Hello, everyone! I haven't had that much time to write for the last few weeks. I apologize. This chapter is very short but I promise you that I will make the next one longer. Thank you?

Chapter 3

Lou POV

I am in a big castle. The interior and the exterior walls are filled with white marbles. It's breathtakingly a gorgeous piece of architecture I had ever seen in my entire life. I felt like I was a princess in a white castle waiting for my prince charming to come and kiss me. How cliché…The sunlight shines through the marble stones of this castle. I feel the warmth on my skin. It touches every ounce of my body and it feels amazing. I look around this place. It's a feeling of familiarity. I hear voices from distance. I hear laughter. I hear a child's voice reaching closer to me. He touches my hands. Mommy, mommy, let's go. I am in awe of how he looks. He is a beautiful and a handsome boy. His eyes are as bright as the sky. I know he is my son. I go running after him in this beautiful castle. I am running after my boy and … My eyes are open. What was that dream about? It felt so real. My mind couldn't comprehend it… I sigh, the dream was probably the result of the drugs they have given me.

I hear the beeping monitor next to me. Oh, reality hits me again. I feel groggy and I realize that I was just dreaming. I look at the clock and it's four in the morning. I want to go back to my beautiful dream. Why did it feel so real? I contemplate on it, every sensation I felt in this dream. My life had always been somewhat dull. I was a simple plain girl who lived with her parents and had to take care of them financially. I never traveled the world or explored possibilities around me. Truthfully, I was comfortable and satisfied. I never asked for more or wanted anything from life. I would go to work every day at the café back home, watch TV, take care of grandad at times, and hang out with Patrick. We moved to London about a few weeks ago because of Treena. She wanted to go back to Uni. And for me, I didn't have a lot of options open for me. I had to search for jobs for weeks on. And yet, there was nothing available. Now, my world had become upside down. In the span of one day, I had injured myself and broke things off with Patrick. I didn't want to be emotional about the breakup but honestly, it was hard. He didn't deserve any of my tears but I still felt alone. Even when he was still being an awful arse, I would have preferred someone to be with me even if it meant Patrick staying with me. Ugh…

Mr. Traynor, 'Will', had to be an angel. He was an angel, period. He appeared from nowhere and now he was taking care of me. How could I repay his generosity and kindness? I should call mom as soon as I can and ask her to invite him for dinner when everything is settled. It would be the least that I could do for him. I didn't even know where he was from or what he did. From his clothes and the style of his hair, I assumed that he must come from good money. Well, what did I know about people with good money? I usually judged them and didn't pay too much attention to their lifestyle. The clock was ticking slowly and I was trying to force myself to go back to sleep but I had so much pain. I pushed a button, and the overnight nurse came in. "I need more pain killers. Please." I looked at him with my puppy eyes. "Ms. Clark, I was advised to give you a small dose and you are going to have to wait for Dr. Shah tomorrow". Bloody stupid nurse. He doesn't understand it. I mumble to myself, trying not to think about my pain. I was dosing off to sleep finally. The last thought that appeared in my head was, 'how the bloody hell will I get home?'

Will POV

So, Alicia was here! Hmm. How wonderful and interesting! I don't think they heard me open and shut the door. I had to get this over with, so I shouted, "Hello!". The room went quiet. I heard them struggling to get their clothes on. "Oh crap", I heard Rupert say. What did he think of me? Did he think I was not coming to stay here tonight? How stupid of him to think that! I folded my arms as I stood next to the couch. I saw Alicia come out first, then 'his majesty', Rupert. I saw Alicia's smug face. Was she proud of what they were doing? Why did I care? She wasn't with me anymore. She could have slept with anyone that she wanted. But Rupert, how dare he do this to me? He was supposedly my best friend. We had worked together for years. He had supported me through everything. He helped me start my company. I did not understand. At least he owed me an explanation. No one said anything. "Explain yourselves" I demanded. "Will, don't be judgmental baby doll. We aren't together. I am with Rupert now and we are enjoying ourselves". I hated when she called me baby doll. Ugh. She continued, "Plus it wasn't like you were an angel. You were never around, and since you started your own company, you got busier. I wasn't going to sit and wait for you every night. All those parties and events. Rupert told me how you looked at other women and chasing the assistants around! So how dare you judge me!" I could not believe Rupert. Again, what kind of a best friend was he? Plus, I never actually cheated on Alicia. We boys had our fun chasing the girls but I never fully intended to be physical with any of them. "How big of him! Get lost, both of you" I turned to Rupert, "And you" I pointed at him, "Don't come back to the company", "We are done". "You have an hour, you can get your bloody stuff and leave". What did she think of me? I didn't care that she was dating. But my best friend? Of course, she didn't get it, neither did Rupert. So, I left the room.

