Chapter 3 Conversations

Love me back to life

Chapter 3.

"I like labrinth too but he isn't my favorite artist " I said to James.

I visited him in the hospital. I had visited him several times since I heard the news of his eye cancer and it became a usual thing for me to visit him after classes everyday

He was admitted and his left eye was removed.

" I think I should get an eye patch" we both laughed at his bitter sweet joke.

I dropped my get-well-soon card and I left to my house.

I layed on my bed, deep in thoughts. I felt this deep overwhelming feeling in my heart.

I realised I was in love with this one-eyed boy. I couldn't believe it and I had doubts in me.

Was it love?

Was it infatuation?

Thoughts of James constantly overwhelmed me.

I spent most of my evening hours with him; I tried to suppress the feelings I had for him

Come to think of it, its so hard to pretend not to love someone you love.

It was almost similar to a sci-fi book I read some months ago about a celestial being named PLUTO .

In this book, Pluto fell in love with a human which was against the rules of her cyclopian clan.

And In order to please her people she tried to hide her feelings from the Cyclops and humans till her death.

I cherish the friendship we had and I didn't want to loose it.

The next day he called and told me they discharged him from the hospital and he was eighty percent okay.

I sat alone in the library in my usual and favourite spot where I could easily get hold of the science books I loved and read.

I felt someone wrap his hands around my eyes so I couldn't see.

" hey nerd whatcha reading?" The voice was familiar

"James can u remove your hands from eyes" I replied

I was so happy to see him.

"Wait I thought....."

Then he cut it quickly " my eyes were removed?"

"Yes"

"The left eye is fake" James whispered into my ears

And then the feeling of sadness crept in.

I faked a smile and I knew deep down he noticed the expression on my face.

"What is your biggest fear?"

"I don't know girl....my biggest fear is choking on a sandwich" he replied sarcastically

And then I said to him

"James! Dude! Stop it! I'm serious "

He asked me if we could go see the movies and I agreed to go.

I thought of it as a mini date, i had already started fantasizing on a future I wasnt even sure of.

Probably we would get married and have four children and we would win noble prizes together like Marie curie and her husband.

We would travel to Japan to spend our honey moon or actually travel to the moon for our honey moon.

We would visit nasa headquarters, take pictures and mount it on our walls.

We would name our kids after the four Galileo moon's of JUPITER.

We would.....

"Fel, did you enjoy the movie" he asked me

I was so deep in thoughts that I forgot I was holding a pop corn , sitting next to the boy I love in a cinema.

I replied a yes even though I didn't see half of the whole movie we prepared for.

We left to a recreation pack afterwards and he bought me cotton candies.

I wondered why he acted so nice, he was probably doing it because I always came around when he was at the hospital ,I thought...

It was 5pm in the evening and we sat alone in a roller coaster.

He was scared of heights and it made my whole experience with him very funny.

We laughed and laughed and laughed

And then my eyes cut his eyes, he looked at me and then looked at my lips

He pushed his face forward and den I removed the popcorn on his face and then we both laughed.

It must have been very embarrassing for him.

I quickly realised that he had some feelings for me even though he hadn't said anything yet.

"Can I walk you home" he asked

We walked together in the noisy streets filled with people.

He tried touching my hands but I quickly removed it and I shifted to the other end.

I got home and I saw my mom with a man, I greeted both of them and left for my room immediately.

I picked up a pen and opened my gigantic diary and wrote my thoughts down.

I took my bath and I went down for dinner. The man wasn't there any longer

"Mom I met a boy at school and I think we both have feelings for each other"

"Oh my darling your growing up" she looked very excited and It made me blush a little

"How was work" I asked her and we talked and talked til I felt sleepy and I went to my room to sleep.

The next day I sat and flipped the pages of my anatomy book in my class when James walked in and passed a paper to me .I opened it to read

"I like you Felicia, if your cool about it tell me but if your not tell me I'll understand"

I smiled I couldn't look at him .

********

The term was over and we were given a long break I was invited to spend a night with him.

I asked for permission from my mom and I was allowed to go.

I packed some of my personal belongings and I left to his house.

His mom was so happy to see me ,she was a single parent just like mine which made it much easier for me to communicate.

We were awake till 2am in the morning in his room talking about alot of things.

I layed on his chest while be played with my short hair.
