Chapter Twenty six: Glimpse of Us.

When I go inside Melissa's room, I saw no one. Absolute silent. I get hella mad and start looking for her around the hospital. I then get so worried that I called Melissa 17 times and still she isn't picking the phone up.

There was no clue of her. Finally at the 18th phone, Melissa pickes up and says, " Why the fuck are you calling so much? Its not like I ran away or something." "Where were you?" I said.

She replies, " I was at the bathroom." I sigh in relief and say, " Do you know how scared I was?" Melissa blankly replies, " Mhm. So are you coming back?" "Yeah," said I. I then cut the call and went back to the room.

After a while when I reached to her room, Melissa gave me a 'really bruh' face. I then give her a questioning look and ask, " Wanna ask something?" "Nothing. You know what, stop taking so much stress. And take a nap here. You look tired and fussy." I nod and was about to go to the sofa but Melissa call out for me.

As soon as I look back, she pats on her thighs and says, " Sleep here." I slightly blush at this sight and say, " But you'll get hurt." "I won't, " said Melissa.

I go towards her lay beside her and hug her tiny waist. Melissa smiles and ruffles my hair. Without even knowing I dose off to sleep.

While dreaming I went further into someone else's dream. And discover about something. Or someone.

I see the sea under the clear blue sky. The weather feels like the sun on a cold winter morning. A women in a strawhat and a thin off-shoulder white dress. Barefooted. her one hand hold a pair of sandels and other busy fiddling with the sand on the shore. writing something.

I go near her and see that she wrote a name, Mary. She then calls out for a name, Melissa. A little kid runs to her and hug her like there was no end. That kid looks like Melissa. Melissa even shown me her childhood pictures.

The women, I assume Mary, asks Melissa if she wanted to go home now. Melissa replied in the negetive that she wants to spend just a little bit more time here. Mary just let her be and suddenly coughs out blood. I was shocked and was about to ask her if she was ok but I guess she can see me. So I look back and was about to go but suddenly Mary calls out, " Hey you, Elise. Am I right?" I then look back and refuse this fact but at the end I had answer her when she say, " Elise I am talking to you. I am Melissa's mother. I am Mary and I am the one who called you in one of Melissa's forgotten memory."

I then say, " What do you want?" She then said, " I just want you to protect Melissa until the end. Will you? If you can, I will get my inner peace." I nod and say, " Melissa is my responsibility. But how can I protect her from them?" " I will be helping you in the time for help, " said Mary.

Mary then lastly says "Its the time for you to leave." I then say, " Melissa still misses you. She loves you." Mary smiles and said, " I know." and made me return to the reality.

I then wake up and see Melissa is also sleeping. Did I just surf through her memory? Without thinking much I secretly made Melissa wear the pendant that I was given. And sit on to the sofa and do my assignments.
