“What are you talking about?” I asked them and sat with Bella.
“You are a couple now. And Raf is being weird,” Mia started.
“Well, I don’t know. I have nothin to do with it.”
“I bet 50 bucks that he is jealous!” Mia continued.
“Well, it’s too obvious,” Linc stated.
“Come on, guys!” I exclaimed.
“Sis, are you serious with James?” Linc asked.
“If only I knew...” I muttered, shaking my head and the bell rang.
The next lesson was Literature. And Raf wasn’t there. I asked Dylan if he was on the second lesson with him. He was. I guess, he was shunning me, because he was attending only the lessons without me.I decided to forget about Raf, as well, as he did. Maybe it was for the better. But I was still sad when I was understanding that our friendship or whatever we had was destroyed. Again. <Kylie WalkerA month passed. It was February already. As I said, we haven’t talked with Raf since James’ birthday. Nothing has changed. And I still didn’t get used to James being so comfortable with me. No matter how many dates we’ve been to, it was still weird for me. It was 18th February. The weather was warmer than in January, but it was still cold. I was getting ready for school. James has already arrived at my house. I said goodbye to dad and went out of the house. I sat in the car and he leaned to kiss me. I kissed him back.“How is my favourite girl?” he asked and started driving.“Who is that girl?” I asked sarcastically.“You!”I laughed and answered:“I’m good.”“I wanted to ask you one thing. It’s important to me.”“I&rsquo
“Thank you,” I stated and she left again. Mia and Bella were staring at me in confusion. I was looking at the mirror at my image, pondering, who it could be.“Aren’t you going to comment on this?” Mia asked.“What do you expect me to say? I have no idea of who it could be. I thought about James,” I said.“Why does it feel like it’s not him?” Bella asked obvious.“Why?” I queried.“Have you ever told him about your favourite colour?” Mia started.“No,”I replied.“And plus, he would definitely admit that he was the one, who did it,” Bella claimed.“Right! Who would want to keep it a secret but still make you smile?” Mia asked.I had only one name on my mind, but it was stupid to think about him. “Raf,” Bella stated.“No!” I said, shaking my head adama
Kylie WalkerIt has passed one more month since the ball. It was already March. Nothing changed. Raf was still ignoring us, but that time I wasn’t against it. I wasn’t paying attention to him. I didn’t look at him and didn’t check if his bike had been on the parking lot. Even though, he turned out to be my first love, I decided to move on. It would take a lot of time, but I could do it. Baby steps. “Hey!” Mia screamed, as James and I arrived at school.“Hey, guys!” I said.“Whose birthday will be in a week?” Mia asked, knowing the answer.“Ours!” Linc screamed and put his hand over my shoulder.“When is your birthday?” James asked.“7th of March,” I answered.“Why didn’t you tell me?”“I thought you knew,” I said. “It doesn’t matter, James
I saw a nice, comfortable and decorated room. There were candles on the floor, four blankets and on the little table there were packets of food and drinks. “Wow,” I whispered.“You like it?” James asked.“I love it!” I exclaimed and hugged him.“How did you organize it?” Linc asked.“It was James, who did it!” Bella exclaimed.“That’s why you couldn’t give me a lift?” I asked, but it was more like a sentence.He nodded and smiled.“But where are we?” I asked.“It’s a little basement in the park near our house,” James elucidated.“You have a basement in the park?” I asked bewildered.“Something like that.” James giggled.“Come on! We have a lot of things to do,” Dylan said and sat near the blankets.“What are we going to do?”
It was already June. We have passed our exams. I was happy with my results. Now we had prom to attend. After it we could say goodbye to high school. “Oh my God! Can you believe it? Tomorrow will be prom. And that’s all. Our school adventures ended so quickly!” Mia exclaimed.We were in the cafe Daisy with Jeremy, Mia, Lincoln, Bella, Dylan and James. Then we wanted to go shopping, because neither of us had found the dress. I haven’t told anyone about that letter I got on my birthday from Raf. I don’t know why, really. There wasn’t a suitable time for it, I guess. So I wanted to tell today, while picking our gowns. “Me too! It’s awful and exciting at the same time!” Dylan exclaimed.“I am a little bit scared to go to university. It will be so different there,” Bella stated.“Yes, but we will be together. Linc, you, Mia and I,” I said.&ld
All of us knew who it was. His stupid hair was as always perfect, his mischievous smirk was as always hot, his eyes were as always piercing with the gaze, his...his everything was stupid, annoying, wicked, smug...but it was still the best for me. He started walling towards me, but I was sure, that he would repeat the last action, he had done on the ball. He would give me hope and then trample it with all his strength. Just to hurt me. Our eyes were locked. The story was repeating itself. I knew it, I was sure that he would do it again.But it didn’t scare me from getting into his mind, using his eyes as the gates to hell. However, then he stopped near me and my heart started beating as fast as it was possible. “Can I steal one dance?” He winked at me, but was talking to James.I nodded, but I guess James was against it. However, I was already dancing with Raf in my mind and I completely forgot about anyone or anything els
I woke up at five A.M. I wasn’t really sleeping whole night. I didn’t catch a wink of sleep. I was thinking about Raf’s words, scrutinizing his voice and face expression. I wanted it to be a joke. A wicked but still a joke. But my gut was telling me that it wasn’t a joke. That I had to go to the airport to listen to him, to find out about everything. And maybe to say the last goodbye...I got up and started getting ready quietly. I didn’t need anyone to wake up because of me. I took a shower, brushed my teeth and then came back to my room to chose an outfit. I wore a pair of white denim shorts and a red crop top. It was 5:30 when I was ready. Now I needed to get to the airport. I decided to call Uber. It took 10 minutes for the driver to come. I sat in his car and we started driving.The whole drive I was checking my phone, waiting for Raf to text me something. But there was nothing. Just yesterday’s t
I wanted to scream, to stop him from leaving. That what he meant by saying that his departure depended on me. The answer on his question was responsible for it. My answer wasn’t the one he wanted to hear. It didn’t make him stay. I ran to the windows and saw him going to the airplane. He was going upstairs and when he was already near the doors, he looked up at the window. I guess, he was looking at me, but he was too far for me to be sure about it.“Raf,” I whispered.It was like he heard it. He looked down, shook his head and went inside the airplane. I was standing there until the plane took off. And I understood, that there was no chance that he would come back.He was gone...I went back to the Uber driver. He was still there. I just needed to tell someone about it. Right now.“Hey, how did it go? Is he taking his luggage back now?” he asked, smiling.I looked at him an
“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
