Chapter 7 : Found

CHAPTER 7: Found

My breathing suddenly went heavy, every breath takes a lot of strength. I just found my self staring deeply in his eyes like I'm under some witch's spell.

His perfect ocean blue eyes makes me feel like I'm drowning in his own sea. There's something about it that makes me stay there, on the bottom and I wouldn't even care to rise up for some air.

With one blink of my eyes, I noticed our position. The tip of our noses touched in a very gentle way.

I kept staring at his eyes and let myself go deeper in his sea. He slowly tried to reach out for my face but I quickly moved back and held my head tight.

It's back.

Please, not now. I almost shouted in pain when I felt the excruciating pain brought by my headaches. Every wave of it makes it harder for me to reach for air.

"Klaire!" I heard Joshua shouted. I did not even cared about the fact that he's kneeling down in front of me to try and take a better look on where I am hurting.

Another wave of strong headaches made me shut my eyes and wince in pain. It feels like there are hundreds of small daggers piercing into my head and every stab, it gets deeper.

"Aaaaaahh!" I could not contain it anymore and let my scream go. I felt the small daggers slowly but surely going down my back and crawls up and down my spine! I felt Joshua's sudden movements.

He stood up while I was still on the ground, crying while I prayed for the pain to stop. I was about to open my eyes and look at him but I was attacked by more daggers on my back.

"Aaah! Haah.. Hah.." I tried to grasp for air but it seems like they were running away from me.

I can't even begin to explain how this kind of pain can be felt. I had one hand on my chest- holding it tight like it was the only way to stop the pain from breathing while my head is still pounding, and another one tightly grasping the ground so that I keep my balance.

I can't see anything, everything was a blur but I kept opening my eyes in thoughts that my vision would be any clearer.

"Kein! Kein, it's Klaire!" He shouted.

My only support wobbled, making me fall onto the ground while still trying to bare the pain.

I didn't even freak out when a part of me noticed that Joshua's hands crawled on my body before he hurriedly carried me.

My nails dug onto his shirt deeply when I felt another wave of daggers hitting different parts of my body.

My body froze for a quick second before I felt like I was being executed, high volts of electricity pinching my every nerve.

"Aaaah!"

"Stretcher! Nurse, stretcher!" He shouted again. My body didn't even relaxed when I was put down on a soft stretcher. I heard everybody shouting to anyone in the hall to move, just so I can be brought in the emergency room.

"Klaire! Klaire, what happened?!" Carlo's voice echoed in my ears. Again I took all the force I can get just to slightly open my eyes to look at the worried face of my brother.

He held my hand and everytime I would feel in pain I would squeeze it, I was worried I'd hurt him.

"Aaaaahh!"

My screams filled the empty room, anyone who would hear it would be in horror.

The doctors hurriedly injected sedatives in my body to calm me down. I can still feel the shock. But the medicine quickly kicked in so I was basically numb.

I am so tired. It still takes me a lot of effort to breathe but I couldn't focus on anything anymore, I just looked up the ceiling and stared at the lights and closed my eyes- not minding the echoing voices around me.

Slowly, the place became pitch dark.

As I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful scenery in front of me. Even if it was night time, the moon was enough to give light for me to see the calm sea.

Suddenly, a warm hand gently touched and held mine. I looked at him only to see that his face was blurry.

He looked at me fondly before he looked away and smiled. He gestured his hand that was still holding mine towarss the shore, where we sat and both stared at the huge moon.

"Klaire. Baby, I have a request." He said softly. His voice cracked a bit when he called my name but he still managed to complete his sentence.

I looked at him only to see a tear went rolling down his cheeks.

"Can you do it for me?" he said slowly, making sure he delivers the sentence without his voice breaking up.

I quickly got up and turned away from him. I walked bare foot on the sand fast while my eyes were starting to water.

I turned to face him when he held my arm.

"No! I will not take it Zy!" I screamed at him. "I will not take the drug!" I repeatedly hit his chest with my hands, and he let me do just that. I eventually got tired until I stopped. I cried on his chest.

I cried so hard that I had to push my face onto his body just so that he can't hear my sobs, if that was even possible.

