My Heartbeat

[Joys' POV]

"Talking to the moon....." I heard and that made my heartbeat back to normal,

I can feel that I'm awake, I can feel that I'm alive now,

"Let me try moving my finger!" In my mind,

"Ha! Mom! Dad! Doc! Joys' finger moved!" I heard my brother shouted joyfully,

"What?" My mom was surprised,

"Thank goodness!" I heard how thankful my dad is,

[Sob] 

I can hear them crying because of happiness,

Because of that my tears just dropped out from my closed eyes,

"Excuse me! Let me check here first!" I heard the doctor,

[Sob]

I can only focus on the sound of my family crying because of the joy,

"It's a miracle!" I heard the doctor,

"Huh! I think it's because of the voice I heard! I'll find you!" In my mind,

[After an hour]

*Beep, Beep, Beep* 

[People chattering]

I heard the sound inside the hospital, so I decided to try opening my eyes and I made it, I can see that the room is filled with different colors,

"So warm!" 

"Ha! Joy? What? Did you just spoke?" I heard my brother is really surprised,

"B-brother?" I said,

"Joy!" I heard him shouting while running towards me,

[Sobbing]

"Thank you! Thank you, god!" I saw him crying  in my arms,

I reached his head with my left hand and patted his head,

"Don't move yet! Don't use so much strength yet!" He stopped me and put my hand back, 

"I'll call the doctor first!" He rashly went outside,

[Door closes]

"Thank you, Lord!" I look outside the window and say thanks to the lord.

[Door Opens]

"There she is Doc! She's now awake!" I heard my brother said happily,

"Ow!" I heard the doctor,

"How are you feeling?" The doctor asks me,

"My mind and heartbeat is fine, but I think my physical strength still needs a lot of time to recover," I said,

"That's good! I'll perform some check-ups with your mind and body later this afternoon, for now, you need to eat!" The doctor said,

"Okay! Doc, Thank you!" I said,

"Thank you doc!" My brother said,

"You're welcome!" The doctor said then go outside the room,

"Hey, Tom! Come here!" I called Tom then he rashly run and sit beside me,

"What?" He asked,

"Hmm! Can I borrow your phone?" I asked him,

"Okay! Just wait for a moment, I will just going to text mom and dad to bring some food for you!" He said then quickly texted our parents,

"Okay!" I said then smile,

[After a minute]

"Here!" Tom give his phone to me,

"Thank you!" I said then smile,

I wandered into his phone, then I saw the TikTok app. I click and watch some videos, and then...

"Omg! My heart!" I put my palm in my chest where my heart is stated under,

"What happens?" Tom asked with a worried expression,

"Nothing, just who is this guy?" I asked,

"Ow! That guy..."

[Knock-knock]

"We're here!" Tom didn't finish what he wants to say because mom and dad arrived,

"Ow, hey mom, dad!" Tom greeted mom and dad,

"Hi mom, hi dad!" I greeted them and they just rashly ran and hug me,

"Oh thank God you're awake!" My mom cried,

"Mom stop crying, okay?" I held mom's face and wiped her tears,

"How are you feeling?" My dad asked me calmly,

"I don't feel any pain, maybe I'm fine, hehe!" I smiled at them,

"That's good, for now, you need to eat!" My mom said while peeling the apple for me,

I can't stop myself from smiling while looking at them, dad is preparing my food while my big brother is helping him.

*ring!*

"Oh! Let me take this call, just a sec." My brother rashly go outside the room to answer his phone call,

"Does he have a girlfriend?" I'm curious because he is smiling joyfully,

"Haha!" My mom and dad just laughed at me,

I'm really curious, I want to hit my big brother.

*Door Opens*

"Big brother, can you sit beside me?" I faked my smile,

"Oh, okay?" He is confused but still walking towards me,

"Hmmmm, who's that person? is that your girlfriend?" I pinched his ears,

"Ouch! It's a boy! Haha!" He laughed at me,

"Oh, big brother, you're...."

"Don't ever say that, you've misunderstood me!" He stopped me by covering my mouth with his hand,

"Haha, I was just joking!" I laughed at him,

" Stop playing around now, you need to eat!" My mom sat beside me,

"okay!" I smiled at them,

[Toms' POV]

"Just wait a little longer, he will tell you in person, soon!" I can't tell her who that person is, he asked me not to tell her.

