Thirty: Taleen
 I have been back home for four days. My family isn’t giving me the chance to do anything. They’re giving me the complete luxury to relax and rest my exhausted body that screams in pain from the slightest effort I may exert. I’m either lying down on the bed or on the couch. I try to move my body from time to time by taking a thirty-minute walk around the block daily. I can’t just sit without doing anything; the doctor has also advised me to do that, so luckily, they don’t complain much when I say I’m going on a walk. However, somebody must accompany me in case my body decides to give up on me.           George came yesterday to see me. I still can’t believe he flew from Seattle just to see me. I’ve missed him. I haven’t seen him in so long. The day he came, I wanted to jump out of my place and run to hug him, but my body was in pain to do any quick movements.           I’m

Thirty-one: Taleen
I’m finally back to Portland. I returned two days ago and today I had an appointment with my doctor. She told me that it’s going to be a tough journey and I need to lay off stress as much as possible; this isn’t new, I have heard this before. What really irritates me is the fact that everybody keeps telling me that it’s going to be hard without even saying anything motivational. I’m being treated like I’m a fragile glass and I can notice their pity quite well. I hate this. I don’t need them to keep telling me it’s going to be hard or to treat me like I’m a delicate piece of art. I need them to motivate me, to tell me that I can do this.          I need support and encouragement, not pity. I don’t need them to tell me how hard it will be. I need them to tell me that they know I can get through this. Weakness and sickness aren’t for me. I’m not the one to give u

Thirty-two: Josh
I did it, I convinced her to come along with us. I can’t believe I managed to show up again at her room. I thought she’d kick me out once I set a foot inside, but she didn’t, just like she didn’t kick me out when I showed up with Owen and Lisa at her house. I need to be very careful with Taleen. I almost lost her twice and I want someone like her to be in my life.  The three of us walk inside my house where Owen already is; he has been waiting for us for over an hour. He

Thirty-three: Taleen
I officially hate everyone in Josh’s family except for Avery. How could they all be this heartless? Can’t they see the pain Josh is in? Can’t they see that he is struggling to survive through the day? I think Avery tells them, but I don’t think any of them cares. Even his mum, I can’t stand her without even meeting her. She should have fought for her son. She should have stood up for him. She should have made the others forgive him and give him another chance. I stayed the night with Josh last night. No, we didn’t sleep in the same bed. I slept in a separate room. I couldn’t sleep immediately though because I spent three hours thinking about Josh and what he has told me. His own brother betrayed him because he was s

Thirty-four: Taleen
“I’m going to miss you.” I wrap my arms around him as I stand on my tiptoes; Josh is much taller than me. I’m leaving today for my family’s place since tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I barely left Josh this week. We spent most of it together. He even drove me to work once and picked me up. Not once was I fed up with spending my time with him. On the contrary, I loved doing that; I truly enjoy his company. I’m falling deeper and deeper for him, but I’m trying to have any sort of control over my feelings.  He’s

Thirty-five: Josh
“She arrived,” I tell Owen as he drives. He has been driving for an hour and a half. We started moving right after Taleen left. Over the past week, I’ve grown a lot closer to her in a way I could only dream of. I’ve been truly blessed with her presence in my life. After everything I have done, I would have imagined her to completely block me out of her life, but I don’t know what exactly happened that made her see me in a different way. I guess miracles do happen.  She has spent almost the whole week with me, and I guess this has been t

Thirty-six: Taleen
“I’m telling you; this is my very first lecture in almost a week and I already need a seven-week-vacation,” Josh complains as the four of us sit together. We all returned to Portland last night. “How was your Thanksgiving by the way?” he wonders; the two of us are sitting beside one another.  “It was normal; however, I did buy a lot of stuff on Black Friday!” Lisa exclaims, making me laugh a little while Josh and Owen roll their eyes at her.  “

Thirty-seven: Josh
“It’s… it’s mum,” I inform Taleen. My voice is shaky, and I can’t seem to be able to divert my eyes away from the screen. My phone stops ringing, and I debate calling her, but she beats me to it as my screen flashes with her name again.  “Maybe it’s urgent… you should answer it,” Taleen speaks in a soft tone. I give her a small nod and slowly put the phone against my ear after I press on the green circle.

Thirty-eight: Taleen
I haven’t seen Josh since last Monday. Today is Thursday. I haven’t even seen him at college. Well, we don’t share the same building, so it’s expected. It turns out that his mum is here to stay for a few days. I haven’t seen her either since Monday. Something I’m glad for. This woman freaks me out. No, she isn’t bad, but she has so much faith in me and I am not sure if I’m worthy of her trust. I don’t want to let her down.I text him every day. He told me that he hasn’t been at his best. He didn’t sleep last night. I wanted to go to his place, but I didn’t want his mother to have any wrong thoughts. I don’t want her to think that I’m his girlfriend.I terribly want to see him. I think I may pass by after my lecture. I’ll just say hi. Nothing more. I have a shift, so maybe I can pass by before going there. I take my phone out of my bag and call him.Currently, I’m in m

Thirty-nine: Josh
She has just agreed to go on a date with me. The miracle has just happened, and I feel the need to pinch myself to be sure that I’m not dreaming. I can’t believe this! I’m not sure what made her agree, but I’m more than glad that she did. All that I’m hoping for now is that she didn’t agree to go on a date with me out of pity.“Why are you smiling like a goofball?” Mum’s voice snaps me out of the little celebration I’m holding in my head. “Does it have anything to do with Taleen?” she asks, sitting down on the recliner.“Actually, yes! It has everything to do with her,” excitedly, I say. “I asked her to go on a date with me and she said yes!” I fill her in.“I knew you liked her. It’s so obvious.” She smirks, causing me to let out a nervous short laugh.“Well… What’s not to like?” I tell her with a little shrug as I ta
