Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep

Ah! It hurts! Someone please stop that annoying alarm! It really hurts. My head.

"Astrea!" A voice said so urgently.

"Yes." I mumbled clutching my head and trying to open my eyes. They feel so heavy and difficult to open especially with my headache. I opened my eyes with heavy effort only to close it again because of the heavy light. It felt as if someone focused a torch light straight at my eyes. I blinked and slowly opened my eyes adjusting to the light.

"Can you hear me? Are you alright?" Gouenji appeared before me, his ever stoic face showing worry. What made him lose his seriousness? The last it happened was when I humiliated myself mistaking birth control means as chocolate. But he laughed last time but this time he is worried. I wonder what happened. Is his family business in trouble?

"Yeah, I am fine. What happened to make you worry?"

"You happened." He said glaring at me his poker face returning. I should have taken a photo of his worrying face too. I am afraid I couldn't see it again. It's not that I want to see him worry but it is very rare to see some kind of expression on his face. I wonder if he is a robot sometimes. That explains his expressionless face and his inhuman abilities and talents. That and him being an alien. Either one of them could be true or else how could there exist such a perfect human being.

"Ouch!" There was sudden pain in my head and I tried to move my other hand which actually doubled my pain. My left hand hurts too.

"What hurts?"

"My head and my hand." I moaned in pain.

"The doctor's on his way. He is coming soon."

"Doctor?" I questioned confused and soon enough a person in white coat appeared. I then looked around to find I was in an entirely white room with several machines, I mean those heart beat measuring machines and such. In short I am in a hospital on a hospital bed. Not a normal hospital bed but looks like a private hospital room. Will you think it is weird if I say if this hospital room is kind of good?

                                                              //Hospital Room//

"What happened?" I asked confused. "Why am I in a hospital?"

"You don't remember? You were in an accident Miss.Faith."

I then remembered what happened. All the scenes flashed into my mind.

"Ah Yes! I remember now. How is the other guy?"

"Other guy?" Doctor asked. "You were the only one who had an accident."

"So I assume he is safe."

"Yes, he is." Gouenji answered his anger dangerously glowing with fury. "How can you be so careless? We were all so worried about you? How can you act so reckless?" He yelled at me in fury.

I gulped. "Umm I am sorry." I apologized sheepishly. "I didn't act reckless as a matter of fact."

"Then what do you think you did?"

"If I didn't push him away he would have got involved in a serious incident. Besides I am fine. Wait, am I alright doctor?

"Ah yes!" He said flipping the book at the foot of my bed. "You are fine. No fatal injuries. The bike hit your left hand directly so it has a compound fracture. It needs a month to be healed. After that you fell on the road hitting your head so you had a mild concussion and was unconscious for a day. Some minor scratches here and there. Other than that you are fine."

"Unconscious for a day?"

"Yes." Gouenji glared. I smiled at him sheepishly.

"My head hurts a little. Is that fine?" I asked the doctor.

"Yes, it happens. I will give you some painkillers and you will be fine with that."

"I want you to run complete tests on her. I don't want to find out later that there was some problem with her that you were unable to find. If that happens I promise that your hospital would be no more." He said coldly making even me shiver at his threat. After that I was taken to do so many tests. I think my entire body was scanned more than ten times and they did a whole lot of tests and scannings. My blood was taken for testing too. I bet they are reading my body inside out. By the end of the tests I was so tired that I slept.

This time I woke up there was no headache but my hand still hurts a little.

"Destiny!" This time it was my mom Hannah who yelled crying. Oh god! Here comes the drama, I thought dryly.

"Before you start, I am fine mom. Just a mild concussion and a fracture. I am perfectly fine."

"What do you mean by that? It could have been very dangerous. You hurt your head. Brain injuries are so complicated and can be fatal." She said crying some more. "We need to run all kinds of tests on you. We shouldn't miss any injury. If it happens even to be minor one it might grow to be a major one, so we need to do tests from head to toe."

Wow! My mom and Gouenji are in perfect sync. "No mom! That was already done. Gouenji had the same idea and made the doctor do the same test twice in order to not miss any small thing. I can't handle any more tests." I said groaning.

"Yes."My father David intervened. "I personally checked all the results too. Nothing's wrong with her. You might get a few headaches from time to time but that will be fine with some aspirin. If it persists you have to tell me immediately." He said full on doctor mode.

"Yes dad." Now my father would grill me for details of my health every night. Such a pain! "Which hospital are we in? It looks so expensive and by the amount of tests done I am afraid the bill will be too much."

"You need not worry. That is covered." A voice said from the back which is none other than Gouenji's.

"What do you mean?" I asked. I don't think this much can be covered even with health insurance.

"Don't tell me that you are paying. I can't have you do that."

"I am not. Daniel, the guy you saved was paying the entire expense making sure you got the best. He wouldn't allow me to pay and I thought that is the least he could do. He said it helps him feel a little less guilty so I let him do that."

"Daniel is rich right?"

"Yes, both his parents are top actors and models." He said curtly.

"This expense would be nothing for them?"

"Yes, negligible."

"Then I guess I can let him."

"And I registered you for road safety classes. After you are fine to go you have to attend them every Sunday for an hour."