Five days later joy got discharged from the hospital,

[Joys' POV]

"Big brother, where's the printer?" Right after we went home i rashly sought for the printer,

"Oh, wait let me get that one to the storage room" My brother rashly went to storage room to get the printer.

[Tom's POV]

"Pfft! I think i know what she want to do!" I chuckled and whispered,

"Big brother!"

"Ow! You surprised me! hehe!" She can't wait any longer,

"Thank you, Big brother!" She holds my arms and clinging onto me sweetly while we're walking towards the study table.

As i place the printer on the table she quickly sat on the chair,

"Hooo!" Her eyes are sparkling, she is really eager to print his face huh!

But i hope that she wont remember him when the time comes! "sigh!"

"what was that for Big brother?"

"Nothing, hehe!"

I unconsciously sighed beside her,

"Okay!" She said then starts to print.

Joy is so excited to print Jem's photos.

Right after she finished printing Jem's photos, she rashly go to her room then covered her wall by those photos, even her ceiling, she pleased her big brother again.

[Toms' POV]

"Big brother! Isn't he cute?" She asked me out of nowhere,

"Hehe! Of course, from then till now in your eyes he's always cute and handsome!" I got carried away,

"What do you mean from then till now?" She asked me,

"Ow... i... i mean, from that day, yes, on the hospital, remember?" I really stuttered,

"Ow that's right, hehe!" She smiled lovely,

"Hehe! By the way, i'll excuse myself for now, i still need to help mom on preparing food for lunch!" I'm so nervous right now,

"Okay big brother, Thank you so much!" She thanked me,

"Okay, it's my pleasure, my precious little sister!" i bowed at her like a prince. We're always like this before when we we're kids.

I rashly go outside her room,

"I almost slipped, sorry Bro! sorry Joy!" I whispered while leaning on her  door. I went downstairs afterwards to help mom.

[Joy's POV]

"Hehe! I can only do this for now! I'll do my best to meet you soon! Jem. Thank you so much for existing. Thank you God, for making this guy and letting him do this kind of staff that helped me to wake up. I may not know why i am being like this towards you, i still love this feeling.

Pleased to meet you, My Heartbeat!" I smiled.

Jem

On the day Joy woke up.

[Jem's POV]

"I'm always asking and sometimes visiting her, but I can't right now. I need to meet some fans today. I just hope that she wakes up. Lord, please help her, I know I have done something unforgivable to her but I know that you already know why right? I'm so sorry Joy for hurting you that bad, I hope you can still forgive me when the right time comes! I'm sorry. God, please wake her up, that's all I'm asking from you! Thank you for not giving up on her, thank you for helping her to continue breathing!" I always prayed for her.

"Really can't go out without checking her! What a pain! Let me call Tom first" I complained but still,

*ring*

"Oh, Bro! I have good news for you! But before that, why are you calling me this time? You're supposed to be on your way to meet your fans right?" Tom answered that made my heart beat abnormally, I suddenly feel happy without even knowing why.

"You know me right? You know that I can't feel at ease if I don't know her situation right?" I said,

"Ow right, haha! By the way, Joy just woke up! " Tom said that made me speechless,

"What...? Really? Ow, Thank you, God! But please don't mention a bit of information about me to her, okay?" I said while my heart is flattering.

"Haha! You're so funny, you're going to meet your fans, don't cry or else you'll meet them with your ugly crybaby face, haha!" He loves teasing me, huh!

"You idiot!"

"Jem, we need to go now!" I didn't have much time to tell him everything because I'm in my hectic schedule right now,

"Oh! That's Shane? Say hi to her for me! Hehe!" He pleased me,

"Hey, Shane! Tom said Hi!" I shouted at Shane (My little older sister and also my assistant)

"Back off, tell him!" Shane shouted back,

"Why can't you two just text and call each other, don't make me your message sender!" I shouted back to them,

"Oh! It's good to have you back!" Tom got serious all of a sudden,

"Let's stop this I need to go, please take good care of Joy for me!" I said,

"Okay, bye bro! Take care! See you!" Tom end the call immediately.

