The Nurse
I Need To Breathe ...

Rebeca’s POV:

“Alright you can hug her as much as you want later! Hehe, let’s go eat.” We slowly dropped the hug, to what my aunt suggested; Oh shoot I forgot Harry! I called him with my hand and he took it as he walked closer to me. “Mom, Dad? This is Harry Styles; my boyfriend.” I must admit, introducing Harry as my boyfriend is something I can never stop being happy about no matter how many times I say it. My dad shook his hand and so did my mom, who managed to speak: “It’s good to meet you, son.” Wow! My mom is really accepting and loving all of a sudden? Does this mean that she has dropped the past and is willing to start fresh with me?! Please God let this be true.
“I’m charmed to meet you both.” Harry replied as we all walked to the dining table; but before I could proceed walking ahead, Harry whispered in my ear: “Are you feeling ok, love?” I nodded and he kissed my forehead in warmth. We sat down beside each other, as my parents and aunt took the seats that were facing us. We ate in silence, even though I thought it would be a loud reunion; I guess not.
“So! Rebeca started a job in a really well known hospital here in London.” My aunt broke the silence, and it caught all of our attention. “Really darling? How is it so far? Do you like your job?” My dad asked, and I nodded to him with a smile; my aunt looked at me to emphasize for me to talk.“Um, well its hard work, but I think since I like what I am doing, I will feel comfortable at all times.” Harry added: “She’s a wonderful nurse, indeed.” I smiled at him and he gave me one in return as we proceeded eating.
“She always dreamed of being a nurse, I guess that’s why she mo-…” I cut my mom off and spoke directly: “Mom, please let’s talk about this later?” She sighed and ate a bite; I can’t believe she was this close on telling Harry everything I didn’t want to mention! “Its fine really, please go on.” Seriously Harry? I’m trying to skip this and you want to hear it? Ugh, fine I guess he has to know sooner or later. My mom looked at me, but I nodded for her to speak; I should have known she still thinks about it till this day.
“(She sighed.) Well, her dad and I tried to convince her to study a different major from the one she chose, and she basically ran away to London to precede her studies. She’s been independent her whole life, but it broke our hearts to see her leave us without mentioning her destination. She’s quiet stubborn when it comes to perusing her dreams… We knew she arrived here once Chloe called us, but from that time till now; we haven’t really caught up with her life events…” There you go Harry! Happy now? We are going to argue over again from the beginning.
“Mom, you were the one trying to convince me to drop my dreams; dad never opposed the idea. I moved here, because I knew if I’d have stayed with you; I’ll end up to be a business major. If you were one and you loved it, then that doesn’t mean I do…. (I breathed as I felt suddenly Harry’s hand on my thigh.) I had to do this, please understand…” My mom replied in a higher tone: “You hurt us bad, Rebeca… (She tried to control her tone.) Let’s just drop it…” I hurt them?! What about me!? Wasn’t I the one that was being forced to deny my dreams and follow my mother’s choice!? I stood up from the table and announced: “Excuse me.” Harry looked at me, and he tried making me stay by his eye language; I shook my held slowly and left the table. I can’t stay here any longer. I need to breathe…

Notes
Well, that was not expected at all :O :/ Poor Rebeca, we understand her situation, right? Let's put ourselves in her shoes: If you had a dream of studying something, and then your parents keep fighting with you and giving a hard time in throwing your dreams away; wouldn't you do what Rebeca did? Keep in mind that one of the reasons that made her leave the US is because she is determined to follow her life goal in education and career choices. (Y) <3 I hope she cools down, Harry looked a worried and he tried comforting her by his touch :( <3 Let's see if she'll feel better :KEEP READING BEAUTIES! :D xx
