Chapter 3

Alex's POV

An hour after the conversation with doctor Lee and all the formalities, I was informed that I can take Regan home but I must bring him back when I come for work, so basically he must be around me, since I am in charge.

I was informed that I must meet Regan and convince him to come with me too, I love the way this hospital think about patient's wills. So here I was making my way to Regan's room. I reached the room and told the guard that I am going to talk with him.

I went in and saw him sitting on his bed looking out of the window that was a few metre away from his bed, the room was dimly lit and the setting sun didn't help either. I can literally sense the sadness in the room.

" Mr. Novels " I called for him and he turned his head slightly but not enough for me to see his face.

I started walking, went past him reaching the window and looking out.

" It is said that one must not keep pictures of a setting sun you know why?" I turned around to him smiling slightly at the sight of his face midly visible because of the sun. I don't know why but I feel like he doesn't belong here, he is beautiful by Gods grace but life has been cruel to him, and I don't know why but I feel like helping him.

" Because the setting sun denotes the darkness that is approaching and it fills you with sadness and bad luck" I said to him while making my way to him.

" Hi, my name is Alex Mathews." I said putting my hand forward for a handshake but he didn't took it and started looking the other way.

I sighed and said, " not good at cooperation now, are we?" I said and he looked at me. I waited for him to say something but he didn't speak instead just kept staring at my face. ' is he really not gonna speak? ' I thought to myself.

" Well I am here to tell you that I will be taking care of you from now on, so let's be friends okay?" I said again smiling, as a therapist I must wait patiently till he is ready to open. " I love being friends with people, to hear them and help them as well, so why don't you tell me how are you feeling right now, " he stayed silent, " hmm, I know how about I tell you about myself!" I said showing my excitement.

" I live not very far from here, I have a beautiful and cozy house and have many pets, I just live with them and believe me they make my day I love staying with them," now he was looking at me, " but Azusa eh,... ah my cat" I said dramatically, " he is soooo lazy, he doesn't move at all, sometimes I just feel like why is he like that but then again he is different and makes me happy in his own way " he was listening attentively and I kept talking about my pets how Boom understands me, how Windy is so energetic and how I call my goldfishes number 1, 2 and so on.

" So what do you think, would you like to come to my house?" I said looking at him, I could tell that he was surprised but kept it behind that expressionless face, his eyes showed excitement at first but then it faded he didn't say anything but I can tell he has decided negatively. I mentally sighed and stood up from his bed, " you don't have to answer me right away think about it and tell me" I said smiling to him but he just layed on the bed and covered himself with the duvet, probably ignoring me.

I made my way to the door and turned around before leaving, " I will see you tomorrow Regan, have a good night" I said and left him alone.

I reached back to my room and packed my things before leaving, I didn't realize I was this late, apparently I spent 2 hours just ranting about myself in front of Regan, I won't be surprised if he thought that I am mentally sick.

Still I wonder what is he feeling

His eyes first showed happiness as if he just wished to leave this place but then they dulled and he just refused to look at me.

' What happened to you Regan Novels? '
