I tried to call him again. He didn’t answer. I had no other option, I was obliged to go. I wore a pair of jeans and a plain T-shirt which I found the first in my wardrobe. When I was done, I quickly went downstairs. There was no one. Everyone had been sleeping, so I went out of the house, took my bike and started riding to the Steven’s house.
While riding I started thinking about how everything has changed. Nothing was like it had been before. First, Jeremy, then Mia. Who would be next? It felt like that year was about to teach us a thing or two about the real life. Personally, I understood, that a person could lose oneself and turn into an immoral one while being under someone’s or something’s influence. The reason was forgetting about our values and fall into the trap of the apathy and be brought under the auspices of the wounds. That’s why they find the aid in the panacea which would turn off every deep feeling – drugs. They really“What? Me and you?” I asked bewildered.“No, me and Linc,” he stated sarcastically.I laughed and answered:“Well, I’m gonna give you a chance!”He smiled and kissed my cheek.“We are not in public!” I said.“But you are in my heart!” he stated and smirked.“Right!” I rolled my eyes.“I will come at 7!” he added and I went out of the car. “Bye, love!”“Bye, jerk!” I said, not turning to him. I came into the house and saw Linc, sitting at the couch and playing games.“Hey, Linc!” I exclaimed.It was 7 A.M.“Why aren’t you sleeping? It’s so early!” I asked him confused.“Hey, sis! You woke everyone up!” he stated, watching at the game. “How is Mia?”“She is better.
That day’s morning was probably one of the rarest ones, because nobody called me early in the morning, letting me know that they got in trouble.I woke up at six A.M. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and had a shower. Then, I went to my wardrobe to choose, what to wear. I wanted, as usual, wear the first things I found in my bedroom, but I thought about it again and decided to wear something unusual. I can say, that I found some benefits of dating with Steven Kirby. He made me understand who was Raf King and also he gave me more confidence in myself. I started feeling desired in this life and I was ready to slay!I chose to wear a black shirt and denim jacket, also denim jeans. It was the only outfit I could make because of the lack of the clothes. I decided to go shopping that day after school. When I finished getting ready, I went downstairs and saw Linc and dad making breakfast.“Good morning, everybody!” I screamed hap
“Raf, calm down!” Dylan stated.“No! What the hell is he doing here?” Raf screamed with clenched teeth.“He is sitting with us, if you are blind and can’t see the obvious!” I quipped and got up.“Walker, take your boyfriend and get out, or I don’t know what I will do with this place, or with his face!”“He is staying here with me. No one is against it, if you are, then nobody is keeping you!” I stated and pointed at the other table.He looked into my eyes. Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and took me outside the cafeteria.“Take your hands off of me!” I screamed, but he didn’t stop. When we were outside the cafeteria, he started:“Listen! I don’t want to hurt you physically, but I won’t hesitate to hurt you mentally. Because I am this type of person! So-“ I interrupted him and asked:
That was the moment, when I understood that this whole time, I had been helping Raffael King’s sister. Mrs. King ran to the entrance, screaming:“Where is she?!”When she stopped near the doors, she saw me and Alexa. She quickly pulled her to herself and hugged her. She was shaking from fear.“Mom, I’m okay! Kylie helped me find you!” Alexa stated with a smile.Mrs. King looked at me, supposing that I was that Kylie.“Come in, please!” she invited me, pulling Alexa aside and taking her hand.I came in.She led me to the living room and offered me to sit down on the couch.“Would you like a cup of coffee or cup of tea, or anything you want!” she asked me.I wanted to refuse and I started shaking my head and hands, but she interrupted me and avered:“We owe you! I would like you to sit with me, drink anything yo
“James! Come in!” Mrs. King exclaimed.James? He came into the living room and looked at me. It was a dark-haired, tall, green-eyed boy. He looked so familiar, at first. Then I recalled that night when Raf and I went to some house and there was that boy, beaten up. Though, he looked arresting.“Hey!” he stated, after some time staring at me.“Hey!”“James!” he stretched out his hand.“Kylie!” I shook his hand.Though Alexa was sitting near me, James came to us, pushed her a little and sat between us, looking at me. I smiled awkwardly and looked back at Mrs. King. “Kylie saved me from having a heart attack!” Mrs. King stated and laughed.“What?” James asked bewildered. I laughed too.“I’m kidding! But I could have had it, if Kylie hadn’t been there to help her. Alexa ran away from home to find me, e
