"Son?" My dad called me to make sure that i followed him to get inside.

I nodded then followed both of my mom and dad into the room, i wasn't brave enough to look into her eyes. Cause I didn't like to see her crying like that, and in this position I couldn't be the person who comfort her was making me felt worse.

So with a heavy feet i stepped forward without turning my head to look into her marine blue eyes, my mind said that she had replaced me I shouldn't felt so care about her anymore but My heart telling me the other way every time i had her figure in the same space as mine.

We got inside and i saw Gabriel was sitting on the chair next to the hospital bed where Tatjana was laying with her eyes close on the bed. It shocked me to heard that she took the ptsd pills which for a person that had a depression, people around her didn't expect that she has a depression and took those pills to make her stay calm and seemed fine. But i thought my mom knew about the issue, my mom lost her focus on the meeting after she received the news about her close friend.

No longer after that Lana walked into the room with Sarah next to her and Ezra behind them, i felt relieved to know sarah was there to calm her. I knew she really needed a friends to talk to and to comfort her, Diana was supposed to be there cause i knew three of them was like a puzzle. When Lana was sad Sarah was the one who gave her hugs and comfort while Diana couldn't cheer her up with her lame jokes and gave her some hilarious advice which cheer her up and the actual fact that she could do to solve the problem. But at least there was sarah stay next to her, she had to know that there was so many people that care for her.

After a while i excused myself then walked out of the room where i suddenly found Ayden was outside of the room, he was sitting alone in the chair while talking on the phone. I slowly took a seat a couple seat next to him, he ended up the phone call then both of us stayed in a silent.

"You okay man?" I asked him breaking the silent.

"Thanks man I'm okay, I'm just worried about her actually" he said.

"Why?" I asked him.

"She keeps blaming on herself, it isn't her fault at all" he said and it made me stay in a silent.

This guy next to me actually had the same thoughts towards her, i could tell both of us were loving the same girl and we were worried about the same girl. But the difference was he got space in her heart while i wasn't anymore. But our feelings towards her were the same,

"Try to comfort her by listen to her, her heart is so fragile that makes her very sensitive" i said in a calm tone.

"You're Apollo right?" He asked me and i nodded before looking at him.

"Thanks for your suggestions man" he said.

"Your welcome" i said.

"Just take care of her okay, she's sensitive but that's what makes her special" i said to him while getting up from the seat.

"I was too young and dumb for making her leave" i said to him.

"I will i promise" he also got up from his seat.

"Thank you" he said once again.

"No, thank you for making her feel happy
Again." I said.

"Your welcome" he said before i started to make my step away from the empty hall.

I walked away from the hall and decided to go home, i made sure she got supported by her friends and family. Seeing her like that was probably going to be my thoughts for the next few days, i was nothing to her and we had nothing between us but the feeling of worried and care were still inside of my mind. It automatically set every time i heard her name and every time i saw her.

"Who's going to stay here for the night?" Gabriel asked once everyone was gone, it was only him, Ayden and I left.

"You have a pregnant woman and a child to take care of, i'll stay here besides i have nothing to do" i said while still putting my chin on the hospital bed staring at my mom who was still hadn't awake yet.

"Are you sure?" Gabriel asked.

"Yeah" i said.

"I'll stay here with her" Ayden said and i just stay in a silent.

"You sure?" Gabe asked him.

"Of course" he said.

"Thank you, i'll be here tomorrow morning" He said.

"I'll text you about her condition" I mumbled.

Gabriel stepped closer to give mom a quick kiss on the cheek, he also brush my head before walked out of the room.

I couldn't imagine being gabriel, there were so much to handle. His own family and also the company, i felt worried about his health too actually. I hope he was taking a vitamin and eat well, cause if he was sick I was going to stand alone and I didn't think I could do it by myself.

"I'll stay here until your mom is out the hospital" Ayden said.

"Oh god you don't have to" i said finally got my chin up of the hospital bed.

"It's okay" he said walking closer then put his arm around my shoulder.

He gave me a gentle brush on my left shoulder while i leaned my head to his body who was standing next to me.

"She'll be fine" he said.

"Thank you for your support" i said.

"Please don't ever blame yourself" he said and i nodded.

"That's great now go get some rest on the sofa, i'll wake you up if she wakes up" he said.

