HERA (GxG, Lesbian Story) •Ongoing•

Ch.7 We don't talk anymore

Lee's POV

Allison called me to her office as soon as I gained consciousness and I'm surprised to see my parents there. I begged the school doctor to not inform them about it and she didn't listen, obviously.

"You're both overreacting, really," I told them while shaking my head in embarrassment.

I simply passed out. The school doctor already checked me up and she told me that I just need proper sleep and Iron vitamins. My blood pressure is low and I look pale.

"It is not dear. This is the first time that this happened after you got out of the hospital. You know fully that this is a big deal" Mom tried to explain.

I looked at Allison to ask for help but she doesn't want to be involved. She's just staring at me with a blank expression on her face.

"Go take a 3-day break, Lee. We have to be sure that this will not happen again" She said with a low but commanding voice.

I heard that a lot of students panicked when I lost consciousness. Due to this, Pepper announced that there will be no morning exercise for two months. I feel like the whole school is overreacting.

"Okay, fine," I replied in surrender. I don't have a choice but to follow Allison's order.

We left her office afterwards and then we went straight to my room to fix my things. I know that my parents are just scared but I cannot help but feel upset about what just happened.

I've been having trouble sleeping the past few days ever since I saw Hero's name on the exchange students list. It brought back a lot of painful memories that I thought I already forgot.

Now, there's Hera. I know that she's just trying to be friendly but her actions and the way she speaks reminded me of Hero. I feel bad that I told her to stay away from me but I need my peace of mind.

Gosh! I wish one year will be finished soon so the exchange students will leave. I said mentally.

I did not bring a lot of stuff because I have lots of clothes left at home. I informed the student council members about Allison's decision and they are very supportive of it. I'm very lucky to be friends with them, they're like my blood sisters.

My parents didn't waste time and immediately brought me to the hospital to have my blood tested. The smell of the hospital makes me dizzy because I never had a good memory of it. I've been a resident here for almost half of my life.

"Before losing consciousness, do you remember what you felt at that time?" the doctor inquired while reading the report the school doctor made.

"My vision became blurry and I had mild paralysis. That's all I remember" I replied honestly.

Mom started crying upon hearing what I said. I'm trying to act tough even though I know that it's also a symptom of my old illness.

"Calm down, sweetheart" Dad tried to comfort her.

"It can be a symptom of anything Mrs. Saunders. For all we know she just experienced overfatigue" I sighed in relief because he was also right.

"We cannot assume anything until we see her blood result," the doctor added.

I won't be surprised if my illness returns, but it will surely make me sad. I don't know how I recovered after almost dying. The doctors said that it was a miracle because I am the first and only one to recover from GBS.

My parents didn't know the truth that I tried to kill myself. I kept it a secret from them because I didn't think that it was important for them to know. I already gave them a lot of heartaches when I was in a coma.
