I'M HERE FOR YOU ( PLEASE WAKE UP)

It was already 6:00 in the morning. Gisella still laid on the bed with a pale face, unconscious. Lizzy and Gina left to the mansion for their chores while Antonio stood by her bed completely shuttered. He had to rush back to work but he  was so desolated that he didn't feel like moving an inch from the hospital.

"wake up baby...., daddy is waiting for you...please...", he whispered underneath her breath with tears dropping down his eyes as he stood by her bed, holding her hands in his.

" Is time to go dear, you also need some rest before getting back to work. You already know the issue at hand over there as well. Secondly, the doctor suggest she rest without any disturbance so let's go. She'll be fine....", stated Natasha approaching from the door.

She stood by Antonio and laid her hands on his shoulder, patting him consolingly as she stared down on  Gisel smugly.

" Let's see how you move out of this bed alive(smiles)", she murmured in her thoughts.

" Okay, Nat...let's go....", said Antonio, wiping his tears as he stood up from the chair.

Natasha hugged him and drew him away from the hospital.

THE BRILLIANTS SCHOOL COMPLEX

Loretta and her friends sat in their desk, chatting and laughing heartedly when Desmond walked in, depressed.

" Look who is here guys...Desmond... Mr. Lover boy....the saviour of the wired Princess...", announced Loretta, chuckling.

The whole class roared with laughter. Desmond ignored her, gliding to his desk, cheerless. He dropped his bag on his desk and sat down.

Loretta winked at her friends and beckoned them to follow as she trod to Desmond's desk, smiling.

" hey....I can't see your cursed crush anywhere today..where is she(laughs)" ,she teased.

" Or she is hiding her cursed ass from us...", Paola remarked, irritatingly.

Desmond sat on his desk, raging with anger while Loretta and her friends roared with laughter.

" oh....or she finally chose to end her evil, cursed life like she did to her mother..."

" I told you to stay from Gisella and let her be....", he shouted clutching on Bianca's neck as soon as her words escaped from her mouth.

Loretta and Paola stood by them stunned with their mouths wide opened, watching Bianca gasped helpless for breath.

" I'm so sure you guys were the one who attacked her last night....I'm so sure that's the truth...", he added angrily.

The whole class stood around them, puzzled.

"Stop it...Desmond... we didn't do anything...", shouted Paola, nervously.

" Then who....?"

" We don't know....please stop it....now...or you'll kill her...", Loretta yelled anxiously.

He angrily pushed her to the floor and turned back to his desk. Loretta and Paola rushed to Bianca, who laid on the floor, coughing profoundly.

" Get her some water....", Loretta shouted.

Paola hurriedly dashed off to Bianca's desk and brought out her water bottle. She handed it over to Loretta and she helped her sip a little.

" Are you okay....?", they chorused worriedly.

She nodded, panting heavily.

" What is wrong with you, Desmond...? what is all that about...", Loretta yelled angrily from a distance.

Just then their class teacher walked in.

" What is happening over here, Paola....?", the teacher asked.

The whole class quickly settled down, silent including, Loretta, Bianca and Paola.

" Uhm.....nothing sir....we were just discussing something. "

" Are you sure...."

" yes sir....."

" Okay....now let's start our lesson for today but before that, I've got an announcement for the class."

Bianca, Loretta and Paola, starred angrily at Desmond who was looking into a book, ignoring.

"Gisella has been admitted at the hospital and in coma at the moment so she won't be joining class for a while....Let's all remember her in our prayers...."

Desmond swiftly raised his head from his book, tearful, glancing at their teacher.

" Okay sir....", the class chorused with the exception of Desmond who quickly bolted out of the class.

" Desmond.....!  Desmond...! "

The teacher called but she was far gone.

HOSPITAL

Natasha returned to the hospital and strolled to Gisella's ward. She stared at her pale face and held her hand, smiling satisfactorily.

" Today is your last day on this earth (smiles) poor you, sorry you couldn't say your final byes to  daddy but don't worry, I'll tell him for you..."

She chuckled as she slowing lift the oxygen mask from her nose. Suddenly, Desmond dashed into the ward panting.

" Gisel......, Gisella....", he cried from the door, approaching them.

Natasha jolted, panicked and quickly dropped the mask on her nose.

" Mum....how is she....?", asked Desmond, gliding towards the bed.

" Uhm...she's fine....", she stammered,tensed.

He stood quietly beside her bed, taking her hand into his, nervously.

" Uhm....what's your name and who are you to my  baby...."

" Desmond, a classmate.... ", answered Desmond, starring at Gisel's pale face.

" Okay..., can you stay by her for a while, while I talk to the doctor...?"

" Sure....ma'am, I'll be with her..... ",replied Desmond, settling beside her.

Natasha walked to the door, paused and stared back at Desmond and Gisel.

" you are lucky you escaped this time, Gisel but I promise you, the next time, won't be so lucky for you to escape.....", she muttered faintly and dashed out.

Desmond stared at Gisella's face devastated and shuttered.

" who did  this to you, Gisel.....? Please wake up, I'm here for you....I promise to get back at anyone who caused you this pain....(tears drop down her eyes). Please..... "

Suddenly, tears dropped down Gisel's eye and her finger slightly moved.
