Unbuckle

Grandma's Twin Flame

Grandma's eyes remain close laying on the hospital bed Father and Mother talk outside of the room with the doctor, their face expression are crossed with worry and confusion looking through the window out onto the hallway. Matt pushes the door open in a rush following Tyson. "What did you do to Grandma?" Matt's voice is low his body stiff with his head down but his eye facing up towards me. "She did nothing" Tyson jumps little on my lap giving me a quick kiss on the cheek. His cute innocent child voice make's me want to embrace him so I do. Mother enters the room telling that they are going home but I didn't feel like going yet. Leaving grandma feels wrong. I'v been with Mother and Grandmas nurse all this afternoon in the hospital but she hadn't woken up yet. "I'll stay for a bit longer if that's okay? Mother nods her head as Tyson runs out of the room leaving Father to catch him in the hallway. Matt gives me a lazy wave and walks out with Mother hand in hand. Grandma's Nurse reads a book called Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee; By Dee Brown while time passes on the other side of the bed. I get a text from Cody at nine O'clock.

**Hope everything is okay, miss you already,, call later yeah?** My cheeks burn as I type back a reply.

**Thanks me too, sure; two kisses emoji** It loads for a couple of seconds and sends through.

I hear grandma sigh as she opens her eyes searching around the room. The nurse has fallen asleep with the book opened at her chest. She reaches for me calling my name. "Yes Grandma I'm here" She gives me a warm smile. "You have that sparkle" She says and nods her head in delight. I ask her what she meant by that and hoped she had not forgotten what she'd said. "You've meet your twin flame, that is good my dear" She sits up straightening her back onto the bed. "You know about the twin flame thing?" She touches her hands up towards her mouth. "oh yes I sure in deed do, Lucas was mine" Lucas? What about Grandpa? When he was around everyone could see their love was strong even when grandma feel sick he still looked and took care of her like a pearl but it worsened when he past away. "Lucas?" My voice sounded puzzled. "We meet in high school, he was a year older then I; he wasn't shy but he wasn't a big shot either." She pause's with fear. "Don't do what I did Sabrina...I am what I am today because of it" "Do what..Grandma?" She covers her eyes and inhales a sigh. "Don't fight it" She drops her hand to her lap and then her face expression changes. "Who are you?" My hands move away grandma starts screaming the her Nurse wakes up in a jump and holds her down while a rush of doctors and four other nurse's rushes into the room. I tire falls off my cheek wiping off the evidence as I exit out of the hallway and into the car parking without looking back at grandma. I turn on the radio in my car and the engine turns the wheels out to the main road. My chest remains tight as my eyes becomes way to glassy for me to see the road up ahead that makes me pull over to the side of the road breaking down in a half fit cry that when I arrive home at midnight unlocking the door my eyes feel swollen. Father sends me to jolt at his appearance sitting in the kitchen in the dark. He is in a dark blue night grown with a coffee mug in his hand to keep him up from not falling asleep. "Hey, Grandma woke up" My voice sounded in a fizz. He nods his head showing his thick double chin hanging from his neck. "That's good" He finally says putting the cup in the stink. I remain unmoving in my hoodie. "Goodnight" I hurry upstairs into my bedroom closing the door behind me trying not make a loud clicking noise. I light a candle on my nightstand with a click of my thump and index finger. Fresh cold water touches my forehead as little drops into the stink, my body loosens as I wash my face and my skin becomes relaxed getting changed into my pajamas and sliding in my unmade bed. I send a cute goodnight text message to Cody before my eye lids become heavy and everything goes black for what feels like a few minutes. A bright light opens my eyes as my body remains laying in a Rushmore's seeing myself in the mirror in the science room with a group of girls around me. There face expression is compressed with fine lines on their lips and around their eyes. They start to kick me but I don't feel it or hear there name callings; one of the girls on my right gets ready to spit a thick slim ball out of her mouth but then a loud growl makes the group stop and stare in front of me in terror. "Its just a coyote" Teresa's voice echo's within the room as she walks in front girls and that's when I see Noah's knife in front of me. His voice whispers in my ear. "Choose Better" I grab the knife wedging s it into Teresa. Her face is in shock as the rest of the girls screams; the waves on my skin raise higher sending the coyote that now looks like a clean white wolf, its claws at her neck leaving blood spray onto the walls. "This is for betraying us" I watch her taking its last breath as Noah embrace's me from behind. His arms are cold, appearing pale and the scars from the fire are fresh. "I'm proud of you Sabrina" his voice sounded distant. The wolf comes back purring at my legs. "Seems