Keifer's POV
I woke up at 06:15. I was in Jay's arms.
I moved a little to see, she was already awake, stroking my hair.
When she saw me awake, she asked.
Oh, how are you awake? Are you feeling ok?
Yeah, I'm ok, why?
You probably had a bad dream in your sleep, and you were scared.
Did this really happen?
Yeah, now I have to go brush my teeth.
Please, a little longer.
Hmm, okay, but only for a little while.
Okay. I answered, hugged her tightly and lay down clinging to her.
I was like that for a while, just then, a sound of someone coughing came.
I moved away from Jay, got up from the bed, and then checked on Mumma.
Mumma, do you want something? I asked
I just wanted a glass of water. She answered.
I picked up the glass kept on the table,then gave it to mumma.
Are you ok now, mumma? I asked
I'm fine, dear. What time is it? Asked mumma
It's 6 am. I answered
When do we go back home? She asked
Just a few more days, then we will go back, Mumma. I answered
She lay down in the bed again.
I sat down on the chair next to mumma's bed.
She held my hand and asked.
When will Keirenn and Keigan come?
I'll tell them when you are discharged. I answered
All this has been happening for so many days, but I didn't even know about it
it.
Now that my mother is back, I'm no longer that weak; I don't have to worry so much about Keigan and Keiren anymore,
But need to pay some attention to Keigan.
I didn't even notice that Mamma had gone back to sleep.
I caressed mumma's face, stared at her for a while, then got up.
When I turned to Jay's bed, she wasn't there.
Jay, where are you? I asked
I heard a sound from the bathroom, so I went there.
She was there, trying to brush her teeth, but couldn't.
I quickly went to her,
Do you need help? I asked
She looked at me with puppy eyes, then nodded.
I helped her brush her teeth. When I finished, I gave her the glass of water to rinse her mouth.
We came out, ans sat on the bed.
Jay's POV
Just then, the door opened, and Aries came in.
He came near Jay, then asked.
Jay, how are you? Are you feeling ok now?
Yeah, I'm feeling a little better. I answered
Where were you yesterday? I asked
Kuya called me yesterday for an important work; he was very angry with you. He answered
Did you tell him everything? I asked, a little scared
Don't worry, I didn't tell him, but when they come, you'll have to give them.
He answered
I looked between Keifer & Aries, then scratched my head in frustration.
I'm going to get scolded again. I Murmured
(In the afternoon)
I was just sitting on the bed while eating rice.
The doctor shifted me to another room, so I was alone.
Suddenly, the door brushed open.
Oh, kuya, mumma & tita
Jay, what have you done, and how did this happen?
Why didn't you come home yesterday? Now I won't allow you to take even a single step out of the house. He said
Kuya, I was just. I couldn't finish, suddenly mumma hugged me
I felt pain in my back.
Ahhhh. I yelled, she immediately let go and asked
Why are you yelling?
She got shot in the back. Aries answered in a low voice
What, how? Oh, that's why she ...
Because of Keifer, right? Angelo asked a little angrily.
K ... kuy .. a.
How many times have I told you to stay away from him? Don't you understand it at once.
I won't leave those guys, enough now.
Mumma started walking towards the door, but before she could, the door opened Keiferer came in.
Mumma immediately grabbed him by the collar and yelled.
Look, what happened to Jay because of you, can't you understand it once and for all? Stay away from her; she got hurt because of you. Who knows? She may even die one day because of you.
I try to get u, but my back hurts badly again.
Ahhhh. I shouted, ignoring the pain and got up.
Mumma, please stop. I said, Try to control her, but she didn't
Mumma ..... Stop it I screamed..
She let go of him, then turned to me in shock.
What happened, ned Jay? I'm doing all this for your good, right? She said calmly
Jay ... You shouldn't talk to your mom like this. Kuya yelled
You guys, please don't blame him. I got hurt due to my own mistake. I said angrily
Jay, please, stop. Keifer whispered
I ignored, I continued.
Whenever something happens, why do you people always think it's his fault.
It's because he always stays with me that's why his enemies are after me.
Do you guys think he can't protect? He has always supported me.
He has always saved me; once, he almost died because of me.
When you all were forcing me to go to a psychologist that time he made me understand and told you go only if you are willing to.
I'm always with you.
He even changed himself for me,
He always understood me.
I feel comfortable when I'm with him.
I knelt, started crying, and everyone was quiet.
