Reviving Talise

Chapter 5!

"I'm so sorry!" Joel says. He wraps me tight in his arms and I embrace him. He smelt like fabric softener, Axe, and a hint of licorice?

He lets go of me gently and lays on my couch in my room. I put my head on his lap and flip on the TV. How I Met Your Mother is on. He plays with my hair and I start venting to him. I cried it all out so no tears today.

"I miss him so much. I wish he was here." I start. "Yesterday when I saw him there unconcious, I just thought about how much I would miss him, you know, if he left? And I keep thinking that, what if its all my fault he's hurt?" I look up at his face.

"Its not your fault. He would've collapsed whether or not you were there. He can't control it. And you know what my mom used to say to me?" he looked back down at me.

I shake my head.

"If you love someone, let them go. And if they love you back, well, they would've never left" His words clung to me.

My eyes were probably sparkling. I smiled slightly. He leaned down and pressed his lips against mine.

My first kiss with Joel. It was perfect, better than ones I've had before. It was like the kisses in the fairy tales. The slow, passionate ones that are also short and sweet.

He pulled back and we stared at each other. I never noticed how perfect he was. His tan body, his abs, his muscular arms that warmed me up when he hugged me, his square goddess like face. Joel was mine.

I walked into the hospital, smelling the scent of medicine and food. My parents already saw Matt and went out for lunch. Seth was probably with him, and Aaron and Trey already said there hello's to Matt. It was my turn, to see him concious and talk to him, and tell him I'm sorry.

"Thanks for taking me here, Trey" I give him a quick hug and he hugs me back. He quickly slaps my butt and I shove him as hard as I possibly good. Now was not the time or place.

"I have a boyfriend" I say.

Trey rubs his stomach "Sorry, I couldn't take my hands off of you." he smirks.

I roll my eyes. "Back off"

He walks away grinning. I turn around and face the door, my hand on the handle. I take a deep breath and brace myself. I turn the handle and step in. Seth wasn't there which was odd. Only Matt and a nurse helping him. Matt shooed the nurse away and she scurried out the door. I heard it slam as I walked closer to him.

Tears fill my eyes. Dont cry, Talise, Dont cry, I keep chanting in my head. I sit down on the side of his bed and grab his hand. A tear drop falls on his bed and he quickly wipes it away with his hand.

"Don't cry baby girl" he whispers. I nod and stop.

"How you feeling?" I ask.

"Better." he replies.

"Thats good"

He nods once. "Aren't you supposed to be surfing for your semi-finals today?"

"They cancelled it for you." I try to break a smile through my pain.

"Your great at it, you don't need to cancell anything for me" he squeezes my hand.

"But I want to"

It was silent for a moment.

"How is mom and dad taking it?" I ask Matt

"They're freaking out, with Seth. You seem collected though"

I shake my head. "Im freaking out Matt, Im dying inside."

I sniffle and I hug him awkwardly. I just rest my head on top of his chest and cry.

"I missed you so much." I say through sobs.

"I missed you too Talise" He spoke softly.

I got up and wiped away excess tears. "Don't you scare me like that ever again. I thought I was gonna loose you" I whimper and playfully slap his arm.

He chuckles. "Don't worry, we're getting the test back soon. I'll be fine. I don't think anything is wrong with me." he forces a smile on his face. I nod and hope for the best.

I flip over off my surfboard and rise to the top of the water. I start laughing with Christine. It was really nice to get away from all this chaos in the family and practise for tomorrow's competition.

"That would've been a ten" Christine says. I smile and we surf a bit longer. She was surfing a beautiful wave that I shoul've had. I was so jealous. I turn around and see Mr. Kernshaw watching us surf and grinning on the shore.

Me and Christine run out of the water and meet up with him.

"That was great girls!" He claps. I look at Christine and she looks at me.

"Thanks" I smile back at him. Mr. Kernshaw was a man probably in his mid-forties. He had a goatee and brown hair. He was big and strong and used to teach some of the best surfers ever. I heard it was rare when he complimented you on his surfing.

"I think you girls really have a shot of making it into the pro's!" He grins.

Christine squeels and jumps in place. I almost screamed. My dream was happening to fast and perfect. If only I had my whole family here right now to support me. But I had to get my mind off of Matt.

"I have a good idea who will be making it into finals" he says.

"Thank you so much Mr. Kernshaw. This is an amazing honor for the both of us" Christine says.

"Im actually glad to meet such great surfers as you. I better get going. It was nice meeting both of you in person away from the camera for once" he shakes our hands and leaves the beach.

Me and Christine dance and sqeal around. I suddenly couldn't wait for tomorrow.
