Cap 7
White ceiling, white walls, smell a.... hospital? ah... something must have happened to end up here.
-Oh, my baby!
That voice... my mom... and the other one... my dad. What should I answer if they ask me something? I'm so stupid
A doctor comes in and asks the typical questions of How are you feeling? And among others ....
-Briddy, your father and I already know everything that happened. Alex told us, and it's a good thing he did. My child, why didn't you tell us? We would have helped you from the beginning.
- What did Alex tell you? - I don't know what happened yesterday, but I have a bad feeling about all this.
-He told us that this boy Elios was obsessed with you. -Is that true, Briddy?
-Yes, Mom.
-Oh, my little girl...
I see... so Alex told them the whole truth.
-Briddy, if you want, don't go to school for a while. But in case you were worried, that Elios guy won't bother you anymore.
- What do you mean, Dad?
-We took care of that boy. From now on, I'm sure he'll be in the correctional facility and get psychiatric treatment. So you don't have to feel scared.
- What?! The correctional facility?!
-It's for his sake and yours. Now we have to go. Rest, my princess.
-Y-yes, I love you.
Shit, I don't remember what happened last night and I find out that Elios is in a correctional facility... this is not good, but...
No... my parents are right, if I think about it clearly, Elios needs help, and who better than a professional doctor. Still... it breaks my heart.
In my confused thoughts it took me a while to hear the door opening... Another visitor?
-Briddy, your parents told me you were awake.
It was Alex...
-Yes... Alex, why did you tell them?
-I told you before, I wasn't going to tell them anything unless I had to. And .... that kid crossed the line.
-*Sigh* Anyway, now because of me, Elios is in that horrible place.
-No, Briddy. That boy, he's sick, you understand? E-N-F-F-E-R-M-O.
- What the hell happened last night?
-It was chaos... -Happily some people were still sane, but... if I hadn't shown up at that time, I don't know what would have happened to you.
- W-what do you mean?
-You see... Everyone was dancing as normal as can be, even me. I felt like going to the bathroom together and so did Luke. We were in the most normal way and we saw you... I beat the crap out of that bastard, Luke called an ambulance and I also called your parents, mine and Luke's parents. Now I regret not having made that psycho suffer more.
-Y... Where is Luke?
-At your house, don't forget to thank him. He helped me get you to the ambulance.
-Yeah... -I know. Fortunately the drug Elios gave me isn't serious, so I think I can go now, right?
-I think so... I'll ask your parents, they should know.
-I'll wait for you... Ah... Alex, thank you so much. You're always there for me.
-You owe me one, sis.
-Jeje

- Oh, ma petite Briddy, comment vas-tu ? * Oh, my little Briddy, how are you ? *
My French aunt... she's very worried. All because of me...
-Aunt... -I'm fine, don't worry.
-My baby, are you hungry? -Shall I fix you something? Or do you want to rest? Your parents aren't here, but they asked me to take care of you... I know what happened, my little one... Are you really all right, Briddy?
-Yes, Auntie... I'm fine, I feel fine, there's nothing to worry about. And .... would like to rest.
-Of course... later I'll make you something to eat, it's a typical French thing. Or you could eat your favorite French desserts.
-Thank you, Aunt.
My aunt is very good to me... everyone is very good to me... I feel so bad for putting them through all this. All I want to do is lie on my bed and not know anything else.
I went upstairs, opened the door to my room, walked in and threw myself on my bed.
Letting tears fall from my eyes, no doubt emotionally, I was a wreck.
Elios... Why did you do that? I had forgiven you, but you ruined it.
You're paying for your mistake, but still..... Why am I the one who feels so guilty?
Right... I forgot to thank Luke... I'll thank him later.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Briddy... Do you... love me?
-Of course, if I didn't, I'd love you anyway.
- What do you like about me?
-You are... a very nice person, at first you were very different, but... I see that I was able to get into a part of your heart. That part is very nice. And I never want to leave it.
-Yes... neither do I. The fact of losing you... makes me very sad. That's why I'm going to make sure you're mine. You know why?
- Huh? Why?
-Because I'm already yours, it would be unfair if only I'm yours, but you're not only mine.
- Pfff, you're very funny, Elios.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-*Sigh* Yes... I'm an idiot.
I hear the sound of my door lock opening and....
-Ah... sorry, I thought you were asleep.
-Frances... I was just coming to thank you.
-Pff... Thank me? For what?
-Alex told me you helped with the party mess. Thank you very much and I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
-Eh... it's something anyone would have done. -Yeah...
-Still...
-Stop it, what happened is not your fault. I don't know what happened between you and that boy, but... whatever it is that happened. It's not your fault.
-Yes... -Yes...
-By the way... dinner is ready, that's why I came.
-Luke... Alex didn't tell you about Elios?
-Em... actually yes... but you don't have to talk about something that you don't like.
-Well... then. -What's for dinner?
-It's a surprise, Brown.
- Come on, let's go!
- Celui qui arrive en dernier, achète 3 pizzas familiales. * Whoever arrives last, buys 3 family pizzas *
- In your dreams, you idiot!
