CHAPTER 24FLAT LINEMount Sinai Hospital North Carolina, USANovember 7, 2020“You will be okay.”“You will be alright as soon as this whole thing is over.”Judy says those words to her daughter’s ear.“You’re going to surpass this and you will live. I know you will.”Judy kisses America’s forehead a few minutes before her operation.“Baby please come back home to us.” She tries to stop her tears from falling. “Please wake up and never stop fighting for your life.”Aaron holds his daughter’s hand, “I know you’re stronger than this Merry. We are all waiting for you. Do you hear that Merry? Your mom and dad are waiting for you.”Charles stared at America before he leans over her ears, “Please wake up Merry. Please don’t give up just yet. Please allow me to apologize to you. Please.”America was then delivered to the operating room as soon as she was ready for the operation.The operating room which will be used for America’s craniotomy has been prepared by the nurses and they have fin

CHAPTER 26GOOD CHANGEA M E R I C A It has been five months since the first time I came here in LUAHU and a lot has changed within our lives especially in my part. It was a good change that I never thought I would need. Although, I am still happily dating Harry, I managed to unlock a very nice achievement in my life that I can be so proud of after days of working hard on it. I finally know how to catch a wave, surf on my own and do a few easy tricks which were taught by Harry and Diana. I have been surfing with them a lot and my oh my, but my skin has gotten a lot tanner than before but I loved it.Basically, all of our lives changed since we all had jobs on the island.Zion got a little busy with his new job as a barista in a drinking place by the beach during Wednesday, Fridays to Sundays. Neal became a full-time performer in one of the island’s high class restaurant and he seems to enjoy it so much. He even asked Harry to perform with him but Harry was too busy as well.Olivia

CHAPTER 28COMING INTO THE LIGHTH A R R Y White.The moment I opened my eyes, I saw nothing but white.I found myself lying down on a white ground and there was a white high ceiling over me. It seemed unreachable and resembled much like the clouds. My eyes looked around calmly and found myself inside a room with white high walls but literally had no windows and no doors. There were only endless four walls and I felt alone in here but it felt nice to be lying on this ground.The entire place seemed a little bright and it felt surprisingly warm. The ground felt comforting as I lay here staring at nothing but whiteness. The place was unfamiliar but it felt wonderful, really wonderful, as it was calming me down. The whole place smelled like a garden of fresh flowers but there was no flower in sight. I like lying down here and not moving because this felt nice.Finally, I pulled myself up and realized that I was wearing a white hospital gown and I was barefoot. I carefully examined the l

CHAPTER 30HEART’S CONTENTA M E R I C A “I love it.” I tell Harry as I pulled myself away from him.He stares at me, “I thought you were going to say things are going too fast.”I smile at my handsome boyfriend, “Things are always fast with you and I am no longer complaining. I am catching up with the pace and I don’t want to let it go.”Harry smiles back at me, “I am so happy to hear that.”He takes my hand, “Let’s go inside and check the entire house.”I nod excitedly as I squeezed onto his hand a little bit. The house was massive only for the two of us but the thought of starting a new life with Harry in this safe haven is making me feel too overwhelmed. It’s something I would want with him too and I have never been this happy.The house was painted in white, it had a little patio on the front with a small swing made in furnished wood which had a colored cushion on it. There was a wondrous front yard shore that was a vast powder-like white sand which leads to the beautiful calm s

CHAPTER 32FIND YOUH A R R Y My heart was beating abnormally.“You have got to say yes.” Diana puts pressure.I was still kneeling in front of her feeling a little bit more convinced that I was definitely going to be rejected but it was fine. I understand America and I know she does not probably wants things to go fast as marriage.America smiles as little tears escapes her eyes, “Yes Harry. I will marry you.”All the tension that was running all over my body was drained the moment she finally answered and I felt my whole knees weaker probably from kneeling down the whole time or maybe from feeling relieved. I smiled happily as I slipped the handmade ring through her ring finger before she leans over me and kisses my lips deeply. The gang kept cheering for us and clapping happily for our new journey as a couple in the future. We stand on our feet and hugged each other as tight as we could and I know this was going to be something tremendously incredible that I can look forward to.I