The next day started as usually. I didn’t have any new clothes, as a result of my new acquaintances with the Kings. Lincoln and I went to school. And I was with Steven all the time, while Linc, Raf, Dylan and Jeremy were staring at us, talking and speculating about why all of it had started. Even though, Lincoln knew everything, I was sure that he wouldn’t disclose me. Most of my lessons were with Raf, so I had to see him a lot. I had to catch his glances on me, hear whispers mentioning my name and just feel the tension. During the lunch nothing happened. I decided to prevent any altercation from happening, sidestepping the drama, so I sat with Steven, far from my friends. It was difficult to stay away from them, but I had to. Mia still wasn’t at school. When I called her she told me that she would come soon. Well, she couldn’t definitely stay in hospital when the Halloween party was about to be in full swing. After the les
“Kylie, I’m going too! I will give you a lift!” he exclaimed.“No, Raffael! Thank you! But I have to go to the animal shelter.”“Really? Today?” he asked me bewildered.“Yes, today is the day I got my payment. When I get it, I buy everything for these 2 places and visit them, helping animals and children.”“I do the same. But I don’t-“ I interrupted him:“But you don’t work! I know! It’s just, I work only for these places. I don’t waste my money on myself!” I said and was about to leave, when he stated:“I will come with you! I want to help animals too!”I was surprised, but I thought that animals could also use his help. I concured and we went to his car, but at first, he put my bike in his trunk.When we started driving, I decided to ask him about the orphanage:“They know you very wel
24 hours after the party:“He...he...” I started shocked and nearly crying, having that spine-chilling picture imprinted on my mind.“Please, calm down, Ms. Walker! Tell us, what he did?” the police officer asked.“He wanted to rape me!” I screamed, my voice echoing around the room, and started crying. 48 hours before the party:It was 6 A.M in the morning. I had to get up and got ready for school. Mia was discharged from the hospital yesterday in the evening. She asked me to come to her and she wanted to drive us to school.60 hours before the party: I got the call from Mia in the evening, when Raf took me home. I was about to fall asleep, when she called me.“Hey, Ky!” she started. “Mia? Do you know what time it is now?” I asked her sleepily, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.“It&rs
“Are you serious?” I asked shocked. He nodded and pulled me to the helicopter. “But what about our friends and family?” I continued. “The plane will take them! Let’s go!” he yelled and we went inside. “We are going to be pilots, Mrs. King to be,” Raf stated. “Really?!” I asked shocked. He nodded and I ran to the pilot seat and put the headphones on which I found there. He sat on the other seat. The whole flight I had a big smile plastered on my face. I was so happy. It seemed like that whole day was about surprises, shock and happiness. That what my life has been consisted of, since we became a couple. But now we are going to be a wife and a husband! As we landed the helicopter, we saw the plane landing too. It was the rented plane for our guests. The car arrived and we went to the registry office. I wouldn’t tell you how it was, but as we were engaged, we were about to go to the wedding. It was too fast and unexpected
10 years later...“Mommy!” I heard a thin voice calling me.“Daddy!” the other one continued. I woke up and so did Raf.“Merry Christmas!” I said sleepily and took Isabelle on the bed.“Merry Christmas!” Raf exclaimed and took Adam on the bed.“Are you ready to unwrap your gifts?” I asked kids.“Yes!” they screamed in unison and ran out of our room. Raf and I chuckled and turned to face each other.“Merry Christmas, Peanut!” he exclaimed, rubbing his finger on my cheek.“Merry Christmas!” I exclaimed and kissed him.“Let’s go?”“Yes, but wait a little bit!”“Do you remember Christmas 6 years ago?” I asked, laughing.“It’s hard to forget.” He chuckled. 6 years ago...“Ky
She nodded.“The surgery went successfully! She is cancer free! Congratulations!” doctor exclaimed.We breathed out. It was a great relief.“Thank you, Doctor! You saved our grandma!” dad exclaimed and shook his hand.“It’s my job! I’m happy to give you such news!” he continued and left. All of us hugged immediately. We were very happy. I couldn’t be more excited. A lot of things got better and it seemed like every other problem became nothing.“Dad, how many days should she stay in the hospital?” I asked.“4-7 days. I think everything will be alright. They just need to look after her, so the diseases don’t come back,” dad answered.“Okay.” I nodded.“But you have to go back to Spain.”“What?! I can’t leave my granny!”“We will look after her! It’s more than enough.
