I just know..!

Chapter 3

"The flight is ready but you will have to wait for 2 more days to leave."Brandon said coming in.
"W..why?" I asked trying hard to get that single word out.I felt weak,I was weak. Brandon didn't tell me what was wrong and I never bothered to ask as I had no energy to utter even a single word.
" you are too weak to travel and the weather changes can make it worse !"he said sitting beside me.It can get worse..wow how is that even possible.!
I nodded and lied back closing my eyes.

" do you want to eat something?"Alex asked later.i lost track of time I didn't know which hour was it and which day was it.All I knew was waking up taking my eight pills,trying to talk or read,puke and finally sleep energy less,
unable to move.
"Blaze...have this..!"Alex said giving me a glass of juice.i nodded and took the glass from her.i tried holding it hard enough but the glass slipped and broke.
I looked down at the glass and again settled myself for a sleep.A few days back,(don't even know how many days exactly),I struggled to sleep and look at me now,all I do is sleep.
I closed my eyes and tried not think about anything because once I start thinking I'll either puke or faint.
Alex clasped her hand with mine and said " You'll be fine blaze ..I know you will..but make it fast..it's hard to see you go through this..!"tears flowed down from my closed eyes into the pillow.i didn't reply,I didn't smile..I just acted as if I didn't hear and went back to sleep.
From then on I woke up rarely,once I found my nurse cleaning my body with a sponge,once I saw Brandon doing something on his laptop,once I saw Alex and Brandon talking about something and smiling,once I found myself in the washroom,I wondered when I came there.

"Blaze..!try getting up!"I heard Brandon's voice and tried moving myself.i winced for every move,I tried getting up from the bed and fell back.
Brandon lifted me up in his hands and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Wh..where..?"I choked.
"You are going to New York.your heart rate got better and you stopped vomiting from yesterday.you are just a little weak so I think people there can manage.i told mom and dad that you are suffering from a viral fever.!"he said and we reached the flight.Dad gifted this flight to Brandon when he turned 16 to travel Canada to New York whenever we wanted.
"You?"I asked.
"No..I'm not coming..what will I tell mom and dad?"He said and I nodded
Battling whether to ask or not,I finally asked "Blake?"
He put me down on the bed in the flight."his grandmother fell sick on the day you fainted."he said signalling the doctor to give us sometime.
"M..may be..that's..w..why..he..di..didn't..c..come?"I managed to say and panted heavily for some air.whats wrong with my lungs.!
"Really??..Blaze!!..she got better in a week and a half..!"he said angrily.
"H..how l..long-" he cut me off and said "a month!"he said looking away.wow..I slept for a month..that is so..creepy!
"When w..will I be b..back?"I asked fidgeting.
"Whenever you wish! I'll manage mom and dad" he said and kissed me on forehead. "God you are burning!"he said licking his lips and I smiled.

"Bye Blaze..miss me..!"he said moving away.I waved my hand trying to lift it a little higher.

I dozed off while I was thinking about some good times I spent with Brandon and sky. I wondered whether he remembers me or not.
'All the best Blaze !' Alex texted.
'Thanks Alex!"i asked my nurse to reply.
I didn't how long it will take for this weakness to go,I have to heal my broken heart,I have to get ready for all the questions at school and I should also be ready to see sky falling all over Miranda.the thought itself made me claustrophobic.
15 minutes later my doctor gave me some pills and asked me get some sleep. Obviously,
what else can I do.?
I woke up shivering badly,he gave some other medicines and I slept again.wow..I think this is what I'll be doing my whole life.
They shifted me into a wheel chair an hour later and we halted at our limousine.My driver whom I recognised to be Jack picked me up from the wheel chair and put into me into the car.

While driving me to the house he asked "Do you remember ma'am?"
"Y..yes..J..j..jack!"I said wondering whether he heard me or not.
He smiled and said "I was told you were ill but not this bad."I just smiled.
"M..mom and..d..dad?"I said expecting him to understand what I was trying to say.
"They aren't here now..!but they will reach by 8 tonight.!"he said and I nodded feeling weak again.i wish I stayed back with Brandon,he would have at least sat beside me trying talk some nonsense..unlike my parents who will keep traveling. They might be here tonight and I'm not sure about tomorrow.
Jack stayed silent for the rest of the time,maybe he understood that I'm unable to talk continuously like I used to.
We reached the Davis Mansion in twenty minutes or so. Jack put me into the wheel chair and said" get well soon ma'am!" He said and I smiled hoping for it happen as soon as possible.
I remembered every inch of this house as if I came here yesterday,I visited this place for summer two years back with Brandon.A lady walked towards me whom I recognised to be Anna.
"Hey Blaze!"Anna exclaimed.
"H..hey!"I said in a soft voice.
"Oh my god..look at you dear..you look so weak..so pale..it's ok ..I'll take care of you.!"she said looking sad. She was the one who took care of Brandon and I when we were young ,she had done everything for us from changing diapers to selecting clothes for us.
Brandon even calls her 'mom'. We were all that close.she is family.
"Mom and dad will come by eight..so get some sleep till then..I'll get you some soup..!"she declared and signalled the nurse to take me to my room.
I remember my room,it had pink walls with photos of Brandon and I. We shifted to Canada when I was two years old and stayed there till date.
The family business in New York had some problems so mam and dad shifted back here.
The business clicked and they never turned back.
'Anna called that you reached.stay safe.I'll be waiting for you.love you' Brandon texted.i didn't bother to reply because I knew Brandon would understand that I couldn't.
I slept in my pink bed thinking about (no,not Blake) trying to walk without falling tomorrow.

"Open your mouth!"Anna said and pushed the spoon into my mouth.

I watched TV for an hour and mom came in yelling "sweetheart..!"
"Mom..!"I said as if a big burden was removed from my head,may be it is the power of a mother. She hugged me hard,hard enough for me to stop breathing.

"Sorry honey..!" She said and kissed me on my forehead. She then gave way for dad.
"Hello sweetheart!" Dad said and kissed me on my forehead.
"Anna!did you give her any soup?"mom asked Anna formally.
"Yes ma'am!" Anna said nodding.
"I'll call Brandon and ask him whether the nurse knows everything correctly about viral fever or not!" Mom said and excused herself from the room.

"Do you and your brother really expect me to think that my strong daughter,Blaze Davis will fall sick this badly just because of a viral fever..?"Dad sounded like he already knew.i looked away immediately unable to look into his eyes.
"I don't want you to tell me everything,I just want you to know the reason and get over it quickly..I want my angry noisy daughter back!"he said and walked out the room after kissing me on my forehead again.
I know dad,I know the reason..it's love and my broken heart and I am gonna heal it.
Good bye love..good bye sky...you are just my friend and nothing more.
