The Short Love Between Jean and Rob

Getting Ready

Jean's P.O.V

It's now February, I still feel weak and vulnerable.
I have to call someone who would understand how I am feeling...
So I called Athena.

Hey Athena..I kinda need you right now

Athena : Oh, sure, you need something?

I was just feeling a bit down..I just couldn't help but worry about Rob's condition.

Athena : Of course you will, you love him, I know that it's a rough time for both of you, especially for his family, I could just hope all of you the best, I've been there since day one, It's also hard for me to see you both like this.

Thank you, I just wanted to talk to someone before sleeping and having nightmares about this again.

Athena : No problem, It'll always be a pleasure, I am willing to stay up late just to help you get through this.

Again, thank you so much, I'll always appreciate your help.

Athena : Are you sure that you're fine now? Are you actually ready to sleep?

I don't know anymore, Athena, this is killing me inside, not being able to hold him, kiss his cheek, sing him a song...I hope that he'll be fine.

Athena : .....Well, I guess we could only hope.

Alright, goodnight Athena.

Athena : Goodnight Jean.

I just stared at my window before turning to my side and trying to sleep.
I can't sleep..I sat up and just looked at the wall until I felt myself crying.

This is hard for me, seeing Rob like that, I.V on his hand, pale skin, and tired eyes.

It's probably not something that I should be concerning myself, but I LOVE HIM.

We just met last June, and yet, here we are, alot has happened.

Starting from Gale, Lisa, and then Rob.

Everything feels so new and painful.
Every memory that I spent with him, It's painful.

I'm trying to stop myself from crying too loud, my mom, dad and sister are probably sleeping.

I don't want them to see me like this.

I just wiped my tears away and tried to sleep.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I woke up by the sound of my alarm.
Huh? 5:00 AM? well, I forgot to adjust my alarm, It's examination day, so our classes starts at exact 9:00 AM, no need to rush.

I sat up and walked over to my bathroom, I washed my face and then brushed my teeth.

I won't even bother with brushing my hair today, I'll just go downstairs with this beast.

"Hey big foot, didn't know that you were coming to eat breakfast with us hahaha" my mom greeted me, what a wonderful morning.

She then pulls me aside and then hugged me, she whispered into my ears and said "I can see your puffy eyes, honey, I know that you cried last night, you also cried the night before that, you've been crying for 3 days now" she stated while stroking my hair.

I just smiled and then hugged her before getting myself one glass of milk.

"How is my messy and adorable daughter doing?" I heared my dad say, I turned around and saw him with today's newspaper.

I didn't say a word, I never really spoke that much early in the morning.

Instead, I just laughed.

My mom and dad are getting ready to go to work, they'll probably leave 6:30 AM in the morning.

They work somewhere a little bit far from home.

"Hey Jean!!" I hear a squeaky little voice behind the door and saw Jannette.

She ran towards me and started hugging my leg...the day looks normal..but I know that this day would be a little bit stressful.

It's Valentine's day...and yet all of us have work and classes.

I know that my mom and dad are craving for a break and some romantic date.

Yet they can't have that, not even I could have that.

No one does, did I mention that Rob got out of the hospital last night? Their flight is probably this morning.

I am so happy that Rob is out of the hospital now, but I feel so uneasy.

I just feel like I don't know something that I should.

Rob's P.O.V

*sigh* Jean might know by now that I'm going back to the Philippines right now...but I can't tell her the whole story yet.

Right now, all I could do is hope that I'll be able to go back before their classes dismisses.
