Chapter-1 Painful Memories

"Sandra please get down there." her friend was so worried about her that she would cry because she was committing suicide at sea.

'Sandra was committing suicide beacause she has a lot of problems and she can no longer handle it.'

'She was mad, scared, angry, and had so many problems and a question came up to her mind.'

'What should I do? How can all this erased from my mind?' I feel so lonely, I feel sad, I feel.... depressed. Then a tear flow from her eyes.'

'I want to get rid of all the pain and bitterness I went through in my life. The pain, responsibility, and not having what I truly want.'

'I want to erase it all from my mind.'

"Sandra please don't scare me. If there's any problem tell me, I will listen because I'm your friend." Zarmaine said while crying because she was so worried about her bestfriend and she was sincere in what she said.

"I told you not to call me Sandra because that is not my name!" sandra said while crying, looking weak, and hopeless.

"Then, what do you want me to call you? Just promise me you will come down there huh? Please..." that is what Zarmaine said when she had hope that Sandra might come down to the sea which caused tears to fall from her eyes.

'I'm really sorry Zarmaine. You also feel the pain I feel. I'm sorry I shouted at you.'

"Zarmaine, when I die be happy huh? Don't cry and you won't have a friend who only brings you pain and a selfish friend like me." she said while smiling hard and in pain. "I hope you are happy in your life and you will not be like me. Can you promise me that as your friend?"

'From high school until we graduate, she was sincere and I knew she was real to me.'

'But every time I get hurt, she always gets into trouble and owe her a lot.'

'Every time I get sick, I go home with a wound, or something goes wrong, she is always there for me.' She sustains me and helps me in times of troubles and distress. I really owe her a lot.'

'I also consider you as my own family as sister who is always there for me.'

'But I did nothing but torment you as I did and bring you down.'

'I'm really sorry Zarmaine.'

"Sandra, what sre you saying? I'm afraid what might happen to you. Please don't do this. We are friends you can tell me." zarmaine said with a sincere tone.

'Yes. I'm always making you worry about me and you are always worried about me. I want you not to worry about me and do not suffer because of me. I hope you are happy in your life and forget about me.'

'Forget me being your friend.'

"Yeah." I smirked. " I always make you worry about me and from now on you will not have to worry about me anymore and you will not have any trouble because of me."

"What do you mean Sandra?" zarmaine with a scared tone.

"Because from now on I will be lost in this world and you will never see me again." I smiled bitterly.

'Yeah. This should be what I'm doing now and it will be good for me and for everyone. Because when I'm gone, I will not be hurt and no one else will be hurt because of me again.'

Tears welled up in Sandra's eyes and she jumped into the sea.

"Sandra....!!!" zarmaine cried and cried. "No... What am I going to do now?

"What am I going to do? Who should I call?

She picked up her phone and called a man.

"Hello?" she says.

"What is that Ma'am?"

"Please come here at the Mantell Sea my friend jumped into the sea."

"Okay Ma'am. We are coming."

"Please lord, don't let anything bad happen to my bestfriend."

The rescuers arrived and began searching.

'One of the rescuers approached Zarmaine and said " Ma'am we can't find your friend, she might have been swept away in a distant place and the waves in the water were so strong that it was impossible for us to find her."

"No... You need to find her..." she said while trembling.

"We can't really find her Ma'am. The waves are really strong here in Mantell Sea and it is already night so it is impossible for us to really find her but we will try tomorrow."

Another rescuer approached.

"Ma'am we have found your friend." the rescuer said.

"Really?" zarmaine said and there was a trace of hope and joy on her face.

"Yes Ma'am." the rescuers said.

"Where is she?" I need to see her now." Zarmaine said.

"You will not see her now Ma'am because she was taken to the Monte Laville Hospitals." the rescuer said.

"How far is that hospital? Is she alive? I'am going to her now."

"You can't Ma'am because it's far away and it's already night. It will be better for you to go home first and rest because you look tired and you may get sick."

"Okay thanks for the concern. Is she okay? I asked.

"Right now Ma'am we heard from the hospital that she is alive and that's all because she still doesn't wake up."

"Is it like that? Then just let me know tomorrow when she is okay."

"Yes Ma'am. You can rest assured."

"I'm leaving. Thank you."

I went home to the apartment where Sandra and I live.

"What should I do? Should I tell her parents about what happend to her?"

Zarmaine's Memory

"If something bad happens to me don't tell my parents." sandra said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because they don't care about me. They did nothing but control me over things I wanted to do but could not do." she said bitterly and painfully.

"What if the situation is too serious?" I asked worriedly.

"Just don't tell them because they won't care and they won't come." she said coldly.

"What if one day I tell them that you were hurt and I do not keep my promise will you be angry with me?" I asked curiously.

"Of course yes because you did not keep your promise."

End of Zarmaine's Memory

"Will you be really angry with me when I tell your parents that you jumped into the sea and lost consciousness?"

'Sandra has been cold before since I met her in high school. She has been cold to me but she is colder to those who bully her.'

'He ignores the bully but when they are being too much or hurting her, she embarrasses them.'

'I think Sandra is the coolest person I have ever seen.'

'I really idolize her.'

"I think I need to tell her parents about what happend to her even though she will get mad at me and she is angry with her parents."

Monte Laville Hospitals

I arrived at the Monte Laville Hospitals and this hospital looks really nice and this hospital looks wealthy.

I remember last night I called Sandra's parents and said she had committed suicide. But, I did not expect them to worry because they did not treat her like their family.

