A Friend Came to Help

-
I rung the door bell , Finn was standing behind me and after a while , a fair skinned lady in her mid-forties opened the door . She looked terrible as if she had cried for a long time . We greeted her and introduced us . She gave a faint smile and showed us the way to go inside. We entered the house , it was not that big but the way the furniture was arranged , it looked classic. The lady told us to sit on the sofa and she told us to wait as she was going to call Lucia.  I stopped her in middle and asked her out of my curiosity , ' Excuse me aunt , I really sorry to interrupt you but you are ?' .The lady smiled at me and said , ' I am Lucia's mother' . And then she left . After 10 minutes Lucia came , she looked pale . Her hairs were were poorly tied and her face was dry red . Her mother told us to talk while she went to prepare us some tea . I asked Lucia if she was okay . She tried to reply but she could not so she gave me a slight nod . I told her , " Lucia , if there is anything feel free to tell me , telling may lighten your burden . Don't worry everything is fine " . She glanced at Finn who was sitting beside me and then again started to stare at floor.  Finn probably made her uncomfortable,  I looked at him and he seemed to understand the situation.  He stood up and said , " You two can continue,  I will be back after sometime " . I gave him a nod . I now sat closer to Lucia,  I held her hand and said , " what happened ? " she stared at me , her eyes were red . She started to cry,  I patted her and said , " cry it all out " . While she was crying her mother peeked and probably she was also about to cry so she left right away . Lucia continued to cry for about 15 minutes . She was calm and I told her that ," probably we should go out for a walk " . She agreed and went out , few minutes went out in silence . I decided to break the silence , " I am sorry , but I am not good at comforting people , hope you can understand ". She smiled,  " I don't know about others but you were quite good in comforting me ".
I said , " Thank you , glad to hear " .
" By the way , don't you want to know why I cried and why was I absent from school for over a week ". 
" I don't know the reason , but I know that the reason is big enough to make you a bit uncomfortable to tell me right away ". 
"My father got into an accident , he is right now in ICU and .... in co..com...coma". 
I froze , my heart beat rose and I had another blanckout but I controlled myself . Lucia saw me and asked me why was I silent.  I could not tell her condition so I told her another truth , " Frankly , I don't know how to react but I just feel sorry for you because somehow I understand that feeling of fear of losing someone , and right , its getting late now you should head home now and I will come to meet you tomorrow again. Try to think less and buckle up my friend you will be alright ". She left and my condition was no good , my blackouts were getting severe . I sat on a chair at the corner of the road . I inhaled and exhaled deeply to calm myself down but could not .
Suddenly , a voice came up , " are you okay ?"..............

 I gave them a smile. She said," I mean, I know but I thought you had feelings for him because you met him way before than I did, I think you two should have a good talk. I am going to call mom and I will tell her that I am staying with you today and you can't object". And before I could say anything she left the living room. And it was us two. It was awkward. I decided to break the silence and spoke first," So, how did that happen. I am rather excited to hear about it". He was staring at the floor," Honestly, I don't know how it started but as we spent some time together. We realized that we had a lot in common , so it just happened like that. Honestly speaking, I also thought that....that you'. And he could not complete his sentence. So I completed it on his behalf," So you thought that I had feelings for you. He gave me a slight nod. I smiled at him and said truthfully," You don't need to feel guilty about anything. I have always th...

Still trying to digest it

 I went back to my seat an asked them how was it and they said I killed it. I hope so too. After the graduation ceremony, we clicked pictures. I was happy to see all of them happy. The feeling was surreal. After that we went home and all of us went out for dinner. Me, Diego, Petra, Paige, Brian and Petra's parents. Brian's parents could not make it to the dinner because her mother was extremely tired from the event and her father didn't want to leave her alone. After spending the one of the best days of my life, we were walking back. I went to Diego and told him slowly, "Can I visit mom and Dad tomorrow?" "Of course you can, but I will..." I cut him off "No. This time I want to be alone and trust me I will be fine" I looked at him with puppy eyes and he had to give up. After that he went to drop Petra and me and Brian were on our way home. "Can you believe we are going to be uni students in a next couple of weeks" I asked him still no...

Borrowed Life

Lucia was watching me nervously because she knew I hated Finn . But what else could we do other than the completing the project together . We had to complete the project after completing our school classes . So we decided to go to library after classes , and we started working on the project and that didn't go too bad.  I went home , sat in front of the mirror . I used to do this quite a lot whenever I felt depressed but today it was quite a different feeling . My days were going very well with good classmates and teachers , my grades were also fine . But , something was missing , somewhere inside my heart I felt that I was lacking something but what that was supposed to be find out . That feeling got worse in quite sometime , istarted to feel suffocated , I felt that there was something heavy on my chest stopping me from breathing . And then I started sobbing and didn't know the reason but I just wanted to cry , so I just let my tears flow. I holded my mouth with my hand so ha...
