Chapter Twenty-Seven Destiney All I can see is darkness, I hear voices, but all I can see is darkness. What the hell happened? Where am I? I need to wake up, but I can’t seem to open my eyes. Why is this so hard. I need to wake up and get to school, I need to find Keegan and Hannah. I need to find them and figure out what is going on. Before I have a chance to try and do anything I start to hear voices. “When do you think she will wake up?” I know that voice. That is my mom. Why is she asking when I will wake up? I am right here. I am awake, mom! I’m right here. I’m trying to open my eyes mom, please. “I’m not sure, it could be today or tomorrow. It’s just a matter of when her body is ready to let her wake up.” I don’t recognize that voice. This person seems smart. What the hell happened to me. Why can’t I wake up? “Thank you, Doctor.” I guess it was a doctor, that must mean I’m in the hospital, but why would I be in the hospital. But what could have happened to put me in the
Chapter Twenty-Eight Destiney Hannah walks over to me and gives me a smile and a small, gentle hug and tells me she is going to take off and will collect my schoolwork from the last few days and the next couple days that I am here. Then as she walks out the door it occurs to me that she said for the last few days. But before I have a chance to ask, my mom comes out with words of her own. “Oh Destiney, I’m so glad your awake. We missed you so much.” “Thanks mom, but I was wondering, how long have I been out?” They all look at each other like they don’t want to tell me, but I can tell by the look they give each other that they are hesitant to tell me. “Mom! How long have I been asleep? What happen? What is going on? What aren’t you telling me?” “Destiney, sweetheart, when Keegan and Hannah found you in a closet at school, they immediately notified us and the emergency services and they brought you here, but that was…Well honey, it was three days ago.” “THREE DAYS?!?!?” What the
Chapter Twenty-Nine Keegan When I left Destiney at the hospital the other day, I couldn’t help but feel worried about the way she looked. She looked…hopeless, worried, and just down and upset. I need to make sure she knows that nothing is going to happen to her, and I am going to get to the bottom of what happen to her. Jasmine is not going to get away with this. I refuse to let that happen. When Destiney told me the other day that she didn’t need me to stay with her I couldn’t help the hurt that I felt in my heart, and when I went back the next couple days to see her, she refused to see me, she wouldn’t let me in to see her. I am feeling heartbroken right now, it makes me think that maybe she blames me for what happen to her and with everything that has happened, I can’t help but feel responsible too. If I never would have started paying attention to her and if I would have kept a closer eye on Jasmine, she never would have gotten the jump on Destiney. So maybe I actually am respo
Chapter Thirty Keegan When I get a better sense of what my mood is like I try to control my anger when I address Tanner, I plan to find out if she had anything to do with this, she is going wish she never met me or Jasmine for that matter. “Tanner, I think it’s time you leave. You have no reason to be here anyway, you are Jasmine’s friend not Destiney’s, and if I find out you had anything to do with what happen to her, you will go down just like Jasmine is. That is a promise. You know how I love to keep my promises.” When she hears my words, she takes an audible gulp and falters in her steps backing away from Destiney and when she looks back to Destiney, I clear my throat again to make sure she knows I’m still here. Then she rolls her eyes and makes her way to the door and looks back to Destiney. “Remember what I said.” When I look back to Destiney, she looks a bit shaken and I make my way to her to see if she is okay, and she shakes her head at me, telling me to stay away. “Bab
Chapter Thirty-One Destiney I can’t believe Keegan told me he loves me. I never thought I would hear that from anyone, let alone Keegan. I hope he means it; I can’t wait to get out of here and get back to normal life. I sill still have this stupid cast on my leg, and it will make things hard getting around and what not, but at least I am alive, and I have my family. I start to feel myself falling asleep and I start to drift off, but before I get too into my sleep, I hear the door to my room open and I am a bit surprised because I am not expecting anyone else to come see me tonight, and when I look over to see who comes in, the blood in my body instantly runs cold. “What are you doing here?” “Whatever do you mean? I came to check on you and see how you’re feeling. I heard about the terrible accident you had. I heard someone attacked you and did this to you.” “Cut the shit Jasmine, You and I both know you did this. Or you at least had someone do it to me. I know you had something
Chapter Thirty-Two Four Days Later Destiney It’s been a few days and I have been home for two of those four days and I am so grateful to be home and I made sure to give the recording I made of Jasmine to my parents, and I am glad that I did because it really helped them to build evidence against her to make sure that she is held accountable for her actions. Keegan has been by to see me every day since and my parents even let him stay the night with me the first night so he could help them take care of me and help me to get around the house when I need to. Keegan has been so sweet to help me get around the house, he won’t even let me get up except to use the bathroom or to stretch my legs for a short time. But I must admit I don’t like to get up too often because it takes too much work, especially since I have this cast on more than half my leg. But either way Keegan has been a big help to me and my parents. Hannah has been coming by to see me every day too. She has been bringing m
Chapter Thirty-Three Keegan I can feel the light trying to shine through into my eyes and I feel the warmth of the sun on my face, I can also feel the warmth of something else all along my body. This is strange because normally when I’m in my bed, I’m the only one in my bed. When I manage to open my eyes and I see beautiful, long dark hair draped along my arm and when I look to see the face of the beauty laying on my chest, I can’t keep the smile off my face. I must have fallen asleep last night laying here watching a movie with Destiney. She was finally able to come home after a few weeks in the hospital after her attack, and it still makes mad to think that someone could be so hateful towards her to do this to her. I know Jasmine had something to do with it, we just need to use the evidence Des got when Jasmine went to confront her in the hospital to get her a proper punishment for her actions. When I hear little moans and groans from the beauty next to me, I look at her face a
Chapter Thirty- Four Keegan When I make it back to Destiney, she gives me a look that asks what that was about, and I gently throw my arm over her shoulder and kiss her forehead and tell her that she doesn’t need to worry about it. That I am hers and I always will be for as long as she will have me. We make our way back out to the main hall and towards our lockers to swap out the books for the next class. After we all swap out or books, we slowly make our way to the next class and I’m thankful we all have this class together. It gives me peace of mind because I can keep an eye of Destiney and I can’t wait to be done with today and take my girl home to relax and cuddle up with her in bed. Once all the classes are done and over with, we all make our way out to the parking lot, and I help Destiney into my truck, and I put her crutches in the back and I turn to Trevor and Tyler. “Hey, so you guys want to come over and hang out, maybe order a pizza and watch a movie or something? I kn
