Rhona sat up so fast that she almost knocked Adrian off the bed.

"What's wrong?" he asked, already reaching for her hand.

She didn't answer immediately. She was already calling her mom's number, her panicking and her hands shaking.

Her mom picked up the third time, "Baby, thank God. Are you coming?where are you?".

"I'm at a friend's place. What happened? Is he okay?"

"It was a car accident. He was driving back from his friend's house and someone hit him at an intersection. The police said he wa

  • The love I'd promised myself to find    The wait

    Adrian didn't hear from Rhona all day on sunday.He'd sent five texts in the afternoon. Not desperate ones, just checking in on her and how her family's doing. *How's your brother?* *Everything okay?* *Let me know if you need anything.* The usual things you say when someone's dealing with a crisis.By evening, he stopped texting because he got no reply.Ken found him in their apartment, sitting on the couch staring at his phone like he'd been waiting for something."Dude, you look like you're about to die from staring at that phone," Ken said, dropping his bag by the door. "What's going on with you?""Nothing. I'm fine.""You're clearly not fine. Did something happen to the girl?"Adrian didn't answer, which was answer enough."Oh man," Ken said, sitting down next to him. "What happened?""Her brother got in a car accident. She had to go to the hospital, and now she's not answering my texts at all.""Maybe she's just dealing with her family stuff and can't think about anything else ri

    Rhona sat up so fast that she almost knocked Adrian off the bed."What's wrong?" he asked, already reaching for her hand.She didn't answer immediately. She was already calling her mom's number, her panicking and her hands shaking.Her mom picked up the third time, "Baby, thank God. Are you coming?where are you?"."I'm at a friend's place. What happened? Is he okay?""It was a car accident. He was driving back from his friend's house and someone hit him at an intersection. The police said he was conscious when they got to him, but he's got a broken arm and the doctors are still running tests to make sure there's no internal bleeding or anything.""Which hospital?""Jamaica Hospital. Rhona, I'm here with your other siblings, but I need you to come. I need you here.""Okay,Okay, I'm coming right now."She hung up and started grabbing her clothes, putting them on fast, not caring about the order."What happened?" Adrian asked, sitting up. He looked confused, like the moment had been inte

  • The love I'd promised myself to find    An intensed Night after an explanation

    They met at a coffee shop near campus, somewhere calm that wasn't the library or school grounds. It was a Saturday afternoon, and Rhona had spent the morning changing her outfit three times before settling on something that looked casual but also like she'd put thought into it.She told herself it was just because she wanted to look normal. Not because she was meeting Adrian,He was already there when she arrived, sitting at a corner table with two cups of iced americano. He looked tired, like he hadn't slept much. When he saw her, he stood up, and she realized she'd forgotten how tall he actually was."Hey," he said. "Thanks for coming.""Yeah."She sat across from him, and there was this awkward moment where neither of them knew where to start."I got you iced coffee," he said, pushing one of the cups toward her. "I wasn't sure how you take it, so I just got it with extra ice and a little sugar. If that's wrong, we can—""It's fine," she said, interrupting him. "Thank you."He nodde

  • The love I'd promised myself to find    Interrupted.

    Rhona ignored Adrian's text for two days, she kept wondering why she ignored them or why she was angry because she doesn't have the right to get angry.Hey, you disappeared. You good?That's all it said. Simple, Casual. Like he hadn't just been in the library kissing someone who looked like they belonged in a magazine.She didn't respond because she didn't know how to respond. What was she supposed to say? "Yeah, I'm great, just watched you kiss your girlfriend right after asking for my number, so that's cool"?She couldn't do that. So she just didn't do anything.Priya noticed immediately, of course."You're being weird," Priya said on Friday morning, while they were getting ready for class."I'm not being weird.""You've checked your phone like thirty times since we woke up. That's weird."Rhona didn't argue because Priya was right. She was checking for texts from Adrian even though she'd decided not to respond to the one he'd already sent."Did something happen in the library that

  • The love I'd promised myself to find    The library

    Rhona spent two days working up the courage to do what Priya had suggested.Two days of sitting in Contracts, thinking about how to make it not obvious that she was looking for a reason to talk to him. Two days of Priya texting her things like "just ask him already" and "you're overthinking this" and "he literally answered your last question, he's not going to bite."By Wednesday afternoon, she'd decided that if she didn't do it today, she wasn't going to do it at all. And she was tired of not doing it.She found him in the library around 3 PM, sitting at one of the study tables with his laptop open and a stack of case files beside him. He looked focused, in his own world, the kind of concentration that made her think about interrupting him feel like a big deal.She walked over anyway."Hey," she said, and then immediately felt stupid because "hey" was the laziest way to start a conversation.He looked up, and something in his expression shifted when he realized it was her. Not a bad

  • The love I'd promised myself to find    After

    The conversation about case law shouldn't have stuck with Rhona the way it did.It was just a question, a clarification, the kind of thing any classmate could have answered. But the way he'd explained it — like he actually gave a shit about whether she understood it or not — had stayed in her head throughout the rest of the dayShe found herself replaying it in her head while walking back to her room, which she knew was stupid. He was just a guy who answered a question. That was it."You're doing that thing again madam rhona," Priya said the second Rhona walked in. She sat comfortably on her bed ,with her laptop open in front of her, probably procrastinating on readings she had due tomorrow."What thing?" Rhona replied"The thinking thing. The one where you look like you're mad at something but you're actually just confused.""I'm not confused.""Okay, so you're mad."Rhona dropped her bag by her bed and didn't answer, which was apparently answer enough because Priya closed her laptop
