Ep-12
"I was used to suffering. I hate you not for hurting me, but for making me addicted to the sweetness of love"
Continuation of Flashback
Wrex
*brings out Emris to the shore*
Wrex
(Shit! I should've seen him before. I knew the situation was serious but I didn't know it was THIS serious!)
Wrex
(I need to keep calm first in these situations, can't let all these years of medical school go to waste)
Wrex
*continues CPR* I don't even know where I threw my phone! The rain is making everything so uncomfortable too
Wrex
Please, please, please just start breathing already
Wrex
(Maybe I should carry him to a drier place first)
Wrex
*his throat dries up as his motion becomes more mechanic and redundant*
Wrex
I did it....I saved him....*hides his eyes in his palm*
Wrex
Can you hear me? Have you regained your consciousness?
Wrex
(Oh right, we both have been soaking in rain and the river water since an hour now. But I can't leave without my phone)
Wrex
*places him on a nearby bench near the shade of a tree*
Wrex
You aren't asking who I am but why I am doing this?
Emris
*still half unconscious* Why....be....so cruel to me?
Wrex
*searches for his phone*
Wrex
(I left the phone during the call....as expected it's cracked beyond use)
Emris
*holds his shirt* Don't leave me hanging..... there's no use.... I don't want to be here
Wrex
You are speaking more sentences now, are you finally regaining consciousness?
Emris
Please stop.....put me out of this....
Wrex
This what? Misery? You think your life's that miserable?
Wrex
I haven't had a good night's sleep since the day you left your girlfriend. Her friend has been working day and night just to locate you and ascertain your safety
Wrex
Just now I had to risk my life to save you from drowning. I ran away from home and am studying on scholarship at medical school, do you know how hefty the fees are?
Wrex
On top of that my only phone is shattered and I have no idea if Arin's out there somewhere searching for me!
Wrex
Do you think you are the only one having a shitty day? I had to go through all of this for a stranger!
Emris
*whimpers* I am sorry....
Emris
I don't know....what else to do
Emris
All my life....I have only burdened other people.... please, just let me end it all
Wrex
*grabs him by the collar* You know what? I don't think you're a coward
Wrex
I believe it must have taken a lot of courage to come to this situation. But believe me, I have been there before
Emris
What do you want....me to do? I have nothing to live for.....*sobs* I really....*sobs* can't go on any longer
Wrex
Believe me, this is just a temporary problem! You don't have to take a permanent solution for it
Wrex
It won't solve anything! It would just pass on the burden to your loved ones
Emris
But I am tired....I don't want to wake up tomorrow
Emris
I am tired of it all! I finally ended it....so why....what gives you the right to stop me?!
Emris
I don't even know yo-
Wrex
There are people who love you!! You have to keep on living for them
Wrex
(I want Arin here, how did she even deal with me?)
Emris
I don't have any! There is absolutely no one left for me to love or receive love from......
Emris
*suddenly springs up* Huh?!
Emris
What do you mean?! *stands up*
Wrex
I.....have been noticing you since a long time....and don't you find it suspicious how I knew where you were when you never told anyone? 😅
Emris
.....you just told me your friend put you up to this
Wrex
(Shit! I am too dumb for my own survival)
Emris
*chuckles* was that your best attempt at stopping me from dying?
Wrex
(It seems like what worked on me works on him too)
Wrex
No...! I really love you, you know?!
Emris
*swings his arm* Come'on! You don't need to keep up the act anymore
Wrex
(Is it ok to let go now?)
Wrex
You're right, I don't love you. In fact, I hate you for ruining my day, my phone and possibly the whole month since I will never recover from this financially
Emris
I will try my best to repay you, just give me ti-
Wrex
My phone's really costly though, you think you can?
Emris
*hesitates* How can I repay you then?! I swear I will try my best to!
Emris
You're still on the whole "you love me" thing?
Wrex
That's not what I meant!
Wrex
I just mean, live your life
Wrex
Don't die. Not now, not in the future ever
Wrex
That's the only thing I want from you
Wrex
Remember, you have to repay my phone's debt. Don't think of dying before that
Emris
*smiles* Thank you for putting me in debt
