this is a short update, although i don't know if i'll still have readers and my old readers are nowhere to be found. im sorry for the looooong hiatus (or hibernation perhaps) i just want to finish this story [hr] [b]Chapter 28[/b] Will made the necessary arrangements so that Drei would be able to spend his recovery at their hospital. Even though Drei didn’t initially like the idea of leaving the camp and staying at the hospital, he doesn’t have much choice. *** “Sam, we’ve been here for three days and you still seemed depressed.” Franz said one sunny afternoon to Sam. “I’m sorry to have your vacation ruined because of me. I’m trying to be happy with you.” Sam said to Franz, trying to be sweet. “Please, don’t force yourself.” “But…but I want to…I want to try it, if it’ll work out with us.” “I hate to say this Sam…but it’s not the same as before. I am happy about what you have said, that you want to give it a try. But, I can’t stand seeing you hurt. You can’t pretend that you’re happy like what you are trying to do in front of your brother. I know you too well Sam.” “I’m sorry. I was wrong. I’ve realized that I became so selfish. That it seemed like I’m just using you. I feel so bad right now.” And tears started falling from Sam’s eyes. “I stepped back long ago. I know you just wanted someone to be with you through your hardships. It was so hard to refuse the moment you asked, you were so depressed then and the least thing you need is rejection. But I tell you Sam, we don’t have to have that kind of relationship. Again, do not force yourself, I am here to help you even as a friend, or even as your bestfriend.” “I don’t know what to say Franz but, you’re such a nice guy. It was just that I loved him more, and I’m sorry for causing all of you these.” “No biggie.” Franz hugged Sam, “whatever happens, I’ll always be here. I’ve known from the start that it’ll be Will. I am weak, and I can’t ever fight for you. I was just thankful that I have met you.” Franz had a call from home that Sam’s brother is at the hospital. They hurriedly went back home since Sam is worried. *** “Kuyaaaaaa!!” Sam hurriedly went beside Drei upon arriving at the hospital.”How are you? What happened? I was so worried!” “Calm down. It wasn’t like that. I’m doing good. You look so tired!” “I’m fine kuya, I’m really really fine!” “Sam, looks like Drei is fine, why don’t we have lunch first. I don’t want you starving yourself.” Franz said to Sam. “You haven’t eaten lunch yet and it’s 3PM? Please Franz, go and have lunch.” Sam didn’t really wanted to go but she’s afraid that her kuya might get mad, and hey, she’s hungry already. They had their lunch outside of the hospital, and since Franz had some errands to do back home, he dropped Sam by the hospital and told her he’ll be coming by at night. On her way up to the suite of Drei, he noticed that the door wasn’t completely shut, and noticed that her kuya is talking to someone. “Thank you for everything. I am sorry. I’m sorry for not trusting you, for believing that you just wanted my sister just because of the captainship. It’s sad to think that I have to experience this before realizing everything.” “You don’t really have to apologize. I know I’ve been wrong too. It’s just that I am not just meant for her, she chose Franz over me. Even though how much it hurts, I have to accept it.” “I have nothing against Franz, he loves my sister too. But, I know I’ve done things that made you two apart. I didn’t know that you were sincerely kind. I don’t know how to repay you.” “This is nothing actually. As your junior it is expected of me to take care of my superior.” “Tell me one thing Will, and I need you to say the truth…” “What is it?” “Do you still love my sister?” “Excuse me miss,” a nurse approached Sam even before he hears what Will is going to say. They both entered the suite, with Sam not knowing the answer.
