“Nishinoya, I swear, I will roast you alive if you don’t receive the ball,” I bark at my tv. I am watching the match between Karasuno and Aoba Jousei. They already lost once, and my heart can’t handle another loss.
“Come on, Hinata, don’t you want to beat the great king,” I desperately say to my tv screen. I swear this match has already taken five years off my life. When they show, the ball falling in slow motion, my heart stopped.
“Yahoo, come on, guys. Its match point,” I was so concentrated on the game I didn’t see Reed enter the room until he hits me with the pillow.
“Oof,” I cry when the pillow hits my face. I glare at Reed, and he grins.
“Come on, sparkle, mom and dad want us down. They have some important news,” I pause my tv and go downstairs. My heart is thumping because of two main reasons, does Karasuno win? And what is the news?
I see everyon
“So, you guys got the plan, right?” I ask my friends, and they all nod their heads. Reed’s birthday is coming, and I am here in the cafeteria with my friends and Adrian discussing his party.“So, can you explain the plan once again,” Noah asks, not at all looking at me but getting distracted by Ava. I swear he is like a lovesick puppy.“I will take Reed out, and I want you guys to decorate the house while we are gone. His favourite candy is skittles, so make sure to buy a lot of those”.“Mhm hmm,” Noah hums, getting distracted by his ripped jeans. I take a deep breath and close my eyes to stop murdering him.‘Ah, I love Noah. He is the only one who can irritate you so much,’ winter says, smirking.‘Hey, whose side are you on?’ I ask her, offended.‘Not yours’‘You are living inside me, so you have to sup
“We are so sorry. Reed is in a coma,” The doctor delivers the news when we enter the hospital. I sit down with my back to the wall with tears streaming down my face. I am to blame for this.I should have chased him, explained everything. He is my first love. I should have done everything in my power to tell him how much I love him. He must have been heartbroken. He must have thought that I betrayed him.He must have thought that I did the same thing April did and that everything I told him was a lie. What have I done?“You should be thankful that he was wearing a helmet because the truck hit him at full speed, or else he would have died,” The doctor informs us.“I am sorry,” I apologise to Blake and Raven. Their son could have died today, and it would have been my fault. Ryder could have lost his big brother. I look at him, and he is on Andrew’s lap, and Andrew is trying to calm him down.
“Kiara, Reed woke up,” Raven informs me when I am in the middle of class. It’s been a week since Reed has been in a coma.“I will be there in five minutes,” I take Andrew’s hand and pull him out of the class, shouting, 'he woke up,' I run out, but then I halt and go back in.“I am sorry, mam, but this is an emergency,” I say with a grin to my English teacher and run to the parking lot. She is very laid back, so I don’t have to worry about anything other than getting detention.Soon we reach the hospital, and I run to his room. I take a deep breath and go in to see him awake and laughing at something Ryder told him. Most of the bandages are gone except the one on his head and left arm. He does not look pale anymore. I start crying, both happy and sad tears.He finally sees me and smiles. I run to him and hug him tight without touching his left arm. He hugs me back with his right arm. I silently sob. I m
Reed freezes at the sight of April. I put my hand on his shoulder, and he comes to his senses. April invites us inside and gets us some refreshments. I look around and wait for April to join us.“I am grateful that you gave me a chance to see him, Kiara,” April tells me, and I shake my head.“It’s my pleasure,” I tell her with a smile. I look at Reed and see him fuming. Well, anyone would be angry to see their ex-first love. He must think I am an idiot. I put my hand on his thigh to reassure him. He glares at me.“Reed, it's not her fault. I know that you are furious. I would be too if my boyfriend told me that he never loved me,” April says with a pained smile.Calling her beautiful would be an understatement. Her hair is dark black like the midnight sky, and it reaches her waist. Her eyes are ocean blue with naturally big eyelashes.“Reed, if you will give me another chance, I want to explain
It's been a week since Reed got released from the hospital. Everything has been going good. Now I am with Ryder watching, The Conjuring."Why do all these people go inside the room when they know something is wrong? They can see there are ghosts," Ryder mumbles."Beleive me. When you hear sounds weird and strange noises, you automatically go and check what it is. It was two years ago, and it was midnight, and I was reading a book when I heard unusual sounds. Any sane person would hide under the blanket. But me being me, I went to check what it was, shaking the whole way," he chuckles."Do you know what I saw?" I whisper, and he shakes his head."Ducks in the kitchen," I shout, making him scream and laugh."Ducks?" he asks in between chuckles."Yeah, somehow they came to my house from our neighbour's house," I shrug. Raven comes, bringing us snacks."Kiara here," she says, handing me a piece of paper and my favourite candy. I look at h
"Kiara, stop running. I am not in my teenage years to run after you," Raven shouts, chasing me."Never," I shout back, trying to escape from her and the monster."I am never coming near that monster," I tell her and run around the room."Kia, how many times do I have to tell you. It is called makeup and not a monster," she states, reaching out her hands to catch me. I successfully evade the attack."Come on repeat after me. It is makeup and not a monster," Raven says, slowly as if she is teaching a child. I was going to repeat, then I remember, that I am not a kid. Well played, Raven."Nope, I am not going to wear makeup," I finally tell her. I am acting a bit overdramatic, but I am not wearing that on my face. Never.They make my skin so dry and itchy. I want to enjoy my date with Reed, not keep itching and squirming because it feels uncomfortable.Suddenly the door opens, and my best friends barge in. They are all in black as if the
I wake up with a gasp as I feel ice-cold water running down my back. I look at the culprit and find my brother grinning at me from one ear to another."KEITH," I shout and chase him. He is laughing as he runs down the stairs. While running, I see Reed and Ryder laughing at us.Wait. Reed and Ryder? What? Then everything clicks. Keith is here in America."Keith," I squeal, jumping to hug him. He puts his arms around me to hug me back."Took your dumb brain long enough to work," he says as everyone else chuckles. I hug him tighter. He is here, and I had no clue."Andrew, you have competition now," Reed informs Andrew."Hey, I have competition too," Ryder pouts, trying to glare at Keith. They will get along well.Two of them huddle together to plot against Keith, and he laughs."How?" I ask him."Well, it's your graduation present," he tells me, grinning.Yeah. I am graduating along with Reed, Andrew, and all m
“KIARA, TIME TO WAKE UP,” Keith shouts in my ear. I open my eyes and see all the four boys in my room. Reed has a guitar, Ryder has a toy piano, and Andrew has a trumpet. I don’t even want to know where they got it.I lie back down and cover my ears with a pillow. It has been happening for about three days now. I think God hates me so much that he made me live with four boys. Three brothers and my boyfriends. Sigh.‘I feel bad for you,’ I hear winter tell me.‘Hey, I actually missed you. Where were you all this time?’‘I think the author forgot about me,’‘Author?’ I ask confused.‘Never mind. I am here now. Don’t think that I like you or anything just because I feel bad for you,’‘I wouldn’t dream of it. I like this hate-hate relationship between us,’ I say, imagining us being lovey. E