"You're not serious right?" I asked looking at him with a little awkward smile.

"Damn serious." He said making me gape at him. Does he think I am kid who doesn't know traffic rules?

"Come on! I know all the safety rules. I had to do that to save a life, we escaped the truck but some other bike came suddenly. That wasn't my mistake. I am very careful and I know all the road safety rules."

"No excuses allowed. You are attending them. I am coming with you to make sure you attend each and every one of them. You forgot the safety rules and you are going to relearn them."

"Come on! Please!" I whined.

He can't seriously bully me in front of my very own parents. I looked at my mom for help and he was smiling lovingly at both of us. Why is she smiling when her daughter is getting bullied? Oh no! Don't tell me she joined G's team. While my father upholds his no dating till 30 rule my mom always tried to set up on dates. She tried all her friend's sons who turned nothing less than idiots or good friends with girl friends whom I am not in touch. It would be so troublesome if she tries her matchmaking skills. She is the worst believe me. I will be so embarrassed. Please mom! Anything but that! I already have enough on my tail. Please don't join them.

"Oh my! You care about my daughter very much." My mom gushed. I am doomed. What happened to the tears that flowed? Now I can practically see the pink aura coming from her. Good thing my parents stay in Boston and we, I mean Gouenji is in New York. If in the same place, oh no! I can't even imagine. That's a horrible mess. "You are such a gentle man!" Mom! You don't have any other word to praise the person who is bullying your daughter as something else other than 'gentleman' when there is nothing gentle in the way he treats your daughter.

"Destiny!" Another sobbing voice yelled and in came running G flomping on my fractured arm making me yelp in pain. She is one of a kind. Crying for an injured patient and making the patient cry, not by being moved to tears at the love being showed but by falling on the injury, increasing the pain and making them cry. I have such great people around me!

I tried consoling her with my uninjured hand awkwardly trying subtly at the same time to remove her head from my injured hand. She's too heavy for my liking. Kidou appeared behind her and lifted her from my fractured hand making me sigh in relief. I smiled at him in thank you and he smiled back understanding my situation.

"Do you know how much we were worried when we knew you were in an accident?" She said sobbing into Kidou's arms.

"I am sorry! I am alright now."

Robert appeared behind with a flower bouquet and a smile. He placed it on my bed side where there's also a black rose bouquet which I didn't notice till now. That is from Gouenji. I wonder when he got it here.

"Where's Aram?" I asked curious. He was there beside me till I lost my consciousness.

"In hospital."

"What? What happened to him?" I asked very much worried about him. Was he involved in another accident after I fainted? Is it the season of accidents?

"Don't worry! He's fine. He fainted from the shock of seeing so much blood and had to be admitted. His parents were making fuss and not allowing him to be discharged. He said he will escape without them seeing and visit you soon." Robert said chuckling.

"I hope he's fine." He didn't hit his head or something when he fainted right? Or else what makes him stay in hospital for more than a day?

"Worry about your health first. You are the one who had an accident, not him." Kidou said chiding me gently.

They all settled around me and my hospital room became cheerful with people and their noise. My parents got along with them since they already knew them from my grandpa's funeral. My mom got extra close with Gouenji making it difficult for me to relax or remove my eyes from her. Unfortunately I am far away from them and couldn't hear what they were talking. I hope she is not making things any worse. Even my father had a small talk with him making me highly suspicious of what is going on over there.

"We will go and bring you guys something." My mom said getting up with my father.

"I will make something very healthy and nutritious for you." She said smiling at me. I really hate her nutritious cooking. My mom, wife of a surgeon, feels as if she knows more than dad and tries to cook things for me which helps me in growth and have every kind of nutrition. I don't know about the nutrition part but they sure do taste yucky.

"I don't think they allow outside food in hospitals." I said trying to deter her from cooking.

"I can have a word with the doctor. We will make sure everything is good for you. A doctor will be in touch with you to let you know if you shouldn't use something or tell you if you add something it will be good for her. Our cook will help you too." Gouenji said fully supporting my mom.

"I can't trouble you that much." My mom said.

"Yes mom. We can't let them do anymore." I said hoping she would listen to me at least once.

"Don't worry Hannah. Why would it be trouble for us? Nothing can be more important than her health now." Gouenji replied.

"It's alright auntie. We think of her as one of us. She is like family to us. It will trouble if you don't accept our help. You don't have relatives here in New York right? Think of us family auntie." G said pleading. Are they planning my demise together?

"Okay then. I will be leaving. You are all very sweet children." My mom said very happily. After she left I glared at all of them.

"Are you planning to kill me?"

"What? We didn't do anything."

"I will die eating her food. Her nutritious food will be so yucky." I whined.

They all laughed. For a minute I forgot what I was arguing about. Seeing them all before me and laughing, I felt at peace and was very happy.

"It's good to see you all smiling. I thought I wouldn't have a chance to see you all again." I told them smiling.

They all looked at me silently their expressing sadness in them. Oops! Looks like I spoiled the mood!

"Did you really think that I would let you leave. You can't leave me till you complete the three months of being my slave." Gouenji said sternly and I smiled at him shaking my head no.
