When Two Skateboards Crash

"She's getting too excited. The doctor ordered to give her a sedative so she could get a rest."

The nurse was speaking big words like sedative that I didn't get it when she suddenly stabbed, maybe not stabbed, a needle in my arm. I was getting sleepy but before I went to sleep, I got a few words out.

"Octavian... The guy I like... Shh.. It's a secret, you can't tell anyone." Giggling to myself, I fell asleep thinking that they were going to tell anyway since there was no secret in 2nd grade.

Chapter 11

Airelle POV

Currently, I was poking Octavian. He was really skinny and muscular, it was fun. Not as fun as poking a sponge, though.

"Sto-o-o-o-o-p poking me." Octavian was a cry baby, he liked to complain a lot, too. It wasn't my fault, though, it was his fault for growing like this.

"But it's so fun! If you want this to stop, then play with me!" I said that with giggling.

After I woke up from my sleep, my parents and the guys explained what happened. At first, it was hard to believe that I was actually 16 but after seeing my birthday suit, I was convinced.

I still had to be in the hospital because the doctor wasn't convinced that I was fine. Then, because I thought the boys didn't tell Octavian that I liked him, I continued to annoy and force him to play with me.

Then, suddenly an overwhelming nausea came over me, causing black dots to appear in front of my eyes. I staggered trying to find my balance, while closing my eyes. It just hurted my headache more. I put my hands on my head and fell down on the floor. I heard footsteps coming close to me which I realized was Octavian. He shouted for the doctor and nurses. He carried me to the bed where I passed out not a second after.

I wasn't conscious but I wasn't asleep either. That's when various images hit me like a strong wind suddenly knocking me away. The first image was about Octavian being bullied and me saving him. The next was my 10th birthday, when my bestest friend moved away. The images processed faster and faster showing my most important, saddest and happiest moments.

It slowed down from the time I first almost got raped. Then to Blake making me his girlfriend slave, which should end now, to the second attempted rape. It then showed the times I spent together with Octavian after my amnesia.

When I was looking at the pictures with only Octavian and I, I couldn't help but admire Octavian's beauty and how happy and couple like we looked.

Then came nothingness. No picture or colors. It was just black. I felt as if I was sucked into a black hole where not even light could escape. In the black, there were faint, blurry pictures but I could make out who was in it. It was mostly Octavian but in every picture, there was a different girl. I knew, then, exactly what this was. It was the times I noticed Octavian, though only briefly, and his "girlfriends".

Instead of those times I felt nothing when I looked at them, this time I felt fear. I knew exactly why I was feeling this. I didn't know what kind of flashback or dream it was but I knew it was telling me to realize something that I hid away. The feelings that blossomed but had to hide behind other blossoming flowers. With that I fell into a dark sleep.