like you have moved on" I turn my head to Noah but his gone and so has his firm touch. "Sabrina?"Williams voice makes me look down towards the bloody wolf eyes where its eyes are shaped into an oval. I drop the knife hitting the floor, the sound of the high pitch of the sliver jolts my eyes open to my bedroom where my candle wax is melted completely and the flame is out on my nightstand. I stay laying in my bed sheets for about ten minutes until I decide to get up ready for school. I put on heavy makeup on this morning as my eye's still look swollen and my eyes have purple circles underneath them due to late night sleeps and early wake ups. The morning sky seems grey as it turns into winter with the wind sending my skin with goosebumps as I eat my butter and jam toast on the porch with Father while he reads the news paper sipping on his black coffee. Tyson and Matt come out with Mother onto the porch with there three layers of winter jackets. Father and I wave goodbye as they drive out the drive way. Father and I talk about his new job; that his boss is inviting him to a meeting tomorrow night and he might get a promotion, which means we might have enough money for grandma's treatments. I hope so its the best news we need at the moment. My mind circle's on the thoughts on my mind driving to school on my own as Ole is not feeling to well today and decides to skip it. The sun peeks through the clouds exiting the car park into the hallway, Emily greets me with a quick warm hug and so dose Sandy; following Ben giving me a fist pump. Dee holds a donut box in her hands, she offers a strawberry donut but I kindly decline and then gives one to Ben. They rumble about Hannah's party that I missed last night that sends me in boredom but then its strikes me of the news that William and Cody got into a fight. "What was it over?" I ask as Ben answers while eating his strawberry donuts. "Something with Brook, Wheels and Cody, knowing Brook is such a flirt and you know wheels and her had a thing" Emily cuts him out licking her sugary finger tips. "No way, it has to be more then that! That doesn't make any sense?" Emily's hair bounce's when she talks. I know one thing and that is, it doesn't make sense at all. Cody didn't reply to my last text message last night and he didn't call. I hope Cody is alright. Sandy knocks Ben's arm to stop him talking as the girls realize's my blank emotion on my face that I feel "Sabrina...I'm sorry" I cut Ben off this time. "Its okay, I.." Ben, Sandy and Dee walk off in front of Emily and I . She touches my arm making eye contact. "William wouldn't do things like this for no reason, despite what did happen to Cody, I know William wouldn't do this to hurt you deliberately" She wipes a tire away from my cheeks. I know Emily wouldn't lie to me and I know she mean well but this feels way to much. The first bell rings as I get to my locker getting my books out for English and Language Arts. English period went really fast, with the subject of the movie The Ten Thing I Hate About You Quiz that I watch about thirteen times and Language Arts was just a blur of words on a broad that I was coping into my text book. Cody was no where to be seen all morning and with Art next period after lunch I wasn't looking forward to seeing William. I barely eat my vegetable soup as it gets cold at the touch on my spoon. Hannah joins our table talking to Dee and Sandy about their nails being over due and they plan to get them done together after school today; they invite Emily and I as we kindly agree to come with. Maybe I'l get my toe nails done instead with Lisa as she joins in on the conversation. Max and William join on our table with there food trays one sitting beside Ben and the other next Hannah . By this rate of people joining us on the table we might need to add a table in. "Hey" William sits in his stool chair he wears tight jeans and leather jacks that makes my reaction advise against it. I don't reply to him taking a sit next to him as Teacher Kev walks into the science room closing the door behind him. "Let me explain" William voice is in a whisper as Teacher Kev explains what we are doing in science class. "Go on" I match his voice tone. His lips moves and I listen opening the text book that Kev puts on our table to share. The subject on rescuing moths and there out door systems. He finishes talking, I want to believe him that my heart tells me its true but my mind tells me something else. "Can anyone tell me that is true because I'm hearing heaps of different versions to it?" William pause's his jaws twitches and then gives a rolling motion. "Peter was there, go ask him he'll vouch it happened" My chest sends a sharp pain but it subsides as I take a few breaths through my lungs. "Okay I will" I play with my rubber in my hands as I listen in people around the class take in turns reading through the three chapters. I keep to my side as he keep to his side as I follow the words along William listen without looking at the text book. The bell rings as I race towards my locker that takes two goes to unlock my locker. Lisa and Peter walk down the hall way holding hands. It felt wrong to intrude on the lovers walk line but I had to get to the down bottom of it and know if William is lieing or not.
