Chapter 42
The next morning passed as usually. We got up, had breakfast and went to the park. This time Raf was also there. I wondered, what he was thinking about me not answering him.
Flashbacks:“I don’t want to,” he whispered, still looking into my eyes.“What?” I asked.
“To have you out of my life anymore,” he continued whispering.
I didn’t answer, because I didn’t want to promise anything.
When we met in the park, he looked tired.“Hey!” he turned to me.
“Hey,” I answered.
Linc and Raf started talking and I was following them silently.
“Do you have a cigarette?” Linc asked Raf.
“Yeah, but I can’t give you it now! Grandma doesn’t allow me to smoke near her. She believes, that I don’t smoke at all,” Raf whispered.<

I started leaning down to the surface of the water to row by my hands to the right way. But suddenly I fell down into the water.“Ohh!” I screamed.“Peanut!” I heard him screaming.Then I heard the splash of the water and saw him swimming to me. I could have swum by myself, but I panicked and froze. He grabbed my waist and we started swimming up to the surface.“Thank you!” I panted. We approached the canoe and sat in it. “Okay! Let’s continue the way.”He resumed rowing.“How is your family?” I asked, when I suddenly remembered that day, when I got to know them.“Good, James went to his grandma and others are in Spain,” he told.“Why did’t you go with them?” I asked bewildered.“Because I hate that place.”“Why?”“A lot of bad memories surround me, when I

“Raf?” I said. He turned to me and nodded. “Are these kids Linc, you and I?” I continued. He stood up and so did Linc. They approached me and looked at the photo. “Yes!” Raf affirmed. My eyes widened. “Linc, did you know that Raf has been your best friend since childhood?” I asked Linc. “Of course! Well, I did forget about him, but then I was thinking about it and remembered him. How do you think we have become friends?” Linc said. “But why don’t I remember anything?” I asked. “Because you didn’t know his real name, you called him Batman. Remember?” Linc started laughing. “You are the Batman?” I asked flabbergasted. They started laughing. “When someone called him Raf, you didn’t understand who it was. Don’t you remember, how his family visited us frequently? And we paid them a visit too.” “Damn, my life won’t be the same anymore!,” I stated and put my palm on my forehead. They laughed

In the next morning, I woke up a bit earlier than granny. I decided to make breakfast and make some coffee and tea for her and Linc. I put on a robe and went to the kitchen. I started making toasts and frying eggs and bacon. It smelled amazing. At six A.M. granny went downstairs and came to me.“Kylie? What are you doing here so early?” she asked me, as she kissed my forehead.“Just wanted to make breakfast for you, guys!” I replied and kissed her too.“It smells so delicious!” grandma breathed in the wafted smell of soicy meat and eggs.“I will wake Lincoln up! You can sit at the table and wait for us! Don’t do anything!” I pointed a finger on her and she laughed.I ran upstairs and started yelling:“Lincoln!” Wake up! I am giving you a minute! If you don’t wake up, I will pour cold water on you!”I started knocking on hi

“Do you know each other?” Linc asked.“Yes! We are-“ Ashley started, but Raf interrupted:“Are we going, or what?”“Yes, let’s go!” Agatha stated and we started walking around the park.Ashley ran to Raf and asked him:“How are you doing? We haven’t talked since forever!”“Yeah, and what?” Raf asked.“Wait! Can you tell me, how the hell do you know each other?” Linc stated annoyed. “As far as I remember, Raf wasn’t in Wrightwood, when Ashley and Bella were here.”“Yes, but 2 years ago, you weren’t here,” Ashley turned to Linc.“You were in USA 2 years ago?” Linc turned to Raf and inquired bewildered.“Yes, I haven’t told you about it. But I was,” Raf replied remaining calm.Why haven’t you told me about it? For God&rsq

“Where is the festival?” I asked, when we were already far from the park.“It’s in the center of the city!” Raf stated and I fell silent again.Linc, Bella and I were walking together, while Ashley and Raf were going with their hands intertwined. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot. When we were already there, I noticed a lot of people. There were attractions and stalls with toys.Everything was decorated with orange, red and green colours. Exactly like the autumn. The time passed so quickly. It was already the end of the autumn and soon we had to go back to LA and back to school. Everything was so beautiful, that it made me smile. This atmosphere in this place, with a soft wind and with my friends by my side made my mood rise.“Look! The Ferris wheel! I’m definitely gonna try it,” I stated.“But it‘s scary!” Ashley said and pulled Raf closer to h

It was morning. You wonder, what happened that night, after Raf had left me near the house? Well, I came into the house and there was still no one except for grandma and Agatha.“What happened? Where are others?” grandma asked, when she looked at me.“They are still at the festival, I guess,” I frowned.“Why did you come home so early?” Agatha asked.“I didn’t feel well. I am tired a little bit,” I answered after a little pause.They were still telling me something, but I didn’t listen to them. I went upstairs and wondered why Raf had stormed off. I didn’t wait for them to come home, because I fell asleep as soon as I lay my head on the pillow.When I woke up, I yawned and rubbed my eyes. What happened yesterday was still like a foggy morning. I just hoped that Linc would tell me. So I got up and quickly went to his room. He was sleeping, as usual. I sat on the edge

“Thank you,” he stated.“For what?”“For sticking with me during such hard time.”“You don’t need to thank me.” I smiled.“You should know that no matter what, I will be there for you. Always.”He smiled genuinely. “Here you go!” Linc gave us our cups of coffees.“Thanks, man,” Raf stated and started drinking. We were there in silence, until doctor came and stated:“Mr. King, you don’t have to worry anymore! Your granny is alright for now. But she doesn’t have to worry anymore! That’s the reason of her fainting! In the evening she can be discharged!”“Thank you very much, doctor,” he stated and came back to us. “God! I feel so relieved!” He sat near us again.“See! I told you!” I affirmed.He nodded and smiled. &l

When I came home, I didn’t say anything and went straight to bed. In the morning, I woke up at six A.M. and decided not to go for a walk. I didn’t want to meet him, nor I wanted to meet Ashley and grandma. But as usually, grandma started waking everyone up. I heard everyone coming out of the rooms. But I kept laying on my bed. Then I heard grandma coming in to my room and screaming:“Kylie! Wake up!”But I turned away to another side and closed my eyes.“Are you sick, dear?” she asked, worried.“I am not going for a walk,” I stated calmly, not opening my eyes.“Why?”“Because I don’t want to walk with a woman who doesn’t believe me,” I answered quietly.“Kylie! Why are you so stubborn? You are not giving Ashley even a chance to show her kind side!”“I gave her a chance, but she made it clear, that she was beha
