Godfather Wants Me Chapter 28
KimberlyGetting too used to waking up in the hospital, with the blinding lights, I mentally prepared my eyes for the hash white lights in the hospital as I opened my eyes.I tried moving my arms, but I found I couldn't, I took a look at my arms and saw it was wrapped in casts and there were bandages on my chest.I felt warmth on my hand, gradually I turned my head slowly because of the pain it was causing me.Ethan, he was holding my hands while he slept. I wiggled my left hand and Ethan immediately woke up .Immediately his eyes met mine. Tears filled my eyes.He stood up so fast, almost knocking down the chair on his way up."Kimberly" he sighed, his eyes closed, taking in a deep breath you're awake.”I was resting the next day when Vanessa dramatically entered the room sobbing like it was my funeral she was attending instead of a hospital visit, what a drama queen.“Ohhhhhhh Kimberly, my baby.” the drama continued, placing her hand on her chest and her mouth like she was holding a

Kimberly:After one week of being in the hospital and eating very bland and horrible food, I was discharged today.I wasn't able to walk well, so Ethan insisted I use a wheelchair so I don't stress my legs.As we got to the car he picked me up from the wheelchair and placed me gently in the car."Thank you" I mouthed and he nodded.Our conversation has been estranged ever since I told him I wanted to leave, three days ago.He just cut me off and said I couldn’t be serious and then he walked out on me.Like I was some naughty child he couldn't deal with. I had missed my exams and I wasn't even planning on staying in school to rewrite it.Just I wanted to leave this place as soon as I could but my godfather wasn't having it.The drive to the house was calm, soothing music fell from the speaker and I looked out the window. “Ethan?” I called, still looking out of the window. “I need to leave New York!”"Kimberly Can we not have this discussion now? I'm driving."His reply was fast, he kn

EthanDeep down I know she was right, I had to let her go and let her grow up but I tried hard to convince her to stay.But after three days of ignoring the truth I knew I had to speak to her. Walking upstairs to her room, I knocked on her door and heard a faint"come in..." Pushing the door open, I saw her writing in her diary."Kimberly we need to speak," I stated."Oh godfather..." she muttered and looked up."I had sent for snacks, I thought it was the maid."I watched her intently without saying another word."If you're here to convince me to stay or change my mind, you might as well go back, cause I'm not ready to listen to you belittle my wish." With creased brows, she explained."No no Kim that's not it," I said waving her to stop as I took a sit at the edge of her bed."I'm sorry if you felt like I've been against you, I just want what's best for you. I thought I could keep you safe here with me, I got occupied with my work lately." "I almost got you killed–" she wanted to sp

Kimberly: Sitting on my bed, mindlessly scrolling through TikTok, trying to drown out the events of the past week, it has been like a TV drama, where I'm The unlucky one.The door swung open with a sudden bang, and before I could react, Vanessa burst into my room, almost giving me a heart attack."Kimberly! Girl, Oh my goodness, you won't believe what just happened!""What the hell Vanessa, can't you knock like a normal person?"My heart jumped, and I almost dropped my phone, to my surprise. Vanessa's excited voice filled the room, she does this every time, she is too dramatic, and I laughed. "Vanessa, what's going on? You scared me!"“Oh my goodness, Sorry, sorry, but you have to see this! Our prom clothes are here, and they're arriving in just 30 minutes!Shock washed over me, with everything going on I had forgotten about prom and my dress."Wait, what? Already? But I thought. I mean, I didn't expect them to arrive so soon." "Already? I hadn't expected them to arrive so soon.""

Kimberly: The alarm clock screeched. My eyes flew open, but before I could even register the blaring noise, Vanessa's face was an inch away from mine, eyes wide and mouth agape."Kimmy Wake up! It's prom day! IT'S HAPPENING!"I groaned, swatting at her screaming face. "Ugh, Vanessa, your breath smells like last night's pizza."She pulled back, mock gasping. "Hey! How dare you disrespect the queen's morning breath?"Then, we both started screaming at the same time, a mixture of excitement and disbelief. We made it! Four years at high school survived, and tomorrow night, we're dancing the night away at prom.Our prom sleepover yesterday was officially out of control but in the best way possible.We all danced like fools to our high school playlist, reliving embarrassing moments and laughing until our sides ached.We watched "The Notebook" and cried together about Noah and Allies' love.Fueled by a sugar rush of candy and pizza, Vanessa screamed out "How Far I'll Go" for the third time
Godfather Wants Me Chapter 33
Kimberly:As Vanessa and I walked down the stairs, with the echo of our heels clicking in unison. Ethan was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, his face holding a tight smile, he held out a bouquet of lilies. Their pearly white petals shimmer under the chandelier's glow."For the two most stunning ladies in the house," he said, his voice warm. A blush stained my cheeks as I accepted my flowers."Thank you, godfather"."You're looking gorgeous Vanessa.” He complimented. "Thank you, Mr Wright""Ethan, Vanessa I've told you, you can call me Ethan. You are family." as he spoke, his eyes met mine, and time seemed to slow, the air thickening with tension. His little smile faltered, his lips parting slightly in surprise, his eyes widened, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his features before he quickly masked it with a cough."Uh, right," he cleared his throat, his voice slightly hoarse. "Your dates are, uh, downstairs.”We let out small giggles as he gave a mocking bow.As we w

Kimberly: Suddenly Ethan pulled away from me and I turned to meet Vanessa staring at me. "Kimberly?” She called my name again and I shifted. "You and Ethan? Your godfather?” She looked so surprised.“I can explain, Nessa.”"I thought We're friends?" Her voice came in whispers."Vanessa, I was going to tell you,"I tried to reach out to her. "Don't touch me" she flinched away from my touch."I tell you everything, I even told you about Leo but you don't. I feel so stupid, right now.""You think I was going to take him from you or what?"She scoffed, "I can't believe this." Before I could even utter a word, she stormed off and I ran after her.“Don't follow me Kimberly, leave me alone, you've ruined my prom, I hope you're happy.”Ethan stood hands in his pocket, like all this drama didn't just happen and like it meant nothing to me. "I think we should go home now, Kimberly."“But Vanessa?”Don't worry about Vanessa," he murmured, his voice low and soothing. "She'll cool down."The

Vanessa: I sat alone in my room, tears streaming down my cheeks,I couldn't believe Kimberly would hide things from me, the feeling of betrayal that consumed me, never before had I felt so utterly abandoned, so completely deceived by someone I had thought I could trust.My mother's concerned voice drifted in from the hallway."Vanessa darling what's the problem? You've been sulking since yesterday, Is it a boy problem, you know you can talk to me baby?" I ignored her plea for an explanation. How could I possibly begin to explain that my best friend since forever is hiding things from me, like I am a nobody. Just as I was about to get up from the bed, my phone rang, the familiar tone of Kimberly's ringtone piercing through the silence. With a sigh, I picked up the phone, fully intending to give her a piece of my mind.But as soon as I put the phone to my ears, I heard Kimberly's tearful voice on the other end of the line. I immediately forgot about the grudge I had with her."Kim?" I
