FAITH

Chapter VIII

I go visit Aria with my father. We are now arrive at her room. She is awake, having a conversation with a nurse. I think they are talking about her health and how she is going. She seems fine today, I hope I am right. When she sees me, she starts waving to me. The nurse leaves and lets us alone. We hug for a while. I love being in her arms. It reminds me of my mother's ones. Aria and I talk about her cancer a lot because I wanted to know if she will be all recovered soon. She tells me she needs to stay here for a moment again, the doctors are trying their best to save her life. And then after, Aria put it nicely by saying she was sorry for Lauren. When she says it, I put my head down and wipe my teardrops off my cheek. But she arrived to see them. She opens her arms and I sneak in them. I explain her the whole story and she understands it all. I need to speak about it with someone and I know she is the one I should tell all about. After we finish to talk, I feel a little more well. She helps me a lot. Twenty minutes after, my dad and I leave the hospital in direction of our house. In the car, the memories of me and my mom come out all in the same time. It hurts right in my feels. We finally arrive at home. Before I get off the car, my father takes my hand and says : 

" I know it is hard for you. The whole situation. But I am your dad and I want to be sure you will be alright soon. If you need me, I am always there. " 

I hug him and put a kiss on his cheek. I know he will always be there for me. But right now I need to be alone more than anything. I enter in the house and go upstairs in my bedroom. I sit on my bed but I fall asleep. I wake up Saturday morning with a breakfast in front of me. Emmanuel is there and he tells me : 

" Good morning Lily. I brought you something that I made by myself. And with a little bit of help from daddy but it is not important ! I love you. "

Then he puts a little kiss on my cheek. He is si kind. I love him. Like nobody could. I eat the fabulous waffles he made me but not at all because I am not very hungry these day. The weekend was endless. And the week is boring. Finally friday, I wake up and get ready for school. I don't really love school but it makes the time passes faster because I don't just focus on what happened with my mother and I. It is the penultimate period of the day and I have science. I see Levi and I ask if we could talk for a minute. 

" Levi, I need time ... "

" It is okay Hailey, take all the time you need. I will wait for you. I promise I won't leave. "

I smile at him before I enter in our class. The period is taking a long time to finish ... It is really long ! I am bored so I start to write some things in my notebook. I have a quantity of  inspiration since a couple of days and I write a lot. The most beautiful thing I wrote is talking about all the sadness int he world.

It is the end. Of the period. Finally. On my way to my last class, I meet Hayes. 

" Hi sweetie. How are you doing ? "

" Hi Hayes ! I am feeling really good tday, thanks for asking. And you ? " I answered while playing his stupid game. 

" Good too. So we did not spend a lot of time together this week. Can I come over tonight ? We could do our homework. "

" On a friday night ? Are you kidding ? "

" No, I am not. I want to be with you. "

" I don't feel super good today Hayes so ... " 

" Then I have another reason to come ! I will be there at 7:00 pm. I already know your adress , you don't need to give it to me. See you tonight, love you xxx " 

He kisses my cheek and leaves. What the fuck just happened ? I miss something I think. Why did he kiss me ? I really need to hurry before I get late for class. English passes quickly and I take the bus. The whole family is at home doing personnal things. My bedroom is a mess. I try to clean it up a bit before Adelyn sees this. WhenI finish it, I continue to read " The Here And Now ". It is such an amazing book ! The story is so beautiful. Then, I hear my dad screaming at me :
