All I could remember was the world spinning around me as my heart races wildly than anything. Everything was turning vague as I tried to keep my senses open.....Brayden was coming out of his car together with his old friends as he held the hand of a girl I've never seen before. He was wearing the same look I was very possessive of secretly when we were in our pre-teens.

I knew I liked him. I mean, who wouldn't? He would smile at me sweetly as if I was the most precious thing in the world. He would held my hand as if it were our last. He would stare at me with the brightest eyes as if I was more than any masterpiece there was.

Now, he holds her hand as if he will never let her go even death will part them. He smiles at her as if reading the most beautiful story ever written. He stares at her as if he will never get tired watching her even if it will take hours.

The one that got away. I had the chance to stop him from slipping away, but I still let him go without even looking back.

I liked him.....

No, I loved the hell out of that guy and I just realized that.

How could I have been so stupid?

How could I have been so naive?

As he slowly approaches the entrance of the school's entrance with the brightest of smiles I ever seen, my horrified eyes met his.

It was as if the stars determined this moment for so long and still watched two souls who could have the most beautiful love story every written by the galaxy. They stared with sparkly eyes as they witness the epiphany of the fool girl came to be saying, "There goes the fool envy the happiness of the other. The happiness she could've had."

"Brayden..." I whispered as I stared at him from afar with shaky lips and shallow breaths.

It was as if the world stopped as my vision turned black.

Waking up to the blinding lights of the hospital was not the biggest shock, it was the conversation that occurred under them.

It was as if the world crushed over me as I have the hard time keeping myself awake and upright. It felt as if I could vanish any second with how weak my state is in. I could barely move my finger tips nor move my lips to speak. It even took me a long time to realize that there were four more people in the room: Uncle Philip, Brayden, Luca and Bree.

"Water..." My hoarse voice croaked as Luca quickly stood up and took the nearby pitcher and filled me a cup.

I realized I've been unconscious for three days and it sucks because I freaking missed my first day. There's no way that Uncle Philip will give me another chance. That old man is way way more paranoid that any father there is.

"How are you feeling?" Uncle Philip asked as he held my hand and caressed it. I closed my eyes as I could feel another headache coming.

"Fine as ever." I chuckled weakly as I slowly stood up.

Brayden no longer likes you because you're ugly...

I shook my head, shrugging away all thoughts that would give me another trouble. I took a deep breath as I tried to call Brayden's name, but the doctor took my chance as he asked everyone out except me and my uncle.

Uncle stared at the doctor with something I couldn't read before he started to speak.

"What's wrong with Irene, doc? I thought she was doing fine." Uncle spoke as he folded his arms together by his torso and sat on the chair beside my bed.

"Uhh... Can I speak this with you outside?" the doctor pleaded.

Too bad they did not close the door properly.

"She's running out of time."

"A year at most."

Life really do sucks.
