~Chapter 26 – Waking up to find trouble…~

When I came too, it didn’t help that I felt like someone punched me a gazillion times. Moreover, left me broken all over, but all I could say was, I was alive.

I smelt the tangy smell of flowers, and when I held my eyes open for a few seconds with all my might. I noticed two boys and I smiled, I felt happy regardless of leaving me dead. I was just happy they stopped, I was happy they were here.

I tried to move but everything was numb, everything was hurting. My body felt light and I couldn’t smell again, it was blocked. In addition, I feared I would suffocate, I tried to murmur but nothing came out. I looked at the boys as much as possible, but they were asleep. Jethro holding my left hand and Mason on my right. I saw Anthea behind them on the sofa with a blanket on top of her, what happened?

Memories flooded back like the raging river and I breathed quicker, I was hyperventilating. I couldn’t breathe I thought, I would die again. I saw the boys stir look at each other and call Anthea, to get the doctor. I couldn’t see through the haze of my tears.

I couldn’t hear or understand, what they were saying, I felt restless. Useless, and I didn’t know what to do. I was scared and I was breathing quicker, my heart was speeding up. And I felt like I would explode, I felt them squeeze my hands felt them scream in frustration.

The doctors pushed them aside and looking at me, they placed the mask on me and I was breathing again normally. I was functioning again, but I was falling asleep. It was like a disease, I couldn’t stay awake I felt myself float like I was on air. This was a problem a big one, I felt like I would die again I didn’t suffer this time. I found myself asleep like a freshly burped baby.

I was alive and that’s all that mattered.

(Jethro)

I felt her squeeze my hand and I looked up I saw her she was awake. However, my smile didn’t reach to my lips when I saw her; she was wide eyed and scared. I nudged Mason and I called Anthea to wake up. She was hyperventilating, her fear in her eyes were still there. She wasn’t sure where she was, and I nearly hit something in anger.

It was my entire fault, if only I didn’t start that fight. If only my emotions didn’t rollercoaster into this when I found out what Mason did. I was jealous, more like I was in love with her. And I didn’t know it, I liked her a lot, but right now all I felt was her pain and anger and I was retaliating the same.

“Mason do something” I shouted she was having a fit but she still squeezed our hands.

I saw Mason sweating in panic, his eyes moistening and I knew he was about to cry. He was the softer side to my hard one; he was the opposite of me. He never made her suffer like I did, and I hated him for it, hated him for being kind to the ones he loved unlike me.

(Mason)

I don’t know how long I was out for all I knew was she was awake. Breathing, and that’s all that mattered, we were blessed tonight and I don’t know how long. When she squeezed my hand, I woke up to see her hyperventilating and I froze.

She was in panic, she was scared she couldn’t breathe, and she was reaching out for help. I stared at Jethro, who looked more nervous than I. Moreover, I couldn’t blame him, all this time all I did was make him suffer with all my actions. In addition, this is what happens and I was to blame for it.

“Raquel, breathe it’s ok” Jethro shouted besides me.

“Breathe Raquel slowly” I shouted back
