Couldn't Life be Better?

SO THE LAST PART WAS BORINGG! COZ I WAS WRITING IT DOWN AT 5 IN THE MORNING! 🙄

"So you think he is up to something?" Harper concluded, after listening to my entire story,

"I don't know. He seems too arrogant," I rolled my eyes.
Harper sipped on his coffee and was focusing too much on whatever I had said. He was the over possessive. Clearly, VERY over possessive. Sometimes he made me feel annoyed due to his clingy nature but I just had to deal with it.

Harper was not just my best friend, we loved each other. The kind of love people see in movies or maybe beyond that. But lately, we haven't been able to give him much time. I had school pressure, my sister (Elena) wasn't well most of the times and my mom couldn't deal with everything alone. I was teamed up to support a lot of people. Megan was surviving through hard times and I was always trying to motivate her back to life. Harper wasn't much of a speaker, so I had to be that chirpy girl around him, even though our silence was pretty much comfortable too. I had to make sure that Elena had my attention whenever I was home and also allow mom to take some proper rest. I was on a whirl of responsibilities while my dad made sure that I had him to share every bit of my life with.

"Don't worry okay? I'll take care of him!" Harper snapped out of nowhere.

I raised my eyebrow, "He didn't do anything yet so until he is not a danger, I would want you to stay away from the matter because apparently there is no matter."

He nodded silently, knowing that I did not admire his unnecessary "poking in" in my school matters. I had a different life there and I didn't wanted it to be disruptive.

"Anyways, I had to tell you that my exams are next week so I'll be a bit busy," I sighed.

"You are always busy babe but I know you got time for me," he winked.

I winked back and we both smiled.

I was worried sick while I lay in my bed. Elena wasn't feeling well and it was getting critical. She now got pneumonia and mom and dad were at the hospital with her. Karl (my brother) was home with me but he had to switch with dad. He was tried and he also needed rest.

"Hey Katy, I am heading to the hospital... lock the door okay? Dad has the extra pair of keys so don't worry and sleep," Karl said.

I nodded in utter worry.
"You okay? It will only take him around 15 minutes to reach back home."

I sighed, "I am just worried about Elena. What's going to happen, I don't know."

Karl sat next to me and hugged me from the side, "She will be fine, don't worry."

I knew he was trying to make me feel better but probably it wasn't working.

"Don't worry I am fine."
He smiled at me and went away, leaving me alone to my thoughts.
