you collapsed. He hasn’t stopped crying.” She said.

“Okay then, bye. See you later.” I said as she bent down and kissed my forehead.

Just then, my dad came in.

“Hi dad,” I said.

“Hi baby. Are you okay? How’re you feeling, ” he asked.

“Yeah. I’m fine. Just some little pain.” I said.

He hadn’t noticed Jake till my mom introduced him.

“I’m so sorry sweetie but I can’t stay. I have to go back where I was with your mother and finish some things.” He said.

“It’s okay dad, at least you’re here now.” I said.

I’ve never understood what my dad works on and I’ve never bothered asking.

“No baby, it’s not okay that I’m travelling and my baby is on a hospital bed.” He said lifting my hand into his own.

“But mom’s gonna be here so there’s no problem.” I said.

“Okay, enough of the chit chatting, let’s go and see Mike. I’ll be back after I take your father back to the airport.” My mom said.

“ Okay.” I said and they left so that it was only Jake and I.

“So your dad is the new ‘partner’ my dad has been talking about.” I started.

“I suppose so.” He said. “Why are you going to have an operation?”

“The nurse says I have appendicitis so my apparently my appendix has to be cut.” I told him.

“Ohh… I also had the same problem once when but I was a freshman.” He said.

“How was it?” I asked, “ Can you please help me up? I’m tired of lying on my back.” I added.

He held my hand and lifted me into a sitting position. “Thanks.” I said.

“ The pain was awful at first but I didn’t feel anything during and after the operation.”

“I had been feeling this pain earlier even when I was at your house but I never thought it was something serious so I brushed it off.” I said.

“I didn’t notice anything,” He asked.

“It’s because I didn’t show even when you were driving me home. That’s why I didn’t look back when you dropped me. I was almost crying and didn’t want you to see me.” I said.

“ I thought it was because I kissed you,” he said.

“No, I actually liked it.” I did not just say that aloud. What has come over me?

“What? And the way you looked surprised after,” he said looking at me surprisingly. I was even embarrassed to look at him so I just faced the wall and smiled.

“It’s because I’ve never kissed anyone before.” I said. My face was turning pale due to me blushing but I didn’t want him to notice so I turned to the wall. He has this effect on me that even I cannot explain.

“Why not? Forgive me for saying this but you’re so pretty and sexy. Any guy would die to have you.” He said.

“I guess I’m the one not interested.” I said.

“Why are you not interested in guys?” he asked. I didn’t expect such a question from him but I answered him any way. I don’t know I’m being so open to him now.

“I don’t know, I guess I’m waiting for the right guy,” I said.

“ May I?” he said asking if he could hold my hand and I nodded. He moved beside me on the bed and leaned over to me and soon his lips were pressing against mine again. I didn’t push him because I didn’t have the energy to do so and for some reason, I was longing for this. He again asked for access to my mouth and I gave him. His tongue evaded my mouth as mine evade his. I was the first one to pull out and asked,

“Why did you do that?” I asked confused with myself.

“There’s something about your lips that every time I look at them I just can’t control it. I’m really sorry.” He said moving back to the chair beside my bed.

“Ouch…” I cried as the pain crossed my stomach again as I tried to lie down.

“What’s wrong?” he asked as he moved back to the bed.

“I was trying to lie down, I’m really tired. I wanna sleep.” I said as he helped me lie down.

“Are you just gonna stay there?” I asked noticing that he went back to sit down.

“I guess it will be fun watching you sleep and besides your parents left me to look after you.” He said.

“Suit yourself.” I said and went to sleep.

11. My first love

 

I was in a certain room full of doctors with their faces covered in masks. There were also a lot of machines in the room. I then realized that I was in the operation room and got so scared.

“I’m I gonna die?” I asked out loud.

“It’s just an operation and we have the most skilled surgeons of all time.” On e of the doctors cared to answer while others just minded their businesses.

“ Just tell me. Am I gonna die,” I said tears running down my cheeks. I was so scared.

“Just hold on, everything will be okay,” Another doctor replied since the other one had left.

I kept on asking the same question again and again. I never knew death could be so near.

“This won’t hurt,” A nurse said as she injected me with some medicine. I think it was a sleeping pill because everything was a blur from the. Now I really thought I was going to die so I started crying.

“Please don’t let me die,” I said to the nurse holding my hand.

“Everything will just be…” I didn’t hear anything else as I fell into a deep sleep.

 

I woke up the next day (or atleast I thought so) and the pain was gone but I couldn’t feel my stomach. I moved my hand to it and it was there but I couldn’t feel it on me. When I opened my eyes, my mom was there with Mike and Tasha.

 

“Hey sweetie how was the operation?” My mom asked.

“You mean I really had it?” I asked surprised.

“Yeah. You had it last week but you were sleeping so you didn’t even notice them transfer you to another room.” She said. I looked around and noticed that I was in a different room.

“I barely noticed anything. All I can remember is I fell asleep and some doctors moving around me in a room then someone injected me and now when I woke up.” I said. I could barely move so my mom helped me sit up.

 

They made jokes and made me laugh at all times. They stayed only for a while but it had started to grow dark outside. Some food was brought to me and when I opened it, it was only some soup and I was only supposed to eat that for three weeks since my stomach couldn’t take any solid food yet. After some hours, a nurse came and said that visiting hours are over and that they should leave. My mom tried to plead to be let to stay but they couldn’t allow that. She gave me a sleeping pill but I didn’t take it. I hid it in my mouth and took it out when she left.

 

The door opened and someone entered so I pretended to be asleep.

“I know you’re not asleep,” I heard the person say. I turned around and it was, Jake.

“How did you know that?” I asked.

“I just know you didn’t take your pills.” He said.

“How do you know that,” I asked again.

“Have you forgotten I was in the same position once?” he asked sitting next to me. Yeah right, how could I forget that?

“But I’m not like you.” I said.

“Don’t pretend to be a good girl, I know how bad those pills are.” He said as we both chuckled in agreement.

“So how did it go?” he asked.

“Just like you said, I barely noticed anything.” I said.

He moved his hand on my stomach and I felt it tickle a bit but still couldn’t feel my stomach in its place.

“How does that feel?” he asked.

“Good. It tickles but I can barely feel my stomach.”

“ My mom did that to me when I was from the operation too.”

“ Is she at home now?”

“No. She died two weeks after I was discharged.”

“OMG…I’m really sorry.”

“No. You don’t have to be.” He said and I noticed a tear at the corner of his eye. I wiped it off and looked at his beautiful face. It doesn’t feel right for such beauty to be spoilt with tears.

“I think I do…It’s what friends are for.” I said.

“Friends?” he asked surprised.

“Yeah…I figured the least I could do after you saved my life is be your friend.”

“I was wondering why you even let me stay considering how much you hated me,”

“ I never hate anyone, just that you really provoked me.” I said.

“Oh really…” he said and I yawned. “ You should probably sleep now.” He said.

“Yeah… I should.” I said and pulled the cover to my chest.

“Sleep well,” he said.

“Thanks.” I then fell asleep almost suddenly.

 

 

 

12.My first love

 

*Jake

She fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. She looks so peaceful in her sleep, just like a baby. I moved forward and touched her face but she didn’t notice. She has been so beautiful ever since the first day I saw her at the party. She has the perfect figure any girl would want and any guy would like. I can remember how it felt he night I slept next to her after the party. She said that I was her first kiss, but she was so good when we kissed the first and second time. I kept on thinking about all those as I watched her sleep. She turned and faced me so now I could see all her face. She is so beautiful, I wish I could be able to lie next
