The life of Bethany. -A Jaden Smith Love Story

BETH 12 #2

The night at the hospital was horrible. The constant beep of the heart rate monitor, the footsteps of night nurses walking up and down the hallways and the fact that I felt so alone. I picked up my phone dropping it on my first attempt as I was right handed. I decided to text Kylie as I felt like talking to her.

Beth: Hey Kylie xx

Sent 23:00

She didn't answer. I lay back down on the bed and closed my eyes. A tear slid down my cheek then to the side and rolled off my face. I missed Jaden, I wanted him here. I don't understand why he was so angry. My body was weak, and my throat was dry. Soon my eyes got to tired

to stay open and I fell asleep.

I woke up slowly opening my eyes as they gradually adjusted to the daylight. I heard a light knock on the door and a nurse came in with a tray in her hands.

'Here you go' she said in a high pitched voice 'eat, it will make you feel better'. I ate the food and just as I was about to drink the last of my juice, my parents walked in.

'Hello Beth' my mum said in a calm tone.

'Hi Mum' I said looking at them one at a time 'Hi dad'.

'We are taking you home today' she said loudly, like I was going deaf. I held my ear.

'Mum!' I yelled 'I can still hear perfectly fine!'. My mum suddenly looked down at her hands and nodded. I got out of bed and got changed into some clothes my parents had brought me. The drive home was awkward and slow. I got a text from Kylie.

Kylie: Yo B! X

Beth: at last! Took you a while. What were you up to?

I found it hard to text with my cast so decided to call her. It rung for ages until she finally answered.

'Hello?' She said sounding tired.

'Hey Ky, what's up?'. It was so nice to hear a friends' voice it made me feel at ease.

'Who you talkin' to babe?' I heard a familiar voice from behind her, then a few whispers.

'Look B I need to go' she said quickly.

'But I want to speak to you, we are leaving to Bora Bora this evening!' I yelled into the phone over the whispering.

'Is it Bethany?' I heard the voice ask again 'Why are you talking to her?'. That's when it hit me. That voice was Jaden's.

'Kylie' I said, my eyes getting misty 'what's Jaden doing there?'

She suddenly hung up. I buried my head into my arms. I didn't want anyone to see me. I cried uncontrollably gasping for air.

'Beth!' My mum said worriedly 'what's wrong? Is your arm hurting?'. I shook my head, still crying. Once we got home my dad went out to get my stuff but my mum came into the back seat with me and sat next to me.

'What's wrong?' she asked hugging me. I told her the whole story and she listened hanging on to my every word.

'And now' I sobbed 'I am going to Bora Bora with them and I just don't want to!'.

'Do you feel like you should be doing what she wants you to do right now?' she asked. My head perked up and I shook it.

'Then go' she said 'have a good time, spend time with your other friends!'. I nodded the she handed me a tissue smiling.

'Now you go off and start getting ready' she looked at me and rubbed my back 'You, Bethy, are going to Bora Bora!'. I laughed at her excitement for me.

'Thanks Mum' I said with a smile on my face 'I love you'.

'Love you too my little Bee!' She said starting to help my dad unload.
