"beep! beep! beep! "

I woked up because of the sound of the machine. The smell of antiseptic is too strong that without opening my eyes I know that I'm in a hospital. When I opened my eyes I saw a woman sleeping while she is sitting beside my bed. I look up to the ceiling and as the light coming from the florescent lamp struck my eyes I closed them again. I tried to remember what happened to me and why did I wake up in the hospital. My toughts were disturb when somebody talked.

"Youre awake." with a soft and sleepy tone on her voice.

She is robbing her right hand on one of her eyes when I opened my eyes. Before I could speak she stand up quickly.

"I will call the nurse to check you" as she ran out the door.

A few moment just after she went out another girl with thick glasses came, she is wearing a white uniform that nurses use and shes holding a paper and a pen with her. When she approach me she asked questions regarding my health and as I answered her questions she checking the paper she holds when she came. After she finished asking the questions.

" I will come back again later to check you"

I nodded as the response and she turned around and leaved the room.

I closed my eyes again and once more tried to remember what happened to me. The only thing that I remember is that I'm on the way back home and I can't remember after that.

I opened my eyes when I heard the door opened, as the girl awhile ago came back holding a bucket of fruits. I was mesmerized when I clearly saw her face. She is like an angel with a fair skin ,blonde curly hair and she is wearing a light blue dress.

"Is there a dirt on my face? " that question brought me back to my senses.

" Uhmm, Ahhh" the only response I can make as I lowered my head with embarrassment.

"Don't be shy" as she chuckled.

"Want some apple? "

I nod as a response and she smiled. She took two apples and wash it in the sink. I watch her every move silently as she sit beside the table and started peeling the apple.

" Here eat some. " as she hand the sliced apples to me. I took one slice and take a bite.

"Can I ask you something" I said in a low voice.

"Go on" she uttered and smiled.

"Wha.... " just as I began to ask her a nurse came.

"Excuse me sir. I will have to check you again" as she approach.

"I will just buy some water" the woman said as she left the room again.

The nurse ask the same question and write on the paper that she is holding as I answer her questions. After awhile she finished all what she have to do and left the room.

Cayden a 22 years old college student in a public university. His height is average and he have quite muscular body because of doing hard labor. He came from a poor family that is why he need to work and earn a living to continue his studies.

A quarter of hour have passed before the woman came back and I am standing near the window watching the clouds pass by.

"Hey why so serious what are you thinking?" she asked as she sat on the chair beside the bed and handed a bottle of water. I took it and put it on the side of the window.

"Who are you and why am I in a hospital? " I asked.

" I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself when you woke up" she said.

" I'm Kiarra. Kiarra Porter"

"But seriously you don't know why you're in the hospital? " a trace of astonishment can be seen on her face.

" I really can't remember" I replied seriously as I turned my head to look at her.

" Tha-thank you" she said in a quite low but sincere voice.

" Whay are you thanking me? " I asked with full of confusion.

" So you really can't remember." she said.

"You saved me from the three kidnappers." she continued.

"You are so amazing because you knock them out despite their advantage in number and using a weapon . "

" After you have beaten them you're about to leave but you suddenly collapsed so I rushed towards you and check if you are stabbed, luckily there is no wounds"

"I called 911 for help and we brought you to the nearest hospital. Since then you've been sleeping for three days now. "

"What three days? " I surprisingly exclaimed

"Really its three days? " I asked again to make sure that I heard her clearly.

"Yes" she said with a puzzled look on her face.

After her response I felt so weak that I nearly falldown if I did not hold on the windows handle.

How high are my bills for staying that long? "Did they fired me in the eatery because I am absent for too long? Without a job how can I pay the bills? this are some of the many things running in mind at the moment. I was disturbed from my thoughts when I heard her speak.

" Whats your name by the way" she asked while smiling but that smile did not last long.

"What's wrong why do you look so worried is there something bothering you?" she asked again.

"No. Its nothing" I replied.

" If you are worried about the hospital bills, its already been paid" she said.

How did she know what I'm thinking is it obviously written on my face.

"Are you the one who settled it? " I asked.

"Yes" she said as she handed a peeled orange to me. I took the half of it and gave the other back to her.

" Eat some too." I said.

"Thank you" she response and took the other half.

" I'll return the money to you in the future" I said and as I put a piece of orange in my mouth.

"That's not necessary." she said as she do the same.

" But I don't want being in debt to other people" I replied.

She smiled bitterly for a moment before answering. " You can think that it's the payment for saving my life."

"If you put it that way then we're even. " I said as I smiled to her.

She smiled back. " The doctor said awhile ago that you can be discharged tomorrow if you want. "

" Thats good to hear, I don't want to make the bills higher anyway. " I said.

" It's getting late, I need to get back home and change." she said.

"Okay, thank you for taking care of me this days." I replied.

"Then I'll get going. " she said as she stand up. I just nod my head and smiled as a reponse and watch her walk to the door when she suddenly turned around.

"I nearly forgot you didn't answer my question awhile ago. " she said

"What question?" I asked.

"You did not yet tell me your name." she said while pouting a little.

I chuckled then smiled" I am Cayden."

"Okay, I'll fetch you tomorrow Mr. Cayden. Bye." she said as she waved her hand and left the room.

"Bye, Miss Kiarra." I replied and raised my hand.

After she left I went back to the bed and l lie down. I have a hard time falling asleep. When I woke up its already past eight in the morning, I went to the comfort room and wash my face. Few minutes later Kiarra and a doctor came in. The doctor re-examined me and after that he removed the injected dextrose in my left hand. After the doctor left we are left in the room.

"Here I brought you new clothes." Kiarra said handing a paper bag.

"Thanks Ms. Porter " as I take the bag and went back to the comfort room and change my clothing. When went back to the room she is beside the window watching the sky. She turned around when she notice that I'm finished.

"Thank God that it fitted and you look good." she said when she looked at me.

I'm wearing a white V-cut t-shirt paired with a black jeans.

"Thank you." I replied.

" Let's go I'll drive you home. " she said.

So we walk out of the hospital and went to the parking lot. She press the key that she took from her pocket and one of the cars head lights blink. As we get nearer my jaw dropped when I saw that the car she have is a grey BMW.

It's beautiful, can I ever drive a car like this in my life?

"Cayden. "

"Hey, Cayden." my thought was disturbed when I heard someone is calling me.

"Ye-yes" I answred.

"Don't just stand there get in. " I didn't even noticed that she is already in the car. I opened the door at the back but she stopped me.

"No, come here in front." she said.

I followes what she said as I muttered.

"O-okay."

As she start the engine I fastened my seatbelt.

"Where do you live Cayden?" she asked.

" I live xxx street.?" I replied as I turned my head towards the window, because I noticed that she is looking at me.

" I know that place." she said.

It on took us a few minutes from the hospital to my place.

My heart nearly pop out. She drives too fast.

"You're sweating all over. Are you okay? " she asked.

"No, I think I'm gonna puke. Thanks for taking me home. " I answered as I get off the car.

She giggles then smiled.

"You're welcome." she answered and start the cars engine.

The car that has been following us since we left the hospital, parked on the other side of the road, should I tell her about it.

"Ms. Porter." as I knock on the window to get her attention.

"Just call me by my name. " she replied.

"Uhmm o-okay Kiarra." I hesitantly answered.

"You have something to say? " she asked with both of her eyebrows rising.

"Did you notice that black car on the other side of the road? " I asked.

"Yes, why? " she replied.

"They have been following us since we leave the the hospital. " I said with a worried look in my face.

"Let's call the police. " I added and took my phone in my pocket.
