I stole a glance at my mother, locked my hands in hers and then pulled her off with me with a bright smk that I hoped would at least help in calming her down. I hated to see her in that mood but I couldn't help it. I was no better myself. I only had to be brave for them. "Alright babe… please don't be long.. " she said to my father as I pulled her off with me. She went on, dragging her feet like she was being controlled by some unseen forces. There were other benches on the hallway so I helped her sit in one of those While father went on with his talk with the doctor. I couldn't imagine why such a sad thing had to happen that day. This wasn't the first time he would be falling from his bed but nothing of the sort had ever happened. Various thoughts raced through my head and only one of them seemed to make the best sense. "Why was it on the day that Agnes paid a visit to our house that such an evil occurrence had to happen?" I wondered aloud and no longer could I get it out of my h
I was in a trance just like usual and it was dark all Over. I tried to find my way through the dark but it just wasn't working. I couldn't help it one bit and all effort by me to get out of the Trance proved abortive. I was sweating profusely with bated breath. "Hello! Who's here?" I asked in a loud voice that echoed through the air and sent shivers down my spine. I was startled beyond reasonable doubt. There was no one to respond to me and neither Could I see anyone in sight. I was desolate and could bear it no more. On one hand were my parents who were going through one of the worst times in their lives and on the other hand was my brother who was fighting hard for his life in the hospital and now I waa stuck in this goodness knows where. "Hello! Someone help me! Who's here?" 8 asked in a loud voice. This time, I didn't give a damn about the shivers that were rushing through me at the very moment. All I cared about was getting my ass out of there no matter what happens. I couldn't
I was startled because I couldn't understand why my brother would risk the chance of coming back to the hospital when he has fully recovered from Whatever ailed him. I began to shiver and you couldn't blame me so much if I was feeling so worried and perturbed I had gone through within the last few days. I didn't want anything happening to any of my loved ones, not now or again. "What do you mean by him risking coming back to the hospital?" I fired hard at her with my hands clasped to my side. My mother placed her hand on me in a way to tell me to calm down but I wasn't ready to be calm. I wanted to be sure of what she was talking about and not make unnecessary assumptions on my part."Well… if we allow him to be discharged when he's not fully recovered, then we risk the chance of full recovery for him. We must allow him to remain here for a few more hours for us to examine him…" the doctor explained with a bright smile laced to her brows and that helped calm me. Mother gave me that s
That couldn't be possible. There was no way the doctor could be working with them. It's just my thoughts… "Come on! You shouldn't think this way all the time…" I chided myself as I got rolled continuously on the bed like one who had just been beaten to a stupor. I laughed. Why I laughed, I had no idea. Perhaps, it was the thought of what I was going to do that morning at school that made me all excited. My mind drifted to Jordan and I couldn't help but blush. I knew I was starting to like him and all but I couldn't do anything about it. He was one of the nicest person I've ever met and up till this very moment, I was yet to understand why I was so cold to him in my last life. Perhaps I had been blinded by those who I surrounded myself with and those who claim to be my friend. I knew better now and it was much clearer. The clock struck six and that was when I got up to prepare for school. It was all nice and beautiful. The water against my skin made it tingle and sent goosebumps down
Chapter 22ReginaThe next day at school was just the same with me avoiding Angie even though her behavior in recent times has been shitty. I couldn't believe that in my past life, I had been friends with her. She was a hater and all shades of scary. I didn't know why i hadn't seen all of this in her in my past life but i realized that the reason why i didn't see it was due to the fact that i was just like her. It took two to tango and I did not see it because I was just like her.Another person I was avoiding was Jason. After the kiss we had, things have been a bit awkward between us and I hated it. Even up until now, I didn't know why I hadn't seen the good in Jason. He was everything I ever needed, his care, love and compassion was something I never found in Dean.''Was i this blind?''I walked into the school's hallway, not minding some of the people who stared at me like I had suddenly grown two heads. I knew they were all surprised, surprised at the fact that i had somewhat chan
Chapter 23JasonEverything that I felt for Regina came rushing back. She became the only thing I could think about and I desired her more than anything. My relationship with Angie became strained and she blamed everything on Regina, constantly snapping and giving her mean looks when she thought no one was looking. I knew that even if people were looking, she wouldn't give a damn about it because that was just who Angie was. She was vile and evil with nothing good about her. ''So you're really shacking up with Regina now right?'' she asked.I was heading to the cafeteria for lunch when she waylaid me on the way. What I had done, the choices I had made when it came to this was the boldest thing I had ever done in my life and for the first time in a long while, I was feeling good about it. I never liked Angie and the only reason why I had even dated her was due to the fact that I wanted to make Regina jealous. But now that she liked me and I had seen it in her eyes, Angie could go to h
Chapter 24ReginaI felt closer to Jason than I ever was. There was this understanding he had of me that no one else had. His resilience to get closer to me was something that ought to be happy and for the first time since I discovered that I had been reborn, I was happy. There was this sense of peace in me and even when the thought of my revenge came, I knew I was going to do it.It was now the close of school and I needed to get back home if I didn't want to get home late. My mom would freak out if i came back even a minute after the time i usually get back home, i just knew it. As I walked through the hallways, I saw Jason again but I didn't want to talk to him. My emotions were still all over the place and until I got a sense of what was happening, I needed to be careful.''Hey, how are you?'' he called out.I cringed, looking at the whole area and yet again, I was glad that no one was around me. It would even make it worse than how it already was. ''I'm okay. Sorry, i have to ru
Chapter 25ReginaWe walked back to my car, taking seats at the back seat of the car with the doors open for cross ventilation. What I had to tell Jason was something that had been going on within my family for a while now but it still wasn't confirmed and if it was, it would cause a lot of damage to my family.''You can trust me Regina?'' he smiled, cupping my cheek.I felt safe and secure in his hands and I knew that I could bare my whole heart to him without fear of getting rebuked, unlike what I faced in Dean's hands.''I don't know but there are underground reports that my father has been indicted for fraud and I'm scared Jason because something like this has never happened before. I don't know why this is happening.'' I croaked.My emotions were all over the place and I was quite glad that he provided an outlet for me to just pour it all out. It was the best gift anyone could give me and I would never take it for granted. I needed him
