Neil looked around the room. He waited for Eva to appear. Usually, it didn't take long for the machine to transport her in. Right when he was about to assume the worst and conclude that something went wrong, Eva appeared. She looked pretty sad.
"What's wrong? You don't look so happy. You are usually depressed when we get closer to finishing our goal. Deciding to skip around a bit?" Neil mocked.
"Shut up Neil. I just feel bad for him. Our client. Did you see face? He had a depressed looked yet there were hints of happiness. I wonder why. It makes me feel a little uneasy. " Eva replied. As she stared out the window, her eyes perked up a bit. Neil turned to the window and sighed. Gilbert was outside, sitting on a bench. Silently, both doctors navigated themselves out of the house and walked up to Gilbert. As they approached Gilbert, he snapped out of his deep thoughts and looked up at both of them.
"Hello. Do you need something? We usually don't get many visitors around here. " Gilbert smiled.
Eva spoke up before Neil had the chance to say anything stupid.
"I'm Dr. Rosalene and this is Dr. Watts. Do you know about Sigmund Corps? " Eva asked.
"Yea, I was about to call you right now. Wait….. How did you know that…? Oh…. That means. " Gilbert murmured. "So, I'm almost dead. At least I had a good life…"
Eva and Neil looked at Gilbert in shock. No one had figured out that they were dying that quickly. Although, it made perfect sense that someone they were going to call showed up right before they actually made the call.
"Your wish was to confess to the girl you loved, right? Who is she?" Neil asked. He wanted to make a stupid joke, but the tech team decided to install a recording device in the machine to make sure that no one was fooling around. The last thing that Neil wanted was to lose his job.
"I think I love her. I'm not so sure. She has been always there for me, but then again she feels like a ghost. I can't have her. She probably hates me. For ruining her life. She…. She…. I don't feel like she exists. She seems too perfect for me. I don't know what to do…." Gilbert sobbed. His tears streamed down his face as he let go of all his tears that he had been holding on. Neil and Eva looked at each other with concern. If Gilbert won't stop crying, he might not be able to tell them who the girl is. Even if they reset the moment, it might be possible that he can't muster up the courage to tell them who the girl is. He hadn't even told his brother, yet alone some stranger. Even the receptionist at Sigmund told them that he was reluctant to tell them who it was. He muttered a name into the phone and cried for a few minutes, then hung up. They were able to track him down, but that was all.
"Neil….. I think we should go…" Eva hesitantly sighed. She put her hand on his shoulder and took one last look at the crying man before they both disappeared.
Im soooooooooooo sorry about this chapter coming out so late. School, SAT, finals…. Worst months of my life. I'll never get into a good college now. Anyways, I know this chapter is really short and stuff, but I didn't want my readers to be left hanging and to think I was dead or completely forgot about this. Please leave reviews, critiques, or ideas. I promise that the next few chapters would take as long….
