I got up at ten in the morning, not my usual waking hours. It was as exactly I heard footsteps running on the stairs, then there's a loud knock on my door.
I immediately opened it... It was my mom. She was panting, then she placed her hand on her chest.
"You ok
My life in the hospital was all about rest, medicines, and IV fluids. I’ve been here for two days and one night, I feel like I was just inside a box and suffocation is my best friend. I miss being in school and writing all those discussions on my cute pink notebook. I have talked with Stacey yesterday through a video call, and she said that she’ll visit me here any time soon. Of course, she’s the only one who knows where I am exactly. On the other hand, Lucas hasn’t stopped calling
It is already midnight when we got home. My mom was just sleeping the whole ride, while I try to be my usual self. I removed all my thoughts during my stay in the hospital and tried to be happy as much as possible.“Good night, mom.” I kissed her g
My eyes were shut closed waiting what will happen next. I jumped from my seat when their doorbell rang.I saw Lucas stood up and went to their main door.I gulped continuously. What was that? Those kinds of moments are the thing that I only witness in a book, and I couldn’t believe that it almost happened to me. My breathing was ragged and my heart is beating wildly. Stay still, heart, please! I heard voices of men, and realized that it was Matt, Lucas’ another visitor. Both of th
“Miss Grumpy.” Stacey suddenly speaks. “I’m just going to return something to Nurse Kelly, alright?” She said and as if her rounded eyes were talking to me, too.“Where am I supposed to go?” This is my chance to stalk away. Finally!“Go to the field already.” She instructed.“Okay.” I let out a small laugh then Stacey waved his hand good bye.“Lay!” I was about to walk away when she called me once more. “I will bombard your house for the next two weeks if y
I’ve wanted to tell it to Stacey, all of it. I know she got my back, always, but if telling this to her will risk the part where she will know about my ‘planned’ life, then it is better off this way.I am lost in my thought when someone hugged me and cover my eyes with his hand. I know it is a guy, and I know who it was because of his scent. His embrace was soft and comforting.“Stop crying. I am here.” Matt said soothingly. I don’t have the strength to push him, I just want to bury myself and cry until my tears were all gone.“I am here. You
I entered the campus while my eyes were stuck on my Biology notebook. Today is the start of exam week. There is a lot of pressure and a bunch of discussions that needed to be reviewed. This is very different compared from when I was just home-schooling.“Alayna!” It was Stacey. She was wearing her hair into a chignon pigtails, white top and of course her signature mini-skirt. I really don’t agree with Stacey losing some weight, she looked really really different. I mean, I don’t know why she insists to have a body like J.Lo… J.Lo is thick, while Stacey is making herself skinnier. I scrapped the thought and continued reading my
Friday came and I could totally say that my mind is stress-free right now. After taking our exam in Piano Skills I, I invited Matt to hang out with me in the fountain.“Where is Stacey?” Matt asked as he chews vigorously his corndog.“Oh, she is with Ethan, her crush, asking him to be her buddy?” I trailed off and looked at the blooming view in this garden. “Damn. We need more Stacey in this world.” I looked at Matt hesitantly.
“Alayna, a French boy is looking for you.” Karen called out while I was in my room. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time, pale as ever, but my wardrobe improved a little as Karen lend me some of her old dress. But I still prefer to wear a pair of chucks instead of that two inches high-heel she was suggesting.I went downstairs and found Matt comfortably sitting on our couch.“You are stunning.” Matt went to me then he took my hand.“Matt, take care of my daughter.” Karen emerged from the kitchen and she was eating a… is that a croissant? “And this croissant tastes
