When I opened my eyes, I was on the couch, surrounded by my friends who were screaming and asking what they should do. I was shaking from cold and felt extremely weak. The room was spinning and I heard echos. I couldn’t understand clearly what was happening. It was like I woke up from a nap. But I wanted to close my eyes, because I felt like going back to sleep. But I knew that by doing it, you are not going to sleep, you are going back to unconsciousness. I opened my eyes completely.
“Peanut?” Raf asked, as he looked at me. Everyone stopped doing their things and glanced at me.
“God! Don’t scare us so much!” Mia exclaimed and hugged me.
“What happened?” I asked bewildered.
“You fainted and fell down from the stairs. If Raf hadn’t caught you, you would have been injured very bad,” Jeremy explained.
“Thank you.” I looked at Raf and put my hand on his.
He fell silent. He was getting angrier and started breathing heavily. And suddenly doors opened. Guys came in.“Oh, that’s where you were,” Linc said.“I decided to help Peanut,” Raf explained.James opened his mouth to start, but I understood what he was going to say. That’s why I looked at him in the annoyed way. He stopped.That day nothing new happened, but I went to my room to sleep a little. After the pill and tea I got better, but still felt weak. The next day, as always guys went for a walk, but Raf stayed with me. He was very helpful, because I couldn’t be on my own at home. Sometimes my temperature went low, but most of the day it still was high.We went to my room and I decided to stay there.“Do you want something?” Raf asked me, as he helped me lie down.“No, just sit with me,” I stated.He sat on my bed near me and
The next day would be the first day of school after the holidays. It felt like holidays went into flash. I didn’t get to enjoy them. Maybe I wanted more, but I also wanted to meet my friends at school. I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. Then I started getting ready. I wore a pair of dark blue jeans, roll-neck sweater and long boots. When I was done, I went downstairs to the kitchen. There were Lincoln and Bella. “Good morning, sleeping beauty! How do you feel today?” dad asked me. I chuckled. “Good morning, everyone! I feel good. “Are you ready to go to school? I really thought that there was still so much time until the school. But now it’s in an hour,” Lincoln pouted. We laughed. “Agree!” Bella stated. “Let’s start eating breakfast now,” dad suggested and we nodded, going to the dining r
It was already Friday. We had to get up early to go to school, where the bus will be waiting for us and then we will go to Malibu.We woke up at five A.M. When I got up and went to the kitchen, Linc was already there.“Hey, for how long have you been up?” I asked sleepy.“I woke up at four A.M.,” he stated, drinking water.“Are you insane? You needed some rest before the game. Why did you wake up so early?” I asked, shocked.“Because I understand, that during this match anything can happen. I’m a captain and I am responsible about the game!”“What do you mean by ‘anything can happen’?”“Jordan plays by the book at first, but if he understands, that he isn’t as strong as others are, he starts playing dirty. He can do something for us to lose and I won
I had to tell Linc about it. I ran quickly to coach where the whole team was. “Linc! Linc! I found out the reason!” I started breathing heavily from nervousness.“What do you mean?” he asked me.“They...stole your techniques and stu-d-died them, while you were taking the cake from them. You n-need to change your technique, because they know each of them!” I was stuttering.“These pieces of-“ Raf started, but Coach stopped him:“We don’t have time to offend them! We need to decide what to do!”“What can we do? Everything we do, they will copy it and do the same but faster. We lost!” Jeremy stated angrily. I looked at the team. They were flabbergasted. They didn’t expect anything like that. People are too cruel and cunning in the world. They will do everything for their benefit, but they won’t care about others. I looked at th
Linc got into an accident. His bike was broken and he was bleeding.“Call an ambulance!” I screamed and ran to Linc.He was unconscious. I tried to find his pulse. I couldn’t find it, because my hands were shaking. But I felt some quiet beating.“Linc! Don’t you dare leave me, idiot!” I screamed.Mia was crying and she fell down near him“Linc! Please! Wake up!” she screamed.I looked at him. His head was injured. It was bleeding too. And the stomach. I couldn’t look at him. He was completely covered with bruises. I felt like I turned deaf. I couldn’t hear anything, everything was drowned out. And the picture became blurry. Everything was in slow-mo. I was shaking like an addict. I felt someone’s hands on my shoulders, then they cupped my face. It was Raf. He was telling me something, but I heard only echoes of my mind. They were telling me:“You will
I closed my eyes and got closer to the edge of the cliff. I looked around, as if I wanted to hear an answer on my question: should I do it? We should listen to the gust of the wind, that’s how God whispers the answer. But I was too deaf to hear anything. My hair was dancing with the wind, making them cover my face. I started closing eyes because it gave me an excruciating feeling of dry eyes. That was the right time, I guess. Okay, on 3...2...1.“Good afternoon!” I heard someone’s voice. I got scared and jumped away.“G-good afternoon,” I stuttered, when I looked at him.It was an old man. He was probably in his mid sixties. He had hazel eyes, and grey hair. He was a tall and slim man. His face was covered with wrinkles. “I’m sorry for bothering you, but my phone is broken, and I’m waiting for a delivery of a very important thing. I have their number on the piece o
“Hey, guys!” he screamed.“Hey, man!” Raf exclaimed.“Baby!” Linc said to Mia.She went to hug him.“Awww!” Bella and I exclaimed.“How do you feel?” Jeremy asked.“Wonderful! I want to go home!”“All of us want it,” Dylan said. “But it was good to be back here!”“You were here?” Bella asked.“Yes, I had my history here,” he stated and looked away, like he remembered something. Until 2:30 p.m. I was there.Then I stated:“Guys! I have to go. I need to do one very important thing!”They wanted to ask questions, but I quickly waved to them and left the room. When I was about to go downstairs, I heard Raf calling me and running to me.“Where are you going?” he asked, as I stopped.“I told you already, that I have some things
The next day we had to return home. At eight A.M. the bus had to take us. I woke up at six A.M.. Everyone was still sleeping. Something was keeping me up. I went to the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. Then, I wore a white roll-neck sweater with a white jacket and black jeans. I went downstairs and saw Raf sitting in the reception room.“Good morning!” I exclaimed.“Good morning!”“Why are you up so early?”“And why are you up so early?”“I was the first!”“We are not playing, Peanut!” He chuckled.“Something was keeping me up. It’s like I have to do something, but don’t know what.”“Buy the phone to Josh?”I started thinking.“Yes! How did you understand?” I asked bewildered.“I am also his friend now and I want to communicate with him. &nb
“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
