Summer Nights City Lights

Chapter 13

I examined the bracelet even closer wanting to get answers but all that came to mind was her laughing but I wasn't complaining. I smiled but I haven't see her smile like that before though. Right? I looked at the golden charm bracelet that had a rose shaped diamond around the design of it but I came across a charm that had an engraving. I went closer towards it and squinted my eyes to read the tiny letters.

I love you.

All of a sudden another image pops into my head. I clutch onto my head and closed my eyes in pain trying to focus on the image.

"Sean!" I heard her laugh as I held onto her waist as I sat down on the couch. I laughed with her and she stuck her tongue out at me and tried wiggling out of my grip but it was no use. The wind was blowing through her hair and her laugh sounded like music to my ears. She slowly stopped laughing and looked at me.

"What?" She asked as she held onto my shoulders but I just smiled. I moved a hair out of her face making her blush.

"Beautiful." I mumbled and she looked at me.

"Hmm?" She hummed tilting her head side ways.

"Don't worry about it princess."

"You're crazy Sean." She laughed before kissing my nose.

I opened my eyes wide. What's going on? I stood up and walked out to the hall running my hand through my hair. None of this makes sense. I've only met her at the hospital. What's going on? Why does she keep popping up in my head. As I kept thinking how any of this makes sense I heard a familiar voice tell through the hall.

"Sean! BABE!" I heard Alexis yell from across the hall. I groaned silently to myself as my girlfriend came running over to me in her too short jean shorts that could literally be jean underwear (surprisingly she didn't get caught yet) and a crop top top that looked like a red bra. I'm honestly not in the mood for her clingy, annoying self. I spun on my heel only to be attacked with a kiss that made me uncomfortable. I'm starting to regret dating her.

"Why aren't you kissing me back." She complained like a 5 year old stomping her foot on the ground. I rolled my eyes without her seeing and looked at her.

"I gotta go Alexis." I said before walking away from her hearing her high pitch  of annoyance. Ok then. I hid behind the lockers making sure she was gone before walking back into the nurses room. I saw Margaret still lying there with her hair shining in the sunlight coming from the window. Why does she make me feel so different. I sat back down and put my chin in my hands as I put my elbow onto my leg. I stared at her and waited for her to open her eyes. We still had 40 minutes of class left until lunch. I sighed before looking at her wrist again. The same image pops up again but clearer. I can see her features clearly now but it doesn't make sense. Me and Margaret never had this moment before. We met at a hospital and that's it. Right? I tugged on my hair in frustration and stress until I heard her groan.i froze but I shot up as soon as I figured out what's happening. Her eyes started to open and she squinted from the light. I stayed quiet until Margaret looked at me and her eyes widened.

"S-Sean? Where am I? What happened? I-"

"Hey listen we're at the nurse. You fainted when you overdid yourself at the track." I explained cutting her off.

"Oh..." Was all she said before groaning in pain. She clutched her head and I handed her the Advil pills and the water bottle. She smiled at me and said thank you before taking the pills and downing the water finishing it off with a satisfying "ah." I chuckled and she looked at me.

"What?" She asked and I shook my head smiling.

"Don't worry about it princess." I said before realizing what came out. I froze and I can tell that Margaret tensed up leaving us in an awkward silence. I lifted my head up to look at her and she was playing with her hands. I smiled and placed my hand over hers.

Just like I use to do.

My eyes widened as those words came to mind and I shook my head slightly and looked at her.

"Are you alright?" I asked hesitantly. She just held her head low without word. I tilted her chin so she would look at me and her eyes were starting to get misty. She just nodded her head and smiled but it was like I know that look. She was lying to me.

"Margaret I know you're lying." I said with seriousness in my voice. She tensed up and she looked away again but I grabbed her cheeks.

"Look at me." I said gently until another vision came back.

"What do you want Sean?" She asked annoyed turning around and I walked up to her from behind.

"I'm sorry Margaret. I didn't think you'd get so upset about it..." I  said and She turned around.

"Yeah yeah. Like I didn't hear that before." She said rolling her eyes and walking into her closet grabbing a white bikini.

"I'm sorry." I said grabbing her hand making her face me. She looked down and I tilted her chin up.

"Look at me." I whispered and she looked me in the eye. I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest.

"W-what is it?" She asked as I held onto her waist so she wouldn't leave. She tried to push me away but my grip tightened.

"Please forgive me and hug me already." I begged. She sighed and slowly brought her head to my chest and hugged my waist.

"I hate you idiot." She whispered and I  chuckled as I held her tighter not thinking about letting go anytime soon.

"I know..." I whispered kissing her head gently. We stayed like this for what seemed like forever until someone walked in.

I stopped and let my hands fall onto the bed. Her eyes seemed to widen as well. Does she know something I don't?

"Margaret d-" suddenly the bell rang. I sighed and stood up sticking my hand out towards her which she took. She stood up but wobbled a little bit almost tripping but I caught her.

Just like before.

I shook my head and looked at her.

"Y-you ok?" I asked worriedly and she nodded.

"Thank you." She said breathlessly and she stood up on her own.

"Uhm wanna go to our lockers?" I asked hesitantly and she nodded.

"Uhm yeah. Let's go." She said grabbing her stuff and once she did I grabbed her hand pulling her towards our locker. Surprisingly she didn't let go. She squeezed my hand reassuringly.
