Wow guys you're still reading thank you 😘
Give me feedback on the book so far.
When I woke up I could no longer feel the pain in my chest and everything in the house seemed to be back to normal at least I presumed. The priest wasn't there anymore and my sister Nancy walked in and saw that I was awake she called out for my parents and they came rushing into my room.
"Melisa you're finally awake" my mum cried out
Wait they thought I was gonna die and why are they acting like I was in a comma for a decade.
" we thought you'd never wake up but the priest said you were going to wake up so we just kept believing." my dad said
"how long was I asleep?" I asked believing that it was more than just a few hours as I had thought
"You have been asleep for 25 months " Martha said with pity in her eyes.
I didn't know what to say or how to react but I had just missed 25 months of my life I was supposed to be in the last year of high school by now because I was only one grade behind Nancy. I looked at Nancy and tears started to roll down my eyes. Nancy was supposed to be done with high school by now and entering college. I was 17 years now and I missed my sweet 16th birthday which made me break down. My mum came and hugged me probably the warmest hug I have ever received. Everyone left after sometime and my mum urged me to take a shower and I started to wonder if I still knew how to do it.
I stepped out of my bed and looked into the mirror and without doubt I looked like shit pure shit. My hair was tangled, my eyes had circles around them and my teeth had started to lose their white colour. I broke down to tears again and then I started to recall the activities that took place on the day of the exorcism and that's when I remembered that I had a tattoo of a bleeding heart on my chest so I quickly stood up again and lifted my dress to see if the tattoo was still there and for sure it was and today I had a clear of it. It looked like a bleeding heart plant attached to a branch but this one had a key hole on it and some feathers that looked as though a bird was leaving the bleeding heart or the bird lived in the bleeding heart. I was so scared and confused but the only thing that was occupying my mind was my life. Did I still have friends, did I still have a boyfriend and most importantly what did people have to say about this. What rumours were going around. After the shower I went to Nancy's room where I found her typing an assignment and I knew for sure that she was in college now.
"what are you studying?" I asked not sure of what she would say because I didn't know what personality she had now.
"medicine, I want to be a doctor " she answered with a smile patting on the side of the bed signaling for me to come and take a sit next to her.
" that's great Ummmh so what did I miss?" I replied trying to wear my old happy face and failing miserably.
" trust me you didn't miss much. But let me update.. "Nancy told me and she continued to tell me about our neighbors some kids I barely knew about but she didn't mention anything about my friends or school.
"what happened with my friends Jane, Mary and Kate" I asked because these are my closest friends at least they were and Jane was my best friend.
She told me that all three came to visit once in a while during the first 3 months and she just noticed that with time only Jane continued to visit and eventually after like 4 months she also stopped and hasn't heard from her since.
"what about Luke? " I asked since he was my boyfriend well I think he still is.
" He just came once when some of your class representatives came to see you "
"is he seeing someone? "
"Ummmmmmh I don't know but I don't ttthink so"
I knew Nancy was hiding something so I continued to ask her and playing vulnerable and make her feel as though she owes me an answer.
"yes he is dating now " she answered full of pity in her eyes "
"who? " I asked not really sure if I wanted to hear the answer
"Jane " she answered without hesitation and pulled me into a hug.
I felt a sharp pain in my heart after hearing that my best friend stole my boyfriend but I somewhat understood looking at the fact that I was MIA for 25 months OMG 2 years and a month.
Yet another chapter. Thank you for reading😊
