NORA“Post-operative sedation.”Was what the doctor told us when we arrived at the hospital. According to him, Jordan is in a deep state of sleep that can last for several days. Even though that wasn’t what I was expecting, that still renewed my hope. From the look of things, he wasn’t only shot once and he must be so lucky he escaped death.“You three can leave. We will stay here.” Nathan voiced, when we all stepped out the patient’s room Jordan was in. I wished I could reject his offer and stay with them alongside but Liam will murder me. “I’ll drop you off.” I told Natalie as Lucan and I start to walk out of the hospital. Natalie nodded wordlessly and that was when I remembered I wanted to ask her in private what the awkwardness around Lucan was about. “Wait a minute.” I held onto Natalie’s hand before she could enter the backseat. She was confused by the gesture but I led her to a safe distance from Lucan nevertheless.I fold my hands together before pointedly looking behind a

LUCANI was indeed engulfed in my phone’s screen but that was until Nora came in. We exchanged greetings and she took the seat directly opposite me, her attention on Jordan’s body as usual. I seriously was about taking my eyes off her for a second until I caught her reaching out to hold Jordan’s hand. She must have notified my stare, a reason why she instantly withdrew her hand before it could even touch Jordan. I wanted to let her know she could touch him all she wants because I am in no way hindering her from caring for him but, I kept mute. Would be better I explain nothing. Everything went back to normal after that until she started making some absurd movement on the chair she’s seated in. The exact same symptoms I have been told she displays but have never witnessed. It’s here now, but somehow I feel uncomfortable. Her eyes dawned on me under no time. She was like the predator and I, the prey. I immediately set on my feet and started moving back, those emotions in her eyes sp

NORAI was expecting a lot more of things to happen the next day but this wasn’t part of it. I never expected to step out of the gate and positioned was the almost unrecognizable man. I’ve somehow forgotten what he his name was and aside that, I knew the man before me wasn’t supposed to be here? “Where’s he?” After a few seconds, he struck me with his questions and I got pretty much confused. “You seriously don’t know where your son is?” I lowly said beck and his hands dug deep into the pockets of his dark jeans.“I don’t have all the time in the world, young lady.” He expressed his impatience and I was completely taken aback. “Whoever told you something happened to him should at least tell you where he is at.” I nervously cleared my throat and murmured. Those eyes has a visible perfect of resemblance to Jordan’s. I wouldn’t have known he even has a father if I hadn’t came across him on my first day of school. His callous face was now hosting fear in me somehow, and I traced his

NORAThe first thing that alerted me of there presence was the bickering occurring inside of Jordan’s hospital room. If they are at least going to hit their heads off, shouldn’t they do it outside? Happens that I received a text from Nathan and Rodney who apparently can’t be at the hospital today, I had to come faster and stay with Jordan but as fate would have it, Sawyer and the man were already inside the hospital, making a hell of noise. I made to enter when their conversation suddenly began to pique my interest. “At least have a little conscience.” I heard Sawyer say, her voice lowered only at that part, but I still managed to catch unto what she said. “Conscience? When he got me where I am? Do you know how many more years I still have left to use at the jail?” The man snapped. I knew I was trending upon a dangerous ground but I was too curious. “You’ll finally get out of it, Jasper. As long as you don’t commit another crime, and know this, I’m not saying this because I am s

NORAI stared at Frida who also stared back at me. If I am not mistaken and haven’t got the calculation wrong, it’s been over seven years since I’ve seen her. Apparently, we were best friends.“What’s she doing here?” I looked over at Liam and asked him. It wasn’t hard to tell that her been here is his handiwork. “She transferred schools.” He made mention and shrugged like it was nothing new. “If she transferred schools, why then is she here?” I asked him and I watched him rub his forehead, looking fed up of my queries. “She transferred to yours.” I choked on thin air at his admission, he possibly can’t be serious. Seven years ago, it was all rosy and a sunshine for both Frida and I until she had to transfer to a real costly school somewhere far away so now I’m confused, she can’t be here if something hadn’t went wrong with her family. Bankrupted, perhaps? “What for?” I sat upright on my seat. “To follow you here and there.” He shrugged his shoulders yet again a nonchalant smil

NORA“Don’t get too close, it might burn you!” I shrieked. For a moment, my heart almost flew out of its rib cage when Jordan reached his hand towards the red flame. I don’t know why he did it but by the look of things, he seems to be seeking my reaction. “It wasn’t even your hand and you’re this scared.” He said and I glared at him, until he finally shifted back. I then sighed. “It might be yours but those fingers are serving me too. They are pretty much precious, as you can see.” I defended, hearing his playful snort from behind me as I turned and placed the pot on fire. “Good to know you’re becoming obsessed with my fingers, while yours are right there.” He stated and I couldn’t agree more. Those fingers of his are pretty much marvelous and a necessary price to be won each time. It still would have been under me if Jordan hadn’t expressed his hunger, he insisted on going right out to get us food but to make it quicker, I stopped him.I’ll just finish the cooking and we go back

LUCANThis would be the first time I witnessed Nora’s anger. She must have thought I went my own way as soon as we departed but I was right there behind her, like I have always been even from the very first day she stepped into this school. I made sure to put enough distance between us as I carefully followed her into the store room. And since she was going there to let out some rage, I decided it’s better I don’t capture this. So I lowered my camera, and watched her from a distance- but close enough to hear them. “Okay, what’s going on here?” Nora disrupted their moments and by them, I mean jordan and Cassidy.Even though Nora was angry, she tried not to show it and held herself high. Those qualities are nothing but graceful to my eyes. And if not that I have my eyes on Cassidy already, I would downright let myself fall head over heels for Nora. “What do you mean what’s going on here? Your eyes are tinted or what?” Cassidy scoffed and worked on her manicured nails, while raising

NORAThe next week was hell in our abode.One thing was bribing Liam not let his mouth slip, another thing was him logically robbing me of my allowance even though he has more than enough. All in one, I dare not leave him home with my parents. ‘’Shouldn’t this past days be in the history? I’m amazed.’’ Liam teased from across his office desk, flipping through the solid evidence in his hands. I won’t lie, I feel uncertain and at the same time curious of how those daily pictures of my here and there at school somehow happens to land in his hand.‘’You were never this scary.’’ I peered up at him from the tip of my glasses, before slamming shut the pretendiousmagazine in my my hand, and bolting up my feet. Anyone can see I was done with the pretense. ‘’You made me this way.’’ He replied, quicklyputting thephotos back in its wrapper and slidding it into his drawer. He made sure to safe keep them before I could reach him.‘’No, I didn’t. There is nothing going on between me and Jordan,