Jem was shocked, he missed himself shouting like that to those two.

(Way back when Jem's Family need to go back to China, that saddened Jem, he don't want to leave Joy. As the day goes by, they continued to grow without communicating with each other. He only has communication with Tom. The thing that made Jem change his attitude into a cold one, is the news that he heard from Tom and that's Joys' accident. On his 18th birthday, both he and Shane decided to ask their parents to go back to manila. Afterward, he started to show up on Tiktok by doing some POVs. He attracted a lot of hearts, he suddenly got famous. His social media Career started on Tiktok. He received some emails from showbiz entertainment but he denied it.)

*Beep* (call ended)

"Agh! Thank God!" I scratched my head without knowing that my tears is dripping.

*knock-knock*

I immediately wiped my tears,

"Are you finished talking?" Shane asked,

"Yes! Let's go!" He answered with a big smile.

Jem's fan meeting last for 4 hours. He received a lot of gifts but one thing that excites him also bothers him is how he'll face Joy.

Every day he is checking Joy by calling Tom. 

The day before Joy got discharged.

At the  hospital,

"Good morning nurse! What is the room number under the name of Joy Virde?" I asked the nurse,

"Okay wait sir let me check, one second please!" The nurse searched her name,

"It's room number 105 on the second floor sir!" The nurse said,

"Okay thank you!" I said then immediately go to the elevator.

Jem is wearing a mask and a cup to hide his face.

When I reach the second floor I saw Tom sitting outside Joy's room,

"Tom!" I quietly call him,

"Oh, Bro, what are you doing here?" he's asking me while looking around,

"I'm here to see Joy!" I said. I suddenly feel uncomfortable and broken when I see his eyes looking down full of sadness,

*clearing throat*

"Can we talk somewhere else?" Tom said without looking at me.

I can't spit a bit of word, I just followed him as he walk while pulling me, I can feel that my chest seems so heavy. The feeling of being forgotten, the same a what I felt before.

When we arrived at the rooftop, my mind is still full of questions, why? what happened?

" Hey, Jem!" I heard Tom say in a serious tone, then I just...

"Hm!" while looking at him with my confused eyes looking at him as he looks at the other side,

"Joy has amnesia, and the unbelievable surprising thing is that she had only forgotten about you!" Tom said without looking at me,

"H..o.. how!?" *sob*

"Don't cry Jem, the doctor said it was only temporary, but Joy may experience a heavy shock when the time comes, the doctor found out that before Joy got an accident, her mind and heart is full of many thoughts with only one person, and as I listen to the doctor, I easily get or found who that person is, and it's you Jem. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you, I just feel sad that Joy had forgotten about you." Tom said. The heavy feeling continues to add weight to my heart,

"Okay Bro, I know, maybe I'll just head home for now! Take good care of Joy for me okay? Thank you for telling me without hesitating bro. I'll take my leave for now bro. Take care as well!" I don't know how to face anyone, for now, I just keep on running till I reach my car in the parking lot.

*sob..sob*

"Why? Ahhhhhhh!" I cried and cried until I feel at ease.

I just went home,

"Little Jem?" I heard Shane

"I'm tired, can we please not shoot for these days I need to take a break! Sorry big sister, please just tell my fans, I know they'll understand!" I said as I continue to go upstairs,

"Okay!" Shane said.

As I enter my room, I suddenly kneeled unconsciously,

"Joy! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I don' know what to do, I don't know how to think, and no other word is coming out from my mind, I can only say sorry.

As Jem continues to cry Shane is...

[Shane's POV]

"Little bro!" I whispered outside his door with my teary eyes.

She decided to call Tom.

*ring*

"Hello! Tom?" I asked as he answered the call,

"Shane?" I can feel the sadness in his voice,

"How are you?" I asked him,

"I'm fine, I didn't get into trouble nowadays, hehe!" He pushed himself to laugh, I can feel it,

"I didn't about that though, tsk! Let's meet now!" I demanded, then ended the call.

"Little Jem, mom, dad, I'll go out, for now, I'm not going to take my dinner here! Bye for now!" I shouted while picking up the things that I'll bring and rashly go to my car.