This entire day had become a nightmare. First that girl's accident, now Rupert and Alicia's wonderful shagging. What else was ahead of me? What else would I look forward to? This whole vacation sucks! I decide to ditch the bar and go for a walk to clear my mind. I was so angry. I didn't understand their actions. I walked for an hour, and I still felt dumbfounded. I decided to call Louisa Clark's family finally to get some things off of my mind.

"Hello?" Someone from the other line said. "Hello. My name is William Traynor. I am calling from New York. So please don't hang up on me. Am I talking to Louisa Clark's mom or dad?" "Oh. This is her sister Treena. Is everything okay? Who are you? What has happened to my sister?" She raised her voice. "Hello, Treena. Everything is fine. There was an accident this morning. She is in the hospital now". I heard her gasp. I wanted to reassure her that her sister was safe and I would look after Louisa while she was by herself. "Don't panic, please. She is being taken care of. She has some injuries but with some therapy and hard work, she can be back to normal in the next few months". "Ms. Clark asked me to call you and to let you know of her situation". "Where is her boyfriend, Patrick?". I explained to her the events of this morning. I felt like she was not convinced that I could take care of her sister. I heard another voice talking to me over the phone. "Hello, sir. My name is Josie. I am Lou's mom. Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. How is she doing? What is the plan? Can she fly back as soon as possible?". Her voice was much kinder than Lou's sister. "She is in the hospital now resting. The doctors said they will discharge her in a week depending on how she is doing. But I believe she needs to do therapy as soon as possible and she needs to do a follow up with a good doctor when she is back". I could hear her family's conversation on the phone. Someone was asking 'What are we going to do', I heard another person was crying. "Mrs. Clark", I said. "I will make sure that your daughter is taken care of. I know I am a stranger to your family, but I will not leave her by herself. I will promise you that. Now, can I talk with Treena please?" I heard a man's voice, assuming it was Mr. Clark and he said, "God bless you. Thank you so much". I held the phone and for the first time today, I smiled.

Treena and I discussed what would be the best option for Louisa in order to leave New York. The first option was for her to stay in the hospital until she was discharged and go back by herself. I didn't like that at all. The second option was for Treena to come and stay here until they go back home with together. I think both of us liked the second option much better. I knew Treena was worried about how she would get herself to New York. I offered to pay for her flight but she would not accept it. I reassured her that once they got everything figured out they can think of some way to repay for the tickets. But in my heart, I knew I would never want anything from them. Buying plane tickets was not a big expense for me. I traveled a lot so I could use my points. I was going to spend money for my vacation but now I could use it for a better cause.

Will saw Louisa become emotional when she talked to her family for the first time. She had started crying. He knew how overwhelming the situation had become for her. He remembered when his sister got into a car accident when she was 16 years old. She was a trouble maker when she was younger. Georgina had gone missing for a few hours and then the call came. They were all worried for her. Once they got to the hospital, they learned that she had gone to a party, had gotten drunk, and she had gotten into an accident. Thankfully, she didn't harm another soul but she had hit a tree. Will had promised his mom to look after his sister at that time and to make sure she was not getting into more trouble.

Will had explained to Louisa what the plans would look like for the next few days. Will had to take care of some things and figure out how Louisa's move was going to look like. Treena was going to arrive in the next 12 hours and to be with her. This was relieving for Louisa. She felt so much better knowing her sister was going to come and be there for her. Then there was Will. How could she possibly thank him? He had done so much for her. She couldn't look at him, struggling to find words, to thank him somehow. She looked at him suddenly and when she met his eyes, her cheeks blushed. How could she look at a face of an angel? Her angel who saved her life. His eyes were mesmerizing, deep in thought. No words were exchanged yet between them. He felt that tingling feeling in his stomach again. She was so beautiful even when she was in pain. She knew she would need to do something personal for him when she got back home. She didn't know where he lived or what he did for a living. She also noticed that Will looked tired and there was something else. She could not figure out what was going on with him. Was he tired because of lack of sleep, or was it something else? As she was about to open her mouth to say something, she saw Will standing up suddenly. What was going on? He looked at his phone then he looked at Lou one last time, and left the room.

After 30 minutes, a nurse came in. Lou was so nervous and she did not know what was going on. The nurse handed her a note and an envelope. Lou's eyes watered and she looked at the note.

My dad had a heart attack. I need to leave now.

I am sorry that you have to wait by yourself until Treena comes tonight.

It was a pleasure meeting you. Until next time…

Lou's POV

William Traynor had left me speechless. I could not contemplate on what had just happened. He left me to myself. I didn't want us to part easily. But he had to go. I hoped that everything was okay. That nothing bad had happened to his dad. Nonetheless, when he left, it stung. I didn't think we would part so soon. I wanted to rewind the time we had together and talk to him more. But he was gone. I had to get a grip of myself. He was a man who saved my life and that was it. I couldn't become too involved or get emotionally attached after knowing him for the last 48 hours. The only thing that held me together was knowing my sister would be here soon.

P.S. I left a short line from the show Friends, let me know if you can guess it! Have a fantastic week.
