• Keiran's POV •
My father and I came to the hospital the next morning. Apparently, he took a quick flight and was back before the sun was up. I wanted to go in my own ride but he didn't let me.
I decided to not argue and just do what he says. My mom's health was at stake right now and she needed us. I'm surprised I couldn't sleep at all last night because I kept thinking about her. A jerk like me had no idea I cared this much for her.
We walked into the ward and saw Damien standing next to her together with the nurse.
Mom was still unconscious and was using an oxygen tank to breath.
Damien stepped out and led us out of the room.
"Please, let's talk in my office." He said and we wordlessly followed him.
"Be quick with it, what is wrong with her? Tell me so I can provide whatever she needs to survive this." Dad said taking a seat while I s
• Umbrie's POV •I stared at the phone after I had disconnected the call until it went blank.I can't believe he just asked me out. I was never expecting that tho.And now that it happened, I ended up turning my phone off by mistake.Such a catch, Umbrie.I didn't panic. I was done bathing so I stepped out after wrapping myself up with a towel. I got dressed before leaving and meeting up with Daphne for drama rehearsals.I didn't like washing up at school but I had to from the sweat. Never again will I try so hard, I will just effortlessly do the exercises.When school was over, I got another call from Keiran and I did a breathing exercise before answering."Hello.""You hang up on me, Umbrie. I've been waiting for you to call back but you didn't." He stated."Well, I needed time to think through
• Umbrie's POV •I woke up all covered up on the bed and there was little ray of light reflecting in the room. I had feeling of going back to bed and not stepping out for the day.Unfortunately, I had to go to school.I sat up with my hair in a complete mess and covering my face and had scattered strands all over.I shook off the sleepy eyes and in one swift, tied my hair together. I had taken time last night to wear back my clothes tho I didn't want to but had to.I felt him leave the bed later after being beside me for a while.I dragged my lazy body to the bathroom and cleaned up for school. I hurried downstairs and joined everyone at the breakfast table.The issue about Sky healing someone at his school had died down like it never happened and mom didn't talk about it again.Jared drove us to school and he first dropp
• Umbrie's POV • At School.It was finally time for the dreaded exam and I'm glad that I was ready for it. Constant studying with the study group and the after school tutoring helped a lot and I was able to walk into the hallway with much confidence. I met up with Daphne almost immediately and she had bags under her eyes. I was impressed. She might have been reading all night."Hi, girlfriend." Daphne said clasping her hand together with mine."Hi, boyfriend. Your eyes are puffy today. You should take it easy on this exam. I'm confident we are gonna pass." I soothed and she didn't respond."I know. I will take it easy..." She muttered a while late."Great. Let's study together after school. Just the two of us at the city library." I suggested and she nodded without hesitation."That would be amazing." She replied in relief."I will get you a cup of coffee. Come on, let's go get some from the cafeteria." I pulled her along. The school only allowed seniors to have coffee whenever we
Umbrie didn't relent as he smacked the man hard on his forehead. He grunted and tried pushing her off. Daphne was able to stand from the ground and leaped to the door despite gee weak state.She looked around for help but there was no one in sight. Holding her bleeding arm, she slumped on the porch."You sick b*tch!" The man yelled kicking Umbria repeatedly on her abdomen which sent her wincing in pain. She was doing all she could to hold back from shifting and tearing him apart. She endured his hard kicks until it was as though she'd die and never survive. She remained on the floor clutching onto her stomach and growling in pain."That's enough. Please!" Umbrie cried when she felt her whole body going numb and disoriented.All of a sudden, someone landed on the man crashing him to the floor in the most chaotic thud. She lifted her head to see it was Keiran. He rushed to her and carried her up before taking her out of the house. Daphne had called the police and they arrived a few
Jared was on his usual aggressive driving mode and Daphne at some point, wondered why no cops had pulled him over and written him a note. But that was the least of her problems. They were getting near to the city and she's nervous about that. She hopes she doesn't see anyone that knows her. Especially her formal friends and toxic ex boyfriend.She was glad they moved but things got worse in their new home. Jared had been completely silence but quite rough like an attention seeker. When they were at the gas station, he was shuffling things and looking for something like a mad man but Daphne found it attractive in some kind of way. It gave her pictures in her mind.They continued the ride in another abrupt silence."How long do I have to wait for you to see your mother?" Jared asked breaking the silence."Oh...I won't take long. Twenty minutes would be fine." Daphne replied waving her hand. "Do you have nightmares about your father?" Jared asked remembering that time he saw her at th
Umbrie was shocked after the kiss and she disengaged the moment she caught what was happening. Her heart was beating fast as they both turned around and did a bow without making eye contact. Terry wore a smirk on his face looking as fearless as possible. He knew what he had done and he was glad he pulled it off."What on earth.... That jerk!" Umbrie cussed wiping her lips with the back of her hand. They were back stage and were pulling off their costumes."Do you think your boyfriend saw that?" Daphne asked closely following behind her."Gosh...Keiran. I don't know if he saw that." Umbrie mumbled while rubbing her lips even more. She was convinced his kiss would erase this way."That wasn't in the script. Terry is such a jerk." Daphne scoffed folding her hands."I don't know what came over him. Mr Sebastian seemed so happy about that shitty act. I guess he is the one that encouraged him to kiss me on stage." Umbrie pointed out."He is not the one. He has directed several plays for th
He turned around and shot her a cold look."What?" He asked in the most calm voice despite the chaos they just encountered."Your mom! You left her behind. Why would you do that?" Umbrie half yelled in a nagging voice."She wanted us to be safe. What's so bad in her sacrificing herself for us? I wanted to help but she stopped me so I'm obviously interpreting what she wants me to do." Keiran replied taking a sharp bend which caused them to stir around in the car. She quickly put a seatbelt on Sky wishing he wasn't witnessing their argument."Where are we going?" Umbrie yelled noticing the car doors had been locked by Keiran.He doesn't reply her but kept driving. She was fuming and was very pissed with him so she ignored him too. There was silence in the car which lasted through out the ride.Two hours has passed and Keiran was still moving. He had stopped by a gas station to fill up his tank. Umbrie and Sky had fallen asleep in the backseat.Keiran had the atmosphere to himself and
Keiran's POVI inserted the key into the hole and clicked it backwards. The sound it made echoed in the apartment.Opening the door, I saw Sky fast asleep on the bed right next to Umbrie.Oh! They weren't even awake in the first place.My imaginations were running so wild like I was in some movie.I entered anyway leaving the door ajar. I stood next to the bed and watched them sleep like innocent angels.It looked like Sky never yelled or played around creating chaos while Umbrie never glared, fought or make me feel ten times worse than I felt before.I wish I could erase the memory of me being a burden to her. It will encourage her more to dump my selfish arse.There was still an empty space at Umbrie's right hand side so I climbed on it despite the hesitations in my mind.I was glad I could hold myself from falling but the moment I dropped my head on the pillow, her eyes flickered open startling me.I flinched falling out of the bed and dropping my arse on the floor. She sat up aft
