Friends Or Enemies? Love Maybe...

Chapter 15

I’m still not ready.

            Tucker’s eyes make me start to believe in him and make me know that everything is all right. My heart says yes but my mind says no. My old memories are not vanished yet. It is still bleeding with pain, tear and suffering I’ve passed by. I didn’t utter a word but the confusions in my eyes make Tucker realize that I’m still not ready. Tucker ends the powerful gaze of our eyes and stand beside me. He pulled a blanket to my waist and off the light. I can hear him saying, “Good night Christina” and off he go. Am I being too mean? Am I being too cruel? Or I’m just a poor girl defending myself from something. Am I defending myself from being lied again or am I defending myself from love?

            The medicines I took just now made me feel very sleepy. I wake up in the morning feeling great because the fever had gone. I was kind of hyper because the only thing that I remember is school. I searched for Tucker but I can’t find him. Then I look at the clock and it’s 11a.m! I’ve never wake up this late before. Tucker will think that I’m a lazy woman or something. That’s why I hate medicine. Tucker is probably at school now. I love school more than anything does because I can enjoy with my friends and at the same time I can study with my favourite teachers- the annoying ones excluded.When I’m at home, I’ll be a loner because my mom is at her workplace and I have annoying neighbours-before Tucker moves in.

            What am I going to do now? I don’t have my house keys. I’d better do something to Tucker’s house. Something nice I guess. I’m hungry now and I’m thinking of preparing our brunch. I hope Tucker is the same person as he is before last night. I prepared our brunch and waited for Tucker so we can have lunch together. After 1 hour waiting, I can hear Tucker’s footsteps heading to the front door. He is normal, no changes in his look- still hot- and there are no changes in his attitude, I think he’s ok now but I know he is feeling a little disappointed in me.

            “Hi Tucker! Let’s have lunch together. I’ve cooked Mac and cheese.” “Christina, you look better. You shouldn’t do anything today. Your body needs some rest. I have good news for you. Your mom is going to be home today because she is worried about you.” “Ok. I bet she was panicked when she know I fainted. Moms are always paranoids. How was school?” “Nothing important.Everyone was asking me about you. That’s all.”
