My Best Kept Secret (MBFF Sequel)

Chapter 10

Hermione

I had just finished my second day of recovery and I was so happy. Only a few more weeks and I'll be able to go home and be with my family. As I sat up in my bed I waited for the time to pass until Cortez gets out of school. Today was the day that I was going to tell him about my coma dreams. Knowing this made me so nervous but I knew I needed to tell someone before I started busting at the seams. I didn't know what Cortez would think of me after this but it had to be done. He knew Oscar and I almost slept together but this coma dream was different.

There was so much to think about when it comes to this kind of thing. The time struck three fifteen and I knew Cortez would be here in about thirty minutes. I could feel my nerves jerking which made my teeth chatter from nervousness. I was cold, like the dead almost. My heart monitor started to rise and it was kind of cool to watch. "Hola!" Tez said as he walked into my room like he was on cloud nine. "Are you okay?" I asked with a little giggle. "I'm just happy to see my best frined. How are you feeling?" He asked before sitting on my bed in front of me.

"I'm okay as far as health but, mentally I feel like I'm going to explode." I told him honestly. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked looking at me with a worried expression. "I would like to but I'm worried you'll think I'm absolutely insane and you'll never speak to me again." I said hoping he'd understand what I meant. "You're my best friend in the whole world, if I didn't think you were absolutely insane why would I even try to be friends with you?' He asked in more of a duh tone. "Thank you that makes me feel a little better now." I said chuckling. "So what's the tea?" He asked making my heartrate jump just a beat or two higher. "I wanted to know if I should tell Oscar about my coma dream. So when I tell you everything, I need you to be completely honesty with me and tell me if I should tell him or not." I said making him look at me serious.

"Well spill it. You know what we talk about stays between us. Also remember that my dad doesn't have any rights to what goes on in your mind, that's you personal business. If people were meant to know everything we're thinking of why would we have inter thoughts?" He was right, Oscar didn't need to know and it was my choice to tell him or not. "Okay so Oscar and I ended up dating and once I graduated we broke up, you got your girlfriend pregnant and you two got married, Tito knocked Angel up and she left baby Grace with Tito, I went to college and then when I got home we needed up back together, had a baby girl named Gabby and we got married." I gave him a rundown of all the major events before the biggest one. He stared at me in shock.

The silence was thick in the room and I wanted to suck the words I had just blurted out back into my mouth. "I need a do over button! I'm so sorry, I knew I shouldn't have said anyth." But I was stopped mid sentence by Cortez clamping a hand over my mouth. "Processing." Was all he said before removing his hand. After a few minutes Tez took a deep breath before turning to look at me. "So, what's the problem? It was just a coma dream. Dreams are just jumbled thoughts and movies and music lyrics we have stuck in our heads, sometimes they can be all nightmares." He was being so supportive and I was grateful for that. "That's not the worst part thought, Oscar left me and Gabby to go back to the gang lifestyle after a few years. He left us for a gang and some hyna. I called Tito to watch Gabby so I could go find Oscar. While I was out looking for him, I got hit head on and that's the last thing I remember." I told him.

"Oh so you're freaked out that you think telling him about all this stuff will freak him out. Like making him think you want kids and marriage with him right now but the reason you don't want it is because you're worried that after a while he'll get tired of trying and just leave?" He asked explaining how I felt inside to a T. "Yes! Aye Dios Mio, I'm still in high school, I don't want any of that to happen until I get my life together. You know I like Oscar but I don't want him to think I'm psycho for him or something! I wouldn't mind being with him but I don't want him thinking I would trap him with a baby either. This coma dream is going to cause so many problems. He wants me to tell him, I know he does but I don't want to if it's going to cause problems." I stated.

Time was passing so fast and I knew it was going to be time for Tez to go home soon and we still didn't have any answers. I needed another persons opinion on this before I even think of telling Oscar. "Maybe I should talk to Tito. He's Oscar's best friend and if anyone would know what to do it'd be him, right?" I asked looking to Tez. "I mean he could tell you what my dad would think. He could help you find am un-psycho way to tell him. Plus you two almost fucked before that school shooting, maybe that could help with your reasonings. I mean, it was one of the last memorable things you done before this shit happened ot you." He said as he got his bookbag from the chair. "I'll tell Tio Tito to come by tomorrow. Love you Hermione, I'll see you soon." He looked sad to leave me here. "Love you too Cortez. Maybe you can stay Friday night?" I asked before he walked out. "You already know it's a deal."
