Shine Extra Large

MAYBE

Days went by, I was laying on my hospital bed, with my mind blank. Nothing. No thoughts running. I just stared at the clear blue sky. Suddenly, I hear myself unconsciously calling out "Dad". A soft voice. I was surprised myself. I did not do it, it just came out. I sighed taking a deep breath. My wrists are almost recovered. Mother decided to send me away from all this to a far away place, so I can regain myself.

I slowly got up and walked towards the small sink in my hospital ward. I looked up in the mirror that was placed right above it. I lost weight. Not much, but anyone could tell the difference. I let out a deep breath, trying not to cry out. Splashing some water on my face, I look at my reflection again. I can't call myself pathetic anymore.

All my life I thought, people who are beautiful... Born with a pretty face and a perfect body, they have the easiest life, but after hearing Zachary that day, my whole perspective changed. Even though what they did was wrong, maybe only if he told me what's going on in his mind, maybe I would have helped him. Given my company temporarily to him just to put on a show for his father. Maybe we could have worked out that way?

Maybe...

I heard a slight knock on my door, my mom came in along with Evelyn and Noah. They look good together. I smiled seeing my sister in the arms of that boy. Evelyn maybe rude and sometimes disrespectful, she is not bad at heart. She chose a good guy. Noah isn't the son of some big CEO or anything. Just an ordinary boy with exceptionally handsome looks.

My mom hugged me, with some papers in her hand. "Doctor said, you can go home", she smiled to which I just nodded. Then I see Levi coming in with a bunch of very familiar dudes.

" ELEANORRR!!!!" They all scream, with half teary faces. I let out a small laugh seeing them with flowers, chocolates and loads of junk food. Maybe it's time to get back in shape again.

We all talked for a while, Caleb cracked some really lame jokes, to which we faked laughed so he doesn't feel bad, but he knew so that's fine. For some reason my eyes always landed on the door frame.

I was expecting someone. I was there with people who loved me, but- just maybe. A small possibility of maybe.

I looked back at those goofy kids in front of me trying their every possible brain to make me smile, but they don't understand is having them here just makes me  ecstatic.

While mom was packing up stuff from the hospital ward and the nurses giving me a last minute check, I saw a shadow on the entrance. It was for a moment, so I cannot be sure who it was. Maybe a staff worker. I mentally scoffed at myself thinking "You wanna see him that bad?".

Maybe it's not him.

All the boys helped my mom with the stuff at home, which was really sweet of them. Now since we do not own the Geller's corp anymore. Mom decided it wasn't worth living here. She owned a farm land and have a pretty good house there. So she decided to shift me there for a few years, that is to California. Uncle Vincenzo was furious, he wanted to sue them for fraud, but Kingstones are like Gods here and it would be worthless to fight against them. Mom and Uncle Vincy decided it would be best if I was to be shifted from this toxic place forever.

I was thinking of going to college. But, college is out of question now honestly. I need to find work first as soon as I get there. I cannot rely on mom and uncle vincy for a long time. As the eldest kid, I should take responsibility for myself.

My mom had already packed my stuff away. I cannot ask mom for college tuitions, she already must have a lot of issues. I already studied business all my childhood. Maybe I can make something out of it there.

Levi asked me if he could have a moment with me, I nodded and we both were standing in the backyard. Honestly when I look at levi right now, he a fine ass man. With that white shirt, sleeves folded up to his elbows and the blue denims on bottoms. While his hair is all pushed back with his silver chain hanging from his neck.
