"Harry was such a gentleman," Mom said. I rolled my eyes with disgust being plastered on my face, but my I smiled when she turned head head to me. "So? Where are you guys going for your summer holiday?" She asked.
"I don't know, probably Australia?"
"That's wonderful! I remember when your dad and I-"
"Mom, you told me that story billion times." I cut her off before she keeps rambling. Then there goes the silence. I leaned back t and I'm not sure why, but my head starts to rewind to what happened in Harry's room.
Is not that I miss him? But I'm not sure if I regret it.
"By the way I'm going to the hospital tomorrow, after school." I said and mom nodded her head, As soon as we got home, she went to her room and I went to mine. I sat down on my bed with my legs crossed.
Then, my phone buzzes. It was a text from Harry.
"Looks like our little plan works ;) I have a surprise for you."
Geez, that little plan turns into something unexpected.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when my mom called my name. "Steph? Come here!" I ran through the stairs, since she had called for my times many times.
"What is it mom?"
"The hospital called me. They said, your dad is awake!" She was smiling, her cheeks were flushed, I guess because of her happiness. I stood there, and decided to give her a hug. I was so happy to hear until I cried.
I was definitely relieved, I thought I was going to lose my dad. But thank god the table has turned.
"Should we go and see him?" Brandon asked.
"Yes, let's go," Mom said and took her bag with her. I cannot wait to see him. I want to see his smile again, I want to hear his laugh, I want to hug him tight.
"Hello there, Steven Matthews has been moved to another room. Please follow me." The nurse said and leads us to the room. "Mr. Matthews? You got visitors." She said as she opens the door. As we stepped in, my dad's face sort of light up and then, he smiled.
"Hey dad," I hugged him, he was sitting on the bed with his blanket.
"How are you feeling?" Mom leaned and kisses his cheek.
"I'm great, thank you for coming, " he said.
"What happened dad?" Brandon asked and stood next to me. Dad shakes his head and leans back.
"I have no idea, I can't remember anything.." He said, while rubbing behind his neck.
I didn't blame my dad, I'm pretty sure it hits him really hard since he was in the ICU room for quite awhile.
"Umm.. Mrs. Matthews can we have a minute?" The nurse said, breaking the silence. Mom nodded her head and went to the small kitchen along with the nurse.
"So? How's Delilah Brandon?" He asked, Brandon didn't hesitate to tell him about what happened. Sometimes, I wish I had the nerves that he has.
"We broke up." Brandon said simply and dad lifted his head followed by a small smile.
"Don't worry, it means a lesson for you. People come and go, they are either a blessing, or a lesson." My dad said, I always loved his life lessons, and quotes. They are very meaningful.
"And how about you and Harry?" He asked, I looked at Brandon for a help, but he didn't respond.
"We're.. Perfectly.. Fine, " I smiled I don't want to let him down, Harry and dad were sort of close, and if he knows that I broke up with Harry, he pities me when really, he should be worrying about himself.
A few moments later, my mom came back.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Troy asked and she sniffes.
"Come with me," she said.
"Steph, you stay here with your dad." she added and I nodded my head. They left the room, leaving my dad and I alone.
"I want to meet Harry again Stephanie." He said and I dropped my face. Not knowing what to do.
"Err.. Y-yeah, but he's kinda busy with his projects," I said and he laughed, I raised my brow, why did he laugh?
"You can fool your mom, but you can't fool me, " he said through his laugh.
"W-wha.." He cuts me.
"You are not together with Harry anymore. Am I right?" He asked. I bit my lower lip and nodded. "I'm your father, Stephanie, I know you."
"And you're going to say that he was just another lesson? Just like Delilah?" I asked. I didn't get an answer right away, he pursed his lips before speaking again.
"Well, I think that's for you to decide." He said, and I managed to smile.
"Mom, seriously why should we-" Brandon cut himself as he saw me staring at him.
"We should head back now," Mom said. Brandon and I nodded, after saying good-bye, I nudged Brandon to tell me what's going on.
"What was that all about?" I asked while he drove the car.
"You're too young to know, it's not really important anyway," He said simply I rolled my eyes and started to forget about it.
"You're too young to know" I mimicked the way he talks and he laughed.
"Are you coming back to see dad tomorrow?"
"Yea," I said simply. I almost forgot that I only have about 5 weeks left of school and then I can finally graduate.
"Daydreaming are we? Is it about Harry?" I saw him smirking and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Shut up." I corrected him and went upstairs to my room. It was 11pm. After I changed my clothes into my PJs, I decided to enjoy the moon in the balcony. I Leant forward to the ceramic fence with my hand on my jaw.
Next day,
"And he's got his own reasons why..." I was in English class and it was really boring. And apparently, my teacher also known as Ms. Cinda, who was re-telling a novel that us students won't read or hear. I closed and hid my head behind the thick blue novel, I wasn't the only one. Some students in the class were sleeping.
"Ms. Matthews! Please continue the next line." She said and I groaned. I lifted my head and I had no idea what page we were on, what paragraph, sentence.
"Page 146 paragraph 2." She said and I nodded as well as rolling my eyes.
"He's got everything, steals every girl's heart, a family, big house," I stopped and read the next line,
"He's got that eyes that would shoot you even from kilometers away, he's got that vibe that you couldn't resist."
"Alright, thank you Ms. Matthews. Now everyone, please group up with your prom project partners." She said and sat down on her wheeled chair while Marcel grabbed a chair and sit across me.
"Do y-you want to r-read it f-first?.." He asked and I rolled my eyes.
"Nope. You read it, I would never read this stupid story, " I said while rolling my eyes. He nodded and started to read the next line.
"H-he was a-also-.."
"I'll read it, it'll take the whole class for you to finish it, " I said not even regretting what I just said.
"He's been hiding from everyone, no one knows the real him, no one. Sure, everyone will think that he has everything. But really, he didn't. He just wants to be loved."
Bells rang
"Alright, please continue reading at home" She announced and the whole class didn't answer anything and headed to the cafeteria. I stood up and stuffed my things back to my bag and left the room.
"S-Stephanie!.." Marcel called my name.
"What?"
"N-nothing.." He said and I rolled my eyes. I left him there and went to the cafeteria with April and Tess. "So? How's the dinner?"
"It was fine, actually. Nothing really happened" I said normally, but I think they knew that I lied.
"What?"
"Duh, something must've happened! This is Steph and Harry that we're talking about." April said and sat on the table followed by Tess.
"Did you two have your own little dinner together?!" Tess asked and I almost choked on my water.
"Tesslin Tyler." I said and both of them laughed.
"Anyway, any plans for today?" April asked after she took a bite of her cheesecake.
"I'm going to visit my dad, wanna come along?" I asked.
"I thought we've got a homework?" She said, raising her eyebrow.
"The teacher says, please read it at home. Reading is not a homework" Tess said
After school,
"Mr. Matthews, your daughter is here to see you" The nurse said before exiting the room. I thanked before she got to the room.
"Hey dad" I said and placed down my bag on the sofa.
"Hello there Stephanie" He said and got up by pressing the remote control next to the bed.
"I got fruits for you, " I said and placed down the basket on the table.
"Ah, thank you very much" He said and I smiled.
"Anyway, when will they release you from here?" I asked and sat down on the chair next to the bed.
"As soon as possible" He said simply and I nodded. I looked over to my phone and saw a text from Harry.
"I'll visit your house. Later ;)"
It was from Harry. I don't why, but he's a bit weird and touchy since we broke up. Or maybe this is the real Harry?
"Oh and Steph?" He said.
"Yes?"
"Harry visited me. Yesterday right before you left".
