Stood Up

Kristen's POV I felt warm arms around me and cling to him, crying. 'It's okay. Come one" Ian says Slowly, I begun to be okay and started breathing normally. 'When was the last time you went to the doctor? Why aren't you healing or changing?" he asks 'I did visit her maybe last week. I don't know why am I still like this. You think I want this?" I ask my voice breaking He sighed 'Okay. We should go down. To let your mind wander for a bit. The rain already stopped." I nod and he helped me downstairs. He made me a hot chocolate and currently cooking dinner. 'Sebastian was here a while ago. He said, he wanted to check on you." He says with his back on me 'Oh uhm, would you mind if I went out for a bit? I'll just go and thank him" I say 'Okay, hurry back" I nod and went out to go to the house next door. I knock on the door, Melody opened it. 'Hello Dear. Are you okay?" she asks 'Yes, uhm thank you for sending Sebastian earlier. Ian told me about it" I say 'Oh, you want to thank us? Sebastian is not here now, he went home to pick up some things" she says 'Oh, okay. I'll just send him a message. Thank you again" I tell her, I hugged her and placed a peck on her cheek After that I went back and sent Sebastian a message. After 30minutes, I insisted on washing the dishes. I heard a car parked. It must be him. I continued washing the dishes. When I was done. I took a peek outside and there he goes again. Leaving grandma Melody alone at this hour. I sighed and shake my head. 'Ian, uhm I'll head to my room. Do you still need anything?" I ask him He shakes his head 'It's okay. I can handle it. I just need to make a phone call" I froze when a sudden pain, in my chest goes again. I held my chest tight. 'Kristen? Are you okay?" he asks 'Yeah, I---I just need to rest" I say and he nods I went to my room and laid down. I was glad that I laid down for a bit because I didn't drift off to sleep, instead, I passed out. ----- I groan. It feels like I have been hit by a truck. My whole body is aching. 'Good you're awake" Ian says 'What time is it?" I ask 'It's two in the morning. Can you explain this to me?" he asks holding a paper out. My eyes widen. 'You had me checked up?! Why would you do that?!" I shouted 'You have no right to be mad at me right now. I should be the one who's mad right now! Don't you dare deny this anymore. Now, tell me, since fucking when?" he I couldn't contain my tears anymore. 'Don't fucking cry! Explain this to me or I'm calling dad over" he says and I look at him 'Y—you didn't---you didn't tell him yet?" I ask 'No" he says 'I'm sorry" I cry 'I didn't know how to tell you. When we had dinner, I saw you all were happy. I thought maybe you wouldn't care if something might happen to me. I didn't think this through. Please Ian don't tell anyone about this. I'm taking medicines now and getting check-up" I explain 'When?" He asks 'The first time you went here. I just got home from the hospital" He frustratingly palm his face and run his fingers through his hair. 'Does dad know the reason why your mom died?" he asks suddenly 'I don't know, no one was there except for grandma and grandpa" I say pertaining to Melody He went silent. I was stare at him the entire time, hoping that he wouldn't ask more or tell dad anything. I would be a burden to them. 'Fine. I won't, but on one condition" he says 'Yes, anything what is it?" 'You need to tell me everything. Update me on everything. I should always know where you are" I didn't like his idea but I had to agree because if I didn't, he would tell my secret that I have been hiding for years. ----- 'Abby, can you give me the papers over there please?" I ask Abby and she gives it to me 'This one is done. We should start separating the papers that we already finished form the ones we're still working on" I tell everyone and they all start checking Then a knock on the door was heard. 'I'll get it" Mathew says, so I got back to work 'Oh, Kristen. It's for you" he shouts 'Okay. I'm coming!" I tell and he walked back, I went to look who it was only to find, Sebastian on the door, holding a bouquet of flowers. Not this again. I sighed 'Do you need anything?" I ask, he gave me the flowers 'Who's this for?" I ask 'For you, who else" he says 'Look, Sebastian. You're a great guy and all but it's just I'm not in the mood for dating anyone right now" 'Right now. So maybe later then?" he asks 'You're hopeless" I was about to close the door when he stops it from closing 'Can you at least give me a chance? I heard you gave Kyle a chance, so why not me?" 'You're talking a lot lately" I just say 'Yeah, I'm trying to be. For you" I sighed. 'Fine. I'm giving you a week. But if nothing changes, it's over. Got it?" He nods 'Okay then. Go out with me tonight then." 'Can we just go tomorrow night? Why today?" 'Nope. Tonight. I need to make the most out of it" he says 'Fine. Leave" I say and he does I don't get it. What does people see in me. 'Are you sure that was a good Idea?" Abby asks 'Kyle would be upset but he can't be upset forever, right?" I say and she nods 'Hope it ends well then" I hope so too. --------- 'Why?" Kyle asks hurt After I told him what I decided to do, he decided to talk to me about it instead of ignoring me. I would have been grateful if he just ignored me. 'Kyle, I want to be fair. I gave you a chance, didn't I?" I ask 'Yes, but that's different. What If you fall for him? What do I do then?" 'If I do fall for him, well that means, we weren't really meant to be. Like I always say, you deserve someone better, Kyle" He didn't answer me, he just looked at me with pain in his eyes. 'So, you're not going to slash out the fact that you might fall in love with him?" he ask 'I----" Well, I don't know what to say. Normally, I would say it would be impossible for me to fall in-love again. But somehow, I can't. Like I can't say no to Sebastian 'Look, let's just wait and see. I don't want to lose you Kyle, I have you for like my whole life. So, please, understand this" I tell him 'Fine. But he does anything stupid, I won't promise anything" he says and left me standing here alone. I close my door and prepared for me supposed to be date. He sent me a message earlier saying he couldn't come and pick me up, so Instead he sent me the address. That's a minus point. After getting dressed. I hail for a cab and went on my own. When I got there, a lady took me to our reserved seat. Well at least, he reserved something nice. 30 minutes had passed and he still wasn't here. Well, so much for being on time. 'Miss?" I ask 'Yes, Ma'am?" 'Uhm yeah, Can I leave now? How much for the bill?" I ask 'Oh, the bill is already covered before you even arrive. Are you sure you want to leave Ma'am?" 'Yes" I answer and he nods, as she helped me out. Once I left. I went directly to my house. Not even a message why he was late. Then my phone dinged. I read the message and It was Kyle. --Kristen, did you go out on a date??— --Yes but he didn't show up. I got stood up—I replied --Yeah, I figured. When I went home earlier, I saw him going to Bianca's—he said --It's fine. At least now I know. Thank you for telling me though. Good Night Kyle, see you tomorrow— --Okay. Wait for me tomorrow and I'll pick you up--- he says and I didn't reply back I change my clothes and went to bed after. I kept waiting for his call or even a message but none. I sighed. I expected so much from you. Maybe I shouldn't have.