"Baby, you have to take it. I can't risk losing you." He said. " I can handle the pain of seeing you in other man's arms but not inside a coffin."

He held my chin in that way we can see each other.

"You have to take the drug, Klaire. You have to forget me." I wanted to say no but it didn't even come up as a whisper so I just ended up mouthing it.

Please. I don't want to do this.

"Please, Klaire."He pleaded.

He pulled himself closer to me until he reached out for a soft kiss.

"Take the drug for me."

The scene immediately changed, not even letting me process what just happened.

I just saw myself looking at a young man on a swing and a cute little girl running towards him.

When she reached him, she sat on the swing next to him and handed him something that was inside a plastic bag.

"Zy-zy, ice cream." She bubbly said.

The guy looked at him before he smiled a bit and shook his head.

Instead of retrieving the ice cream, the little girl moved his hand closer so that the ice cream would be closer to the guy.

She smiled sweetly before saying, "You know what? I heard some folks saying that ice cream magically lifts up someone's mood. So you better eat it!"

The guy stared at her for quite a while before smiling and reaching out on the ice cream from the girl's hands.

The place slowly faded until it was replaced again. The same kids were now laying down on the grass under a big tree. The girl was sitting down with his back leaning on the tree while the boy had his head on his thighs while he sleeps.

The girl lovingly looked at the boy while he gently caressed his hair. She bent down a bit before she softly sang in his ears.

"I found the love for me.

Darling, just dive right in.

Follow my lead.

I found a boy

beautiful and sweet

I never knew you were the someone waiting for me."

I turned my head to look behind me when I heard a girl scream. She was crying so loud while screaming because of pain while the boy hurriedly ran towards his car while carrying her in his arms.

"Zy, it hurts! It hurts so bad, Zy!" She repeatedly screamed before he out her inside his car and drove fast.

The place changed, and now I'm inside a hospital room.

The guy earlier was now nowhere to be found. A few more moments and a man just her age walked into the room and walked towards her.

He sat down on a chair next to her before he looked down.

I heard his quiet sobs while he tries to wipe his tears.

"Why are you so stubborn? You know too damn well that you're not supposed to play with your feelings like that." He said in between his sobs.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and reached out for his hair.

"Kuya.." she whispered.

The guy heard her very well but didn't bother looking at her. He couldn't bare looking at her sister in such state.

It took him a few seconds before he man up and looked at her before he spoke,

"Until when?" It was a simple question but she couldn't seem to find any words to give him any sort of answer.

"I... I don't think I can handle the pain of seeing you inside a coffin, Klaire. I don't want to lose you. Please, I-I'm begging you. Stop this."

She stared at his brother before she let out a small smile. Her smile didn't even reached her eyes, just showing how sad she was. Slowly, she shook her head, making her brother's tears flow non-stop.

A flow of electricity ran down my cheek that suddenly woke me up. My mind was blank. For the first time, I couldn't remember anything.

Fatigue was the first thing I felt when slowly my senses came back. My cheek slightly felt dry maybe because of my dried tears.

The bright light coming from the ceiling almost blinded me but my vision slowly adjusted to it only to see a pair of blue eyes.

Shock was written all over his face so as everyone else in the room. Everyone looked worried.

I closed my eyes shut as I try to remember what happened which was now successful. Earlier it was like a traffic light was red and stopped my memories from flowing but now it was back to normal.

Then it hit me.

The sea, the moon, the park, the hospital room...

Him.

Zy.

I opened my eyes as I felt it water. I literally did not care when I jumped and wapped my arms around the man I have been looking for all my life.

Tears formed on the corners of my eyes as I recall the very few memories I have seen inside my dream.

"Zy.." I whispered softly.

I felt him froze when he heard his name being called and saw how the hairs from the back of his neck rise up due to goosebumps.

It only took him a moment before he renewed his hold and made it tighter

I cried and I cried while he just held me and comforted me while saying things I didn't knew would sound that good.

"Zy." I said again. Gently, he touched my hair ans kissed my head before whispering,

"I'm here now."

"Please.. Don't leave me again." I cried.

"I won't make the same mistake again."
