All Chapters of Being Alive: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Kylie WalkerI woke up at seven A.M. because of the noises in the kitchen. I remembered Raf’s night call. I wanted to smile and wanted to cry at the same time. I was sorry for Raf’s situation. He is the person, who loves too much and not asks anything in return. But when people really give him nothing in return, it’s difficult and painful.I got up and went straight downstairs. It was my dad, making breakfast. He had to go early to the work.“Good morning!” I said.“Oh, my little princess woke up! Good morning!” he exclaimed and kissed me. “Do you have any plans for today?”“Guys will come over and we will decide, I think. Because yesterday, we were too busy, enjoying that day to think about the next one.”“It’s great! I heard there’s opened a new cinema in the shopping center. Maybe you should visit it?” &l

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.

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

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

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
