BestSelf {book 2}

1.

I keep waking up sweating and out of breath because every time I close my eyes I have flashbacks of that day.

* flash back leaving the hospital *

* Keenan's P.O.V *

She hasn't said a word since we left the hospital. She was in the hospital for almost two weeks because she had a lot of healing to do.

Her mother and I emailed all her professors letting them know the news and they all decided to exempt her from her final exams.

Tiara is a great student so they knew she would pass them , she had A's & B's this semester.

The others obviously had to go back but I stayed , I slept in here with her , ate in here with her. Only time I left was to go shower.

Korey stayed a little longer than everyone also, she sleeps a lot so when he would be in here she was either sleeping or if she was up, she still didn't say too much just looked.

That's all she ever did was just look around or stare into space.

"Do you think she's ever going to be the same again?" Korey asked me.

"Honestly no, and even if she were to become better, she'll never be the same Ti" I told him how I truthfully felt.

Her aunt Yasmine got here a few days ago and has also been staying here, she got a hotel with Ti's parents and my mom.

No one has really been saying much to each other because no one has anything to say which is not like us.

It's almost like a routine, but today is the day we can finally leave. Her father and his brother were able to pack up her stuff from her dorm and they're driving her things back to Detroit while the rest of us are flying out.

Since she couldn't walk, they decided to put her in a wheel chair.

"Hey Ti, we're going home today. I brought you some food" which I know she probably won't touch but I still get it for her anyways.

She still isn't saying anything , she did grab for the juice though.

"I know you don't like this, all of us taking care of you and constantly asking you how are you feeling and if you're feeling better, we all know the answers to those questions but we still ask because we just want to make sure because we love you Ti.." I told her.

She just looked at me , her hair was slicked up into a messy bun that her sister did because she refused to have her sister out here looking crazy and that's a Tay'Vian quote.

Then she looked away. That's all we ever got from her eye contact for a few seconds and then she would look away, like she wanted to say something but she couldn't.

"You have to eat Ti" I said to her while reaching for her hand. Anytime she felt someone about to touch her she would move away.

That was the most heartbreaking thing I ever had to experience "give it some time Keenan" Korey told me while patting my back.

She would look at Korey and analyze him then look away. When he would talk to her she would listen to him. She didn't show any signs of wanting him to go away.
