A Gentle Disease (Joel Hokka)

(3) Made Of Stone

Sonja

I followed Joel into the building, while my feet shuffled along with him and I sighed. I was so fucking tired right now. My legs were hurting, I just wanted to sleep so badly.

"We're here!" Joel says, while I heard loud chattering. I didn't like this.

"Joel can I please go?" I whisper to him, I was dreading it. Until I heard a familiar voice call out to me.

"Sonja you came!" Aleksi says while smiling at me, he rushed over to me and scooped me up in a hug. I wrapped my arms around him, it felt nice to feel the affection.

"I really didn't want to...But someone dragged me out here. My bed feels quite comfortable." I whispered to the black haired one. He pulls me toward the couch, Niko gives me a hug too.

I sat in between Niko and Aleksi, Joel went over to the fluffy blonde haired one, the sandy curly haired one and the tall brown haired guy.

"So Sonja? I'm Joonas!" Says the fluffy curly blonde haired one and then he points to the sandy curly haired one.

"That's Olli!" He says and I shook Olli's hand, he smiles. I saw Joonas introduce the tall brown haired one.

"That's Tommi our facts man!" Joonas says and I laughed. The boys were talking and having a beer and they gave me.

"Uh I don't drink I'm straight edge." I said and the six boys got silent. It's just I didn't like the idea of drinking because due to this condition, I liked to be aware and alert of my surroundings.

"How the fuck can you stay sober and deal with emotions?" Joonas asks me, well it was a good point but it's something that was a fear of mine! It's not like I can run away could I?

"It's personal reasons I guess." I said feeling uncomfortable, I sighed while playing with the can of Cola. I wished I could party, and let loose but it's just being a person with cerebral palsy was something that I had to take care of myself.

"So what do you do?" Tommi asks me, while his blue eyes scan me.

"I'm actually masters student getting my degree in Forensic Psychology. My dream is to be a criminal profiler and hopefully work at Scotland Yard or FBI." I said. The boys were intrigued.

"Wow you're orientated to what you want in life." Niko says taking a sip of his beer bottle. I made sure to dodge any person questions.

"So do you have a boyfriend or anyone in your life?" Olli asks me and I looked at him and sighed.

"Uh honestly...I don't have the time for a relationship. I study my degree then work at the record store and then I'm training." I said, didn't want them to ask questions.

I needed an excuse to leave, but they were so nice and all. I kind of was enjoying their company. But fuck of my mother came and saw these men, she would not approve. Well maybe she would approve of Olli and Tommi. But as for Niko, Joel, Aleksi and Joonas no she wouldn't.

Speaking of my mum, I got a phone call from her. I stood up and excused myself, stepping out on the balcony.

"Deda menatrebi!" I said into the phone.

"Mec menatrebi chemi gogo! Rogora xar?" She asks me and I sighed.

"Ravi kargad var." I tell her. We spoke a little bit and I told her about my MRI that I was waiting for my results and along with the exercises.

I sighed and I could hear them talking about me.

"She seems nice...But have you noticed her walking?" Joonas asks the guys and they all nodded in agreement.
