Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

Be--

    The consistent beeping of the heart monitor finally comes to an end as Doctor Winston pulls the plug.

     "All Done!" he chirps. "We'll probably keep you here for a few more days just to make sure and then you're welcome to go."

     "Thank you," I reply with a soft, grateful smile.

     "You have a visitor, claims he's a friend of your father," Doctor Winston reports. "Do you want me to--"

     "Let him in," I say bluntly.

     A familiar tanned, tall, muscular figure strolls through the doorway with two bodyguards. The first bodyguard stands at the doorway facing the corridor: feet apart, chin up and hand crossed behind his back. The female bodyguard follows close behind, taking up the same position as the first.

     "Young Black," he nods as he clasps his hands behind his back.

     "Christopher," I nod back. "Where is my father?"

    "Ask that little girlfriend of yours, why don't you!?"

     "Girlfriend? Vivian?" I ask: confused.

The doctor: Mr.Winston, had mentioned this to me before, because of an accident of some sort, I have lost my memories from the past four months. I am not really as affected as I should be because my life has never really been interesting.

     "No," Christopher smile a small, mysterious smile. "Oceana."

     "Oceana?"

     My heart flutters slightly at the name but I have no memory of such a person. Oceana? Doesn't ring a bell.

     "Or maybe I should say: Thea Whyte," Christopher smirks.

     "Thea?"

My eyes widen and my heart beat increases as I think of Thea. Thea is in town? Wait, she met my father? When?

     " What does Thea have to do with my father?"

     "She killed him," Christopher states bluntly just before he leaves with his two bodyguards.

Killed.

.him?

      "Are you feeling well?" a blurry figure in a white coat asks.

      "Is this heaven?" I groan. "Are you an angel?"

     "No. I'm the Easter Bunny," the figure jokes.

     "Well...you are kind of fat," I tell the figure as it materializes into Doctor Winston.

Doctor Winston flushes with embarrassment as he coughs awkwardly and regains his professional approach.

     "Well, Grayson," he takes out his note pad. "You've been asleep for almost a week since you last woke up. I'm not sure what that visitor said, but it's taken a toll on your health."

     "Thea killed my dad," I mumble: shocked.

     "Pardon?" Mr.Winston asks as he pushes his silver-rimmed glasses up on the bridge of his nose and removes his gaze from the note pad in his hand.

     "Thea killed my dad," I mumble once again: unable to process what Christopher had told me. "She killed my dad."

     "Mr.Black? Are you feeling well?"

     "Why would she do that?" I look up at Doctor Winston with widened eyes.

     "I'm afraid I don't quite get what you're speaking of," Mr.Winston replies nervously.

     "My crush killed my dad!"

     "Mr.Black, calm down, " he counsels.

     "Don't you DARE tell me to calm down!" I exclaim, forcing myself to sit up. "I have to find out."

I climb out of bed with a racing heart as I try to get out the door. Ignoring the pleas from Winston, I force myself forward. Even in my weakened state I easily over power Doctor Winston and stumble into the cold, deserted hall.

I was one step away from running down the hall when I felt a sharp prick inject a liquid into my arm. My pupils dilate as I eye the rather huge needle in my arm. My eyes water as I look back at Doctor Winston.

     "Why...?"

Good Day Humans,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for giving my book a chance, hopefully you will read through to the end. Your inputs, ideas and reactions are always welcome. 

For those of you who came from NEVER HAVE I EVER I would like to apologize for the incompletion of that book. The chapters are under MAJOR editing and will be re-uploaded in time. Just a warning, as you can already tell, NEVER CAN I EVER  has many spoilers for NEVER HAVE I EVER if you want to wait eons for NEVER HAVE I EVER, so let it be.

As of now NEVER CAN I EVER  is my favourite book in the NEVER SERIES and I hope you give it a chance. This chapter was a bit boring, but I can assure you chapter two is much better.

In chapter two you will get to meet the kind of person Grayson was before he met Oceana. I hope I have the creativity to make you fall in love with my characters. Once again, inputs and ideas are welcome.

I'm still in highschool so updates my be slow especially around exam time. Please bare with me.

Yours Sincerely,
