Remember me - Chapter 2

"Alex! Angel's on the line." Jem shouted across the living room, " You better come quickly, I think something happen and Angel's now on the verge of breaking down."

"Angel, what happen?" Alex asked as he grabs the receiver from Jem.

"It's Rain, Just now... I was leaving... I found ... Rain... blood everywhere..." those where the only words Angel manage to say before breaking down and bust into tears.

"Huh... Rain...What! Where are you guys now? What happen to Rain? Didn't you manage to contact Jimmy? Don't worry; I will be over right away." Alex said as panic grab hold of his heart.
"We're in the general hospital now, Rain's still in the operation room. Alex.. I'm scare that something bad might happen to Rain, and I can't seem to get Jimmy anywhere." Angel replied

"Don't worry Angel, you just keep calling Jimmy. I'll be there in 20 minutes. Just stay cool. Rain will be alright." Alex said as he grab hold of his jacket and keys and began to make his way to the door.

"Sis, Rain's in the hospital now, so I am going over. You wanna come along to keep Angel company?" Alex said as he reached the door.

"Oh my god, wait right there for me. Let me go get change first." Jem said as she opened her wardrobe.

"Angel! What did the doctor say? Where's Rain now? “Alex asked as soon as he sees Angel at the waiting area.

"Rain's not out yet." Angel said as she tried to control her tears.

"There, there Angel, don't worry. Rain will be just fine. Look, the doctor's out." Jem said as she pointed towards the operation room.

"Doctor, how's my sister?" Angel asked.

"You are?" the doctor asked.

"I'm her elder twin sister. Both our parents are out of town and I can't contact our eldest brother." Angel replied.

"I see, don't worry Miss Ong, your sister will be alright. The operation was a success. Right now, all she need is great deal of rest, as she lost quite an amount of blood." the doctor said as he gave Angel an encouraging pat on her back and left.

"She's fine...." with that Angel collapsed onto the floor.

"Angel! Are you alright? " Alex exclaimed as he went over to help Angel on to her feet.

"It's okay, I'm just too relief, and as a result my legs gave way." Angel explained.

"Jem, could you send Angel back? I think she needs all the rest she can get now. I'll stay behind to look after Rain." Alex said.

"Are you sure?" Angel said "I don't think I can get much rest anyway, but I will try to contact Jimmy again. Do remember to give me a call once Rain wakes up. Okay?"

"Don't worry; I will call you if anything happens. You better get some rest too, you are as pale as Rain." Alex replied.

Everything went smoothly for the rest of the night. As Alex looked at Rain's angelic face while she sleeps, he began to remember how they first met. It was a normal school day for them, Alex was from the first class in the faculty and Rain was in the next. Though they are from two different classes, these two happen to join the same club, library, and since the first day, they have been loggerheads. It's was only until one night of accidental meeting, did they finally get to know each other better.

Angel went over to a cousin's place to stay for the night, leaving Rain alone in the hostel to complete her project. Alex accidentally entered the wrong room; being drunk he couldn't differentiate between the two rooms, therefore, before Rain could say anything, he had already fallen face flat on the floor. Seeing the various wounds on him, Rain took care of him the whole night.

The next morning, when Alex finally woke up from his alcohol induce slumber, and notice the mistake he had made, he realized for the first time that Rain wasn't what she seems. She's actually a very understand and caring person. For her to take care of him through the night and not report him to their headmaster, it's mean a great deal to Alex. Slowly from then, their friendship began to blossom into something, they themselves don't even understand, let alone notice.

Everyone from their faculty felt that they could really be a perfect couple, all expect themselves. To Rain, Alex was always like a buddy who seems to enjoy finding faults and bicker with her. To Alex, Rain was just like a litter sister he never had. They were always very natural with each other, Rain helping Alex to find his "Miss perfect" and Alex consoling Rain every time her new boyfriend leaves her.

All was well until one day; Alex decided to woo a girl who hated Rain's guts and her popularity. Serena was just like any other 'A-crowd wannbes’ in school. She craved for attention, but realized all the attention was on Alex, Rain and their ‘would be’ relationship. She figured if she had become Alex's new girlfriend, she would be able to get all the attention she wants. Therefore she schemed against Rain in any and every way she can imagine. In order to get the attention she seeked, she knew she had to be the victim, and it's the best way to get in between Alex and Rain.

It's seems that she had succeeded when one day Alex and Rain really had a fight over her, but even when she's Alex's new girlfriend, the attention she seek was never on her. Fuming mad she decided to ditch Alex for someone much better known in the University. It was then, Alex realized that what a fool he had been, Rain was trying to warn him that this could happen and yet he chose to push her away and accuse her of being jealous of him. Also at the same time, he was shocked to realize how much Rain actually meant to him.
