BEING HALSEY

CHAPTER 63

No. Just no.

The doctor that attended to Tray is Marissa's fiancee?

Are you kidding me???

His name is Kurt Waters, a medical doctor and a surgeon all together. He has deep blue eyes, a clean shaved beard and short blonde hair laid back.

" Nice to meet you." Kurt says and sticks his hand out for a shake.

Marissa is standing beside him, a simple smile on her face.

" I've been dreaming of this moment. I've finally meet the famous beautiful Halsey." Kurt says and smiles brightly.

This is weird....

" Well, your dream has come true." I fake a smile and look at Marissa.

She looks back at me.

" Can we talk?" She asks as Kurt excuses himself.

" I...Umm----"

" Please?" Her eyes plead.

I groan and nod.

We walk to the hospital's cafeteria and sit on the white plastic chairs facing each other.

Atleast the place is empty.

Some privacy.

" You want something to drink? Juice? hot chocolate?"

" No. I'm fine."

She sighs nervously.

" Look, before I start saying anything, I just want you to know that I love you so much and I deeply regret what I did. I'm also not forcing you to like me or make you forgive me, although all I want is for you to forgive me right now. I just want your forgiveness when you're ready, okay?"

I nod.

" I had you when I was your age. We met with your dad at highschool and went to prom and parties together and before I knew it, I found out I was pregnant."

She rubs both of her hands.

I silently watch her.

" I was scared, okay? I freaked out. I didn't ever thought I'd easily get myself pregnant. I was in shock and confused and ended up depressed. I told your father and ofcourse he decided to take responsibility but my parents had a big issue with all this and they didn't want me carrying a child of a high school graduate. I had no choice but to keep my pregnancy and disappear the minute I'll give birth to you." She pauses and wipes her tears.

" I'm so sorry...I didn't even get time to hold you in my arms."

She breaks into sobs.

My heart breaks.

Tray was right, I had to hear her side of the story.

" I'm so sorry.... Believe me...I never wanted to leave you. I was young and my parents made decisions for me. I'm sorry."

My tears burst out and I quickly wipe them away. I feel so bad for blaming her. She's was innocent all along and didn't want any of this to happen.

I feel so ashame for shutting her out.

" And your dad." She chuckles in-between sobs." He did a great job...I mean, look at you... you've grown to be a beautiful and a smart sweet charming princess..." She chuckles again.

" And you have a boyfriend...a handsome one, aaah my small little muffin." She adds and I laugh at the word "Muffin"

Marissa is kinda fun.

" But I failed you...and I want to make it up to you."

She touches my hand.

I tense at the contact.

" Can I ask----"

" Sorry to interrupt," Kurt says panting. " It's about the patient, Tray?"

" Yea? What's wrong?"

" He's missing."
