Chapter 24: I Know I'll be Okay, Though my Skiies Are Turning Gray

You’re home, Cassie. Cassie? Oh no, you’re very hot!
Galvin? Cassie?
I’ll explain later, could we take her in?


Suddenly…

Who is that guy? And why is Cassidy with her?
Oh, god. Cassidy! She’s burning hot!
Let’s take her to the hospital.


I opened my eyes. My vision was blurry at first. I then saw Ingrid’s face.


M-Mom…?
Oh goodness. She called me Mom!
Cassie, sweetheart, are you okay?
D-Dad? Where am I?
You’re at the hospital my dear. Your fever seemed to cool down.

We were worried. We’re afraid were gonna lose you.


Worried? They cared for me? That brought me to tears.


I’m sorry… Mom… Dad… I’ve been a bad girl. I-I didn’t realize…
Shh. It’s okay now. We understood your situation. It wasn’t easy for you.
I’m sorry sweetie. But everything’s going to be okay now.


I have fallen asleep after that. When I regained consciousness, I heard a voice. I didn’t open my eyes. I listened to the voice. Galvin’s voice.


I settled with him, Cassie. He would explain everything to you. I didn’t want to give up, but what’s the point of fighting if you wouldn’t be happy with me? This was the first fight I came out a loser. Be strong, Cassie. Just like the Cassidy I’ve know. The Cassidy I fell in love with.


Then the voice stopped. The next thing I heard was the sound of the door being closed.
