LOGINKehlani The doctor had finally let him go in to see her. I was sitting down at first but curiosity made me stand. I wanted to also see how she's doing but I sat back. Maybe I shouldn't interfere or something. As I waited, the doors opened and Trevor stepped out with Lydia beside him.My eyes immediately went to her.She was walking slowly with her hands pressed against her arm while Trevor supported her with his arm around her waist. He held a small hospital discharge bag on his other hand, along with a prescription packet the nurse had given him.I stood from my chair, worried. “How is she?”“She’s okay.” Trevor nodded. “Just bruised. The doctor said she needs to rest and take the medication as prescribed.”Lydia's eyes met mine. The way she stared at me, I could only see that eye that bullied me in the tub that day. Then she winced. “I’m still hurting.”Trevor immediately looked at her. “Where?”“My side. And my arm.”His expression tightened with concern. “The doctor said the pai
Kehlani The hospital doors swung open as the paramedics rushed Lydia inside. I followed behind Trevor, my heart was still pounding hard against my ribs. Everything happened just so quickly. One moment, we were fast approaching Trevor's home and the next unexpected thing was Lydia on the road. It was insane. She wasn't unconscious, but the sounds she made as the paramedics worked around her kept twisting something inside me.A low groan escaped her as they transferred her onto a hospital bed. “Easy.” one of them said. “Stay still.”Lydia winced, her fingers gripping the edge of the sheet.Trevor stayed beside her until a nurse stopped him. “Sir, you need to wait here. The doctor will examine her.”“But—”“We'll take care of her.”Trevor hesitated before finally stepping back. I watched as they wheeled Lydia through the double doors, then the doors closed. Trevor stood there for a second, staring at them. I could tell he was still trying to process what had happened and he was in abs
Kehlani “Yeah.” I lied. “Everything's okay.” I took a deep breath. Still thinking about the tub and Lydia. I rubbed my hands together. “If you have anything to say, say it now.” Charles stated.But tomorrow, we will be going back. So maybe it's not necessary and then Lydia would remain here. I didn't say a word but kept silent all through. The Next Day. “Oh, I'm going to miss you so much.” Mrs Casper hugged me so tight like she didn't want to let go. “Don't miss me too much, we'll see when I get back again.” I teased. She let go and I hugged Mr Casper. “Bye.”“You guys.” Trevor sighed. “Let her go already. I have something to do in the evening.”“Oh my hockey player.” Mrs Casper touched his cheek, smooching it. “I love you.”“I love you too mum, dad.”“Keep making us proud.” Mr Casper tapped his shoulder.We walked towards the car and they watched us drive away. I kept waving till I couldn't see the building again. Then we got to my house and we stepped down together and knocke
Kehlani I found Trevor talking to his parents. By the time the reception finally came to an end, my feet were begging for mercy. I was getting exhausted. I'd spent hours standing, smiling for pictures, congratulating my father and Leila. Then also talking to Mr and Mrs. Casper, and pretending my heels weren't slowly killing me. Mr Casper was so happy for my father. According to him, he thought dad gave up on love. The reception hall began to get empty. The tables that had been filled with guests were now scattered with half-finished glasses and plates. The music was still playing and people began saying their goodbyes.I watched my father hug one of his old friends near the entrance before turning toward Leila. She looked exhausted. Happy, but just tired. Everything felt new.Trevor appeared beside me, finally free from the swarm of relatives from his father's workplace who had been talking to him. “I Survived.” he muttered.I laughed. “I thought those people weren't letting y
Kehlani The group photos continued. It was fun. Each bridesmaid and her groom partner. When it was Trevor's and I turned, he held me possessively and we smiled for the camera. Then, I went with Dad and my mom, Leila. Trevor's parents too came along, then some friends I invited and relatives. It was all fun. “I think it's time we start going to the reception.” Trevor whispered into my ears. “Yeah.” I agreed, guests had started to walk away, the ceremony was clearing as everyone headed towards the lawn. I sat down instead of leaving. “Are you tired?” Trevor took the other space. As I looked around, the hall was empty. It was just the both of us. I smiled. “Just want to sit and relax before joining them for the cocktail.”“Sure.” He leaned his head back. “Jeez, I can't remember the last time I went to a wedding.”“Me too.” “Come on.” He stood up and pulled my hands making me stand. “Let's go.” He intertwined his hands into mine and we walked towards the reception hall. When we got
Kehlani I stared at myself in the mirror for what felt like the tenth time. Today was the wedding. My father's wedding. It was finally here. I smoothed my hands over the skirt of my bridesmaid dress, smiling so hard and watching the soft fabric fall neatly around my legs. The dress was elegant and shade chosen to complement Leila's wedding theme. My hair had been styled into loose waves, pinned slightly away from my face, and my makeup was soft and pretty.I turned sideways, checking myself out. "Okay.” I whispered, nodding. "I actually look good."A knock sounded at the door. Before I could answer, Trevor's voice came from the other side. "Are you ready?"I walked towards the door and opened it. He was looking sideways before he turned to me. His dark suit fitted him perfectly, white shirt and matching tie. His boutonniere was pinned neatly to his lapel, and his hair had been styled more carefully than usual. He looked annoyingly, strictly, undeniably good.His eyes widened when he
Kehlani “Get off of me. You punk!” I screamed, trying to break free but his body pressed down on mine was heavy, he started nuzzling me but I shut my eyes in sorrow, feeling his lips on my neck made me mad. I kicked him with my knees on his belly but nothing worked. “Help!” He-”He covered my mou
Kehlani I pushed him away and he fell lifelessly to the floor. This is stupid and insane. What the hell am I even doing? I thought, sighing heavily. I should go. I needed to. I buckled up my bra, slipping my hoodie through my head. I grabbed my phone and jumped off the bed. Elliot is just on the f
Kehlani I screamed and the door opened with Olive laughing so hard. My chest slumped and I froze. “Olive?”She clutched her chest, wheezing. “You should have seen your face.” She breathed out and I pushed her away, straight to the living room, making her fall on the bed and play fighting with her.
Kehlani The doctor walked in to check on me. We weren't caught and Trevor just played it cool, sitting back on the chair. As the doctor inspected my body, regret started to flood. I shouldn't have told Trevor to do that. I shouldn't have kissed him too. I tried all means to avoid his stare. Shut m