Next day was a great and a scary one. Granny had to get her operation done. We were happy about her getting rid of cancer, but of course, every surgery without exception was regarded as a dangerous and a serious one. But that morning was a happy different and the best one. I woke up, understanding that soon Raf was going to come and there wouldn’t be an awkward silence or the pain beating in the chest, because of the unspoken words. There would be his hugs, support, love and the knowledge of his feelings for me. That was what I had been craving for since my mom died. I needed the person who would take care of me, understand and love me, the same way, she did once. And Raf appeared to be that person. People say, that there are parts in the world. They are divided at first, but the goal of the life is to find the lost half of your heart and soul. Ras was the one. He found the key to my heart which was lost and have never been found till
When we arrived at the same beach, as I was in the end of the last summer, it was evening. Soon would be the sunset, the way we wanted. The wind was warm but strong. Uncle took from the bag a blanket and put it down on the sand. We sat on it. “We brought some food!” dad exclaimed and took the basket full of food out of his trunk.“When did you manage to do it?” granny asked.“While you were playing in the amusement park, we ordered the food,” uncle explained.”It’s amazing!” I exclaimed.We started eating. There were a lot of sandwiches, bottles of coke, a big plate of salad and a huge cake. When we finished eating, Raf whispered:“Can we talk?”I nodded and he helped me to get up. I wanted to talk to him today too. And it was the best place and time for that conversation. We went a little bit farther and decided to go behind the huge stone.
I went downstairs and sat at the table. There wasn’t Raf. We started eating. I was thinking of the words I had to tell him. Maybe I was stupid, but it meant a lot for me. It was the first time I had ever fallen in love with someone and something told me that it was the last time. I needed to know if it was a reciprocated love. When we were done, we went outside to sit in the car. There was Raf. He was like always sitting on his motorbike. Everyone sat in the car and I sat next to him on the bike. We were driving to the park. I wasn’t distancing myself, I took a hold of his waist and put my head on his back. He looked at me, surprised of my action. Yes, I was confusing. One second I could run I away, but the next second I would pull him in my embrace. And I hoped he would be the only one who understood me. When we arrived to the park, we parked the car and bike and went inside.“I want to ride on carousel!” grandma sc
“Yes,” he answered.“But she said, that she wasn’t,” I said.“That’s for you to be okay. But I can see, how nervous she is. She is scared of dying, and it’s understandable,” dad said.“But is it dangerous?” I asked.“Every surgery is dangerous. But I’m sure that nothing bad will happen with her.”“That’s why she wants to have some fun, before it?” Linc asked.Uncle and dad nodded.“She wants to get distracted. And she wants to spend a lot of time with you, because she thinks that she won’t survive,” uncle added. “But we will make that day the best one. She has to relax and stop being nervous. Can’t it make everything worse?” I asked.“In some way yes, but don’t worry! Tomorrow we’ll make sure she will have a lot of fun. She will completely forget about her
Next day, we had to go the doctor’s appointment. It looked like she had to get her first chemotherapy. I woke up at 7:30 and started getting ready. I wore a pair of jeans, white T-shirt and trainers. I made a ponytail and put on some gloss. I went downstairs and saw guys sitting on the couch with grandma. Uncle and dad were cooking breakfast. I sat on the couch and joined the conversation. I noticed that Raf wasn’t there. Probably, he went home last night.“Good morning!” I said.“Good morning!” everyone said back.“What are you talking about?”“Nothing interesting,” grandma answered.I nodded. I knew exactly that they were lying, but I didn’t want to push it. When breakfast was ready, we sat together at the table and started eating. Everybody was silent. I guess they were tensed about the chemotherapy. We knew that everything would change. Her hai
He looked at his computer and started analyzing the results.“There is a pice of good news! It’s the first stage. It can be recovered. You just have to get some chemistry procedures and then the surgery will help you get better.”All of us breathed out.“How many procedures will there be?” I asked.“We can’t tell the exact amount, but not much,” he answered.“When can we start?” dad asked.“Come tomorrow at nine A.M.,” he said.“Thank you, Doctor,” dad stated and shook his hand.Uncle did the same. Then we left the hospital. “Don’t you want some ice cream?” granny asked us.“I do,” Linc answered.“Me too! Boys, buy some ice cream for us,” she tuned to uncle and dad.“Your wish is our command!” dad said.“We will go home! It’s such a fresh ai
