Raffael King (the day of his departure)
I wasn’t sleeping at all. After I told her to meet me in the airport, I left. I was walking around the city without the destination. I have been thinking about leaving for a long time.
After I made up with dad, I started feeling good a bit. But something was still missing. It took a lot of time for me to understand what the matter was. But in the end, I came to terms, that I needed her. And those 4 months were a living hell. It was like my heart wBut I hated having no answer. I hoped for a positive answer, but she didn’t even say the negative one. I started being numb to everything. I ran back to the departure hall. l was replaying her answer. “I don’t know.”Then I was already on my way to the airplane. Everyone was inside, except for me. I went upstairs and each stair was like one more repetition of her answer. And it was like a knife was stabbing me deeper and deeper in the heart.When I was near the doors, I looked up at the windows. I hoped she was exactly there. Then I looked down and whispered:“I love you.”I shook my head in disbelief and then went inside. I found my seat and sat near the window. Then plane started setting off. And I understood one more time, that I lost her. Forever.How? Why? How did you do it? Why don’t you love me? I was never meant to fall in love with you. It was a gift and a puni
Kylie WalkerIt was already the end of the August. The day we had to leave to Spain. I had my bags packed. Everything that I had was downstairs near the doors, waiting for its time to get to the trunk. Our flight was at eight A.M. But I woke up two hours earlier. I went to the balcony. This place became my favourite one during those 3 months. There I felt calmly and maybe, it was the place where I most remembered him. I didn’t try to forget Raf, because it would be even more painful to let him go. Even if he did it, I wouldn’t be ready to do it. It was a warm weather outside. A little wind was blowing sometimes, but it had only strength to move my little strands of hair. The sun was shining, making my skin feel its soft warmth. I heard footsteps getting closer to my room. The doors opened and I saw dad. He approached the balcony and sat outside with me.“Good m
“Kylie, Linc! I’m so glad to see you!” she exclaimed and hugged us.Well, we were taken aback at first.“Hey...” we stated confused.“Don’t worry! I’m not that psychotic bitch anymore. I am telling the truth! I have been attending appointments with the psychologist. I am getting better!” she explained.“But why did you decide to do it?” I asked.“Bella told dad everything. He decided that I needed a little bit help after the divorce,” she continued.“It’s true. She is getting better!” uncle affirmed.“And I’m deeply sorry because of my past actions! Can you forgive me?”We exchanged looks with Linc. We nodded and stated:“Yes.”She hugged us again. It was childish to hold grudges. We are family after all. We have to stay together, because there aren’t a lot of people who i
“Yes!” Raf nodded.“Where did you meet?” Linc started asking.“Excuse me, I have to go,” I stated and was about to go, but Raf stopped me:“Wait! We haven’t seen each other for 3 months. Aren’t you interested in what was happening?”My back was turned to them. I was facing Bella. She was looking at us from the distance. I could have felt her being sorry for me. I turned around and stated, smiling:“Maybe another time. I have a lot of home assignment.”I went to Bella, not waiting for their answer.“Was it Raf?” Bella asked, as I approached her.I nodded. Bella took my hand.“God! They are so cold! Kylie, calm down! If he has moved on, it means that he didn’t deserve you,” she whispered.“But what if I don’t care about him deserving me?” I asked, but Bella was quiet. “But you are right
I wore a black mini skirt which was very tight and black bustier chain strap padded crop top. I looked at the mirror. I made some circles and then whispered:“You are a corpse.”I made a messy high ponytail with some front strands of hair being free. And I decided to make a wavy ponytail. I put on some makeup: mascara, eyeliner, highlighter and a dark burgundy matte lipstick. I was ready and going to the party had never felt so good.I went downstairs and everyone was ready as well.“God! You are my crush!” Ashley exclaimed.I laughed.“No comments!” Bella gasped.“Looking fire!” Dylan said.“Meh,” Linc added.“Why? Thank you everyone, especially my dear brother!” I exclaimed and chuckled.“Yeah, I’m the best thing in your life.” Linc winked.I rolled my eyes and commented:“Your arrogance is too annoy
Since that party has passed 2 weeks. We were studying a lot, because the first year in the university is always tough. I was talking a lot with Justin. He was very polite and cute. And luckily he understood that we could not be together.“Kylie, let me take your bag,” he said.“Why? I’m good.” I chuckled.“God, you always manage to spoil my gentleman mode.” He rolled his eyes.I giggled.“Then, let me give you a lift to your house.”“Dylan is giving us a lift.”“You are impossible to please!” he exclaimed.“Justin, I told you that I am not ready for the relationship.”“That doesn’t mean that I won’t try again and again.” He winked and left. I was seeing Megan and Raf a lot, kissing in their university area. But I understood, that if he was happy, I should let him go. I can’
“Maybe I did,” he mumbled.“Why?” I sighed.“Because...Lincoln wanted to be with her. He was telling me about how bad he missed her.”“Oh,” the only thing I said. It disappointed me, because I wanted me to be the reason of it. “And that’s the only reason?”He nodded slightly. “Yeah. Which other reason should be here?”I nodded. “Right,” I whispered and turned on my heel to leave, but he stopped me.“Did you miss me?” he asked, grabbing my arm.I didn’t know what to say, because if I told the truth, my pride would omit down.“I feel the same, as you do,” were the only words, that could come into my head.And I left. When classes were over, Dylan drove us home. We wanted to change our clothes to drive to airport and meet Mia there. When I was ready to go, I went downstairs and saw boys playing
As always, I woke up and started getting ready for the university. I wore a black skirt, black tights, white T-shirt and high heels. I went downstairs and everyone was ready too. Mia and Linc were hugging each other. Uncle Wayne was glad to have Mia at home. He has known her since childhood, because she has always been with us. “Hey, guys!” I said.“Hey!” everyone waved.“Let’s go?” Dylan asked.We nodded and sat in the car. Girls have been looking at me weirdly since last night. I haven’t told them about the last scene. They knew something had happened, because I was very quiet and upset. I would tell them, but later. When we arrived, we went inside. Bella, Mia, Ashley and I had histology together.“Guys, I have biology. See you later,” Linc said and left. “Kylie? Would you tell us what happened?” Mia started.“
“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
