Chapter 31
|Kyle's P.O.V|
It might seem a little weird to run after a girl who I didn't even know, but something about her intrigues me.
Maybe it was because she was always there. Her sweet, soft voice that spoke to me everyday despite my condition. I knew it was her the moment my eyes landed on her.
I admire the fact that she actually made time for me. I have no one left and I may have made some friends in those lost six months, but other than that, I've always felt lonely and to have her sit beside me everyday, holding my hand and stroking it, tugs something inside.
A feeling that I've never felt before.
"Hey! Wait up!" I managed to grab hold of her upper arm and pull her to a stop. "Why are you scared? Why are you running away from me?" I asked softly, removing the strand of hair covering her face. I frown, noticing her blood shot eyes full of tears.
Heck I'm falling for this girl and I don't even know her name! This feeling towards her feels familiar though.
"What's your name?" I question awkwardly and I could've sworn I saw the corner of her lip tug up a little.
"Rose."
"Rose..." I hum in satisfaction. "Suits you." I pull her closer, staring into her eyes. "So beautiful and delicate." I whisper, stroking her cheek. In that moment, I had absolutely no control over my body. I lean in unconsciously and capture her lips in my own.
** "Aphrodite was depicted as a beautiful woman, just like you, my sweet Rose."
"See Mal, she's so small like a chihuahua and when she gets angry, its hardly even intimidating."
"I want you to be my Aphrodite for Character day."
"I can see your desire for me burning in your eyes, love. You just don't want to accept it."
"You're my Aphrodite, Chi Chi." **
Needing oxygen, I pull back staring with wide eyes at the girl in front of me. "Chi chi..." I breathe out exasperated.
Her mouth opens wide. "Oh my gosh! Do you remember!?"
"No not everything but I just had a small flashback." I rub both hands on my face, feeling light-headed.
"Of all things, you remember Chi chi." She grumbles, crossing her arms, though I notice a small hint of a smile.
I throw my head back, laughing. "I see why I called you that."
She only smiles in return, a blush forming on her cheeks as she touches her lips. Then as if realising something, she stares at me with a grin. "Happy birthday!"
Shocked, it took me a moment to reply. "I kinda forgot it's my birthday today because you know...the whole coma thing. But thanks."
No one ever remembered my birthday.
|Rose's P.O.V|
That beautiful smile he gave me, was all it took to take my absolute breath away. "I think you should get back to your room." I say breathlessly, eyeing his hand that had an IV attached to it moments ago.
He actually came after me....
And without his IV thing that was hooked to those long poles with wheels and a bag of clear liquid thingy!
I smile, walking back to his hospital room in silence until realisation hit me yet once again.
He'll hate me if he remembers.
Part of me wants him to remember me, yet the other part doesn't.
"You know, I was thinking...." I start as I walk down the east corridor with Alec.
He glances at me in mock shock. "I didn't know you were capable of thinking."
"Hey!" I glare and whack his upper arm. "Anyways, I was thinking of throwing Kyle a welcome back party but like the sensible and appropriate way so my dad approves. So instead of getting drunk off our asses with alcohol, we'll get high with lollies and candy and coke!"
"That might be a problem." He says, stopping to get a drink from a vending machine.
I frown, watching him. "How so?"
"Well for starters, some other chick had already asked the principal and is organising a surprise party for him."
My mouth opens wide. "WHAT!? Just who is this chemically retarded bitch?"
"Dunno, they call her Angel. You know, the one with the red hair and green eyes. I think she's the all time chess champion or something."
My left eye twitches as I glare at the wall ahead. "Angelica. That son of a cactus!"
Yes, as much as I hate to admit, she is naturally smart, gorgeous and beautiful with a body most girls can only dream about whilst stuffing their faces with junk food (aka me) but she was one hell of a backstabbing witch.
And a boyfriend thief!
One time, this girl named Kayla got asked out by this cute sporty guy named Lucas, and the next day, Angelica announces that she may be pregnant with Lucas' super model baby!
I mean how ridiculous is that red head.
Poor Kayla sobbed her heart out all day. Now you see why I call her boyfriend thief.
And now....She's after Kyle!
MY KYLE!
"We have to do something about that thief!" I warn Alec as I grab his hand and drag him with me.
"Do you even know where she is?"
"There's only one heaven for a nerd; the library!"
"Well she's not here." Alec points out. "In fact, no one is here. The library is closed." He says amused, not even attempting to hide his stupid grin.
I roll my eyes, irritated. "Ugh, whatever. Let's get out of here before they lock the door."
Only as I try to pull the door open, the door wont budge. "Oh crap! It's locked!" I panic, pulling the door harder. "Why is the library even closed?" I groan, smashing my fist against the door.
"There's a whole school meeting in five minutes." Alec points out, staring at me blankly.
My head slowly turns to the side so that i'm facing him. "AND YOU DECIDE TO TELL ME THIS NOW?"
He takes a few steps back, chuckling. "Chill, I just remembered hearing an announcement but if you weren't blabbering on for so long, you would have heard it too."
"Great, so we're pretty much stuck in here for at least an hour and a half."
"Looks like it." He shrugs.
"Shut up."
"I was only answering your question."
"It wasn't a question you moron! It was a statement."
"Don't really care."
"Don't make me ruin your face."
"I would like to see you try." He smirks, challenging me.
I grin evilly, slowly stalking towards him. "Oh, you're gonna regret messing with me!" I pounce on him, clinging onto him like a koala hugging a tree and that was as far as my plan went.
"Is that all you're planning to do? Just hanging there?" He questions, lifting me higher from my butt.
"Don't touch the buttocks!" I hiss, baring my teeth at him.
And to further irritate me, he gives my ass a gentle squeeze, causing me to squeal and and thrash in his hold. He ended up loosing balance and collapsing on the floor where my back came in contact with the carpeted ground.
I would of yelled out in pain had it not been for the fact that his face was literally three centimetres away and his grey eyes staring deeply into me like he was about to devour me whole.