I looked up and found him looking at me, his tall figure was looking down at me with a tired eyes. He told me to get some rest while he was also tired.

"No I'm a doctor I've been staying up all night for my patients and now I'm going to stay up for my own mom, i'll be fine." I said bringing his arm that rest on my shoulder and hold it on my hands.

"You're the one who should get some rest you're just arrived" i said.

"You sure?" He asked without any complaints.

"Very sure" i smile.

"Thank you so much" i said before bringing his hands closer to my lips then kissed it.

"It's my duty to be right here for you when you need me" He leaned closer with his head only a few inches away from mine.

He puts his hand on my cheek then brushed it slowly with the tip of his thumb, which brought a calm and relaxing feeling. I got up from my seat then put my arm around his neck bringing him closer for a hug while her arms automatically wrapped around my waist. I had to tiptoe to reach his neck since he was super tall. But it seemed like I found it comfortable every time he hugged me like that, it brought joy and love.

I woke up early in the morning hoping mom was awake, but she haven't. I walked into the window to see the situation outside the hospital while Ayden was still asleep on the sofa in the living room. I felt pretty hungry cause I haven't ate anything since last night, but i actually lost my appetite.

I turned around and found mom was blinking her eyes, she looked like she didn't know what happened.

"Mom?" I asked her while walking closer.

She stayed in a silent while blinking on her eyes a few times, she must be feel dizzy and loopy now. But i felt so glad that she was awake, a smile appeared on my face once she looked at me.

"I'm sorry" she said it made me shaking my head while closing my eyes, how could she apologize it wasn't her fault.

"No I'm sorry" i said.

"You should take a rest okay mom, i love you" i said.

"Let me call the doctor okay" i said to her.

I pushed the nurse calls button to call the doctor or a nurse to informed that my mom was awake, so they could taking care of her.

I saw Ayden was getting up from the sofa, his eyes met mine and there was the time where i smile at him. He looked into mom then smiles back at me, his hair looked messy because of sleeping. He got up from the sofa and now he was standing next to me.

"Ayden" My mom said which made me smile.

"Mrs Valerie" he smiled then put his arm around mine while my hands were holding on mom's hand.

The nurse and a doctor walked in with a smile on their faces knowing that my mom was finally awake, i also felt so relieved that god gave me another chance to spend my life with my mom.

"Miss Valerie can we talk for a moment?" The doctor said while smiling, i nodded while following him outside the room. I turned my head and found Ayden was stepping closer while my mom was smiling at him, it made me smile knowing that he was taking a good care of my mom too.

Once we're outside the room the nurse was still inside to check on my mom's condition,

"So miss i heard that you're a doctor right?" He asked me with a smile.

"Yes" i said but I didn't know why i felt ashamed for not taking a good care of her.

"You do know the base to take care of a patient that overdosed right?" He asked me with a smile.

"I guess yeah" i said.

"Just make sure she has a person who's going to be next to her all the time and make sure to control everything she consumed" he said.

"And I suggest to have a psychologist knowing that she consumed that bunch of pills i think she has been consuming it for the past few months maybe?" He asked me which made me stay in a silent.

"I know you must be still in shock, but that's okay that's normal." He said with his hand tapping on my shoulder.

"And doesn't mean you're a doctor you cannot feel like this, it is normal especially the patient is your own mom okay so i need you to stay strong and have your focus on her okay" he smiles.

"Thank you so much doc" i said.

"Your welcome Miss Valerie" he said before walking away leaving me alone.

I walked back into the room and found my mom was talking to Ayden with a smile on her face, it warmth my heart to see her smiling while talking with a person. Ayden was sitting on the chair next to her hospital bed while smiling too, i stayed on the door while smiling looking at this beautiful situation.

She needed someone to stay around her, i knew it must be hard to living life alone without anyone. Especially when she used to be around dad all the time, then Dad and i left her at the same time which mad her feeling alone. Why didn't i think about her?

"Oh lana" mom suddenly called me.

"Yes mom?" I said then walked closer to her.

"I wanna watch Ayden's new movie" She said to me and it made me laugh a little, i looked at him and caught him already looking at me.

"I was only appeared about 10 to 15 minutes" he said and it made me smile.

"Oh that's okay i wanna watch it" My mom said.

"We'll watch it once you're home okay mom" i smile.

I felt so thankful for what happened yesterday that god still giving me a chance.
