So you are an exchange student right, who are you living with?" Kate questions me. It's lunch now, and we are all sitting at our usual table.
Shoot, not the question I was expecting. What do I do, what do I do?
"Um.. uh.. so the thing is...you see.."
"Hey, guys, whatcha doing?" Noah interrupts.
I have never been more happier for the interruption. I could kiss you right now, Noah.
"Oh, we were just simply asking Kiara who she is living with." Ava tells Noah.
"Well, forget that. Do you know what happened in English class today?" Noah asks them.
I roll my eyes at him. Let's just say that our class was interesting due to the class clown that is Noah.
"Don't tell me you did one of your famous pranks on the teacher, and you cancelled English class." Ava says with fake enthusiasm while waving her hands.
"Uh, how did you know? Are you stalking me? ohhhh don't tell me that Kiara is actually a spy working for you. Do you

Five years later. Here lies beloved An- "Kiara," I hear my brother's voice. He comes to me and pulls me into a side hug. "He is still alive, Kiara, here." He says, motioning to his heart. It's been five years since that dreadful day. Keith said his last goodbye and left me alone in this world. The doctors were able to keep his heart alive and performed Andrew's surgery. His heart did fail during the surgery, and they replaced Andrew's heart with Keith’s. Here Lies Beloved And Loved Keith Tennyson January 6, 1998- June 15, 2019. He is buried near my parent's graves. He will be at peace with them in heaven now. After the heart monitor went flat. I was frozen in place. Somebody dragged me outside the room while the doctors tried to bring him back to life. He lost a lot of blood, and his brain took a lot of damage. I didn't cry.
Trigger for abuse"What happened?" I ask, trying to act rationally. Ryder suddenly comes and hugs me. I sit down on the chair and take him in my lap, and he is sobbing and sniffling."What happened, buddy?" I stroke his hair, trying to calm him down."A...Andrew w..ent downstairs to.. to make some popc..corn for me and.. I.. and.. I.. suddenly heard a loud noise from the kitchen..I.. I ran downstairs and found him unconscious with a broken bowl near his feet," Ryder informs me, his voice breaking.I try to calm him down while Raven takes care of things with Andrew. Ten minutes later, Raven comes with a water bottle."What happened?""He is awake, and the doctors took him to take a CT scan. He told the doctor that he had chest pains. He also told him about what happened during prom. The doctors will inform us what is wrong with him after taking a look at his scan results," I simply nod. This day has really taken a toll on my mental and physic
"- got into a serious accident, and is admitted to the hospital," my heart stops for a moment, and I drop the phone. Raven rushes towards me, and she picks the phone and answers it."Yes, we will be there as soon as possible,""Come on, Kiara. Everything is going to be fine," she assures, pulling me into a hug. My mind is blank, and my heart is numb. I can't cry.Everything that happened after that is a blur. I remember Raven, Reed, and I drove towards the hospital. Reed had me on his lap, and he was mumbling reassuring words to me."He is currently in the ICU, and the doctors are trying their best. We will know about his condition after the surgery,""How?" I question the nurse."A truck went out of control and came at full speed and hit the passenger side. The driver only sustained a few injuries and nothing major,"Three times I had to hear about people close to me getting into an accident. Finally, the tears start falling. I start
"That is amazing, Reed,” Blake breaks the silence.“Yeah, you will have our full support if that is what you want,” Raven informs, hugging her son."Those love birds need to talk, so come on, everyone," Raven leaves the room, pulling all the others along with her. Keith points his fingers towards Reed to make sure that we know that he is watching us. I roll my eyes."Are you mad, Kiara?" Reed asks me once everyone leaves."No, I am not mad. Not mad. Not mad at all, Nuh-uh. You don't think I am mad, do you? Because I am not. Don't think that I am mad,""So, I will take it that you are mad," Reed concludes."No. Not mad at you. Just at our fates," I sigh and sit down on the couch. He sits beside me and pulls me into a side hug. I lay my head on his chest."If you don't want me to go, I won't sparkle," he tells me, stroking my hair."This is your life, Reed. Don't think about me. Do what you want to. I will accep
“Kia, come on, honey, we are going to be late,” I hear Raven’s voice outside my bedroom.“Coming,” I shout, applying some finishing touches to my outfit. I grab my graduation cap and gown and rush outside.“You look lovely,” Raven compliments my outfit. I am wearing a light blue dress with flower decorations, and I braided my hair into two french braids.I thank her and take a seat beside Keith. He frowns. I raise my eyebrows in a questioning manner."Here, your dress is missing this," he says and pins a brooch."This is moms favourite brooch," I say, trying not to cry."Yeah, I figured you might need it for your special day," he smiles. I hug him and admire the brooch."Everyone here? I need answers from four boys and a girl," Blake shouts from the driver's seat."Here," we all shout, laughing.We soon reach school, and Reed, Andrew and I head towards our assigned seats. We meet
"What the hell are you guys doing here?""What? we are her best friends, so obviously, we will be here to wish her when she becomes an adult,""Mom, it was a big mistake to give them the keys,""Hey, that was rude,""No one asked you,""I wanted it to be only the two of us,""Just because you guys are dating doesn't mean you get special privileges,""Of course I do,""She will choose us over you any day,""You wanna bet?""The loser has to be the winner's slave for a whole day,""SHHHHHHHHHHH, she is waking up,"I cover my ears with my pillow to stop the whispers."Sparkle, wake up," someone whispers near my ear. I throw a pillow at that person to stop the voices."Oof, I forgot she is grumpy w
