Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Extra Care

Liam's POV

While Ms. Avery is sleeping Ms. Kelly got out of the room and buy us foods. I don't know what to do so I just sit while staring at Ms. Avery's condition.

Suddenly my phone ringed. "Liam where are you? Are you still in your work?" my mom texted.

"No mom, I'm actually in the hospital. I'm here to take care my boss," I texted back.

"Oh what happened? Is she fine now?" she asked.

"She overdose her self with some pills but don't worry she is fine. We just need to take a look for Ms. Avery since there is no relatives of her that we know," I answered.

"Okay but are you going home?" she asked.

"I'm sorry but I can't I need to be here. She might need my help," I said.

"Okay just take care of yourself," she said.

"Yes mom! By the way greet me to John. I'm sorry if I can't be able to play with him," I said.

"Don't worry he will gonna understand it," she said then I place my phone on my suit again.

"Why don't you just go?" I look who talks and I saw Ms. Avery sitting up so I help her.

"Because I want to take care of you," I said.

"Why though? Are you perhaps my boyfriend?" she asked then chuckle.

"I don't need to be your boyfriend to take care of you," I said then give her water.

"Thanks Mr. Carter," she simply said then drank the water.

"Just Liam," I said while smiling.

She coldly look at me then answered, "If I say Mr. Carter I say Mr. Carter."

"Yes ma'am I apologized," I said then looked down.

After some minutes Ms. Kelly come inside and then we eat.

While eating, "By the way Ms. Avery the doctor said you can be discharged tomorrow since you are already fine now," Ms. Kelly said.

"Why do they need to make it at tomorrow when they can just let me get discharged right now," she annoyingly said.

"It's okay ma'am at least you will be out tomorrow," I said then she stop whining then eat.

After some times Ms. Kelly and ms. Avery are already sleeping while I'm here keeping an eye on them.

I go to near the window and stare at the moon and stars. I got really fascinated that I didn't know that someone is right behind me.

"Why you're still awake Liam?" Ms. Kelly asked.

"Oh Ms. Kelly! I can't sleep and besides I want to take a look to you and Ms. Avery," I said.

"You like watching moon and stars?" she asked while standing beside me.

"Yes Ms. Kelly it becomes my hobby when I was a child," I said not knowing I crack a smile.

"Did you remember something? Why do you suddenly put up that smile? Is it a special someone?" she asked.

"She is my childhood best friend. She's actually the one who loves to always stare at the moon and stars. When we become friends I joined her. It reply calms us as always but suddenly...," I suddenly stop.

"What's wrong Liam is there something happened to her?" Ms. Kelly asked.

"We got separated. She suddenly disappeared without any goodbyes. I just cried that time because suddenly I got left alone. That time there is no person who will always want to hear my stories. That suddenly I'm the only one who will stare at the stars and moon at the exact place and exact time that we always do," I sighed after I finished what I said.

"Don't worry maybe someday you will see her too. Nobody knows maybe you already saw her accident," Ms. Kelly said then tap my shoulder.

I just simple smile at her and thank her.

( The next morning.....)

We are now packing up because Ms. Avery finally got to discharged.

"Ms. Kelly did you have my card?" Ms. Avery asked.

"Yes ma'am it's in here at your bag," she answered.

"Get my card then go to the billing section and paid for my hospital bills," she ordered.

"Okay Ms. Avery," she obeyed then got out.

"Is my car already outside?" she asked.

"No Ms. Avery. We are going with Ms. Kelly's car," I said.

"Okay let's already head out. I don't want to be here anymore," she said then I open the door for her.

We head outside then got into the elevator. We head out of the hospital building and get into Ms. Kelly's car.

While driving we are silent. We got to Ms. Avery's condo first and help her carry her things. We bid goodbye to Ms. Avery then we drove away. We also head to my house.

When the car stop I exit to Ms. Kelly's car as well her.

"Thank you Ms. Kelly for driving me off on my house. I really appreciate it," I said then bowed at her.

"That's fine Liam and don't be too formal to me I'm also a newbie employee and we probably share the same age," she said then let out a chuckle.

"Okay Kelly I should probably head inside. Goodbye and be careful at driving. See you on Monday ," I said then wave at her.

She got into her car and then gave a wave back. After that she drove off.

"May I know who is that young lady?" a person behind me asked.

"Oh dad your here! I almost got heart attack by your sudden voice," I said after I flinched.

"Oh sorry I was here outside then got to see that my son got home accompanied by a young lady. Is that your boss?" my dad asked.

"Why would my boss accompanied me to got home?" I asked back.

"Come on just answer my question," he said.

"Dad that just one of my co-worker," I answered.

"Does she likes you?" After my dad asked that it made me shocked.

"Dad she is just a co-worker why would you think of that?" I asked while still can't process what my dad said.

"Why? Don't you think it's weird for a girl to drove you home?" he asked again.

"She just insist be because she don't want me to commute at this hours and probably there is no bus right now that's why," I explained.

"Fine whatever you say I still think she likes you," my dad said with a teasing tone.

"I'm going inside dad I'm tired," I said then wave at him without looking at him.

"I'm just kidding Liam. You got easily pissed when it comes to does kinds of jokes," my dad said while laughing.

"Yeah yeah whatever dad. you should probably rest too," I said then got inside my room.
