole asks not wanting to ask more questions.

Once the butler said the name of the hospital, Cole ended the call and the both of us directly went to his car hastily.

Having Cole hurrying I made sure that we would not die, arriving we directly went to their designated rooms. Cole first went to his mothers room, while I go to Cynthia's.

As I entered the dimly lit room, Cynthia laid almost lifelessly on the hospital bed.

"C-cynthia... I would not expect this to happen so soon". I said as I held her cold hands..

"C-cole... take care of him... please". She murmured even when her life is on the brink of ending... she's still thinking of him...

More tears started flowing down my face .

"I will... I promise". I said while sobbing.

Taking out the newly bought bracelet from its box , I gently placed it on her wrist. Even in the state of dying anything looks good on her..

Just then...

*toot* *tooot* *toooot* the lines on the screen telling us her heart rate started to become straight. I then hurriedly pressed the red button beside her bed so that the doctors will get the call. Just then Cole entered the room with tears flowing his face , more started flowing out as he saw Cynthia.

"N-no...Why is this happening". He complained while looking at Cynthia being surrounded by doctors while using the defibrillatior.

Cole shut his eyes tightly while breathing heavily not wanting to see whats going on. And because of this I'm sure he knows... he knows that its finally her time.

Just then a nurse came rushing into the room.

"S-sir Anderson your mother...". The nurse trailed off seeing as Cole was suffering with another ones death.

Cole rushed out of the room and went to his mother's side, I also followed. Once I entered the room it was very quiet, I saw Cole hold his mother's hand.

"M-mom... why were you with Cynthia? What are you doing laying here lifelessly? Where's the teasing mom I once knew? H-hey wake up... Your still going to meet your grandchildren remember... remember? The ones that you always tease me about? Mom please come back to me...". Cole said as he lightly shakes his mothers body.

I stood there watching the painful scene in front of me.

"M-mom wake up... You promised that you will keep an eye on me while I take care of the company remember? You even taught me how to do things the right way when I was in training... Mom 4 more months left I will be the future CEO you dreamed of, Mom what about all our plans... mother pl---". He stopped surprised at what I did.

I hugged him tight from the back. I cant take it... He isnt the only one suffering here, I am too.

"Allistria.. where's father dammit!". He said in frustration.

His father is always out of the country, because he's busy with improving the company.

"We're more important than that company right?". He asked.

I just nodded, I was about to say something when... a nurse went inside the room. I looked at the nurse, and knew what was about to happen, seeing as Cole understood what that meant he cried some more.

"B-both at the same time..."He said looking out the window with teary eyes as the nurses started moving the dead body out of the room.

I now know that I really have to do what I promised Cynthia I would do.

"I... gave her the bracelet". I said out of the blue.

"W-why? I never got the chance to get her back again, you should have kept it". He said lifelessly looking at the bed where his mother laid now empty.

"Cole...". Was all I could utter.

I couldn't tell him the reason... He's hurting and its too early for that.

"We better get you home Cole". I said as I wiped the tears left on my cheek.

He just did as I suggested, we got out of the hospital gloomy. On the way to his mansion...

*Ring* *Ring*

His phone once again rang, I was about to answer it since he's driving when...

"Dont answer it... ever since I received a call today something bad happens". He demanded.

I followed and left it untouched, it kept ringing for a few more times before giving up, but then...

My phone vibrated giving off a notification that I have just received a text. I looked at it and saw that...

"Y-your father's home". I hesitantly spoke, knowing how he despises his father.

He didn't mind what I said and continued driving back to his mansion.
