Chapter 7
"So this is all the documents that I have to fill in?" I ask to the lady at the registrar office in the campus
" Yes, and don't forget to get all the signature as well" She replied.
"Very well then, Thanks" I say as I head out from the office and waited at the hall as I promised to wait for Diana here.
" It's final then yea?" Dianna says as she approaches me.
"Yeaaa- I just have to fill in all these and get signatures from lecturers and account department" I explained to her. She was not all in about me dropping out of Uni.
I remember everything, of what happened. That whole time I was in a coma, being in someone else's body, the feeling of dying, somehow when it's supposed to make me feel great for surviving all that I feel otherwise.
"Just promise we will still see each other yea"
Eventually I know we're going to see each other less from time to time, but I can't say that blatantly right to her so instead, "Okay, I'll try my best"
"What are you planning to do after this?" she asks as we walk
"I'm just gonna help around the house first, do whatever needs to be done that'll take some time off of me. After that, I'm still figuring things out" I explained to her.
"Or you know you could just stay" I let out a small laugh "Seriously, just stay at least until you graduate, and then later you can decide whether to continue or not." she pleaded, eagerly which I may add.
"You're asking me to rethink it all again?"
"Yes Matt, or more like I'm trying to make you change your mind"
I let out a small sigh followed with a smile and face her "Fine Di, you've convinced me just for today. I can come back tomorrow to get all of the signatures"
"Great! Now where do you park? Lets get out of here" she says enthusiastically
"Actually.. I took the bus here. So lets go to yours instead yea?" we head to her car. She unlocked the car and sit on the driver seat, and I choose to sit next to her.
" Have you driven at all after you're out of the hospital?" she asks me carefully
I turn to her slowly and replied "No." a few minutes went by.
"Can you let me out there, just at the side of the street."
"What? why? I can drop you at your place if you want to"
"No, it's okay just let me out of the car" I can feel my self feeling hot, my heart rate just keep increasing rapidly.
"Fine, but just up ahead further where there's a bus stop"
"God Diana! Just stop the car" She was shocked and pull over immediately. I get out of the car in an instance once it stopped. I pace around with my hands on my hip. I close my eyes and lean back to the wall, and slowly sliding down to a sitting position. I rest one hand on my chest where I can feel my heartbeat is starting to beat slower. I took a deep breath and throw my head back still with my eyes closed
"What the heck? You scared the hell out of me" she says, almost like a shouting. She studies my current state, looking at me up and down trying figure out.
"I think.." I say still trying to keep my breath as if I've been running. I get up slowly "I think I'm just gonna take the bus" I say as I start to walk away and give Dianna a quick wave.
"Matt!" she called me out. I stopped and turn around. "Can you just.. God! Can you just talk to me" she says almost like a pleading
"I'll call you later, I promise" I say forcing a smile on my face before turning back around and walk away. She gets in the car, and drove away fast. I took the bus and head home.
Dianna didn't just left things the way it did which I'm not even surprised. I can hear her car from my room. I stayed laying down on the bed, with my back leaning on the bed post. She rings the bell and my mum opened the door for her and lets her in. She knows her way around the house, I can hear footsteps heading to my room. She opened the door without knocking, harshly to if I may add.
"I was just about to call you" in between before I finished my sentence she lean down and hugs me. I lean forward and wrap my arms around her, hugging her back.
"I've almost lost you once, I don't want to lose you" she says while still hugging me tight. I slowly let go off the hug, and so did she.
"I'm sorry for scaring you like that earlier, I didn't mean to" I say apologetic
"What happened?"
"I just feel that I have to get out of the car. I think I was having an anxiety attack. I had this feeling but not this extreme when i was on the way back home from the hospital. But not to the extent that I need to get out of the car." I explained to her
"You should tell your doctor about this, maybe he can help you with your anxiety"
"I know, i will" I say just to ease her. She lean down to hug me again, tighter this time. Our face was just next to each other, I lean my head back a little and instantly I was just less than an inch from her face, and I just lean forward and starts kissing her, she doesn't back away. Her hug got tighter, and I move my hand to caress her face. I can taste her familiar cherry chap stick. She move her body without breaking the kiss to sit on me, her arms and leg wrapped around me. I was just so in the moment with her, I forgot everything.
"Di... wait..." I say in between kisses. "we... shouldn't.... Di" She didn't stop, instead she has become more passionate.
"stop..." I say still in between kisses. This couldn't go any further. I immediately get up, tossing her to the side onto the bed. I walk a few steps away from the bed, facing my back to her.
"You have a boyfriend." I utter slowly still not looking at her face.
"I thought you want this" she said
"Why are you with Him?" I finally ask the question
"it's complicated" she says apologetically
"Do explain then"
"Matthew..."
"Yes" I say eagerly, still wanting the answer.
"I don't know what to say, it's just... he played a significant part for me while you were in a coma. He helped me a lot."
"That! That's it?" I ask in disbelief
"Look you may not realize how hard it was on all of us."
"oh come on!"
"No Matt, really."
"It wasn't even him who did all that." I say in disgust at the thought of him. "I shouldn't have kissed you then, if only.."
"no.. I should've pulled away, I'm the one with the boyfriend"
"I'm not talking about just now, I'm talking about before"
"But we've never....unless...Don't tell me that you—" she trails off
"Just leave Diana, for the sake of both of us." I say while opening up the door for her. She left without saying a word. And again, things are left hanging.
