Chapter 3 Summer

~Freda's Pov~

Hmm... Woke up early. This is new, never happens. Like literally never happens.

Foot steps, they weren't loud enough to hear at an instant... I turned around and realised I was the only one in the room. This is never possible. Where is Precious? Argghhh... I can't be in this again and that was when I was asked "what are you in again?"

Then the question was asked a second time, "what are you in again?" THA was when the glass of my windows shattered and a little girl stood on the window and she jumped.

I woke up with a jolt and I felt my leg stiffen.

Shit, it hurts!!!

I was about to touch my leg when I felt something was stabbed into my leg. It was a knife.

I screamed with so much fear that I moved out of bed with the knife stuck in my leg. I moved sluggishly to the window because I was dripping in sweat and I couldn't breathe properly.

As I leaned against the window, I felt a sudden presence in the room, and before I could move or dodge what was coming I was already thrown out of the window.

I woke up with a terrible jolt and I forgot I slept off on the floor while I was chatting, and working on my assignments at the same time and that was when my head collided with my desk.

"Shit", was the only word that I could utter. I realised I was drenched in sweat even when my window was wide open and the air was cool but my window was not open when I slept off. Ohh well. Who cares.

I just closed my book and continued my sleep but now the thing is I couldn't sleep. I was wide awake.

Only thing to keep me busy is my phone because I have so many unread messages I needed to attend to. Don't even get me started on the Facebook issue. Jesus Christ... It's what happens when you are pretty.

I smiled to my self.

I opened my messages only to find out that Marcus was actually very pissed. Like very very pissed. I sat upright like I was in an interview and opened up his message. They were so many and I knew exactly what it was gonna be about. I smiled at first. But then.....

Marcus: What the hell Freda, do you unnecessarily have to hang up on me like am one of your toys? You have no idea how much I missed you and this is how you...." He trailed off for a while. I did read every last one of it but the part that made me scared was when he said,

Marcus: "Am honestly getting tired of the tantrums you throw. You are never serious with me but when it comes to other guys you are all cool and sweet. I think we should just take a break from all this. Good night Freda".

This last part broke me in half because this jerk had no idea how much I loved him and he has left me alone for a month now always saying he was busy when we both attend the same high school like bloody hell!!!. I threw my phone far away from me and I laid back on the floor staring at my open window. Enough night sky... The stars were so bright for the night and the sky was pitch dark blue. I did not call it black because it just wasn't.

Well that's what I think....

I breathed out heavily and that was when I felt something cold trail down my cheeks to my ears. I was crying. For the first time in a long while I felt a sudden burn in my chest, it was horrible but I did not bother standing up and I let my tears and thoughts flow like a water fall...

And I realised this holiday is going to be a very dull one. No visits, no happiness. My room was my companion.

My alarm rang so loud that I sprang up like my mom had yelled my name again. It's the usual morning alarm not the normal alarm we all know. I tried getting up but I felt a headache and my vision was blurry. Ohh snap.... This can't be happening today not today of all days. I managed to stand up but I crashed into my desk jamming my waist on the edge of my desk. A groan escaped my lips. Maybe just maybe I cried till this morning because I can still feel my hair under my ear wet.

I made my way to the kitchen and I noticed breakfast was already prepared. For the first time in almost two years if am not mistaken, my mom decided to prepare breakfast. God I was hungry but I should have known better.

I was slapped from behind.

"What the hell are you thinking of doing young lady?"

"Uhh... Mom... Good morning... I just feel dizzy and my chest burns and my eyes.........." My words are getting slurry and I can't even hear my self. Whatever happened next I have no idea, no clue.

I woke up on my bed with a woman by my side. She was wearing a white coat and she had ginger hair just like my favourite cartoon character "Merida". She was just beautiful to even be a doctor and she is elegant. I am not one to look at a person for so long but this young lady and doctor was a definition of beauty.

"Hi... My name is Doctor Anna and I would be your doctor for a while", she said while smiling. Somebody should please shoot me. How would someone be this beautiful?

"You would be my doctor"

" Yes, of course"

"Awesome because you are so pretty and you look so cool to talk to and cooperative". I blurted out.

"Freda how stupid can you be at times. Shut ya trap you thwart".

I could feel my mom roll her eyes and look at me like I was a very stupid being but that did not bother me. What bothered me was the laughter that escaped my brothers' mouth. I felt embarrassed.

"I would love a moment with Freda alone" the doctor said with a smile.

At this point I felt like I was looking at my guardian angel but what she said next caught me off guard.

"You think a lot Freda. You need to relax and let somethings be. Let them happen because they have to happen. Your mom has actually been saying a lot about you. She said that she has noticed how you enclose yourself and push everybody away from you. You smile but it doesn't reach your eyes at all. It's like it's you against the world and that's not right".

I was quiet and I did not have anything to say but then she asked,

"About your parents... How are they?" That was a delicate question to which I did not want to talk about...

"They are fine"

"Freda that's not what I want to hear"

"I can't tell you anything about my parents because even if I told you there is nothing you can do. Jack is trying to get into the university and he is never around because he works part time at so many places and I do not want to disturb him. So, whatever happens am trying to put under control". I told her in a dull manner, I was no longer smiling or looking at her face.

"Freda just relax and focus on yourself. You are too hard on yourself and it's taking a very bad toil on your fragile body and you are pretty even with a bed hair. You have a boyfriend don't you?" Again I was caught off guard.

What da hell is it with this lady asking questions that I am not expecting.

I raised my head and gave a little smile but then I recalled that I had a very serious issue with Marcus,

"Yeah I do have a boyfriend"

She smiled, "Allow what to be to be Freda. I know you love your family and this boy you speak of just by the look and smile you give away easily. Just let what is meant to happen happen love. For now you need to rest. You are completely stressed out".

And with that she left the room and wished me a happy summer break.

I spent the entire summer break with my room and family. Nothing else. I really wasn't ready to text Marcus or confront him so I just let him be.

What wonderful summer break.
