CHAPTER 17- SECRETS
FLORA'S P.O.V
“Flora.” My mum whispered in tears and hugged me really hard. I was crying as well, I was able to talk again after 5 years.
“M-m-u-m?” I whispered and she pulled away from the hug.
“Yes, sweetie?”
“I-I l-o-v-v-e y-y-o-u.” I was still stuttering but I was getting there hopefully.
“Oh, honey, I love you too.” She said and hugged me again and I tried to hug her with one arm seeing as the other one was in a cast.
I looked over her shoulder to see Noah enter the room and smiled and he smiled back. I raised my eyebrows in question as to what he was doing here. He was my boyfriend but didn’t he have other things to do?
I looked down, blushing. The thought of him as my boyfriend even made me blush. I looked back up and he was walking towards me so I pulled away from the hug with my mum and lifted my left hand in a single wave and he nodded towards me. My mum wiped her tears away, nodded at Noah and then got out of the room.
I just had an appointment with the doctor. He said, slightly smiling now. I nodded for him to continue and he did.They say that my ear is healing faster than usual and I’m going to be able to hear earlier than 8 weeks. In a month, I’m going to be able to hear your voice.
He looked so happy and I wanted to say something but I couldn’t because of the cast and it made me frustrated. Noah probably understanding my frustration gave me his phone so I could use the notes section.
I’m so happy for you. I wrote in the notes, actually genuinely happy for him.
Did you start talking yet? He asked and I nodded.
I started to talk about 10 minutes before you came in. I wrote and he smiled widely.
He had been sitting on the side of the bed, close to me and now he leaned down and gave me a small peck on my cheek, close to my neck and I breathed hard, like I was panting. Calm down Flora, it looks like you’re having an asthma attack. He pulled back and stared into my eyes. He opened his mouth, like he was about to say something then quickly closed it.
What was he going to say? I touched his knee with my left hand and gave it a squeeze. Was it something very important? If it were really important he probably would have said it.
His phone gave a slight buzz and he pulled it out, his phone giving out vibrations.
I have to go now, my parents are waiting for me downstairs, and we’re going to go to a specialist. I’ll see you later okay? Bye. He got up, gave me a kiss on the cheek and left the room.
What was wrong with him? What was he hiding from me?
