After days of school and no sign of Helen I come to the conclusion that I really must have messed up her face and that makes my cover my mouth to hold back the grin I feel tugging at the corners of my mouth but reality sets in when I remember tonight’s the night that I have to go to that god forsaken wedding.
When I finally spot Dania I see her eyes narrowed at someone and she pulls her lip into a snarl and I see that she’s completely serious and it starts to me curious because Dania is never serious. As I stride forward I see the blonde Helen in front of her and I instantly feel my fist clench but instead of Dania cowering like last time her face is whipped of all emotion as she talks to the now furious Helen.
I don’t say anything when I step up and survey the two because I want to see how Dania can handle herself without my help and she doesn’t even see me. I cross my arms over my chest as I look back and forth between them as people rush by them in the hallway.
“Helen, you know the rules.” Dania said quietly and she stares as Helen as if she’s nothing more than scum under her feet. “He will not forgive you if you think of hurting her.” For once I’m not as sure as I was of Dania because right now I’m not even sure this actually is the Dania I know. This woman in front of myself looks at Helen with ancient eyes and she holds herself like she’s royalty.
“How do you think he will feel when he finds out you let his precious little Kore fight?” She snarled with a smile that promised nothing but hell. “Or how you’ve been hiding her essence this whole time he has been looking for her in this lifetime?” She snarled with hate filled eyes and now I decide I really shouldn’t be hearing this so instead I turn and walk away neither of them realizing that I heard any of what they had said.
Dread filled my stomach though as I sunk into my seat and stared at the English board at the front of the class. For some reason the name Kore strikes a cord and I didn’t like the tune one bit it filled me with sadness and pain but for another, I know it was me they were talking about. When the warning bell rings and I see a flash of red hair as Dania sinks into the seat beside me with her trade mark grin on her face.
I don’t see any traces of her earlier seriousness and her outlandish attitude but I’m not stupid enough to just forget about it because that’s where most people fail. I wasn’t going to obsess about it but yet I wasn’t going to forget about it either, Dania wasn’t entitled to tell me all of her secrets because I knew she had her own crosses to bare and so do I.
But none the less I still feel a pain were my heart should be because I know this is something monumentally big. Instead of talking to her like I usually would though I just face forward and tug at my still split lip that I’ve been able to hide with some lip gloss and I let my fingers flutter over my cheek that’s covered in makeup to hide the bruising. I know that this was my cross to bare.
When the period ends I’m out of my seat and heading to my car since all my classes are done but this time I don’t wait for Dania but I apparently wasn’t fast enough because she calls my name and I’m forced to look up because the parking lot is empty and her voice easily echo’s.
“I have a doctor’s appointment and I can’t be late.” I called out as I slide into the plush leather of my cars interior. I’m not technically lying since I am actually in a rush to get to the doctor’s office because I detest being late. I purposefully back out and pass her but I don’t look because all I see when I look at her is those eyes that were too old and to knowing and all I get is a sick sense of forgetfulness.
When I get to the clinic and am waiting in a chair that makes me sit ramrod straight as I leaf through a magazine until I’m finally called but the doctor is taking way to long and I know the results of my test cannot be good. So when I’m finally called into the doctors to bright room and I sit down on another straight backed chair that hurts my ass to look at him and his crestfallen face. I know that I’m not going to like what he has to say.
And I don’t, when he finally tells me I just chuckle as he looks at me with a bewildered expression.
“I think I should call your-“He begins but I quickly stop my dark mirthless laughter.
“Think again.” I mutter as he raises one white thick brushy brow in question. “I am 18 and therefore am my own adult. I do not permit you to exclude any information on this.” My voice sounds too old and I can’t help but think of Dania.
“But Ms. Demotts there is treatment options availed.” He tries pleading but instead of answering him I just give his a small watery smile.
“I don’t want it.” I swallowed thickly and think of the life I will never have now. “I don’t want to prolong the inevitable, besides I don’t think I can put Ethan through that because as you have so kindly told me the treatment would give me a year at most but I am afraid that’s a year more of sickness that I can take.” I smiled at him and then do finally let a tear fall but I quickly wipe it away.
“What about your parents?” He asked.
“There is nothing anybody can do right? I don’t want to ruin the short time I have left with them and I don’t want them to suddenly change around me.” I smile fully for one with all of my straight white teeth because I don’t actually know how many more times I’ll be able to smile like this.
“If that’s what you really wish. I want to meet every week to see how this progresses and here are some pain pills.” He wrote something down on a piece of paper and handing it to me.
I smile and leave after giving him a hug because I needed to go get ready for that wedding mentally arguing with myself and laughing silently as I reasoned a dying person should get out of whatever she wants.
Tonight, all I was going to do was hold Ethan and drinks to my heart’s content of wine.
(A/N Whats wrong with her? *laughs evily* This is were the turning point is. Actually had some time on my hands and decided all of my faithfull readers could use another dose of Gabriella.)
