The Days Without You
The day I left her.
The day I left her was the day when my grandma in the states died.
I didn't had any chance to say goodbye to Lia, my girlfriend.
So, I just messaged her about everything and asked her to contact me often.
Steve
I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye to you! but I didn't had the chance ...
Lia
Steve, The most important thing now is "How are you?" are you fine? are you doing good? It's already past 10am, did you eat your breakfast?
I was holding back my tears the whole time, but when I saw that message of hers, I started to cry in the car.
Lia
I know it's hard to digest the fact that your grandma died, but remember everyone in this world leave one day and you have to accept that.
Lia
Remember all the memories of her with you and send her off with all the memories.
Lia
I know you would cry a lot, but dummy don't cry too much and loose your breath.
Lia
Call me anytime you are free!
Lia
Hey!! Steve?? are you here?? why aren't you messaging?
Steve
Nothing, I just got a call from my dad.
Steve
I will take care of myself and you take care of yourself!
Steve
Talk to your classmates and befriend them, don't be lonely!
Lia
Yeah! don't be worried about me!
Steve
I will be busy so I will message you when I'm free but you have to message me often! you get me??
Lia
Now bye! the class is gonna start soon!
That was the last time I chatted with her.
I tried contacting her, but I couldn't.
I just thought she was busy with her works, so I left for 2 days.
But on the third day I got a weird message from the class group.
And it went like, "Lia is in serious condition in the hospital and tomorrow we will be praying for her recovery".
When I saw that message, I got confused and called my friend but he didn't pick up.
I had no choice but to call Lia's parents.
The phone rang twice and her father took the call.
Steve
Hello? Uncle? what happened to Lia??
Lia's dad
Lia? she is in coma.
Steve
What??? what happened????
Lia's dad
They said, she jumped from the terrace of the school.. but I know my Lia is strong and she will never do that!
15% of chance.
I couldn't believe what I heard and what I saw, so I flew back to my home.
I rushed to the hospital where they said Lia is admitted.
I stepped inside the hospital wishing this was all lie.
I went to the reception center and tried Asking about Lia's room number.
Steve
Hel.lo.. is there a high school student named Lia who got admitted here?
The nurse
Lia? That heavily injured patient?
Steve
I ... I don't know! Can you take me to her?
Steve
**Heavily injured? Just how much she got injured? Please don't be like that Lia! I beg you!**
I followed the nurse's steps and she suddenly stopped and looked at me.
The nurse
Hey! are you crying?
Steve
Yeah? can you just hurry up and show me the way?
The nurse
Are you her boyfriend?
The nurse
Oh, that's why you are crying.. you know what? the students who visited her yesterday... they didn't even feel sad.
When I heard that, I couldn't stop crying.. does Lia deserve this? can't they even be little sympathetic towards her?
The nurse
Here, this is the ward.
The nurse
Yeah? she is in coma and I'm sure she won't wake up because there never been a case like that.
The nurse
I will leave now.
The nurse smiled bitterly at me.
I opened the door and slowly went near her.
When I went close, I knew it's my girl Lia.
I fell down the ground and looked at her from below.
She had injuries all over the body.
Steve
What happened to you Lia? why did this happen to you?
Steve
It's my fault leaving you alone! it's my fault!
I shouted very loud that the nurse came back and took me away from the room.
The nurse
Hey! you should not shout in an hospital!
The nurse
I know it's being hard for you, but you shouldn't shout like this! There are other patients too.
Steve
I don't know what to do except crying now ...
The nurse
Would you like to know what happened to her?
Steve
Yeah, I'm not strong but still I want to know..
The nurse
This girl jumped from the 4th floor of the school and she got heavily injured on her legs and hands because she tried leaning towards it but due to the force she couldn't and she got her arms and limbs broken ...
Steve
But what about her head? if it's not injured! then she wouldn't have been in coma!
The nurse
Yeah, she only got a slight wound in her head but she still fell into the coma due to the trauma.
The nurse
Yeah.. so, there is 15% of chance for her to wake up but we didn't reveal it to anyone but you ..
Steve
There is 15% of chance? really??
I don't know, that made me really happy.
when we were both talking, suddenly a strong alarming sound came from Lia's room.
she will wake up.
The nurse informed the doctor with her small device that there is an emergency here.
The nurse
You stay here! I will go check what happened to her!
The nurse rushed in the room and was doing something, I don't know what she is doing but the condition seemed worse.
After 2 minutes, the doctor came hurriedly with his team and went inside with lot of equipments.
While I was waiting outside, I got cold sweats.
Steve
Lia, please don't die!
After an hour, everyone came out and the doctor went to Lia's father.
Lia's father came as soon he knew about Lia's condition, because I asked him to go rest when I came to visit Lia.
I was trying to talk to the doctor about Lia's condition, but the doctor left after talking to Lia's father.
The nurse who talked with me earlier called me.
Steve
Hello! can you tell what happened to Lia??
The nurse
It's just a rare condition, she has an alergy to anesthesia, so she is been sleeping the whole time and due to the alergy her respiratory system was blocked supply, so it took us time to change the fluids to steroids and give her antibiotics.
Steve
So, you are saying Lia isn't in coma???
My face got light up as if I won something.
The nurse
Yeah, she will wake up soon.
The nurse
And the doctor asked me to bring you with me.
The nurse
Yeah, come with me.
I walked behind her and my mood became so light after hearing what the nurse said about Lia.
The nurse
Hey! can You hear me??
The nurse
This is the doctor's cabin, go in now.
I opened the door and went in and there I saw the doctor sitting in his chair with another female doctor aside him.
I went in and greeted them both.
DOCTOR X
Are you Lia's boyfriend?
I walked towards the chair and sat in it.
DOCTOR Y
So, when did you both had sex last time?
Steve
Huh? why are you asking that doctor?
Steve
It's about 2 months ago?
DOCTOR Y
Okay ... you didn't do it recently?
Steve
Nope? why are you asking these questions???
DOCTOR Y
We noticed so many nail prints in her body, it looked like someone tortured her using their nails.
Steve
Are you telling the truth?
DOCTOR Y
Yes, and that's why I informed the police to look into this case more seriously.
DOCTOR X
She also seem to have trauma, it all connects to the only answer, that's bullying.
DOCTOR X
Yeah some might have bullied her.
DOCTOR Y
So she might have decided to suicide, or someone would have pushed her?
After talking with those doctors, I knew something had happened in the school when I was absent.
I decided to go to the school, but I was called for the investigation.
