The man who came in gave me a smile and walk over to my bedside. "U...Urm.... Do I know you?" I asked carefully. The man just stood there silently, with his clear blue eyes looking at me. "Were you by chance, in the garden the day before or were you waiting for me?" I proceed to ask hoping for his reply. He just shook his head lightly and pulled the chair and sat down. I didn't understand what he meant by shaking his head and why he didn't gave me any answers. So I just stared at his face. He didn't move any muscles at all. I felt embarassed after staring his face for a minute and turned away. "Hhhh... Ha... Hahaha..." the man laughed. I gave him a serious stare but to received a even exaggerated reaction. "Fine. Laugh all you want, I'll continue reading my book." I threw those words at him and took my book up to read. He kept his composure after what I said and took away the book from me. " I'm glad." He finally spoke. I don't understand why he said he was glad, and so I looked at him and answered," Why? Who are you?" "I'm Javier, do you remember?" he replied earnestly. "Of course I remember you! You spoke to me in the garden the day before by the bench, didn't you?" I replied immediately. "Yes." he said and showed signs of being dejected. "Urrmmm... Do I know you? I find you really familiar but I can't remember anything. Could you tell me?" I boldly asked without even thinking. Javier looked at me, not speaking, with those blue eyes that seemed dejected and nervous. Looking at how he looked, I affirmed him,"Sorry... if... I offeneded you in any way." Like he was thinking of what he should reply, he looked down and paused for a moment. "No... It's... nothing... So..." he murmured and paused again. "S-sure. Ummm... Javier? Were you the one who came by frequently? Well, I heard from the nurses, so..." I tried to assure him and divert from the topic. He didn't say anything but from what I could see, he should be the one.
Suddenly, I had a splitting headache and I fell towards him. He reacted quickly and caught me by his arms. Then, I remembered a scene from the accident, where I saw a figure running towards me, shouting something but all I could see was a silhouette holding onto me.
"Mi... Mi... Miya.. Miya! Can you hear me?!" someone shook me and shouted by my ear. "U--uhhhh Uhhhhhh Ye--yeaaa... I'm... I'm alright." I replied as I lifted my face to see Javier's close and worried face. I was shocked and I immediately shove him away and responded, "S-so-sorry, u-uhhhh th-th-thanks!" I bet my face was really red like a tomato even though I tried to hide my face from his eyes. "Miya... You... are you... alright?" he asked softly. I could feel his gaze upon my hot and red face but I couldn't turn to look at him in his eyes as I didn't want to let him see how embarrass I was, so I just nodded.
"...'Kay... Maybe I should visit another time." his voice sounded cold, somehow. The truth is, hearing him say that made me feel a little lonely but I just nodded. And just as he was walking off to the door, I regretted it. "Ja.... Jay? Hmmm???" just when I was to call out to him, something flashed in my mind.
It was the silhouette of the person holding onto me again. This time, I could make out what he was saying. "Hey! Hey! Miss! Hold out! Don't sleep! Come on! Open your eyes! Dammit!" the man shouted. I could feel the pain and also the numbness of my body was getting and how warm that man was. Then it was gone. "Uhhh-uhhh... Urghhhhh... What.... was that?" I mumbled to myself, thinking of what just happened. Something felt warm holding to me when the flashbacks were gone. I opened my eyes and saw myself buried in someone's chest. It was a familiar feeling and I could smell something from the shirt. Is that-- perfume? Men's perfume?
"ah-ahhhhh... excuse... me?" I spoke. The person let loose of me and looked at me. "Javier?" I thought he left. "I'll stay here." he looked worriedly at me and sat by my side. "It's ok... I just... had some flashbacks... I think...?" I replied weakly. Javier was obviously a little annoyed and he pulled the blanket over me to make me rest without speaking a single word. Seeing as how he behaved, I didn't say more and tried to sleep. I didn't know I fell alseep almost as soon as I laid down and I dreamt of something.
I didn't know whether I was truly dreaming or anything since it was pitch-black the entire time and I could only hear the voices of some people talking. There was the sound of the siren from ambulance and sounds of people murmuring and someone most probably around me saying like heart rate, blood type, pulse rate and such. There was someone saying "Someone took off after hitting her and... and she climbed up awhile after... but she fell unconcious short after by the traffic..." I am rather confused but after awhile, I was convinced that those were what I heard when I was losing conciousness. "She's getting delirious. Quick! Get a blood bag and inject aneasthetic! We got to save her! On the double! ER!" "Miss! Miss! Miya! Be strong!" was the last sentence I heard.
I opened my eyes. I sat up and looked around the room. Through the lights shining through the blinds from the outside, I could see Javier was asleep, on the sofa. Was he here the whole night? I looked at the time, 3am.. I slept for 8 hours, should I wake him up? No. I should just continue to sleep... But... As I looked over, I wanted to see his sleeping face. I had no idea why but I still went over and stared at his sleeping face. He looked like a little kid, smirking in his sleep. How adorable, I thought to myself. I was tempted to touch his face, so I gently brushed my fingertips on his cheeks down to his chin. His skin was rather smooth and cold... When I realized what I was doing, I was already smiling with my eyes glued on his face.
What am I doing?! I gasped and quickly stood up as I was walking away. I could hear Javier saying something, so I turned back and listened in but I couldn't make out anything except I heard a word "Sorry". Hmmm... He's apologising to someone? I couldn't do anything more and so, I went to sleep again.
The man who came in gave me a smile and walk over to my bedside. "U...Urm.... Do I know you?" I asked carefully. The man just stood there silently, with his clear blue eyes looking at me.
