Chapter 7
Emily’s POV
When he passed out after saying, “help me” I was so afraid he was gonna die or something.
Oh, God! This can’t be happening right now. Nothing should happen to him, oh God! I haven’t even gotten the chance to tell him how I deeply feel about him and even get the chance of having a good conversation with him.
I pulled him up out of the door with great difficulty and placed his half dead body on my back with the last strength in me praying silently for anyone in a car should pass or something but he mustn’t die. I can’t afford to lose him.
I was still struggling with his body when I sighted a car approaching the quiet road.
“Please, help us.” I voiced out loud to catch the person’s attention and the person pulled over immediately.
An elderly man came out, “What happened over here?” He questioned.
“He had an accident and there was no one here except me so I quickly helped him. Please sir, drive us to a hospital nearby.” I requested, weeping bitterly.
“Okay child but did you know the person? I need to know so they won’t have any implications on me” He asked.
“Yes sir, he is one of my classmates.” I answered.
“That’s good, let's get him into the car.” He answered and helped me pull him from my back and place him at the back seat while I took the passage seat before he drove us off to a nearby hospital.
Hang on a little, crush. I muttered with tears flowing freely down my cheeks.
The car pulled over to a stop when we arrived in front of the hospital. I got out and rushed inside the hospital to call for an emergency.
Three nurses rushed outside with me to take him in a stroller, which he was placed on and was taken in while I kept following them together with the man who helped us.
We got to the emergency area when one of the nurses stopped us from following them, “You guys will have to wait here.”
“Please save him.” I said, holding on to the nurse’s hand.
“We will do our best.” She replied as he was rolled inside the operation room.
“Don’t worry child, he’s gonna make it. I guarantee you that.” The man said with a warm smile.
“I hope so too.” I murmured.
The man who helped us in his car left some minutes ago after I thanked him for his support.
I don’t know how many minutes or even hours the doctor is going to take in saving Antonio, but all that mattered to me is seeing Antonio hale and healthy.
After an hour and forty five minutes, the door opened and the doctor came out as I rushed towards him immediately.
“How's he doctor?” I asked anxiously.
“You’re very lucky you brought the victim on time. If not we would have lost him but he’s out of danger now so calm down dear.” He said.
“Thank God!! Thank you so much doctor.” I replied, excited.
“It's my job dear. Are you the patient’s relative?” The doctor asked.
“No but he’s my classmate.” I answered.
“Well, do you know how to contact his parents or anyone? He added.
“I’m sorry I don’t know any of them.” I responded honestly.
“I’m afraid you can’t leave until one of the patient's parents or anyone related to him pays the bills.” The doctor insisted.
“Okay, I understand. I’ll have to ask him how to contact his parents or anyone.”
“The patient is resting so you have to wait so you both can sort it out.” He said and walked away.
I opened the door slowly and walked inside to see Antonio lying on the bed unconscious with a drip fixed on his hand.
I walked to his bed and sat at the edge staring at his pale face with little bruises and his lip completely dry yet sexy and tempting. I moved my hand towards his lip slowly and touched them.
I thought he was gonna wake up so I quickly took it away and continued to stare at his handsome face.
I wish he's my boyfriend. I would have kissed his lip and had my first kiss with the person I love but it's just a fantasy.
I really wanna see his face really closely because this moment will only be the last time I can get to see his face this close. I took my face so close to his face staring at his pointed nose, eye brow, lip and face shape that’s when a crazy idea popped into my head.
Stealing a kiss from him won’t hurt, right. I murmured as the thought came to me to peck him in the lip.
I was a little nervous so I closed my eyes and bent to kiss him but before I could process what was happening. I felt a hand pull me close and his eyes were still closed when I felt my virgin lip come in contact with his lip.
Antonio’s POV
I don’t know why my head hurts pretty badly if only I can recall what happened? But I can feel something fixed on my hand with my body resting on something soft.
I remembered my brake failing while driving and luckily for me I saw a big tree around a road and forced the car towards it. I felt a really big hit on my head and felt a little dizzy when I hit the tree but someone helped me by saving me from falling off the car.
It was a girl, she was literally the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I felt a spike I haven’t felt in my heart for the first time when I saw her. I remembered saying, “Help me.” before losing consciousness.
I didn’t open my eyes to see the environment I was in and I also had a crazy dream about a girl exactly like the perfect girl I was dying to have, right in front of me trying to kiss me or something.
