The week was just about to start and I couldn't help but get a bad looming feeling of chaos that was gonna happen.
In a matter of seconds, the entirety of Wentworth High had quickly believed that me and Kai were officially over.
Yet nobody had any idea that the real thing between us had actually started.
But Damn was our relationship that shallow to them, I don't blame them considering Kai's history but cmon they should at least know I had standards before my coma.
So Kai and I had decided to pretend to be on a break for at least a few days before somehow "getting back together".
There was a field trip today so trying to avoid each other when we basically have the same friend groups might be a genuine challenge.
Oh who am I kidding it definitely will
On the brighter side, Kai's uncle was doing amazing and was just getting some bed rest with a few changes to his diet. Thank God
I hum happily in my kitchen while Kai is sitting on the kitchen bar and watching me prepare bagels for the both of us before we head off to school.
"Nah mine has less cheese on that slice", he says with a frown.
"You want no bagel at all bitch?", I inquire turning around the knife propped in my hand a half-playful glare on my face.
"No ma'am", he says laughing a bit at my murderous stance.
I know it's not the first time he's been in my house but definitely the first time where he was here openly.
I couldn't care less what my family thought about it though but I was curious on what there reactions would be and I guess I'm about to find out.
I hear multiple footsteps step into the kitchen but don't bother to look.
Seeing as how I don't immediately hear a screeching irritating voice I can just tell that it's my siblings and not my mom.
I wasn't exactly sure how to feel about them anymore they've been keeping their distance amazingly. That's the only thing I can respect.
Quickly Kai steps off the kitchen stool and stands next to me grabbing my waist before whispering in my ear.
"Should I say hello or something, 'cause I know they treated you like shit and I don't exactly like 'em", he says irritated a harsh glare forming on his face.
I look at him with a proud grin on my face.
"Trust me one of them is gonna speak first, they've been a bit more bold lately", I whisper back with perfect timing.
"Why is he in our house?", a harsh voice says from behind me.
Woah I didn't exactly expect that tone, did the twins or Derek somehow hear about what happened at the party?
Although what's strange is Killian is the one who questioned me and he's not even in our High school, he's in medical school for God's sake.
That can only mean one thing. My siblings have obviously been talking to each other relaying messages about me.
I know I told them to leave me alone and to genuinely fuck off but I can't help but feel angry that they've decided to be more united now that I've distanced myself.
So I do what I know how to do best, Channel that anger and unleash it.
I have a feeling this morning won't end well.
I don't respond and we continue talking about the bagel going on with our conversation.
Suddenly I hear someone grab my wrist and turn me around with enough force.
Diane.
I didn't hear her come in.
I turn around the faces of disgust seen around the kitchen from Derek, Diane, Elise, Killian, and Dillan.
My face goes blank and Kai immediately stays at my side his arms crossed.
"Who are you?", Diane asks completely catching me off guard.
Maybe it's the way the question was presented that made me react the way I did, all I know is I did not feel good in the slightest.
I've asked myself that ever since waking from the coma and have yet to find the answer.
"I'm a burden", I say the whole kitchen becoming quiet.
I see Kai look at me in shock at the corner of my eye.
"What-", Derek starts.
"how could she let this happen", I say again trying so hard to keep my most intense emotions at bay.
"I sometimes wonder if we're related" After I say that I see the subtle hints of recognition appear in their eyes.
"she should be awake by now, I'm missing my recital for this," I say causing Elise to look down at the floor her lips trembling.
probably from shame, fucking good.
"How did you hear that- y-you weren't supposed to", Diane says as if it makes it any better.
"I'm thankful I did hear it, or I wouldn't have noticed the snakes in the grass", I say my eyes glaring at them.
"The things I did for you all just for you to get rid of all my care in just a few minutes", I say shaking my head and progressively angrier.
"I'm so so sorry", Dillan says quickly the desperation in his voice more than present.
Back then Dillan didn't say anything and I think that's why he's currently speaking now. He feels he has to.
The rest though are still silent. Whether it's a pride thing or them just being themselves is what I can't decipher.
How Dillan and I are now is a complete disgrace and contrast to what we were before. I knew him and his secrets and kept them, especially the secret that would supposedly ruin our mother.
"You know we didn't mean that", Derek says trying to still find an excuse or way out.
"Do I?", I say the room still silent.
"I don't know what to make of this family anymore and now that I think about it I don't think I ever did", I say grabbing Kai's arm and the bagels.
"We're off", I say not looking back.
We walk outside and I just know Kai wants to say something but honestly, after he witnessed my family I'm not sure if he wants to or knows what to say after that train wreck.
Most of all I don't think I even know what to say.
"I'll take an Uber", I say making him nod in understanding.