Now I will visit Sandra in the hospital and I will see if she is okay and I will wait for her parents in the hospital because they said they would come.

"Nurse, what is Alexandra Elizabeth Manderville's room number?" I asked the nurse at the station.

"She was in the first room Ma'am." the nurse said and smiled.

"Okay. Thank you." then I smiled back.

When I approached Sandra's room, I immediately saw that she was unconscious so I approached and stood beside her and cried because I still could not believe she did that to herself.

"Sandra, why did you do that to youself? Do you know how worried I am? Next time don't do that to yourself again." I said while crying.

I wiped the tears from my eyes as Sandra's parents entered the room with their guards.

"Good Morning Mr. Manderville and Mrs. Manderville." I said while bowing.

"What happened to Alexandra?" Mr. Manderville asked me with authority.

"She.... ugh! should I say it? what If Sandra gets mad at me. If I do not tell the truth her parents will also know because I am sure they already investigated us about what happened to her. "Umm... S-She committed suicide."

"What?" Mrs. Manderville said. "Why would she do that?"

"I-I don't know her reasons." I lied. I can't tell them the truth. This is all I can say.

The Doctor Entered Sandra's Room.

"How is she?" Mr. Manderville asked.

"Ms. Manderville is feeling well." the doctor smiled. "But I think she was depressed so she was able to commit suicide so that was not okay for her. You should take care of her and she should not be stressed. But she still hasn't woken up since yesterday. She has a coma and we can't see any other pain in her because he still doesn't wake up. We will know that when she wakes up.

Sandra's parents' faces were replaced with sadness and shock.

"When will she wake up Doc?" Mrs. Manderville asked the doctor with a worried face.

"So far we do not know what time or when she will wake up. Let's wait first and I'll tell you right away when she's okay. the doctor said.

"Okay." that's what Mrs. Manderville said with a sad tone and worried face.

In Sandra's Mind While in Coma

'Why? Why would he do that? He invited me to the Crossman Park but, Why did I see that? He told me that I was the only one he love and he would never fool me but why is that?'

'When I met them inside the park, I immediately saw how he kissed the woman and I was surprised because I did not think that he would do that to me.'

'When I saw them, my tears seemed to be dripping from my eyes but I held back as much as I could. I feel cheated, made a fool of myself, obeyed, and he made me like a toy or a hobby.'

'When they saw me, they were surprised but also immediately changed the look of their face as sarcastic and smirked. And said...'

"Yes, I don't love you anymore. She is the one I love now not you." *he said with a cold tone.

'Yes, I don't love you anymore. She is the one I love now not you."

'Yes, I don't love you anymore. She is the one I love now not you."

'Yes, I don't love you anymore. She is the one I love now not you*."

The words he uttered seemed to repeat over and over again my hearing. Tears seemed to be dripping from my eyes so I could do nothing but run away from them and never see them again.

I went to the Mantell Sea and climbed the Sea block and said....

"I don't want to live anymore." I said while crying and feeling hopeless. "**What did I do wrong to replace me with others and hurt me?"

"I took care of you, I did everything you wanted, I did not cheat on you, and most of all you promised to Marry Me**." I said while crying and looking weak.

"But what happened today? Who cheated? Who did not keep the promise? Who is acting like he doesn't have any relationship with me? Isn't that you? You who promised me that I am the only person you love, I am the only person you will take care of until old age, and I am the only person you will marry. Thats... what you PROMISED."

You are the first man I loved and I did not expect you to be the first to cheat on me and hurt me because... You promised me that you will never hurt me and you will never leave me....

Zarmaine came to the Mantell Sea when she found out that Sandra climbed into the sea.

"Sandra please get down there." her friend was so worried about her that she would cry because she was commtting suicide at sea.

"Sandra please don't scare me. If there's any problem tell me, I will listen because I'm your friend." Zarmaine said while crying because she was so worried about her bestfriend and she was sincere in what she said.

"I told you not to call me Sandra because that is bot my name!" sandra said while crying, looking weak, and hopeless.

"Then, what do you want me to call you? Just promise me you will come down there huh? Please..." that is what Zarmaine said when she had hope that Sandra might come down to the sea which caused tears to fall from her eyes.

"Zarmaine, when I die be happy huh? Don't cry and you won't have a friend who only brings you pain and a selfish friend like me." said while smiling hard and in pain. "I hope you are happy in your life and you will not be like me. Can you promise me that as your friend?",

"Yeah." I smirked. " I always make you worry about me and from now on you will not have to worry about me anymore and you will not have any trouble because of me."

"What do you mean Sandra?" zarmaine woth a scared tone.

"Because from now on I will be lost in this world and you will never see me again." I smiled bitterly.

'Yeah. This should be what I'm doing now and it will be good for me and for everyone. Because when I'm gone, I will not be hurt and no one else will be hurt because of me again.'

Tears welled up in Sandra's eyes and she jumped into the sea.

"Sandra....!!!" zarmaine cried and cried. "No... What am I going to do now?

'I'm really sorry Zarmaine. But this is what I want. I want to forget all the pain I went through so maybe it will be better for me, to just..... Die.'

'Die?' sandra woke up at what she was thinking from coma.

"Sandra? Are you awake?" Mr and Mrs. Manderville and Zarmaine said with a shocked and happy tone.

"Hmm...??"

"Sandra, you are awake..!!" that's what Mrs. Manderville said with her daughter and the smile on her face when her daughter woke up.