That’s one hell of a dream. I wish it could happen. I was still thinking in my head when I felt someone’s breath fanning my face, as I opened my eyes a bit slowly to see the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.
Her beauty surpasses all the girls I had come across and it shows she was trying to kiss me with her eyes closed at the same time nervously unaware that I was awake just like in the dream I had a while.
I can’t let this moment let me by, losing all of my senses as the feeling I always have around the girl with horrible makeup at school rushed up on me.
What does this angel here have to do with that girl? I thought, still staring at the damsel in front of me, and waiting to see if she was going to carry on with what’s in her head or so.
Her attitude was like that of a girl who is about to have her first kiss or even don’t know how to do it. I don’t know what got into me but I found myself wanting to kiss her red small lip as I found myself pulling her face close to my face with my hand and crushing her lip on mine.
I kept kissing her real bad and felt a spark inside of me as I opened my eyes. It was like faith had installed this moment for me with this unknown girl.
Fuck! I’ve never felt anything like this before from a kiss but who is this girl that I find myself wanting as my girl? I thought pulling her closer and closer devouring every inch of her mouth in mine.
She opened her eyes immediately in shock, staring right at me with her oceanic blue eyes which looked exactly like the one girl I had seen.
This shouldn’t be what I’m thinking it is? I wondered. Could she be the same girl with the horrible makeup?”
She pulled away from me with shocking looks like someone who was given a death sentence.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to steal a kiss from you. I was only trying to remove something from your face.” She said, shuddering.
I was speechless, and still staring at her damn pretty face.
She's the one! She's the same girl but how come she looks this beautiful more than all the girls in the school? At first I thought the reason she was putting on makeup was to cover her ugliness but it was vice versa. I found myself wondering.
“That means you hide behind those horrible makeup not to disclose your true beauty for what reason?” I asked after getting my voice back.
“Hahahaha… Wha-what do you mean?” She laughed sarcastically.
“Why do you hide your real beauty when you’re more beautiful than any other girl?” I asked again.
I really don’t know why but I keep feeling myself wanting to know why she had to disguise herself with horrible makeup. But, one thing is clear, she is definitely hiding something which I'm gonna find out for sure.
“Oh, no! I totally forgot about doing my makeup.” She mumbled touching her face with her palms and almost freaking out.
“I owe you no explanations so I've to go now since you’re good.” She rushed her words and rushed towards the door about opening it when she paused like she forgot something to say.
“Ehmmm… the doctor said you should call any relative of yours to pay the bills for the treatment. If not I won’t be able to leave.”
All this time my heart was right, she's the first girl to have ever made my heart go wild. Also the kiss I just had with her made me more alive and sparking.
“Are you even listening?” She uttered, sweetly.
“Yeah, I’ll need a phone to contact them, don't you think so?” I replied.
“Okay, I’ll go ask one of the nurses if anyone could lend me a phone.” She answered and walked out.
Man, Tony, you’re one hell of a lucky guy to finally meet your dream girl who happens to be around you yet so far. I thought, grinning to myself like I just won a lottery.
Emily’s POV
I walked outta Antonio’s ward to ask any of the nurses to help me in getting a phone so I would be able to go home.
I’m sure mother and Lily are looking for me thinking I must have run away. I really forgot about all of that until a while ago when it dawned on me I was sent to get groceries and had to save Antonio who almost died if I wasn’t there.
All that isn’t gonna be an excuse for me at home, I know Lily and her mother were gonna join forces to yell, starve or even beat me up by designing all my body with bruises but however, I know it's gonna be worth it since I saved my crush.
I walked to the counter and met one of the nurses who rolled Antonio into the hospital chattering with her colleagues. I approached her, maybe she could help me out.
“Hi, please I need your help with something.” I said.
“Oh! You’re that girl, right?” She asked.
“Yes and I really need your help.” I answered.
“Sure girl. Tell me, what is it?” She asked again.
“I need a phone which we are gonna use to call the patient’s relative or anyone close to pay the bills.” I stated.
“That’s not a problem, you can use mine.” She smiled widely, handing her phone to me.
“Thank you so much, I’ll bring it back right away.” I promised.
“You deserve it girl, you’re polite and beautiful as well. Any guy who gets to marry you is gonna be a lucky man.” She commented.
“Thanks!” I replied blushfully and headed to Antonio’s ward extremely happy.
I don’t know what is gonna happen when I get home. I just pray Antonio is able to contact one of his relatives so I can leave since he’s all okay now. I thought and heaved a long sigh.
