Him and I (Our Abrupt Engagement)

Chapter 19

Cause you'll be safe in these arms of mine
Just call my name on the edge of the night
I will run to you........

I will run you if you want me to
Just give me some kind of reason
I will take the pain
Take it all way.....

Run to you-Lea Michele.

I walked through the hospital grounds later in the evening for fresh air. My mom's operation had been successful but she was still unconscious. I was only thinking about what pain she would go through.

I had seen her sad the first we lost my brother. Though I think I was too young to understand,I knew her and dad went through a tough time and here it was again.

"You're not friends with us anymore." Lexi had snickered with her friends.

I didn't believe her and thought she was playing some sort of sick game.

Every other day at school was like that. I got bullied by my own friends till one day.

I was walking up to Lexi who was on one of the swings in our pre_school grounds.

"Hey Lexi." I called out to her. She didn't answer me so I sat down right in the swing next to hers.

"What do you want? I don't like you anymore." She said bluntly.

I persisted and stayed there but her friends came by. One of the cunningly started pushing my swing. I was enjoying it so I didn't complain but it did not last.

I was still swinging mid air when one of her strong friends pushed me off the swing and I landed on my face.

I cried as everyone ran away from me. It hadn't done alot of damage but just a bleeding nose.

My dad picked me up from school but he gasped when he saw me,I was crying with a wounded nose.

"Baby what's wrong?" He asked as he put me in the passenger seat.

I had Only cried. Once we got home, my depressed mother smiled weakly at me but it disappeared when she saw me crying.

I told them everything, they called in to school but it didn't help.

My mom's depression had taken over the situation. "No, I can't lose my baby." My mom cried out to my dad.

"Do you want to go back?" My dad asked me.

But as the kid I was, I thought it was wise not to go back.

My parents said we had to move, to forget everything and to protect me.

Now that I thought about everything I blamed myself. If I hadn't been weak, we would have stayed behind and not moved.

This time, I didn't plan on breaking down every little we had built up here just in a few weeks. I was going to keep strong and make sure my mom went through this.

They always thought moving away from memories was away to get rid of them. It had always helped but this time, i had made more friends, my parents' business had succeeded so much.

I owed it to myself and to them to make them feel better for one without moving. I was the first cause of the moving and I promised to be the end of it.

I wiped my tears as it was starting to get dark outside. I walked back to the hospital.

My dad lay his head on my mom's lap and both of them slept soundly. It hurt that they had been trying but this was they always got in the end.
