"Ahhhhhhh!" I was at the door of the University cafeteria when a ball hit my left shoulder and pushed me toward the wall beside me. I was shocked and fainted. The next thing I knew when I woke up, I was already at the infirmary of the University.
"You are awake." I was startled by her voice, and it was the University nurse who was looking at me worriedly staring at her face. "Good thing that you are awake now. I have called your father about what happened and I guess he'll be coming now any minute".
"What happened"? I asked her, because I was really shocked and didn't know what happened after I fainted. Someone answered my question and it came from the foot of my bed. They were three good looking guys that were staring at me.
"You were hit by my ball and it missed the receiver who was just beside you. I'm sorry that I miss calculate the target of the ball but it was definitely not for you. I just hope you forgave us for the damages we have caused. It was really an accident. By the way, I am Leonell Marcel, and these are my friends and teammates Jeff and Bryan, and I am the captain of the team".
I was so tongue tied because they were all good looking, especially their captain ball. My body was aching because of some bruises on my arms and right forehead.
"Can I get your name so I can properly address my apology? You can just call me Leon, that's what my team mate called me." He stated.
"I am Melissa Valencia, you can call me Mel or Lisa," though I am not comfortable with their stares. I still extended my hand for a handshake and the three of them did the same. We talked a little and asked what course I'm in and they did the same. Until my father arrived at the infirmary and they extended some more apologies to my father for what happened.
"Sir, we were sorry for what happened. It was really an accident. If there was a need for her to be hospitalized, we are going to compensate for the expenses".
"There is no need for that, I can see that she is alright, just some bruises. That was not all serious wounds, though". My father is a straight forward man and he took me home after the nurse gave me some medicine and pain killers if pain arises as she said.
**Melissa's POV**
My family was not that poor, though we're not that rich. My father works in the largest Electrical company as Supervisor and that made us a little better off than the middle class. My mother is a plain housewife, but when my parents separated, my mother opened up a mini grocery store at our place to pass the time of boredom staying at home. My father encourages this move by my mother. My parents separated when I was ten years old. I am the only child of my parents. They separated because of my mother's emotional issues which they don't explain to me. My father loved my mother so much, and he told me that it is better to separate that there is love and respect for each other, rather than hate and disgust remain. My mother still received her monthly budget from my father even though she already put up her small store. She was not and never will be neglected by my father because he still loved my mother, though they need to be separated to lessen their tension of being together. I have a stepsister from my father's previous marriage. My father's previous wife died of cancer. My step sister is not their biological daughter and not even legally adopted as what my father told me.
My father lived in their ancestral house in the city where I stayed most of the time. I live with my mother's house in the suburban area, and due to scarcity of transportation at the place, I was obliged to stay at my father's house if I would be late going home. My step sister also lived with my father in that house together with her live-in-partner. I was afraid of my brother-in-law because every time he looked at me, there was lust in it. As if he was eye raping me. I was careful in dressing up when I am in this ancestral house because I don't want to be misunderstood.
My father brought me here to recuperate, but I was not at ease of the environment and I can't stay long here. So, I requested my father to take me home to my mother.
"Father, can you take me home to my mother?" I told him.
"Why are you not comfortable here?" He asked me.
"It is not that, I just wanted to have fresh air and a quiet environment. Within the city is quite noisy. For me to recover fast, I need some quiet place, Please Father". I pleaded with him.
"Ok, let's have some dinner first before I'll send you off to your mother". It was a quiet dinner and after that he sent me home.
"What happened to you?' My mother was surprised to see my bruises after I got home, so I told her everything. After that, I went to my room and rested. I left my mother and father downstairs not knowing what they talked about. After I guess a little less than an hour, my father knocked on my room to check if I was already asleep. He kissed me on my forehead and he went back to the city.
