A few minutes later, I'm still awake and I decide to wake up, so I switch the lights back on and head to the bathroom to take a shower.
Scott is coming for me at seven in the morning so I might as well get ready early.
After my warm shower, I grab my white robe, put it on over my pajamas and head downstairs to make some pancakes. I like mine fluffy so I take my time while preparing them.
A smile curves on my face when I remember that dad loves my pancakes, I know he missed them and he'd be glad to have them for breakfast.
At around six, I am done cooking and eating breakfast. To avoid waking anyone up I tiptoe back upstairs, and right before I close my door, my parent's bedroom door opens.
"Good morning Kyrah, you're up early," dad says while yawning and stretching his arms.
"Morning dad, I made pancakes for breakfast. Just how you like them," I smile when his eyes brighten up and without wasting time he's on his way to the kitchen dow
Voices are in the background and I hear Roxy's very loud whisper. At that moment, I choose to open my eyes."She's up!" Roxy says stepping forward and Scott steps in front of her, then Blake in front of him. Scott rubs his temple, agitated and heads out."Kyrah... How are you feeling right now?" Blake moves his hand to cup my cheek and I notice that I have an oxygen mask on.I look around and realize that I am not in our campus clinic.A bag of fluid is connected to a long needle by a plastic tube. The needle has been put on my arm and taped in place. The fluid drips from the bag, through the tube and needle, and into my skin. My arm feels cold."How long has it been since I passed out?" I ask Blake."Two hours," he says, his brows furrowed."And thirty seven minutes, that's a really long time," Roxy adds."Roxy I..." she cuts me off."I know, you had your inhaler but this time round, nothin
Kyrah's POVAbout thirty minutes after Roxy and the rest left. I'm still struggling to get some sleep when a nurse opens the door and walks in with a tray full of medicine bottles and syringes.I don't remember anyone mentioning any of that, and I hate medicine, totally scared of syringes, the one on my arm is enough torture for me to handle. Thank God they put it there when I was still asleep or rather, still passed out."Uhm... Hey, am I supposed to... You know get injected?" I question eagerly."No, dear, I'm only supplying your pills, what would you like to have for dinner?" the nurse in a white dress asks sweetly and I calm down."Can I get ice cream?" I ask."Oh no, you can't. That's not good for you, maybe some rice and chicken?" she asks and I nod. Even though I'm really craving some vanilla ice-cream. Or a frappé maybe? I don't know."Okay then. How many pills do I take?"She places the tiny bo
Scott's POVRoxy and Kye are busy getting to know each other and I watch them as they are discussing about some movie they both have interest in.I wonder if Kyrah is okay. To be honest, I am worried about her.As I walk to the window, I stare outside and I love how the street lights have made the city look so beautiful."The view from up here is quite nice. Breath-taking if I may say," I announce."Lemme come check it out," Roxy says and leaves Kye on the bed."Guys, you both know I can't walk to where you are," he complains and we all share a laugh."It really is beautiful," Roxy emphasises and seconds later my phone rings."It's Kyrah," I say and I look at Roxy."Put her on speaker," she demands and I oblige.The first thing we hear is a high pitched voice. Very annoying. I signal everyone to keep quiet as we listen.*"You see, we had no problem when you weren't all over my
Kyrah's POVAfter the encounter with Sabrina in the hospital, I knew life would never be the same. I didn't expect her to go that far.It's been a week now since I left the hospital but I haven't attended any of my classes although I had Scott and Roxy inform the lecturers what happened. I am usually very cautious when it comes to my attendance.When my parents got to know what happened at the hospital, they had me transfered to another hospital and stayed with me for two days straight. Maeve came over at the hospital and so did Jim and Tyler. They brought me flowers and a get well soon card.Very thoughtful.When I got discharged, Roxy and Scott drove from school everyday just to see me. I wasn't that bubbly as usual and I could tell Scott was still worried. Everyone, was worried.He had this look in his eyes that showed that he was broken, or sad, I just couldn't tell.Today I've decided to go to school since I feel bett
Few minutes later, a call comes in and he punches the answer button on the steering wheel and a masculine voice pops up from the console."Son, how are you doing?" the person asks.It's his dad. I turn to look at Scott who looks very calm as he replies, his eyes still on the road."Very good, sir," he responds."I will be landing a few weeks from now. I was hoping you'd pick me up at the airport?" he asks."Alright, I will, just let me know as soon as you arrive at the airport," Scott says."Okay, and son, I hope everything is fine, the house? Yourself?""Everything is well taken care of dad," he chuckles."That's good," his dad says."Uhm, dad I want you to talk to my best friend," Scott says while trying to hide a smile.My eyes widen up and I shake my head, and mouth a huge NO but then..."Oh, Kye? I heard he got injured," comes his dad's response."Well,
Blake stands there infront of me with his hands in his pockets, eagerly waiting for a reply."Err, maybe another night, am not fully recovered yet... Babe," I hesitate.The last word makes him pull me into a hug, he seems so excited."So now we're a thing, huh?""I guess so." I shrug and he plants a small kiss on my lips and Roxy coughs loudly."Class time!"I turn around and Scott is a couple of inches away from where Roxy is seated. He is walking fast, I wonder why. I then realize they've finished their lunch and I haven't had time to eat anything. I am not that hungry though.Blake gives me one last hug and snakes his arm around my waist as we head to class, Roxy is following us from a distance and when I look back, she winks at me and I giggle."What?" Blake asks."Oh, nothing babe, I'm just excited for our first lecture together that's all."We walk down the hall and for sure, heads ar
The look on my mom's face when I arrived home yesterday in wet clothes was priceless. At first she was shocked that maybe Sabrina had done something to me but then smiled when her eyes landed on Scott who was wet as well and she just laughed at us.Yesterday was quite a lovely day at the beach with Scott. He's such a great friend.Thoughts of us playing around in the water cross my mind as I put on some makeup. It's almost seven o'clock and Blake is coming to pick me up. I called him in the morning and told him that I was home alone for today since my parents would be going on a date tonight. So, I might as well step out.With my new boyfriend ofcourse.A dash of lipstick and a spritz of perfume here and a little bit of foundation and concealer there and voila! My face looks fabulous and I smell like a bunch of roses.I look glamorous.The dress I choose to wear is a plain, off shoulder, black dress, not too long, not too short.
We have our meals in silence, table manners ofcourse and after that, Blake pours in some wine for both of us."It tastes so good, doesn't it?" Blake cocks his head to the side."Of course, this is surely the finest wine in town. Courtesy of my family's company and this is quite a lovely place too, don't you think?" he says and I gasp."Wow! That's amazing," I say.Some slow music comes on from around one corner and I can see a band coming towards us with violines.I am deeply praying that they'll pass our table but instead they stop right at our table. Yay! a serenade, urgh."May I have this dance?" Blake stands up, and offers his hand to me, and I hold on to it like my entire life depends on it. Trying to ignore the number of people smiling at us.Then it hits me.This is just like in my dream. I've dreamt about such a thing with Blake for so many nights! It's a dream turned into reality.
