AVERY POV
the rain is still pouring heavily as if it really hit the situation and my feelings right now.
"I have to go to her because she needs me and I can't forgive myself if something happens to her"
My husband said.
"What about me? I need you too" I said while sobbing. I couldn't stand it, I tried to wipe my tears.
"But she needs me more" It still hurts to hear from him that he favors his girlbestfriend more than me, his wife.
"I am your wife, but why do I have to beg just for you to give me your attention? I cried even more because of the words I said.
Yes, I am the wife, but why do I seem to be the one who begs for his attention and love? Is it because I'm just a wife on paper? I have no rights? but I'm still his wife.
"Enough with all this drama, stop crying I have nothing to do with you because after this we're done" He said leaving me crying all night.
After what happened that night i got up and my eyes are swollen from crying nonstop, when I looked at the clock it was already noon, I found an envelope on my side table, I opened it and saw a divorce paper
This is what I'm afraid of, he's tired of me. Maybe, just maybe I need this too, I need to breathe, I'm too exhausted from him, I need to learn how to love my self again.
I went down to the living room and saw my husband and I'm still holding the divorce paper. I placed it in front of the table where he was.
"What is this for?" I asked.
"For you to signed it" He said blankly.
"Give me a good reason to sign it" I said to him holding my tears.
"Because I'm sick of you, I'm sick of all this drama and I don't love you" He said like he doesn't really care what I feel.
I couldn't hold my tears back. "One last question"
"What?" My husband.
"Even once did you love me?" I asked hoping he would say yes even now, because in the past I know he loved me too because I could feel it. even though I'm only his wife on paper, I know he loved me too, even for a short time.
"No, I never loved you" I felt like I was stabbed by a thousand daggers because of the words he uttered.
"Even once?" I asked pleadingly.
"No, not even once" he said as if he was already irritated.
"Ok" I said as if I accepted it. I couldn't stop my sobs, my tears kept flowing while signing the divorce paper "I hope you're happy, you are free now" I said between my sobs. Again, I'm crying again because of this man. What did I do tow deserve this? I don't deserve this.
"Yeah" He said before leaving with a divorce paper I signed, and here I am again crying.
I have so many questions in my mind. We were happy before this happened. I'm a nurse but it's for me to cure my self, my heartaches.
I pack my things before leaving the house I used to live on. After that I booked a flight, I'm leaving to start a new life, a new life without him. I promise to my self that I will not cry again. I will cure my self and I will love my self even more.
AVERY POV
While I was in the emergency room treating one of the patients here, someone suddenly called me "Nurse Ace, Dra. Veronica called you and told you to go to her office." said one of the nurses here at the hospital.
I turned to her "Alright Sandy, I'll just finish what I'm doing" I said then I continued to treat the patient. The patient's condition was not that bad so I finished it easily. I entrusted the patient to another nurse and I went to the office of Dra. Veronica.
"Dra. Veronica" I called her while knocking, then I opened the door. he looked at me as if she was telling me to sit down. I sat in front of her, waiting for what she would say to me.
I sigh "**Why did you call me Dr. Veronica?"
"Hey**, stop being too formal infront of me it's like we're not friends" she said pouting. I just rolled my eyes at her then laughed.
"Why? It's not even break time, and then you suddenly called me other people might think that you have a favoritism" I said teasingly.
"Who cares?" she rolled her eyes then laugh. We're really indeed bestfriends haha.
By the way, I'm Avery Celeste some people call me Ace as my nickname, I graduated as a nurse, I took BS Nursing because it is my passion to cure other people. I graduated four years ago so I'm on my own now. I supported my parent needs although they don't really need that because they are rich, I just want to share with them the money I earned because of my hard work.
And she is Veronica Lee she graduated as a Doctor, we were friends since first year highschool. She's a cheerful person, she's nice to be with and she's not plastic, she is so true, when she has a problem with someone, Veronica says it right away. and we both have a secret.
