Your eyes open wide your lips baby peach frozen by the mid winter breeze I let out a sigh making it sound like how bored I am just being with you you look over your shoulder and question me whether I m bored but I nod and ask you how school was you smile and say it was alright you come over to plant a kiss on my lip but I dodge and give a hug and I I question whether this relationship was going anywhere you looked over and said are you trying to breakup with me I give a disapproving nod he looks me in the eye I can see his hazelnut brown eyes glitter like he might just cry me
a river I try hide my Tears by telling him we had to move on we were in a place none of us wanted to be in this relationship was to toxic as soon as I end my sentence he shuts my mouth by kissing goodbye as soon as I pull back he says do you need a ride back I nod and we get into his mustang and drive home to my house I pop out of the car he says we can still be friends right I nod and say yeah why not your ain't so bad yourself
He chuckles a little he
questions me why I actually want to end our relationship
I take a deep breath and say haven't I already explained myself I mean come on do I really have to explain myself to you like you seriously I thought you were more understanding about this he says Kyra come on I know you and you don't just give those kinds of reasons. I can't stand how he thinks that I am that predictable. You know what
I am so done with you. I run back to my house and I shut the door and make sure It's locked I peep thru the window to see if he's still there and he isn't there that only means that he is feeling the worst he's ever felt . I walk into the kitchen open the fridge and grab a bottle of lemonade then I grab a bag of kettle chips and run up to my room
An hour later I hear my brother's car pull up. I turn the PowerPoint in the theater room and wait for him as soon as he sees the theater room light on he comes to join me.he walks in all macho and brave he sees me he asks me what's wrong and I say I broke up with ivan and I take a sip of my lemonade. He says hey it's fine so what movie do you wanna watch I tell him I'm not in the mood he says OK why don't we watch a series. I give a sigh and he plays umbrella Academy because we've been binge watching it for weeks. He sits on his bean bag and comes closer to me to get some chips but I smack his hand and he wimps like a dog. He runs downstairs to get some snacks while my phone buzzes it's Maya. She says I heard are you OK. Maya and Ivan are siblings. I don't text back.after awhile the doorbell rings since Alex was in the kitchen he got the door. Maya comes straight to the cinema and plops right next to me. She says forget about him he is so full of himself. I tell her Maya you do know that you would be the last person I'd ever ask for advice after a breakup. She says, oh thank god I was hoping not to give you any advice. Alex comes up with a picnic basket full of snacks. I say mum's going to kill you. He says kid unlike you I work and get some dollar bills. Maya picks up a packet of sour patches. She says you know you want some. I can't resist she knows how much I love sour candy and it's so annoying how she knows me more than I know myself. It's crazy. I say OK fine but just 1. She says are you sure. Yes. As we are watching the last two episodes my mum pulls up on the driveway and calls us down to help her out with groceries. We run down as quick as possible to help her out before she does it alone. We bring the bags in and help mum put it away then mum questions us where are all the snacks.at first Alex doesn't want to own up that's when he sees me
just about to tell mum it was me he owns up to it. Then he promises mum to buy all of it once he gets his paycheck. Maya whispers in my ear and says like he's ever going to. After we put away all the groceries mum thought it would be a great idea for Alex to take us to the parade in city hall.alex says mum are you kidding me I can't be babysitting two fat pigeons that can't fly. Maya chuckles softly and says were not pigeons you baboon and I say that's enough cut it out you guys.
We get ready for the parade.
Alex looks at me getting ready in my leotard and says why are dressed like a hippie. I ignore the word hippie and say I am part of the parade. Is that why mum is dragging me to this parade but are you OK to perform. I nod and say hey I can't be crying over a boy who wasn't there for me or isn't there for me. Maya walks in with her leotard and says this is to big for me I say you should ve got the right size instead of picking the perfect colour. She ignores my comment and looks for my lip balm and I ask her
how we should do our hair and she says well you could Dutch braid it into a high bun. I say hey not bad. Alex who is still standing in my room says nah maybe a side braid on each said and a Dutch braid on the bottom and into a high bun. Alex you do know that's going take forever to do right. I do Maya's hair first. Maya has dark brown hair, brown eyes, straight long hair, long legs and crazy Harry Potter fan.after I'm done with Maya's hair and I do mine.as soon as I am done we get into the car and hurry up cause we were already late.at this event I am the head of our ballet and gym school so I have to start the parade.maya comes in the middle that tells everyone that it's the middle. Alex says so technically your the starter and she calls it when it's halftime.Maya says you play to much of ps4. He agrees and stops the car and says we have arrived at your destination. Maya and I
jump out of the car as quick as we can. We run to the changing room and put on our full costume. There was knock on the door. I open the door and it's Colin he's the person who tells us that we're on set in 5 minutes. I can feel butterflies in my stomach. I never been this nervous. Opening for a parade that's going to be telecast worldwide. After a few minutes mum and dad come in to wish good luck. Dad works for the government and he is also the CEO of patrol station. Mum is a doctor so we kids pretty much grew up healthy and fit. After they leave Colin comes in and asks us to take a place. I stand at the front with the American flag and a banner which I will cartwheel to and a bucket of candy. My phone buzzes again and this time it's Instagram. It's Ivan its him with a girl in it she's from another close by our school aarrgghh I knew there was something fishy going on. He's profile says done with my ex whose next. I immediately block him on WhatsApp and unfollow him on Instagram.i delete everything I have of him.i felt so angry, sad, annoyed and I just couldn't take the bullshit he put me thru. I pass my phone to my mum and run back to position. Colin screams 3 seconds.we all do a countdown to one and the barriers open. Everyone flies out the clown the joker and many others. I walk out by pulling out a banner and waving it then I throw out candy to the little ones. The crowd goes wild and the parade begins. As I am in the middle waiting for Maya she comes out looking like a mess as I walk to the end with her and we finish of the parade with a double cart wheel and a back flip. After everyone has done congratulating everyone. I ask Maya What's up she says uhhm I can't live in a life like this.Whats wrong Maya she says my parents are getting divorced. What do you mean what happened. My dad had an affair and my mum doesn't trust him and they were always quarreling at each other. I tell her it's okay your going to be okay I'm here for you okay
I've got your back at anytime. We walk out of the dressing rooms changed into our normal clothes and then I see Ivan standing next to his car with the girl on the picture and their both just looking at us walk. He calls Maya and says hurry up we're going to be late. She asks where are we going. we're going to the court. Maya turns to me and hugs goodbye. I hug her as tight as possible I say text me what happens. She nods and she runs of. I walk back to my brother's car but it's not there then o realise my phone isn't with me either so I run back to the dressing room then out to the street then I see my dads car parked out I run to the car and I wait for my parents to come I sit on the ground and just stare at the sky a few minutes pass and my head starts hurting so bad my heart starts beating so fast I suddenly drop to the ground and I don't hear anything or see anything. I then hear another sound like the sound of an ambulance. I still don't see anything. Suddenly I hear water droppings and a monitor beeping but I don't wake up. Suddenly my heart stops. Seconds pass and I hear a shock and I wake and the doctor says oh thank god good job kid your life is on the line. Later on mum and dad come in they look all worried and sad. I ask mum I'm fine know right the doctor walks in just at the right time and says unfortunately kid your heart has failed you and your lungs are closed to getting infected I shall not say by what. The only two ways we can keep you alive is by having a heart transplant or running your heart on electricity. What about my lungs? We will see what we can do about it alright. I ask how long do I have to live. He says uhmm about a month. I look at my parents tears go down mums cheek.
