Let's Face It Together

Unspoken Words

**Kevin's POV**

As I heard some sounds of camers clicking I struggled to open my eyes. I saw dad was there with his phone clicking my photos and smirking. The moment I shook my head, it crashed with another. I tried to look who it was but the vision was blur.

Seeing my confused face, dad handed me my specs and I focused just to see Lacey sleeping with her head resting on her arms while sitting on the chair.

She slept with me? Although indirectly but she did slept with me.

Seeing her beside me, I blushed looking away.

My dad laughed and came to me.

"Nice choice! I mean... she's really cute" he smirked.

"Da-aa-ad!" I extended the word.

"Okay! Okay!" he laughed and suddenly became serious.
"Hey by the way are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Just a bit of headache."

"I can understand. Mom told me you hut your head much harder." he got up and made his way towards the door. But some thought stopped him and he turned and said,"By the way, let me tell you. Lacey hasn't left your dorm since she entered it for the first." he smiled and walked off.

What? She.... Is she so attached to me? I need to talk to her.

As I tried getting up, I realised my hand was linked with hers under her sleepy head. I froze for a second turning in various shades of red.

When I landed to the reality I remembered that I need to rush to the rest room. I slowly tried pulling my hand but end up waking her.

She rose her head and stared at me me with her wide brown eyes. I returned the stare and almost sat there like more than five minutes (which was far more than enough to see) and I realised I need to use washroom within ten seconds.

Without thinking anything I pulled my hand out of her grip and rushed to the restroom at the corner of my room. I didn't even bother what will she think of my sudden rush but I kept my pace.

As I came out she was still sitting there but this time she was scrolling my phone as if searching fir something.

"Hey is that mine?" she nodded.

Let out a sigh when she got up and turned her phone towards me so I can see it.

Shit! God save me! She took out the picture that I clicked the party night.

My eyes grew larger and as I saw her, tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Why didn't you tell me?" was all she said before she pulled me into a tight hug. My hands automatically flew over her back. She wept for the next ten minutes and when she calmed herself she pulled away from my firm grip. We stared eachother for another two minutes while she was still close to me. My hands on her waist and her on my shoulder.

Suddenly the door burst open with the doctor leading the pack of three with mom and dad behind him. I quickly pulled away from Lacey so their minds don't bother to think what we did.

"Congratulations Kevin. You are doing extreamly great progress. Tomorrow you would get discharged at neutral basis." he smiled and took some papers and a file from the table near my bed and walked away.

Mom came to me and hugged me saying,"Oh my dear, you're so brave. I'm so proud of my baby."

"Now he's no longer a baby!" dad smirked pointing towards Lacey. For the first time she blushed and looked down in embarrassment and I was standing firm and was expression less.

"Da-aa-ad!" I stretched the word so he may keep shut.

"Anyways seeing you fit and fine I think I should return return day after tomorrow." dad said while checking his phone and walked out.

"Lacey I think you are here for a long time. You should go back to your home before your parents start to worry." mom turned towards Lacey and she was uncomfortable in her place.

"No need. They know I'm here and they are anyways out of town. So I'm not going home." I guess she lied about her parents. They might not know she's in hospital for me.

"No but I think you should go because you have school tomorrow."

"It's okay ma'am, I'll miss the school. I don't have friends other than Kevin so there's no way I'm gonna enjoy while he being here." I'm damn sure she lied.

"But-"

"It's okay mom let her stay for the night." I cut my mom.

She sighed and smiled as she walked out.

"Now you tell what was happening-"

"No, you tell me what's wrong with you?" I cut her off. She furrowed her eyebrows and gave a confused look.

"Excuse me!" she folded her hands on her chest.

"How do you manage to say so much lie about your parents? I just don't get it why don't you reveal the original Lacey? Why are you so confined into youself?" I shouted but kept my limit to avoid my parents to come in.

She sighed and sat on the bed as her eyes filled with water. As I reached her my head stumbled in pain. I quickly pulled my hands to my head. There was blur image as my specs fell on the floor. All I could feel was a pair of soft familier hands holding me and laying me on my bed. A few drop of water fell on my face and I came to the world. Someone tugged in my specs and I focused. I got up a bit so that my back is against the wall.

Lacey was there with me on my bed. She looked extreamly scared. She held my hand.

"You okay?" she said with watery eyes.

"Ask this to yourself." she put her head down as if depressed.

I got more closer and pulled away the hair falling on her face. To my reaction she looked up and tears rolled down. I cupped her face and then wiped her tears with my thumb.

"Tell me! What's wrong?" Iw whispered. And nurse entered with a smile seeing us in the position. Lacey pulled away and walked to her. Picked up a bowl of soup and then came to me. She sat on the bed where she sat earlier.

Pulled out a spoon full of soup and was about to feed me when I pulled back.

"Tell me what's wrong?" I demanded.

"I can't tell you." she walked towards the window and stared out.

"Why?" I followed her.

"I-I can't" she cried again. I never saw her cry so much. The reason must be terrific.

"Please!" I pulled her closer and rolled my fingers around her waist rested my chin on her shoulder. She was just two inches shorter so it was easy.

We stood there watching the evening traffic and a beautiful sunset.