I like her brother Saimon Lee, but her brother didn't know it, and I don't even know if he knows me. I like his personality and I think he's cute hehe. I just saw him when I visit Veronica in there house.
"Hey" Veronica shouted at me.
"What?!" I asked shouting while frowning, because she suddenly yelled at me right in the ear. My ear hurts.
"You're daydreaming again, I called you many times but you're just smiling like a crazy woman hahaha" she said laughing.
"What the hell is that?, say what you have to say before I go back to the emergency room" I said looking at my watch.
"This hospital was chosen for an important program so I will need a representative, and I chose you as a representative and of course I am with you, so are you agree?" she said very long, hoping that I would agree.
"Of course, I'm in" I said smiling to her. "Thank you bestie" Veronica said genuinely.
"Can I go back to the emergency room now Dra. Veronica? teasing her.
"Yes, you may go back Nurse Ace" she said seriously, haha.
I got up from sitting and said goodbye to her. When I came out, I met a man with a familiar face. I just nodded. I passed to him and I look at his back then he also look back. I gasps, that's why it's familiar it was Saimon Lee. Then he continue to walk going to Veronica's office. I stared at his back, blushing.
Suddenly my heart start to beat faster.
AVERY POV
I can't believe I just saw him here at the hospital Saimon Lee OMGOSH. I guess he's visiting his sister, but why so sudden? He is a busy person like us.
My heart is still beating fast, maybe because I haven't seen him for a long time.
I went back to my work and continued what I was doing. It's tiring but I'm happy when I can treat the patient, I feel at ease when I know to myself that I can help them.
Few moments later...
"It's been a very tiring day" I said to my self. I took my phone out of my pocket after that I checked my schedule next week, oh I have a Saturday off along with my bestfriend Veronica, at least I have a break. What if I invite Veronica to go to the party at my cousin birthday?
My cousin Jade is one of my closest relative, so she invited me to her party at this coming Saturday. I messaged my cousin Jade that I will come over to her party and I said I'm bringing a friend along with me. She said she's ok with that because the more the merrier.
I was on my way to Veronica's office when I met her brother Saimon again, I smile at him then he smiled back then he just continued to walk. I can't believe he smiled back at me, my heart start to beat faster again, I'm overwhelmed. I know I'm overreacting but I have a crush on him since my first visit to Veronicas house that was a five years ago and I can't get over my crush on him.
I used to have a many suitor but my eyes were all over to him, so I rejected every suitor that I have. since then I haven't had a suitor maybe they thought I just wanted to be alone in on my own or let's just say they might think that I don't need a man in my life. But it's ok, maybe they're right that I don't need a man in my life, because I didn't have the courage to introduce myself and be honest about my feelings to Saimon. So yeah, maybe they were right I don't need a man.
I continue to walk toward to Veronica's Office. I knocked before entering the door I opened. "Hey" I called.
"What brought you here Ace?" she asked seriously.
I sigh "What happened to you, why do you seem irritated?" I asked worriedly.
"My brother came here just to annoy me" she said irritated. "What did he done to you or said to you?" I wonder what Saimon said to Veronica, she look really upset.
"He wants me to go to a another blind date, even though I don't really want to" she's really annoyed haha.
"Hahahah" I laugh
"Hey, stop laughing" but I continue haha "Rude" she whispered as if I didn't hear her.
"Ok I'll stop" I said while suppressing my laughter. "Just ditch you're blind date and come with me at my cousins party this coming Saturday" her face suddenly lit up.
"Ok, I will come with you" she quickly agreed
"**Nice, I will send you the address"
"Ok, nice**" she was in a good mood now, maybe also because we haven't been able to party for a long time since we got busy with our work.
"So I go ahead, I need to go home now so that I can rest, this day is tiring" I said "Ok take care, drive carefully" she carefully instructed me.
"Ok Dra. Veronica I will be careful" I smile at her before leaving.
This day is so tiring like I said, but treating/curing other people feels good and relieved.
It was also felt good because I saw someone I wanted to see, Saimon Lee.
