Married at 19

　　"It's time to wake up, my baby."

　　"Mmm....I'm still sleepy, Nathan." My voice sounded a bit raspy, and my eyes were still heavy to be open.

　　Wait….Nathan....? You are already home?

　　I quickly opened my eyes, examining around my bedroom, but there was no one here beside me instead of Max who was sleeping on the couch beside of my bed. I looked at the other side of my bed, where Nathan always slept, and it was emptied.

　　A month past already and I still couldn’t move on with the news. It was so hard for me to handle and I always dreamed about him telling me to wake up everyday.

　　I moved a bit from my position so I could sleep on Nathan's spot, smelling his pillow sheet, with the tears formed on both of my eyes.

　　I miss you so much, Nathan.....

　　As usual, Nick sent me to the campus with his car since he worried about my condition which became worsen time to time, He even said that I lose so much weight and even my face was paler. To be honest, I do not feel like to attend the classes for today, but Sasha said my lecturers want to bar me from this semester’s final exam if I keep absent their classes.

　　"Are you okay, Bella?" Cecilia was worried about me, examining my condition. "You look so pale and thin too."

　　I faked a smile to her. "I'm fine, Cecilia. Don't worry about me."

　　“But…”

　　I cut her in, “I’m fine, believe me.”

　　She gave up then replied me with a nod.

　　But I lied to her, to be honest I felt so uneasy this morning. My head was all dizzy, and I feel like want to vomit anytime. Maybe because I didn't eat last night and also the breakfast this morning. It was just, I have no appetite lately.

　　"Bella, lets grab some meal,” Sasha suggested while tapping my shoulder gently while I was packing my books into my backpack after the class ended. “I'm starving."

　　I nodded. "Okay..."

　　We walked out from the class and headed to the cafeteria which required as to walk along the hallway. Unfortunately, we bumped into Sierra and her friend Kailyn. I thought they were only walking pass by us, but I was wrong.

　　She purposely tripped my feet that made me almost fall. Luckily, Cecilia who was walking beside me managed to catch me with her quick reflection.
