As the days went on in the company she realised that she saw Jaxton less and lesser and this space they had taken.
Even though she wanted it but she still felt a certain kind of way for him.
As she made her way to his office so she could see him.
She tried his number and it began to ring and he just watched it ring till it was stopped.
She knew he was doing it on purpose so she just turned and went into her office to finish her work.
When she received a call from a strange number she picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hello is this Miss Sydney?"
"Yes, this is she?" she said.
"Your friends Amanda and Kimberly have been involved in an accident and they suggested you as their only guardian.
" What?" she screamed and then gathered the valuable things she could and left the office in a rush.
"Nurse, where are they?" she asked hysterically.
The nurse came in to check up on Kimberly, she has been awake doing nothing.
She just stared at the ceiling of the hospital. She kept thinking about things, in fact, everything in her life.
“Hi, Miss.” The nurse said jolting Kim out of her thoughts. She turned her head to look at the nurse and she accompanied her look with a smile.
“Hi, ma'am.” She responded and the nurse gave her a comforting smile.
“I am here to make sure you are okay, how are you feeling your friend is, here,” she asked running a quick check on Kim.
“I feel normal. Please how is Amanda? Is she okay now?” She asked and the nurse smiled.
“She is in the operating room Kim, you don’t have to worry,” Sydney said and Kim smiled widely.
“Thank you so much.” She said and the nurse looked at her.
Sydney knew she wasn’t in a place to ask or discuss personal things with a patient, but she was forced to ask Kim.
Although they were friends due to her always having to be at work she had drifted a little but seeing how Kimberly could sacrifice for their friendship she began to feel bad.
“Do you love our friend Amanda that much?"
“Pardon?” Kim uttered.
“Do you love her so much that you could sacrifice your other kidney even when your other one isn’t that strong,” she said and Kim sighed.
“I never knew I could do something this crazy for someone my entire life. We kept fighting and insulting each other, we always pretend not to have that soft spot for each other. But the way I saw her lay lifeless on that bed, it was like a part of me was lifeless.” Kimberly explained to Sydney.
“I don’t know but if that is what love is, then I am in love. I can’t deny it any longer. My stupid self gave her his allergies and didn’t even say sorry. The Doctor said her case worsened because of the allergies, which means I was the cause.”
"No no, don't say that Kimmy, she is going to be fine you just saved her," Sydney said as the nurse finally realised that was her cue to leave.
“I couldn’t take it. I could imagine someone dying because of my own stupid mistakes. And I couldn’t imagine my friend leaving me behind. This world has been so harsh, but trust me, she has been the best.” Kim talked and tears filled Sydney's eyes already.
“You said you both acted like you hated each other. How come you saw her as a friend?” Sydney further asked.
“A friend is someone you can talk to, someone that would help you in time of need. Someone that will always be there, you and Amanda are everything, just that you get super busy most times and forget about the other but you have a good heart" she said and began to cough.
“She even got me clothes, though she made it seem I bought them with my salary. She did everything for me without hesitation” Kim said laughing and Sydney smiled widely.
“The frustration is part of the reason why you are our friend. If you don’t like a person, it is hard to get frustrated by them because you ignore them most of the time.” Sydney explained and Kim nodded.
“Of course. Even though you all are so annoying, I still never stopped going to you guys.” Sydney smiled.
“You loved the frustration,” Sydney said and they both laughed
“I did. And I don’t want to lose that frustration now.” She said.
“Wow. I can’t believe I am crying.” Sydney said chuckling.
“Why? Is our story that pathetic?” Kim asked looking at Sydney and she shook her head.
“No, no. It isn’t about you, It is about me I have been a bad friend and it's now I am realising it" Sydney said feeling bad about how she had neglected her friends.
“But it seems I can’t have that someone,” Sydney said and Kim creased her brows.
“But you have Jaxton, don't you?"
"We broke up babe that's the reason why I wish I find that person soon. I am at the edge of giving up, to be honest.” Sydney said.
“You will meet the person, everyone has his or her partner. You don’t have to worry, you would meet with your better half one day.” Kim said and she smiled and bobbed her head.
The nurse entered the room again.
“Let's talk health now, I can’t be caught talking personal stuff with a patient.” The nurse said.
" Ah, I hate this part," Kim said with annoyance in her voice.
“I get it,” Sydney responded with a smile as the nurse began her talk.
“So here we have your daily medications. You have a total of twelve drugs you need to take every day.” She said and Kim's eyes widened.
“Twelve drugs?? OMG.” She stated in amusement.
“It isn’t that scary, you don’t have to worry.” She said and Kim sighed.
“I will get them for you, babe," Sydney said and Kim looked at him with gooey eyes.
“Thank you,” Kim said.
“The drugs are not here with me because you would need them after you have been discharged. I would bring them to you and explain how each of them is used. And please note, the drugs and prescriptions could change so please keep visiting the hospital for regular checkups.” The nurse said.
“Doesn’t seem so hard.” She said and the nurse grinned.
“I would leave you to rest now.” She said keeping her jotter in her side pocket.
"One more thing can you tell us when our friend is up?"Sydney asked.
“Of course. You should rest now.”
