Meanwhile,
Outside the hospital room, Evie was standing with her hands crossed on her chest in front of, Joseph as she questioned him.
" Are you really sure you said nothing offensive to Mira before heading out the other day? "
Joseph sighed deeply... He honestly couldn't count how many times, Evie had asked this question.
Like seriously!
She just kept asking as if her entire life depended on it.
" I didn't... Pleasantries were the only thing that was exchanged. "
" Well... I believe you. " She said after a moment.
For some reasons, hearing her words, I almost exclaimed the word, " Finally! "
Like it's really crazy!
As I was honestly tired of giving a reply to the same question over and over again! Like it's seriously very tiring!
" I apologise for my blunt questions. "
To say I was surprised by her words would be an understatement as I was just too surprised!
Though not full of pride and arrogance... Evie wasn't the type of person to always apologise.
But anyways,
People do change... Hahaha.
[ A/N : Indeed... Hehehe. ]
" It's alright. I could understand your worries. "
" Hm... " She took a seat on the chair in the reception before speaking up again.
" You know, Mira despite looking so up strong has a very soft heart... Her heart is so fragile that even the thinnest things can make her hurt. "
" Hm... " I nodded.
" She also over thinks everything and is also super emotional! "
" Yeah... "
" Sometimes... I wonder what really goes on in that little brain of hers as she overanalyzes everything! Even before planning! Like seriously! Who does that? "
I couldn't help but let out a chuckle hearing that.
Indeed... She was right, Mira thinks a whole lot.
" But I won't blame her though... Losing one's parents at a young age is one of the most disastrous things that can happen to a person. "
" Yeah... "
" The pain literally shuts down a person's heart and makes them draw back to their own shell as they begin to think no one cares about them as every other person is out to get them. "
" Hm... "
" I read a case study of a girl whose parents deserted her. Despite being a young fifteen year old... She began thinking and acting like an adult. "
" Katrina is what she's called by those who knows her well. She literally had no friend as she believed everyone is out to get her... And even when she finally got herself a best friend... It didn't help much... Must I say, it only worsened the situation. "
" Really? "
" Yeah... I came across one of her diaries and perhaps it's because the words were so blunt and the feelings were so well felt and expressed... I still remember it all... Not leaving a single detail. "
" Oh... "
* Kathy *
The world is getting a little blurry...
Must I say, it's getting blurrier by the day.
There's almost no reason to smile and laugh.
Or perhaps laughing and smiling is only privileged to some particular people and not to others?
Perhaps... Yes.
Why does it feel like everyone's out to get me?
Why does it really feel like no matter how much I try... I'll never be good enough?
Why do I feel like a burden? Like a total burden?
It sucks, really it does!
I just wish there's a way out of this!
But is there really a way out?
My Best friend seems to really care about me.
But do she really care? Or is she just pretending to like the others?
Though... I can say that I can feel her care and love most times...
But why does it feel so surreal?
Like too good to be true?
Why does it feel like I am being a total burden to her?
Why?
Why do I feel she deserves better? Better than what's she getting?
Perhaps she needs a more stable Bestie who will match up with her and not an overly emotional one like I am.
It sucks... Really it does.
I wish there's a way out?
I have got almost nothing to my name...
Yet it feels like life isn't satisfied with leaving me with that much.
And it honestly feels like I am falling from the frying pan to the fire on a daily basis.
Why does it have to be so hard?
They say life is a bed of roses.
Really?
Why do I actually feel like it's actually a bed of thorns?
Everyday of my life I keep fighting battles!
Battles upon battles! It's like they never end and just keep coming at me!
I know this is inevitable.
But I am too young to be facing the cruelty of life already!.
At least I should be allowed to grow... Even if it's a little before I start confronting them!
But no!
I am burdened by baggages which are almost impossible for me carry all alone.
I really wish there's someone to share the burdens with.
I wish my best friend understands me more and shows much care.
But well... As always.
Everyone's busy with their life while I am just here... Wasting away my life!
It sucks!
I don't really expect much from others... But from my Bestie I expect more than enough!
But well... Perhaps I meant to be alone after all.
Maybe... I am only meant to be the people's problem solver...
Perhaps... I am meant to be so strong that I won't need anyone else.
Yet... It sucks... Really it sucks!
I desperately crave a shoulder to cry on... A comforting embrace.
But well... If wishes were horses then I won't be in this situation actually.
Would I?
No right?
It really sucks!
Evie felt very emotional just recalling the words in the girl's diary...
Though she couldn't relate with her as her situation was clearly different from hers...
But the words were just too raw...
And the emotions? She could almost feel it deep in her bones.
She could only imagine how it feels to be so young and alone!
Like seriously!
" So what if, this girl's emotions could be similar to Mira's? Wouldn't that be purely tragic? "
" It'd be. " Joseph replied with paused lips.
" Mira deserves all the care and love she could get... Only then will all her doubts be cleared. "
" Yeah... "
" We also need to figure out what her own side of the story is. "
" You right. "
" Joseph... " She stared straight at me. " Since you claim to love and care so much about her then you have to show her through your words and actions just how much you really do. "
" Hm... " I nodded.
" And... You also have to assure her that you won't leave her and will always be there with her and for her... Holding her hands till the end of time. "
" Alright... I'll try. "
" You better do! " She replied sternly.
" I will... Thanks for your words. "
" I didn't do it for you... I only did it for my best friend! " she retorted.
" Well... Okay. " Joseph couldn't help but smile to himself seeing how possessive the latter had become.
He couldn't help but wonder how it would have been if, Evie was indeed... Mira's biological sister...
Oh no...
For some reason... He dreaded just thinking about it.

A/N : Hehehehe.... What do you think, guys?
