“Hey, Kylie!” I heard a familiar voice. It was James.
“God! You startled me! What are you doing here?” I asked him, heavily breathing.
“Grace asked me to give you a lift!”
“Oh, well!”
“So you stopped hating me, right?” he asked me.“Well, I hate you less now.” I laughed and he giggled.
“This is the progress!” he exclaimed. “You understand that I didn’t do anything wrong, right? This was his parents’ choice.”
I didn’t say anything and looked out the window.
When we arrived, we went inside the house.“Hey, Kylie!” Grace greeted, as she opened the doors.
“Hi, Grace!” I answered. We hugged each other.
“Come in!”
We went to the living room.
“Kylie!” Mason, Logan, Liam and Alexa screamed.
“Hey, guys!” I said and
The next day started, as usually, from breakfast. This time, I met my dad.“Hey dad!” I exclaimed, as I went downstairs.“Hey, dear!” he answered and approached me to kiss my cheek.“How are you? How did your surgeries go?” I asked, when I sat in the kitchen near him.“Good, but I’m tired. The surgeries went successfully and you can’t imagine how happy I was when I saved one patient from amputating an arm!”“Oh, Jesus! It’s so scary!” I said, and he nodded. “Dad!”He looked at me, waiting for me to continue.“How do you know, what is right when you do something?” I asked.I thought about my experience and knew, that my dad could give me a piece of advice.“Well, it’s just what your intuition whispers to you. It may be wrong, of course. But you should trust your gut, even if it may seem to you wrong! Personall
“Raffael King! Stop!” Coach came and started screaming.Other boys came as well and started pulling them away. But Raf didn’t move an inch. He was mad and wrathful. “Raf! Stop!” other students started screaming.He didn’t hear anyone. He was beating James up.“Raffael!” I screamed.That was when he looked up and stopped fighting.I looked at Raf and shook my head in disappointment.“Peanut...” he said.I ran to James and sat on my knees to look at him.“James!” I started calling him.He was unconscious.“James!” I screamed and started hitting him softly on his face.Then I felt his hand brushing my hand.“Everything’s okay,” he whispered, opening slowly his eyes. When I started looking at his face, I saw a lot of bruises, his eye couldn’t open up. And blood was coming fr
Since that day I haven’t talked to Raf for 2 weeks. We were just passing through each other, without exchanging a word. Sometimes we were staring at each other, but it was the highest form of communication. Most of the time, I spent with James. I sat with him at the lessons, he started coming with us to my house for the homework. I was forgetting Raf, but in the end, he still was always on my mind. It was finally the last day before the Christmas. As always, we attended our classes, went to the cafeteria and then in the end of the day, we wished each other Merry Christmas. We knew that after this holiday, we would meet on the trip.Bella went back home. She wanted to spend it with us, but she couldn’t help, but miss her dad and even her evil sister. Linc and I sat in the car and started the ride.“So, I noticed, that you stopped talking to Raf,” he mumbled.I nodded and replied:“Indeed
“Let me guess: your dad asked you to buy gifts for all the Kings’ family members?” Raf stated, as he took off his helmet.“Your mom did the same?” I asked.He nodded and laughed. “Sit back! Let’s go together!”“I will accept your proposition to give me a lift, but then we will go separate ways. You can’t just ignore me 2 weeks because of Charlotte and then talk to me, like nothing is wrong!”“Sorry, Peanut! I hope everything goes back to normal soon, but until it does, it has to be this way,” he apologized and put on the helmet, giving me another one to wear. I wore it and sat on the bike.“Hold on tight!” he screamed and I put my hands around his waist.As he started riding, I tightened my grip on him. I noticed him yearning to look at me. I imagined his face with a smirk plastered on it. But somehow, even this annoying smirk of his made me feel better
After the Christmas, it was the day of the trip. I woke up really early, so I could pack my things. I put warms clothes: sweaters, jeans, knitted skirts, blouses, coats, jackets. We were going to the ski resort and there would be much colder. When I put the last thing in my luggage, I closed it and went downstairs to put it near the entrance. There wasn’t Lincoln’s luggage, so I wanted to check if he had packed it already. I went to his room and saw him sleeping, his pieces of clothing lying on the floor and a big mess. I started waking him up.“Linc! Get up and pack your things!” I whispered loudly.He started opening his eyes, but then closed them again.“I swear, I’m gonna kill you!” I continued swaying him.“What time is it now?” he whispered, still having his eyes closed.“It’s five a.m.!”He opened his eyes and sat up. &nbs
“What are we gonna do in the living room?” I asked confused.“Boys want to organise a secret party! It will be at 7, after the dinner. Now we are going to the living room where all the teachers are, to make them think, that nothing’s gonna happen. We will say that we are going to bed early or something like that!” Mia explained.“Wow! I like this idea!” I exclaimed and clapped my hands. When we came to the living room, I saw Raf, James, Lincoln, Dylan, Charlotte and other cool students sitting on the couches. Teachers were not far from us, near the reception.“Babe!” Lincoln called Mia and opened his arms.Mia ran towards him and sat near him, hugging each other. Bella sat near Dylan. They looked so cute together. This is definitely one more endgame.“Ky!” I heard James calling me.I approached him and sat next to him. Raf sat there with his hands crossed across th
Kylie Walker“Kylie?! Wake up!” I heard someone screaming at me.And then I felt soft hits on my face. I started opening my eyes slowly and that was when I saw James.“James?” I whispered, breaking my voice.“Yes, I’m here! Don’t be scared! I will find a place with fireplace, so you could get warmed up.”I nodded and he lifted me up, carrying me.“Thank you,” I whispered weakly.“Anything for you.” He smiled. “Look! Here is a house. Let’s ask the owner to let us stay a little bit,” he suggested and I nodded.I didn’t have much strength to speak. He approached the house and started knocking on the doors. Nobody was opening.“Hello!” he screamed.But there was still no answer. Then he pushed the door. Apparently, it was opened. We went inside and there was a fi
At first, James was leading. I didn’t scream anyone’s name to encourage, because if I would be on James’ side, Raf would be mad at me. Even if he was an ass a lot, we still were close friends. He understood me a lot. But he wasn’t intending on opening his wounds to someone. I remembered the Christmas and like by magic, I wanted to forget every bad word he had ever said to me. Mia said that he was jealous. But was he?If I was on Raf’s side, James would be mad at me too. Because he was like a puppy, loyal to me. He was always trying to get closer and make me feel comfortable. But there was one thing: if I had to be on someone’s side, I would choose Raf. This was what my heart was saying. That I had to be on Raf’s side. But why did my heart never pay attention to his bad actions and remember just the good ones?They were almost near the finish. James was leading, but in the end, Raf noticed the slope and went up on it. He
“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
