Though her eyes were still close, he could see her heart going up and down which means she is breathing “Raymond!cassy is back to me !” fred yelled as tears run down his cheek yet the smile on his face was so evident. He ran then hugged Raymond saying “Thank you ray now I understand that sometimes we need to face problem and not allow our fear consume us” . “Am sorry fred that I pushed you against your will “Raymond said “You were only doing what you were supposed to as my friend. “Fred said patting ray on his shoulder. Fred went home with Raymond leaving cassy in the care of the doctor and nurse who were administering to her . He needed to soak himself in a warm soapy water. He needed to eat a good and satisfying meal which he had denied himself for the past three months . Immediately fred got home, he hurried to his room .on opening the door he saw how dirty and dusty his room was . “ I haven't swept for the past three months “ he said feeling ashamed that he had neglected everything just because cassy was lying lifeless on that hospital bed . “ I would have been miserable if cassy didn't wake”he said as reality dawn on him sending cold down his body . “Well she is breathing now and will wake any moment from now “ fred squeal running into the bathroom. Fred had a quick bath as he wanted to be the first person cassy would see when she wakes up. He applied his lotion then searched out a blue joggers and hoddie which he wore. After dressing up, he hurried to cassy's room as he needed to get her clothes in case there was need for a change of clothes. A rusty stench welcomed him immediately he opened the door to cassy's room . Ever since the incident that made cassy became lifeless, he hasn't been able to step his foot into her room . Putting the thought of the rusty stench aside, fred walked to cassy's wardrobe . There weren’t enough clothes as Cassy’s stuff was still in the luggage that she went to carry the day of the incident . “Oh, I haven’t thought about it “Fred murmured massaging his forehead. His eyes roamed around the room in search of Cassy’s clothes. He saw a luggage which was exactly the same as the one Cassy took into that taxi after checking out of the hotel that day . Curious to know if it’s the same he walked slowly towards the luggage which was beside the bed. On opening it,he saw that the luggage was filled with Cassy’s clothes . “Oh ray, what would I have done without you”he said wiping the tears that were finding it’s ways down his cheek with his palm . As it was only ray that could have brought the luggage in since the door to Cassy’s room doesn’t have a lock. He picked a blue gown when he couldn’t find a blue joggers nor hoodie as he wanted to wear the same color of clothes with Cassy . After picking other stuffs which he believed Cassy needed , he made to walk out. “ this place needs a thorough cleaning” he thought in his heart before walking out . Fred had a little bag containing Cassy’s stuffs on his hands as he walked into the living room . Keeping the bag on the table, fred walked into the kitchen as he needed to prepare something that he and cassy could eat when she wakes. “Ray “ fred called when he saw ray in the kitchen preparing something. “I thought of preparing a sumptuous meal for Cassy, you and my self “ ray said turning off the cooker “Oh, it's like you are done “ fred said seeing him turn off the cooker “Yes “ray said removing the apron he was putting on. “You will make a good husband “fred said “So what did you prepare “he asked walking towards Raymond. “Chicken broth and rice “Raymond replied putting some into a bowl. “The simmered vegetables and chicken will help replenish her body “ray said handing a small bag containing the bowl to fred . “Thank you bro “Fred said walking out “Cassy’s luggage did you….. “Fred was about asking when ray said “ yes I kept it in Cassy’s room the police saw it in mr Jerry’s car “ “And who is mr jerry “ Fred asked “That man that got arrested with your uncle “ray replied “Oh, so his name is Jerry “ Fred murmured loud enough for ray to hear “Yes .though he is known by his nickname terminator “ ray chip in “Raymond you are the best I love you “ Fred said before walking out . “I love you “ray repeated “I haven’t heard that sentence for a very lonnnnng time “ he murmured walking to the sink to do the dishes. Fred walked straight to cassy's ward immediately he got to the hospital . On opening the door he saw Cassy sleeping peacefully.his eyes roam to her chest which was moving . Fred beamed with smile “Her heart is still beating “he said to himself then walked towards her bed . On sitting close to cassy he heard the sweetest voice that he hasn't heard for the past three months “Fred is that you “cassy asked with her eyes closed “Yes......yes it's me “fred replied smiling and crying at the same time . “You are awake cassy “ he said happily “Of course “cassy replied then slowly opened her eyes “Dont cry “cassy said opening her arms wide Fred quickly hugged her “I missed you “he murmured into her ear “Stop you are hurting my ear “ cassy said giggling as fred close contact with her ear made her uneasy “Sorry am so....sorry “fred stuttered pulling away from the embrace “Let me inform the doctor that you are awake “fred said about standing up “He is aware “ cassy said pulling him back to the bed . “He is? “ fred asked “Yes”Casey nodded “And he didn't bother calling me “fred asked “I told him not to “cassy replied “Why”fred asked “Well he told me you just left to shower and have your meal and I knew you will come running back if he informs you”cassy replied pouting her lips “Have you been crying “she suddenly asked “Not really Why did you ask”fred inquired “I was dreaming and in that dream I was sleeping and you kept crying and saying a lot of things So i tried waking up to console you but I couldn't “cassy explained. “Am sorry “fred said looking away as the events since the day he saw cassy pass out In that uncompleted building flood into his memory. “And when I wake up I refused to open my eyes as I wanted you to be the first person to see “cassy said “You did that” fred asked facing her “Yes “she nodded “Are you crying again “she asked “Am sorry but I can't help it “fred said as more tears run down his cheek “ “Come here “cassy said stretching forth her hands. Fred did as she said . “You've been crying for the past three months “ cassy complained wiping his eyes with her palm “You are aware that you've been lying here for the past three months “fred asked . “Of course not .the doctor was the one that told me everything “ cassy replied pouting her lips “You look so cute “fred complimented “Go tell the doctor that I need to brush and take a shower “Cassy said giving fred a light push on the back . “I will be right back “ Fred said standing to his feet . “Fred”Cassy called “Yes “ Fred answered “Do you know you are bad “she asked “Did I do something bad “ Fred asked “Of course you did “ Cassy replied “What did I do “Fred asked holding his chest and looking sad “I can feel my stinking breath yet you didn’t tell me” she said then closed her eyes in embarrassment. Expecting to hear Fred apologize but she didn’t then she felt a mouth pressed against hers followed by “ that’s because I understand “ Cassy opened her eyes in shock. Fred ran out leaving the bewildered Cassy “This guy is definitely crazy “ she murmured hitting her forehead .
