Lady's POV:
I woke this morning very well, i turn around to see my mom talking to the nurse. She hasen't recognize me looking at her until the nurse tole her that I woke up, she waves her hand to me and makes her way through the door. I turn to my left where the clock is hanging over the wall and it's 9 am.
"Good morning honney, sleep well?" she asks me after she gave me a hug. I just noded. A little black bag captures my eyes. I know it very well; it reminds me of my childhood. My mom used to save cookies there.
"These are for you" and she gives it to me. I start eating it one after the other. There are delicious as usual. I can fell my face lighting up with a smile, a big smile.
"It's been a while since I've seen you smiling like this" she looks to me and holds my hand "I tough I will never see you happy after what happen" I stop eating at those words. I know exactly what she meant.
"I'm sorry, Lady, but.." she says and looks down.
"I think we already promised each other to never mention this story again" I say furiously.
"I know and I still remember the promise, but your hunsband came yesterday to see me and he asked me about Cody" What? why would he ask her about Cody?
"But I already told him about Cody a year ago" I think I should finish the conversation of yesterday.
"Did you tell him the real story?" she says
"No yet" I say as I see Harold opening the door. He smiles to me and says hello to my mum. I give a wink to mum to leave us alone and she leaves.
"Sleep well?" He asks me. I nod and reach his hand.
"Harold, I want to tell you something, I wanted to say it yesterday, but...I think the right time is now" I say as the teers made her way through my cheek
His hand presses to my cheek and he says "If you can't tell me now, it's okay. Just make sure that I'll be here whenever you want to hear you"
I can't keep it forever; his words give me more reasons to tell him. "No, I have to. It's killing me that I'm keeping secrets from you" This is it, lady, go ahead. "Do you remember the story I told you before about Cody? Cody had never left me, I made this story"
He looks directly into my eyes and says "Why? Are you scared of something?"
I feel my tongue tied and my head spining. Bringing these memories make me sick every day "Cody is dead" I say it like I removed a big mountain over my chest. I remember every thing now, pictures from the past start flashing in the back of my mind. I can't, it's hard, it's killing me.
"Cody is dead" I keep repeating the same word: dead "He's dead" I start crying and screaming the word DEAD "And I killed him"
Harold leave my hand and takes me by my shoulders, he seems so surprised. Yes, your wife is a criminal. Yes, your wife is a liar. Yes, Lady had killed Cody. He holds me so tight and whispers "Don't worry, I'm sure it's a misunderstanding. Just trust me and tell me the whole story, I can help you"
I sit in front of him, clean my eyes and take a deep breath:
"It was a beautiful day of September 2010, not cloudy nor sunny, just a normal day for the first day in Rosewood Junior and High School. Rosewood was a diffrent school; it was separated into two parts: the junior part and the high school part. I was attending the high school part. I still have two years to graduate. I wasn't popular, but I had a dream. I've always seen that girls in my age meet the perfect guy in high school and I wanted to live one of those stories. So, in the hall, as I was making my way through the classroom, I heard a laughter, a very beautiful laughter. I turned around and then I saw him; black hair, brown eyes, shiny skiny. He was with 4 or 5 other boys and some other girls. As they walked by me, I took the chance to see him close. But unfourtnally, he didn't see me; he was talking to the phone. The rest of the day was very normal, exept seeing him. In the cafeteria, he was sitting in the table next to me with the same group of boys and girls, again. I lost myself in a day dream until a the bell waked me. Damn, he captured my eyes looking at him and smiled to me. I didn't know what to do so I stand up and leave the place.
At the end of the classes, I went to the library to borrow some books. I met him again. Oh my God! Is he stalking me or something?
At 17:00, I went to the bus station; my mum had to work until 21:00, so I have to wait for the bus. But suddenly, I heard the same voice talking to me.
"Hey!" he said. It was him and I wasn't dreaming.
"Hi!" I replied. You can't imagine how much I was happy.
"Bus N°4 hasn't come yet?" He asked.
"Not yet, I'm waiting for it". I said.
He eyed me from head to toe and said "I'm Cody Hamilton".
I turned to him and Said "I'm Lady Melden, nice to meet you"I shoke his hand and he replied " Nice to meet you, too"
The bus came and we both went on it and he sat next to me.
"So how was yor day?" he asked me.
"Nothing special, just trying to keep up with our classemates again" I said and he gave me a half smile.
"I saw you going to the library. Do you have homeworks for the first day?" He said. I laught and he gave me his confused look.
"No, I just needed some books." He smiled back and said "I see". The bus stoped suddenly and it was my station. I smiled to him saying "See at school" and I went out. I was so happy and I keept telling myself "I wasn't dreaming, he actually talked to me"
The nurse cutt me off saying that it is the time to take my medicines. So Harold give me a goodbye kiss "I'll come tomorrow so you can tell me more".
I just can't believe that harold still want to hear the story after I told him that I lied on him. I can see through his eyes that he's hurted by hearing it and also because he knows now, I can't love him like Cody. I like him; but I can't love him.
